He’s one of our own

[Belgianclaret]

Great to hear this chant and to see the applause Jayrod received on his substitution yesterday.

Far from finished and claret through and through

[Elizabeth]

Hopefully his goal earns him a good run in the team now. Every player needs that to get up to match fitness and unfortunately Jay hasn’t had that opportunity much in the last couple of seasons

[Terrier]

People saying he is american bound next season.

[jdrobbo]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Would need a massive change in the relationship between Jay and a certain member of the coaching staff for him to even consider staying if offered a deal.

[Pickles]

People saying he is american bound next season.

And why not. Would be a class move for him.

[Pearcey]

He’s a top player and I hope he gets a run in the side. Wouldn’t blame him for heading to America though.

[beddie]

Amazing what a difference a goal makes. Several of the people sat near me were constantly shouting so many disgusting obscenities at Jay prior to him scoring, mind you they were directing their insults to most of our players until we scored and certainly to all the united team for the rest of the game. So glad for Jay, he needed that.

Why sow demoralising seeds like that when you can't back it up with facts?

You should see a match day thread

[blake's wand]

Took his goal really well I thought - let's hope it's start of a confident run

[claretonthecoast1882]

Demoralising for who exactly ?

I don't need to back it up, if you would prefer to think it is ******** that is perfectly fine with me

[KRBFC]

Not good enough i'm afraid

[bfcjg]

Great player at his best but his goal tally suggests those days are behind him, hope he gets a contract elsewhere .

[KRBFC]

£50,000 a week, ouch

[HahaYeah]

That was one of his best goals,his composure and skill was really impressive.

Never heard this before, has Jay fallen out with someone?

[warksclaret]

I saw glimpses of a great relationship with Weghorst. The stage is set for these two to get the necessary goals to start getting us 3 points.If so he more than deserves a new contract. If he does not get on with one of our coaches that seems a bit out of character about Jay. I am assuming if true its not SD who seems to like him and speaks well of him

[joey13]

One would imagine it’s SS

SD never speaks badly about our players, so no clue there.

Who knowns? However, unless its author is more forthcoming, I wouldn't take much credence from a random remark on the internet.

Why make that statement without being prepared to elaborate?

I have elaborated, I just haven't named the other person.

Not sure I have to ask you what I post do I ?

There was no elaboration there at all.

Why bother mentioning anything if you aren’t going to spill the beans, mentioning something like that you surely knew you would be questioned about it.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Had I said he won't sign and nothing else you would have a point. I mentioned it in response to the going to America comment. Someone shortly after my comment (who I don't personally know) also backs this up. This should be enough for adults without being desperate for names to be named.

As I have said file it as untrue, you of all people on here should be fine with that with the lies often dished out

[Steve1956]

In every workplace people don't get on with each other.....move on...I take it for what it is a non story.

Yes I think I will, i hope he doesn’t sign the goal came in handy the other night i won’t dispute that but in a return goal ratio based on appearances considering his wage, I think we could do better, saying that though in the championship he’d probably click into gear easier.

[Targetman]

Then file it as made up and everything is fine

Again a strange reply?
Are you expecting to make an unsubstantiated statement about Jay Rodriguez without anyone questioning that?

[bfcjg]

One would imagine it’s SS

I thought our organised gang loved him.

[clarethomer]

I have heard some rumours that Jay isn’t happy at the club and had put transfer requests In but had them turned down.

Also heard that he got a bit of stick for something that happened in the Brighton game which basically had someone putting him back in his place in the dressing room from the coaching staff.

And also heard that Charlie and McNeill have had a falling out.

I dismiss most rumours but it’s hard to not acknowledge that Jay’s connections and friends in the area could have some substance to how this info has come out.

Although, I accept that it may clearly not have substance and it’s Chinese whispers so me saying anything of the above serves no purpose really because it’s all unsubstantiated and is just what it is - a rumour I have heard.

I have no doubt lots of these things happen at every club day in and out and even if it has happened- it’s hardly sensational activity when you compare to what we hear and see what other players do at other clubs.

“It’s hardly sensational activity when you compare to what we hear & see what other players do at other clubs” - no it isn’t, but it goes some way into explaining the unrest & chaos that’s happening at the club & the stuff we are aware of makes me wonder what else aren’t we aware of!

What unrest and chaos? You are simply making things up now. (Well, not just now)

[Jakubclaret]

Do you live under a rock, have you been reading the newspapers or listening to Simon Jordan?

[HahaYeah]

Started out as an upbeat positive thread and now we have unrest and chaos and are spiralling into the abyss.

[BleedingClaret]

The American suggestion has legs but for his legacy in an area where he may return after his playing days are up, as both him and his wife have family here abouts then helping us stay up this season helps that and adds weight to his appeal in any prospective move.
So lets just hope he gets a run in the team and succeeds this season and lets enjoy it if so.

[Rombald]

I'm not aware of living under a rock, but I will reply before I maybe am.
I think you are getting confused . The financial implications of ALK can't now be linked to rumours and hearsay about players being possibly fed up surely.

It can’t be helping, if I was working for a business/organisation that was heavily in debt at the back of my mind I’d be thinking about things my future, it’s all interconnected.

[ksrclaret]

Classic whopper

[Billy Balfour]

Aye, the kind of people who would complain about the lack of rain on a sunny day.

[AlargeClaret]

I think he can work really well with WW as he’s been starved of flicks and knockdowns etc . He still has great movement and anticipation and Jay’s form may well dictate our survival . It also releases Cornet a little as well

[IanMcL]

Sounds ridiculous that a Burnley, through and through, lad is suffering at the hands of a coach.

[BurnleyFC]

He’s not been overly happy with the manager for his lack of game time, either.

[Targetman]

Well to be fair last season wasn't one of his best. I'm a big fan of Jay but his form was really poor for a large part.
Let's hope he now gets more of a run in the side and maybe gets some crucial goals.

[HahaYeah]

Few words about Jay in the new presser @ 10 minute mark.

'He's got a lot of respect around here'

You never been on this board before? Lol!!

[tiger76]

Definitely signs that Jay/WW can form a useful partnership, and the goal was well crafted and finished.

Let's be honest Wood would never have created that chance for Jay would he, and that immediately sets Weghorst apart, he can create something out of nothing.

Although whether Jay is deserving of a new contract I have my doubts especially at his age, it might depend what league we're competing in next year.
