Go Sam Vokes ... Stoke 1-0 up at Villa

Described by the BBC as a "veteran striker". Jeez, I feel old.

Well done Big Sam!!

Regards Hoever - I think Wolves were told to just 'suck it up'

Duffer_

It’s odd from Wolves, how can you have an asset of that value for 12 months and only pay 10% in this sort of market. Really strange one It is because the transfer fee for Hoever (£9m?) is netted, so they are paying c£5m cash but transferring a third of the total value of Jota in year one (£14m = Ho...

Surely Mike has to offer his shares to existing shareholders first.if they can’t match the American offer then Mike can proceed. But would that not mean all shareholders have to see the offer?

Nothing in the Articles to suggest that is the case.

I think Brentford's cut has been reported as 27.5% of profit which I think may be the fee agreed with A.nother minus what we paid rumoured to be £3.5million

Here is a Ready Reckoner for the split of the sale proceeds based on mdd2's assumptions.

100% behind that. Fans are blaming him due to weaknesses in other areas of the field. I don't understand the criticism.

A very simple way of looking at things. It's not about quantity when you get to that number. I'd sooner we had 18 (plus youth players) but have better quality. We can't have it both ways with our finances. I am not asking for the world. If our finances are so desperate then we have to sell JT to re...

We are allowed 25 players in the squad. We currently have 21 as Dwight and other U21s don't count. I don't think it is unreasonable to have a squad of 25 players, particularly when you consider it is very possible that 6 or 7 could be injured at any one time. We are in the business of playing footba...

Nixon says we are keen on Steve Cook for 8m should Tarkowski be sold. Or Scott Dann/Craig Dawson.

Steve Cook? Why would we buy a keeper to replace a CB?

It’s criminal that we’re on the cusp of losing Tarky yet still let our record signing centre half leave on loan. For the good of the club something should’ve been sorted out.

Personally, I know nothing about Wilson but with CIES Football Observatory valueing him at £29.9 million https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/burnley-alk-capital-takeover-news-18990547 then I'm more than willing to give him a chance.

Duffer_

Seemingly now? So it's pure speculation is it? Will you be as quick to give him credit if the Harry Wilson signing actually happens? No. Harry Wilson doesn't know his Favicon from his Schema Markup. If you think signing Wilson will improve the quality of our website then you are as deluded as Rigg.

What inside information have you got that Mike Rigg vetoed anything? Please tell, as I'm sure we'd all like to know.

I say "vetoed" but I really mean "ignored". Seemingly he prefers to rely on the wealth of resources at his disposal rather than the musings from my bedsit.

Unfortunately in our current financial situation you cant have a good website and a 30 something past his best midfielder.

I like that the Club has let the website be designed as part of a primary school D&T project. My favourite part is where you get to click on "Teams" to then select a single option of "First Team", which should really say "First Team - Male". Perhaps other options will be added next term.

The clause only being active for NW clubs seems like 'new news'. Where has this come from? In any event, if Leicester cannot activate the clause then we are free to demand whatever we like and have no obligation to sell. Whether that is good business is another matter.

Yes, a bit of artistic licence with the dialogue, as I'm sure the 'F' word wasn't used in Georgian times, but it's certainly a gritty 'in your face' script.

Did people ever say "cunny"?

Dunno, I was too busy tuppin to notice

Duffer_

Samantha Morton is great in it. I remember watching her in Band of Gold all those years ago, ironically playing a prostitute. I wasn't over fond of Lucy as a character and thought Eloise Smyth who played her was a relative weak link.

The dialogue was sharp and it was refreshingly different overall.

Hello! Hello! How come I've been cut out of the loop? Charlotte, Emily and Pa - make of that what you will. No time for Lucy.

Had Hendrick signed a new contract, which wasn't entirely out of the question, his value on the balance sheet would have been refreshed ( so to speak ).

Well that was a tenner well spent. Watched the game with my lads who loved the Brownhill strike and were amused by my enthusiasm for the outstanding Bobby Thomas. Was it too much to suggest a market value of £120m (Maguire plus Tarky)? He's 19 for flip's sake!

Stephens is 31 so how long a contract would we need to offer to entice him? I would rather look elsewhere. At 30 Dawson is maybe easier - a straightforward 2yrs + 1yr option.

Remember Icarus. Our competing the in the PL is almost dangerous for a club such as ours due to the wage commitments.

If Pieters plays in defence tomorrow, I can see him being at centre back.

I don't think it's a terrible idea but surely he would have played at CB against Sheff U if that was in Dyche's mind?

Duffer_

If he is on his way and it is amicable enough, would you still play him? Or, would you play Jimmy Dunne? I would play Tarky until he is sold. Every point is precious.

Edit: but not if he is going to Leicester

Duffer_

I'd have him here on loan. Me too. If there is any truth in the takeover talk or even if it's just financial uncertainty that's causing the transfer inertia, then the loan market makes a lot of sense. Lots of options to structure deals that maintain the appearance of operating within the wage struc...
