The Swansea City manager was reacting after his side were linked with a move to the Ipswich Town player on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
Scotland scored 45 league goals for the Swans in two seasons at the Liberty before he followed former manager Roberto Martinez to Wigan Athletic.<\/p>\n
But with a change of manager at Ipswich there is speculation that he may return back to South Wales.<\/p>\n
Rodgers told the Western Mail \u201cHe is someone who had two fantastic years here and scored a lot of goals,\u201d said Rodgers. \u201cEveryone knows Jason\u2019s qualities and if he became available for a loan we would have to consider it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a possibility to buy him in the summer, but we didn\u2019t have that sort of money and there were other things we needed to look at at the time at the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he is certainly a player that could be interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI don\u2019t know what the situation is with him because I\u2019ve not asked the question.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it\u2019s a case that he wants to play, but I\u2019ve not spoken to anyone and he\u2019s an Ipswich player.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you ask the same question as I did with Leon Britton that in between now and the end of the season would he help us finish as high as we can?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an interesting one. We have got Luke Moore, who will be a terrific signing for this club, and goalscorers in Stephen Dobbie and Craig Beattie, but Scotland is a goalscorer himself, so it\u2019s an interesting one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sources close to the player at Ipswich though have suggested told Planet Swans that there have been no formal talks with the player but you do wonder whether it is a case of there is no smoke…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
