    When will you lot ever start using the present tense?
    And the 13.5 million for Shearer would easily be 40 million in the present tense. If that's how you want it.
    So? If my mum was my sister I'd be a Rovers fan, but she isn't. You also don't account for the fact that you signed Shearer for an English transfer record fee whearas Jay is a product of our youth team. When was the last time a product of your youth set up went for £7 million? How about you stick to your articles on this site rather than trying to distract from your own(hilarious) plight. And while we're at it is there any more proof of the lack of education, intelligence and football understanding in Blackburn than their claim that Kilby has siphoned off money from the club? Back on topic, £7 million is great money and there's really no way we could turn that down unless there was a better offer knocking around. With Ings and Austin we'll still have a great strike force at this level, we could invest £1-2 million of that in someone like Vokes to provide us with a different kind of player then £3 million for a new defender and midfielder and we'd have a decent shot at the play offs. Jay needs to leave to get Premiership football and put himself in the frame for an England call up so it would be wrong for us to stand in his way.
    Phil Jones. numpty, and I hope you invest the money wisely this time.
    Fair enough, I forgot about Jones - that money was well spent though wasn't it...

    As a Premiership club you could command bigger fees, there's no way you'll be receiving £7 million for any of you players now you're in the Championship, your best prospect could even walk for a few hundred thousand.

    Still don't see why you're on Burnley articles. Surely it hurts to see that the grass is actually greener?
    Yes, you only remember what you want to remember you lot. Don't you.... Hypocrites."

Clarets agree record fee with Saints for striker Rodriguez

JAY Rodriguez could be on the verge of leaving Burnley, after the Clarets agreed a record breaking £7million fee with Southampton.

Saints have led the chase for the sought after striker since winning promotion back to the Premier League.

And they may have succeeded in fending off competition from a host of top flight teams, including Newcastle, Everton and Fulham, after getting the closest to Burnley's £8m asking price.

Personal terms have yet to be agreed, however.

Rodriguez is currently out of the country and has yet to meet with the south coast club's officials.

But Southampton will be hopeful of landing one of their prime targets, 12 months after having a £5m bid turned down.

Should the deal go ahead it would break the club's outgoing transfer fee record, set by Steven Fletcher two years ago.

The Scotland striker joined Wolves in a deal worth £6.5m.
