Talk of Jay Rodriguez as we haven't given enough cash to Soton yet.
Also Lacazette. Lyon don't want to sell, but dangle a big enough carrot.
Lacazette would be a decent alternative to Remy, very similar player in terms of quality & style.
It is ridiculous that yet another Southampton player is being linked with us, but Jay Rodriguez is not a bad shout as a backup striker either to be honest. If we hadn't already signed Lallana, Lambert & Lovren I think people would probably be more open to the idea of signing him!
and a bit of a question re: the relationship between Serbians and Croatians these days, as we just signed one of each...do they still violently hate each other?
Haha would be even more interesting if we signed a Bosnian in Shaqiri as well!
To be fair though most young Yugoslavs are intelligent enough to recognize that this isn't their generation's battle (in the same way that the French & the Germans of our generation don't hold WWI & WWII against each other!). While there might be a bit of resentment over what happened in the past, in the majority of cases they're not going to have a go someone in their early 20's for something that happened before they were born. I know plenty of ex-pat Serbs/Croats/Bosnians who live over here that are friends with each other.
Unfortunately you get a couple of delinquents in every ethnic group who are looking for trouble for whatever reason and will use whatever excuse they can think of to start fights, but those sorts of people are very much a minority these days.
