" Burnley deny 'Rodriguez' offers..... "

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18182424

Burnley's outgoing chairman Barry Kilby has said the club have not received any bids for star striker Jay Rodriguez.
Manager Eddie Howe admitted in April that he expected sizeable offers for the 22-year-old, who scored 21 goals for the Clarets last season.
But Kilby told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Nobody has contacted us.
"What happens at this time of year, in my experience, is that agents plant things in newspapers. Nobody's been onto us officially."
Kilby added: "Jay is still here as a Burnley player and, until somebody contacts us, we can't react."
Newcastle and Cardiff are among the clubs that have been linked with a move for Rodriguez, who was named in the Championship team of the year by the Professional Footballers Association last month after a prolific season for Burnley.
But for a 25-minute substitute appearance against Bristol City on the final day of the campaign, he missed the last month of the season with a groin problem.
Kilby is stepping down after nearly 14 years as chairman at Turf Moor after being diagnosed with cancer in February.

Feel good propaganda by our club just as the season tickets go back on sale

I know this is only press speculation but we as a club always seem to be linked with players that always JUST seem out of reach.

If we are interested, this is another one that we will probably miss out on because he goes to the Prem. Are we setting our sights too high all the time or are the stories put out there so that it LOOKS like we are making the effort.

I'm glad a some truth is getting out.

I'm glad a some truth is getting out.

Mind you it does say "Cardiff are PREPARING a move for him" rather than we have ALREADY bid for him? so who knows?

Where the f**k are we getting £5.5m from though? We sold Ramsey for £4.8m - daft bastards!

It's not the club mate, its greedy agents stirring up interest in the player, age old trick.

And we'll probably try and pay for him with "Drip Payments" as well!

Come on, Really £5.5m? ...........................

I can agree on that with agents.

Jay Rodriguez has 1 year left on his contract and he has refused a new contract offer and no one can dispute that, Burnley have two options sell him or keep him and watch him walk next year for nothing. My money is on they sell him, will we get him who knows but MM is setting the bar exactly where we need it to be if we are looking to build a promotion team.

Just after the end of the season Eddie Howe was interviewed by BBC and he said he wanted any player movements, in or out, sorted as soon as possible. For me Jay Rodriguez falls into the get sorted or moved on category and for me there is no way Eddie Howe will do a Wenger and sit until the week before the transfer window closes before selling one of his best players. No way.

The truth is if Jay Rodriguez doesn't accept a new contract offer he is for sale and we should be congratulating MM for targeting a player like this. It doesn't mean we will get him but any offer above £2m for this player would be very tempting for Burnley.

Can't believe anyone would doubt that this player is not a geniune target for MM, but then again we are Cardiff fans and if we signed Ronaldo, Messi and Ageuro some people on this board would find a reason why we don't need them.

Unbelievable.

Gary, he is a genuine target for Malky, but first of all the money is way of target.

Gary, I believe most managers in the championship will be interested! But who's got the wonga at the end of the day!

Can't remember our transfer Record? was it Peter Thorne/Chopra (depending on method of payment)?

Our owners are still struggling to find a way to pay Langston £10m (a greatly reduced historic debt!) so where are we going to get £5.5m to pay for one player?

If this comes off - I'll eat a fecking hat shop!

Yes, but hopefully there's a huge fire to back up all this smoke

Craig;

Forget the £5.5m that is only paper talk the important thing here is that we have a young player, with no PL experience, with his contract running out in a years time and refusing to agree a new contract with his club. Unless Burnley can get him to accept a new offer he is for sale and the only question is what will the price be. Whatever the final price one thing is for sure it won't all be paid up front it will be paid over a number of years just like the Malaysians (and other previous owners) like it.

Maybe a PL club will step in and take him, who knows, but most any Championship club will have a chance of doing a deal with the player because he is "Homegrown" and probably just like Joe Ledley, Adam Matthews and Chris Gunter is on a pittance compared to others at Burnley.

Langston will take care of itself, be it sooner or later, but as I see it the club are under no pressure to pay and by pressure I mean having it's arse dragged into court. Carl has said discussions are ongoing and thats why I believe it will be resolved but it won't affect transfer targets or budgets.

We are in exciting times for the club and lets remember we only failed at the last minute from getting Sordell in January for £4m. I believe MM has a warchest to sign players and he has targeted Jay Rodriguez and I hope we get him, if not I really think that target number two, which I have been told is Steve Morrison will get us all sitting up and taking notice.

Exciting summer no doubt.

Lets get both of them in then if we have a warchest?

cos lets be fair, Miller can't hit a Cows arse with a banjo at the moment!

I'm not doubting we are targeting him, But why didn't we match Bolton's offer for Sordell if we now have all this money - 2 quality players in January - and we might already be in the premiership.....

We lost Sordell because of politics in my opinion. I read an article by Sordell saying he was driving to Cardiff to sign when his agent rang to say Bolton were in for him and he should go there instead. Malkay is on record as saying at 3.00pm the club done the deal with Watford and were waiting for the player to arrive in Cardiff, when he hadn't arrived at 7.30pm they rang Watford who informed the club they had accepted Boltons offer.

Just Watford trying to make Malkay look bad in my opinion.

I've been told Malkay has submitted a list of players we need to be targetting and there are 5 "Headline" names likely to cost big money. Jay Rodriguez is top of the list. He also has a list of Bosmans (Price is one) together with a list of young players with potential like Mason and Harris and season long loans.(Vuckic is a target for a season loan).

If what I'm being told is right MM has authority to get 1 of the headline signing the reaminder will be Bosmans, youngsters with potential and loans so when it's all dusted down it may not be £m's but the squad will be stronger and the budget will be lower having lost the overpaid DJ fringe players.

Sadly there is still another season before we see then end of the DJ players who won't feature so we are still a work in progress but I believe we will be stronger come 18th August than we were at the end of the season.

Plenty of speculation, but it's just that, even the eggo say as much.

Malky going for the impossible again then. Then when the start of the season starts he will say we was close but we didn't get our man, but as it stands there is no one left so we will have to make do with just a reserve keeper.

Surely that's the point in looking at deals now.

I love the way people are so quick to have a dig at the club and manager based on pure speculation.

As for the article above denying a bid was made, when no one has said a bid was being made, just prepared.
Even that just speculation off icwales who lets be honest are a load of shit anyway.

2Blue going for the impossible that we were never going to land to keep the fans happy. Look at who we was lined up to get in Januarys bull shit season. IMO we never intended to get any of them

Who says we have gone for him? Icwales that's all. Infact they haven't even said we have gone for him just that we might.
At this stage of the season the club should be ambitious, plenty of time to move onto other targets.

I certainly don't see the need for people to knock the club and manager on speculation from the unreliable ICWales. If we listened to them we must have signed Joe Lewis about 5/6 times already

Jan bores me, it's done to death but Carl and Annis and poyet said Noone was close and Sodell was pulled out of the game to sign for us so hardly impossible. Neither signed so make of that what you will.

Nuclear,

You are getting more negative by the day.
This is the silly season when all sort of rumours and claims will be made about players at various clubs..
All the rumours are placed by different players agents for obvious reasons.
Namely to secure the best monetary deals for players on their books.
All clubs are subject to this.

Chill out and see what happens. I happen to like your posts.
Like Annis says everybody has got an opinion.
I think we will all be pleasantly surprised with our line up at the first league game.
You are on a roller coaster mate and you can't get off. No City fan can !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its all bollocks, even if we did put a £5.5million bid. We know full well that he'd go to a prem club, another smoke screen and propaganda by our club to boost profile and season ticket sales.

Do you honestly believe someone would buy a season ticket because ICwales say we MIGHT be making a bid for someone
