Jay Rodriguez: Burnley stay

Jay Rodriguez is happy to still be a Burnley player and remains focused on his new target of 20 goals this season.

Rodriguez was the subject of transfer speculation throughout January, but took to the field hours before Tuesday's deadline to net both goals in the Clarets' 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

A header in each half took the 22-year-old striker's tally to 16 in all competitions - outstripping the 15 he managed last term - and he remains on course for his revised milestone as Eddie Howe's in-form side step up their chase for the npower Championship play-offs.

"I am enjoying myself here and I'm looking forward to seeing where we are at the end of the season," Rodriguez told Burnley's official website. "I think we can go all the way but we are not going to get carried away.

"At the start of the season I just wanted to score more than I did last year which was 15. Now I want 20 but I will just keep working hard and see where it takes me.

"I am looking forward to the future. The team is looking stronger and stronger each week and it's a joy to be training and playing with the lads."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
