I remember listening to an interview with Duff talking about his early days managing Cheltenham. He cited the signing of 36 year old Luke Varney as being pivotal to what he was able to achieve there in terms of raising general standards of professionalism across the whole squad. Fair shout.guess would depend on Rodriguez’ motivation. He wouldn’t have to move which maybe attractive at what will be 35 come august but he wouldn’t be coming for the money either considering what he was probably on at Burnley. Also although he’s been quality would he be a starter? Duff likes his strikers to press high from the front,could he do that job?tbh striker wise in general can any of our current crop do that….Healey will bag goals iv no doubt,just not sure he can manage the press.Though he’ll probably prove me wrong on that one.Would we have the same issue were the Rodriguez thing come off? |

I think, to play the way Duff wants, you really need four strikers you can rotate 60/30. I haven't seen much of Rodriguez in the last couple of years, but I suppose the fact he's been offered new terms by Burnley suggests he still has something to offer. A poster on Up The Clarets seems to think we've offered a longer deal. Personally, if I only had the budget for one of them, I'd be heavily pursuing Jack Cork: I think he's an excellent player (and professional) and would immediately transform our midfield. I'd imagine there will be one or two Championship managers of a similar mind though. |

I'd imagine there will be one or two Championship managers of a similar mind though. Yeh would agree on both fronts regarding cork. Didn’t realise Burnley had offered Rodriguez another deal.Would certainly indicate he’s got something to give,they will have money so could go after someone else if they wanted. A longer deal with us may suit him as he may get similar or just less money over two years than the one at Burnley but be guaranteed much more game time. |

I’d just like to get ahead of the curve and scream in advance of the poster who inevitably says Rovrum “are doing bits” or some shite cos they’ve signed JCH and some defender that I’ve never heard of from Pompey

Would have done a job for Pompey in the Championship and an excellent signing for Rotherham. |

I have heard a rumour today that we have offered a contract to Jay Rodriguez that's currently at Burnley. Believe we looked at him last summer.Would be on a free this summer though.34 turning 35 in July would maybe be of concern. I see we are still looking at past it players after their legs have gone. Sh!? |

I'd take Jay Rodriguez. Not only for what he'd bring on a Saturday afternoon, but for the standards he'd have and the example he'd be in the dressing room.

Some Ideas:
- Will Ferry - LWB - Free Agent from Cheltenham
- Miki Munoz - CM - Free Agent from Burgos CF, passing player
- Alejandro Cantero - Winger - Levante - Promising as a young player, now 23 with 1 year left and not much recent game time
- John Buckley - CM - Blackburn - Struggled last couple of years in the champ, drop down in level might help him rediscover his promise as a young player... hope Blackburn would be willing to get rid.
Like the idea of Herbie Kane, Devante Cole & Jay Rodriguez too for what that's worth.

This is very important for us. We have a squad full of players who don't know how to win, and we desperately need to sign some who are going to raise standards and bring everyone else up to their level of mentality. |

Cantero a super classy player Joe Taylor looked electric for Lincoln in the snippets I’ve seen last season.. would Luton be looking to loan again? The left back for Crewe Rio Adabesi looked a promising young player as well in the playoffs .. out of contract.. but then again you could say the same about Aaron Rowe |

Sh!? “Legs are gone” even tho he got 2 in 21 from the bench in the prem yes not amazing but the season before he did get 10 in 21 in the championship 🤷🏻♂️I’d have him personally good back up as well |

Sh!? Would you say Hoggs legs have gone? Still one of, if not, the fittest in the squad. Rodriguez is a true professional who has looked after himself. |

Rodriguez is a true professional who has looked after himself. When was the last time you saw Hogg dominate a game? Have a MotM performance? He's a town legend, no doubt, but he's been a leader in a team that has stunk the league out for two seasons and apart from the Wagner days and a season under Corberan he's been very average. |

Seen Cantero several times whilst on business in Valencia and he really impressed. Could drop down to make a name for themselves in England. Not sure what Brexit implications are nowadays though? |

I never mentioned anything about him dominating a game. I said his legs havn't gone. He could still put a huge shift in at 36 and do what he does best, nothing more. At 35, Rodriguez would still be one of, if not, the best striker in League 1. Worst part is, a lot still wanted Rhodes to resign, but would then snub this rumour. |

Not seen Hogg dominate the midfield at all for quite a while now. If he's a fit, top performer as you suggest, then you'd think he'd have had a dominant, stand out performance or two over the last couple of seasons? We need better if we're looking to progress as a club. I'd keep him as back-up, but as a regular starter? Not for me. |

There is zero correlation between being one of the fittest and dominating. If Hoggs legs have gone, God help us with the rest of the squad. I also never said a regular starter. I agree, he should be a bit part player. This was primarily to do with Rodriguez. I don't see how we could complain about him as a signing. Especially if Burnley even want to give him a new deal. |
