I am still really unsure about this move. I would rather leave it till the summer when there will be more options available anyway.
But he's Poch's first choice!

This move needs time and a long medical to go ahead to test his fitness. Reading the Southampton forum they don't seem optimistic he'll feature this season so why make a last minute move to sign him?

His contract is up 2016 from what I believe so his value will keep going down and if we really still want him we can go for him in the summer.
J-Rod quickly becoming the new Leandro Damiao.

Think he must be a little more fucked than they are letting on.
In the beginning he was supposedly going to be back around October, now we're in Feb and there is no sign and now talk of the end of the season. Players very rarely come back the same after a CL injury anyway but a 14 month lay off as well hints to me that something has gone wrong with his recovery.
I read Paul Lake's book a while back about his struggles and ultimate failure to recover from a ACL. OK this was the early 90's but it does sound like a hellish injury if the surgery fails.
