Truly excellent news

Steddyman

Imagine If we got Jay in addition to Vydra an got Walters and Wells out. That would be excellent business

Steddyman

Chris Boden just contradicted that.

That almost sounded positive.

I've been positive on all our signings. Very good business so far.

It is only how long it took to sign anyone that had me concerned

Steddyman

Despite my big reservations about how late we started signing players, I have been impressed with our signings this last week.

Probably because they want £20 million and are going to remain stubborn until they get it (or more likely don't).

Steddyman

Wow. Awesome. Imagine if we also signed Jay

LoveCurryPies wrote:Why the brackets on the title?

Was asked by another poster to use brackets if we hadn’t been linked to a player so I was just obliging.

Looks like Aston Villa are in for him.

Excellent signing. A big statement of intent.

Welcome Joe.

Steddyman

I'd take him at this stage of the window. I hear he has two legs and a head which is good enough for me.

So has Clucas.

Steddyman

I'm guessing it is more likely related to image rights from Joe Hart (unless we have been gazumped).

Steddyman

Crystal Palace reportedly looking at other targets because Jairo Riedewald is refusing to move to Swansea as part of the deal.

He's reportedly on £50k a week at Swansea so is probably within our wage limits. Would be a great signing for sure.

Haha.. that one made me laugh. Not saying I agree with it but funny nonetheless.

Steddyman

Making me nervous too. What seems to happen is the press get wind of a signing for us, we spend our time getting it over the line, then someone comes in and hijacks it. Hopefully not the case here as I think he would be a good match for us.

Steddyman

3 year permanent deal.

Steddyman

I’d said all along that we’d play brinkmanship with Jay then get to the last day of the window and somebody else would come in for him. Should have paid the asking price on this given how much he wanted to come.

Steddyman

Assuming Joe Hart signs tomorrow then just another 2 will do me. Pacy striker who can play off our many target men. Also a pacy tricky winger who can create something out of nothing. Would love a Robbie Blake type character (though I realise he wasn't pacy, especially on his last stint at the club).

Steddyman

That is one of the funniest things I have seen this year. What a top lad.

Steddyman

He was poor today. Only wanted to appear to fight for the ball rather than actually battling for it for real.

Here is Tyrone Marshall's tweet (LT):

Don't know much about him, but being touted by Neil Lennon (obviously wants to sell him).

£3 million. Worth a punt?

Steddyman

I really hope this is true. He would be the best signing we could make.

And by the looks of it United are about to go in for Harry McGuire. To have all our defenders locked down to long term deals would make me a lot more relaxed in transfer windows.

Steddyman

Swansea fans seem really ****** off with the prospect of this falling through. Seems a fall guy for their relegation.

Steddyman

Top signing. Having watched the Clarets Player interview, he clearly has the ideal attitude to fit into the squad.

Steddyman

Mail sport football reporter just tweeted the deal will be completed this afternoon. Another on pitch announcement?

Steddyman

I guess the question is going to prove irrelevant now. Thanks for the answer anyway.

Steddyman

Fitness will not be the problem. "He is not fit but we will get him fit" Sean Dyche and so we sign him au Wells. More likely "I have assessed his injury, looked at the MR of his knee and I cannot be certain he doesn't need more surgery. If he does he will be out another 9 months"...

Steddyman

Seen this article suggesting the same. I would take him in an instant:

https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/footbal ... 90649.html

Steddyman

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but the following article talks about a golden handshake made by City to allow him to come to us.

Steddyman

If we announce the signings of any players tomorrow, I presume with it being a friendly they will be able to play?

I would assume even trialists could play?

Steddyman

If you think Ben is a good passer of the ball, you are obviously watching on a very bad stream. He's a giant as a defender, and as brave as s lion, but a footballer he isn't. I don't agree. I've been a season ticket holder with my family for 10 years and in the early days he was error prone. Last 2...

Diesel wrote:Just wait until you see Gibson's variety of passing, then you'll be saying 'Ben who?'

I think Ben is a great passer of the ball. But as a defender at stopping attacks he is better than Tarks. Tarks also has a habit of trying to do a little to much with the ball and gets caught out sometimes.

Steddyman

Unless Mee leaves Gibson is not going to replace him in the team immediately. I've never understood why Tarks and Keane before him got all the the plaudits and England chances when for me Ben has been outstanding.

Steddyman

There is no news anywhere in the twittersphere corroborating the claims that the deal has hit a problem.

Steddyman

I sold my BTC to USDT a few days about at $7800.... will buy back at $5000 which should be the bottom giving me a 50% increase in my BTC holdings.

Steddyman

Pearcey wrote:If true then we need to move on sharpish. Maybe he wants too much money.

Local press been saying for days that Salary is not straightforward.

Steddyman

Great. A good player who will provide real competition for Ben and Tarks.

I'll be even happier when BFC announce it. Have we ever announced a signing on a weekend though? We usually have to do all the interviews for Clarets Player before making any announcements.

Steddyman

If we really want him let's just pay the 20 mill. We desperately need to improve our attacking options, if we have to pay slightly over the odds occasionally so be it. It's not how BFC work. We will increase it in £1 million increments and hope we get it over the line in time and that nobody else c...

Steddyman

Report suggest we have had a new £16 million bid rejected and told it will take £20 million (again).

Steddyman

Also seems like Dyche and Pulis’ conviviality helped keep this one smooth. I wonder whether the Vokes thing might still happen for Boro IF Burnley are successful in luring Jay Rod (or other forward). There is no way we will be letting go of Sam in this window. He is our best target man for holding ...

Steddyman

This is a very shrewd bit of business by BFC. Buy him now for £4 million, get his confidence up and back to his best, then in a years time he will want a huge pay rise so we can sell him back to a top team for £20 million.

Steddyman

Clearly something has shifted at the board level with this big influx of offers going out. This is the complete opposite of our approach until this point.

Good to see. I'm glad Mike reads the board and has listened to me

If that's true then he is exactly the type of character we need.

Great. Good signing.

from the Sun Joe Hart is reportedly set to sign for Burnley in a £4million move. The former England No.1 has been frozen out at Manchester City having spent last season on loan at West Ham.

How many of those employers wanted you so badly that they offered your previous employer £10m to let you go? That's the point you can't understand. When the player has several choices of similar value and the club hasn't, then the player has the power. If the club has two or three possible player s...
