Would you’re taking Jay Rodriguez again now?

It’ll depart followers dreaming of a time once they had somebody who would completely lead the road for this present toothless facet, with Jay Rodriguez being one man who might just do that, and within the Championship too.

Having been signed in 2017 for a whopping £12m, his stint on the Hawthorns was one in all few the place he managed to really keep away from injuries.

He managed to characteristic 90 occasions for the Baggies, scoring 33 occasions and helping eight extra.

Seven objectives in his debut season for a crew that might get relegated marked a stable return, nonetheless, it was his 22-goal haul within the Championship the next marketing campaign that outlined him as somebody who could be of nice use to them now.

Even throughout Grant’s greatest goal-scoring season for West Brom, which was final season, his 18 objectives didn’t come near Rodriguez’s greatest tally.

Not solely that however standing at simply over 6 foot would make him sufficient of a bodily presence to occupy the hulking defence the second-tier typically throws up.

Having signed for Tony Pulis, he was full of praise for him after finalising the transfer: “He was distinctive for Southampton, he’s bought these totally different qualities to play wherever alongside the entrance line.”

With the power to play poacher or rating screamers, his dependability and suppleness would make him a fantastic asset to any crew.

Even right this moment, at 33 years previous, he has five objectives and one help in Burnley’s opening ten Championship video games.

If he can do it now, in his prime he will surely show a fantastic asset to this present Baggies outfit.

They’re crying out for a striker like Rodriguez, and the truth that they don’t have one looks as if it would find yourself costing Bruce his job.
