[Terrier]

To stoke, no doubt I have missed this info on this forum.

[Holtyclaret]

It’s a rumour, the version I saw on a very dubious page on fb.

He’ll be going somewhere, hopefully like barnes he gets a lucrative 2 year deal for himself.

[bumba]

Stoke would be a good move to stay close to his family

[morninbob]

He's represented by beswicks, a Stoke based agency.

[wilks_bfc]

Rumour seems to have been first mentioned on TeamTalk so I wouldn’t read too much into it (going to Stoke that is, I don’t doubt he’ll be leaving)

[ClaretTony]

He’s been with Beswicks a long time I think

[jrgbfc]

Think i'd fancy a few years in America like Westwood and Arfield have done.

[ISpeds00]

He's got over 6 offers from CURRENT championship clubs, most notably the one reported - Stoke (there is a lot of legs in this)
Given his ties with his agent and Stoke

He's also got offers from abroad, but i can't say where. it's 2 different countries though

Knowing Jay, he probably hasnt a clue what he wants to do yet himself

1 thing for sure is no matter what our outcome this season - he wont be here next

[blatherwickstattoos]

He’s off to America with jack cork.

[CoolClaret]

He’s off to America with jack cork.

It'd be pretty cool if they all ended up together at Charlotte.

[ClaretTony]

I believe we tried to push him out on loan at the end of January, maybe Jack Cork too.

Unbelievable. I'd still be starting both if it was up to me. I'm pretty sure they'd have helped us have more points than our current pathetic tally.

[CrosspoolClarets]

I don’t think we are deliberately setting out to lose games, but there seems a real naive hope that raw kids can perform at the same level as senior pros who have seem it and done it. It seems like a kind of inverted snobbery, the older one is the worse they must be. Football doesn’t work like that.

[ClaretTony]

Unbelievable. I'd still be starting both if it was up to me. I'm pretty sure they'd have helped us have more points than our current pathetic tally.

Jack was such a key player in the first half of last season but really has been sidelined. Just three sub appearances this season in the league after 74, 89 and 89 minutes. Wasn’t even on the bench against Brighton.

[Nonayforever]

I would imagine the club was trying to loan out JBG as well in Jan.

[NL Claret]

Starting both in the PL? Based on what? Sentiment?

Cork and Jay Rod’s best seasons were in the last decade.

I assume by your capitalisation you mean some of those offers are from promotion contenders. I know I’d prefer him to Bamford, Vardy and Armstrong!

If I were him I’d go and join Westy and Scott across the pond though.

Will be gutted to see him go but also feel it’s the right time.

I love Cork and think we’d have stayed up in the season we went down if Dyche had played him every game. But I find it hard to believe anyone would play him over Cullen and Berge now.

[blatherwickstattoos]

This is true. Jay said no

Based on them being very good footballers still. Cork was excellent in both of our previous two seasons. I personally thought he was better than Cullen for the first half of last season and was very unlucky to be dropped. I could be wrong but I think I remember him being top of the player of the year ratings on here at 1 point?

As for Rodriguez, I think he offers us a lot when we play to his strengths which is playing into his feet and chest. He gives us something we don't have but people cant see it just because he's slow and doesn't score a lot of goals.
He'd be the first striker on the teamsheet for me upfront out of our current options at the moment, with Foster next to him.

[Goliath]

This is true. Jay said no

Good.

[ElectroClaret]

If he's good enough for Stoke in the Championship, then maybe he'll be good enough for us in the same division?

Or is it the length of contract that's important?

[bobinho]

Be good to free up that HUGE wage he’s getting…

Rodriguez being a very good footballer still, based on what? He couldn’t control a simple pass or make a simple pass in his recent games. Doesn’t look a goal threat at all either.

Ha. His touch is fantastic and probably his main attribute.

He's looked a goal threat all season. Chelsea header hit the bar, 2 or 3 offside goals, chances against Brighton and wolves all off the top of my head. Even when he came on the other day he found space at the edge of the box fir the half chance with the side footed effort.
Genuinely think during his second spell he's been one of the most underrated players we've ever had. Up there with Steven Fletcher.

[Vegas Claret]

We are living dangerously if we let all the experience walk out of the door, it's essential in the Championship imho.

[Woodleyclaret]

Keep him and offer a player coach role
Unlike some we have he understands what it means to be playing in the top flight for Burnley.

[Awayfromburnley]

Nah he hasn't shown anything near good enough for a new contract

Let's face it, if he was called Jason Roderickson he wouldn't be getting a look in

[Clive 1960]

That was the problem this season we were shirt of two experienced pro's in and around the team..

[claret2018]

I don’t think you need experience of the Championship to do well in it. Look at our best players last season, they were all youngsters.

I’ve said it many times, but if Jay wasn’t a local lad he’d have been shipped out years ago, and rightly so. Remove the sentiment and it’s a terrible signing (second time round) when you look at his overall cost to us.

B.ollocks

[warksclaret]

Been a great player probably peaking at Southampton. He showed at Chelsea he still had the control, touch and vision, but sadly at his age the pace and sharpness are no longer there, nor the consistency. I hope he can extend his career-I think Stoke could be a tough ask for him and they wont show him our loyalty, so maybe the American League could be a perfect way to end his career. Lets hope he makes the right choice as he has been a smashing advocate for our club

[Belgianclaret]

Exactly, lack of experience cost us heavily this season, and may do so next season.

We need at least another few experienced pros besides Charlie (hoping he stays).

Held together by the likes of Corky, Jay, Barnes, JBG, Cullen...

[BurnleyFC]

He’s probably still good enough for a middle end Championship team, but it’s absolutely right that he’s moving on.

[Jambounchained]

He'd should definitely move abroad.

Can't see him doing much in a very very poor Stoke side.

[Pickles]

I love when fans suggest offering a player a coaching role. It happened with Barnes, Heaton the other day I think, and it's happened here. What makes Rodriguez a good coach? Is he interested in being a coach? Is he qualified?

[aggi]

He’s been with Beswicks a long time I think

Is that the one that Steve Cotterill was involved with somehow?

[Big Vinny K]

He said in the recent Ben Foster podcast interview that he had no interest in going into coaching or management.

Unless the rumoured interest from Stoke is very recent I was told that so far there’s only been one club approached him. It’s not a British club.
It’s still early though and I am pretty sure he will find a club. He wants to play on for a couple of years at least he said.

[ClaretTony]

I think they were Steve's agent

[randomclaret2]

Makes a change for Stoke to be looking at our cast offs rather than the other way round

I thought Sam Vokes would do well at Stoke....don't think it happened for him.

Agreed-and to all those suggesting an extension or coaching role, its not their money.

[aggi]

That could have been it. I think half of our team were with them at one point.

[Woodleyclaret]

Actually as a season ticket holder and former teacher of Jayrod I may be biased

[ClaretTony]

They were but a lot because they’d been signed from Stoke

[helmclaret]

Mr. Cotterill, please.

I am not sure they get a say in if it is something they would want to do, some seem to think the club should just tell them they are now a coach.

I have never heard a fan of any other club say keep him as a coach, we would have about 50 coaches had we kept all those we should ave made a coach.
