Doubt we'll be able to get him to stall long enough for us to get the money together, if we do I would be interested to see how he does.

Everton boss David Moyes is making a frantic last-gasp bid to sign Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez - and pinch him from under Southampton's noses.

The England Under-21 cap has been with Saints for the past two days, discussing a record £6.5million switch from the Championship Clarets to the Premier League.

However, Moyes has now stepped into the chase.

He wants Rodriguez to stall on a decision and allow him time to try to get the finances together to bring him to Goodison as a partner for Nikica Jelavic.
Rodriguez has just come back from holiday to walk into a transfer tug-of-war.

Southampton have offered him a lucrative deal, but the chance to stay in the north-west with Everton may sway him.

However, Rodriguez will be taking a gamble if he turns down Saints and waits for Everton as Moyes will have to sell before he can buy - and also has Tottenham's Steven Pienaar as a 'priority' capture.

Moyes' late move will be a pain for Southampton chief Nigel Adkins, who has put a lot of time and effort into Rodriguez.
The Everton entry into the race may also be bad news for Burnley, as Moyes is expected to offer less than Southampton have put on the table.

Rodriguez has just a year left on his contract and will have a fair amount of say in where he goes.

i dont know what's worse. These stories being written, or people believing them. We are searching down the back of the sofa for pennies to buy Pienaar and then this story gains traction. Face it, we might sign pienaar by paying 50p a week for 20 years, but that will be it unless we sell rodwell or baines
 
I'm baffled that a Championship player with 1 year left on his contract can command such a high transfer fee, he must be pretty good.
