Certainly the best keeper to ever play for Burnley,but a long way off best in the Premier league.

I’d say he’s one of the best in the world technically. I think he’ll move to a champs league squad soon enough

Just to cheer everyone up, boden says no announcement this week. Farnell and Co still in race.

He’s wrong.

The most Important thing to come out of the game is the absolute kick in the teeth that gave to the Fulham players. They battle to a point against Liverpool giving them hope, we take all 3 at the Arsenal.

Danieljwaterhouse

I love this board!

Laughed at when this was suggested as a transfer lined up in the last window.

Three pages of it now!

No can argue with facts: Tarks is an average premier league defender. He can’t play in a system that moves the defensive line 15m up the pitch. As most top 6/10 teams play. He’s too slow, static in his body, and in his shapes. He’d be great in a three, he’s outstanding in our system, but only becaus...

So why would they wait so long to announce it?

I’ve no idea

Danieljwaterhouse

I can answer your question easily with a no. There was no mention of ALK or anyone just that a takeover was progressing, wouldn’t be this side of Christmas, probably January. That was admittedly four days ago. I don’t know too much about ALK other than them already having non sporting interests in ...

Because we all see you bemoaning negative posts towards you then you post something will encourage such posts. A professional football reporter will have reported in good faith based on his information that he has received. It appears that the people you have spoken to have a different take on thin...

Generationally gifted player? That's the first time I've ever seen him called that. I'd have him at Burnley because I think our system would suit him with the protection it offers, but I don't think he's generationally gifted. Ferguson would disagree you, as would Southgate. Injuries are the only l...

Danieljwaterhouse

This isn’t the thread for this. Many in here can’t even begin to fathom our system even though they watch us play it WEEK IN WEEK OUT. We don’t play with our CBs in the halfway line, we don’t play against low blocks, we don’t play expansive tikatak football. We are the low block, we are the counter ...

Danieljwaterhouse

Jones isn’t Premier League Standard either and Is injury prone and expensive! We are to get new money then buying rubbish like Jones would see us end up like Sunderland who based their relegations on United cast offs Phil Jones is one of the best natural defenders of his generation. He has suffered...

Danieljwaterhouse

Why would we sign Jones .Hes a crock and has the speed and turning ability of a tortoise Also we have Jimmy Dunne and Longy as well as U23 defenders all keen to make a mark Lingard I would sign because I believe Sean could get him back to his best again .Possibly look at a loan with option to buy D...

If Tarkowski wants to move on, hopefully an agreement that he stays to the end of the season to help secure our PL status will suit everyone. He can then choose his career path and I'm hoping Bobby Thomas will be ready to step up. New owners may have a different agenda of course. Interesting one is...

Danieljwaterhouse

Tarks is a good defender, in our system.

He’s average in a more open and expansive system. But like Slabhead getting found out at United.

Playing higher up the pitch exposes his limitations, static body, limited pace and so on.

Danieljwaterhouse

Well played Sir. You've just bought yourself a one month extension of pretending you are ITK. Of course in true DJW style I will be prepared to apologise should I be proven to be wrong 😊 FWIW I reckon Jones would be a decent signing assuming the wages aren't ridiculous and he can stay fit (enough t...

Danieljwaterhouse

Wan-Bissaka has done nothing going forward for ManU and they concede too many. Tripps would be a major improvement attacking and not much behind defensively. He’s still to good for us and they would bring him back to the NW. I can see this happening. Tripper isn’t good enough positionally to play a...

So, I’m reading that, DJW, as to the new owners are building PR content - in the absence of Fans in the stadium, promo and interview videos etc so that there’s a comprehensive launch to the community, beyond the fan base

I don’t know what they’re doing with their new business.

You’re all clambering for Ben, Tony, myself, or others to justify out sources, to give you the information we have. We have in bucketloads! They don’t always tally, in fact they often conflict. But it is the nature of information that you very rarely have all the information to hand. Some people sit...

Never mind any of that, what's the delay? We are back to people saying they are in the know, offering conflicting stories and seemingly ignoring questions from people asking to know more.

You don’t invest into something and not suggest, tease, promote yourself to the fan base. Otherwise what’s the point of the initial outlay?

The article linked says he is
Articles at the time of the short sponsorship said he was, and wanted to get more involved, so I think it's safe to say he is a fan.

He’s hardly going to say different is he.

Danieljwaterhouse

Who knows! I’ve been told it’s done, I’ve been told lots of things are done in regards to the club, media and transfers, it’s all set behind the scenes.

Obviously, not everyone can be right. So let’s see how it all falls.

I’m confident

I mentioned Matthew Moulding a few weeks ago on this thread and DJW got a little uppity about it. Still, never mind. ;) I was uppity, not directly at you, because some think that because a ‘local’ makes billions they MUST want to invest in the local football club. That we have some direct claim on ...

Didn’t someone suggest this on the transfer thread?

Danieljwaterhouse

Friday wasn't it according to our friend "in the know"? You know who I mean? The person who keeps saying that he won't post on the takeover any more yet can't resist and comes back time after time with supposed inside info that doesn't materialise. Laws of averages says that he is bound to get some...

Danieljwaterhouse

If it’s completion, there won’t be any haggling as the pen hovers over the signature strip mate. The deal agreed, probably weeks ago, will be binding and the next signature a formality on exchange of monies. Even if it were exchange, I’d expect a deal of this nature to be extremely complex and have...

Do you think this is exchange or completion DJW?

I think it depends if there’s revisions, legal will brick it on a Friday and ask to push to Monday.

I’ll say completion, I’m an optimist. I’m also winning the Euromillions tonight!

I hope the new owners do want to buy up all the existing shares. I've got four. Could be a nice little earner!

As long as there’s no threat to the business operations, I think it’s always nice to have a token fan ownership percentage.

Danieljwaterhouse

I think It’ll get signed today, and there will be a press release about lunchtime to the city. They might wait until tomorrow for the full media roll out. All dependant on the last minute haggling as each tries to manoeuvre the other on signing day. Hence why a lot of sales/transfers don’t come thro...

There’s pros and cons to both bids, both have different models.

That’s not being particularly clear, because it’s only a week or two ago that you were backing the Egyptian bid. Why the change of heart?

Never backed the second bid.
