  • "Good luck & all the best to Jay Rodriguez and all I think the majority of Burnley fans will agree that we all want you to do well in the prem and the rest of your career, you'll always be a claret and I'm sure many will be following your future success , your a great ambassador for the youth system at Burnley and we'll hopefully see you in an England shirt before too long. To all Burnley fans of course we'd have loved jay to stay but in reality we all knew he was gonna go, let's not be bitter and resentful like our chicken loving neighbours down the road, all the best Jay do us proud, onwards & upwards for the clarets this season, bring em on.

Rodriguez says he will always be a Claret

JAY Rodriguez insists he will always be a Claret at heart after leaving his hometown team.

The 22-year-old will be joined Southampton on a £7million four-year deal.

Rodriguez insists he is excited about the future, but admitted he was equally sad to be exiting Turf Moor.

“I’ve been there from being 11 years old,” he said.

“The managers I’ve had there, from the centre of excellence to the youth team to my professional career have been great to me, the fans have been brilliant and all the lads I've met. It’'s been a great experience for me. I can’t thank (everyone) enough.

“It’s obviously a sad time for me, moving away from the club, but I will always follow the club. They still have a place in my heart. Burnley’s a great club and I’ve made great memories there.”
