    3 weeks before season start and Merrick pulls that.
    Takes balls considering what happened this time last year.

    The herald article says out of Patito and the others they are looking at they will chose the best fit for the team. Maybe Merrick reconsidered who would be the best fit.
    The Patito story blew up because it was leaked in the Greek media and then everyone here got on it. Otherwise we would have been non the wiser.

    Good to see we're willing to fork out 3/4 a mil on a marquee though, sounds positive.

    Hopefully the caliber is there though.

    Merrick might be getting frustrated having not had to deal with a salary cap or player budgets at is previous appointments.

    RodrĂ*guez also missed 4 games with a Malleolar injury this year and had 68 days off in 2015 due to injury. Merrick might rightly see him as a risk.

    If you look at his value as a player pre 2015 injury and post the injury Rodriguez is certainly a player in decline - even at a relatively young age.

    Then you look at how small he is and he's going to struggle in a physical league unless he can compensate with agility / speed - which he appears to have lost. since 2015.

    Sounds more and more like a Denni, Ribiero type player, doesn't he. Not saying he can't adapy, and not saying they didn't, but he sounds in the mould of these players.

    I'll go with your opinion there - I haven't done any reading on the player. I'm just trying to gauge some sort of comparison in my head

    It's hard to know. Look at Fornaroli, his stats were not great before City....
    Dare to Zlatan

    While doing some research on Pato I came across an article of Argentina's top 20 unfulfilled talents. One of the comments said it was missing Pato.
    Also saw an article saying Man U were interesting in him in 2011. Don't know how bogus the article was.

    What is his agent moaning about??

    Until the contract is ****ing signed then it just all negotiation

    Either side can pull out at any time


    Usually it the player

    This time it the club

    Seems like the parasite is blowing up mainly because Bert has cost him a pay day and now he stuck trying to find Rodriguez a new deal elsewhere to get paid

    Anyway good to see we not settling for any old **** who will do

    Good to see Bert is selective and letting balls go.through to the keeper

    This sentence is the most accurate reporting in the history of the Jets.

    It's amazing how quick we jump on articles that don't have a single quote.

    This is typical Jets
    we have to overcome more hurdles than Sally Fleming.
    I just wished they announced a signing when we actually have a contract signed its like watching Days of our lives.
