  • "We need two strikers:
    Jay and Hooper.
    At least 2 pacey wingers:
    1 to push Lallana on the left - Ince or Phillips. Then 1 first teamer on the right - Jarvis/Snodgrass. Back up would be Guly.
    1 CM - prem quality. I would expect this position to be a foreigner.
    1 CB - prem quality. Curtis Davis/Mathew Bates.
    1 goalie - young talented englishman
    Thats 7 players.

    Get rid of Barnard, Seabourne, Forte, Dickson, Puncheon either sell or on loan. De ridder or Hammond could stay and not really play or go as well.

    1st team something like:
    Davis, Richardson, Fox, Holiveld, Fonte, NEW RIGHT winger, Lallana, Spiderman, NEW CM, Lambert, NEW STRIKER.
    Bench/ squad rotation - Sharp, Lee, NEW STRIKER, NEW LEFT WINGER, Cork, Guly, Chaplow, Martin, NEW CB, Butterfield, Harding, NEW GK. 23 players.
    Plus 4-5 of the youth team. Reeves, Shaw, Stephens etc

    Thats a quality squad of 23 (+youth) mixed with promotion players, new quality players and the up and coming youth players. Spend would be about 20-25m."

Southampton 'make £6m-plus offer' for Jay Rodriguez claim reports

Saints have reportedly offered in excess of £6m for Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez.

Nigel Adkins failed in his pursuit to sign the highly-rated forward during last summer's transfer window, but it appears the club have now gone back in for the 22-year-old as they look to strengthen the squad for their Premier League return.

The Clarets are ideally hoping to receive £8m for the player, who has one year left to run on his contract, but were said to be mulling over the offer from Saints, according to reports from Lancashire.

However, this afternoon Burnley's head of media, Darren Bentley, claimed the club had received no bids for the young striker, who is also said to be attracting the attention of Sam Allardyce at West Ham.
