Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
As put on the other thread, two very good players for this level that will make us stronger.
Reading the local papers down there and what the WBA fans say about these two on social media is always a good barometer I find. And it is all very positive!
Some supporters need to be realistic about our transfer dealing this summer.... I would be happy with these two.

Bardsley played in 3 wins and 4 draws over the season, that’s 13 points worth of game time.Steve1956 wrote:Laughable
Included in those was a win at Bournemouth, in which he was excellent.
Also played in the win at Ewood in the cup.
Pedestrian, hardly.
And Walters was injured for 3/4 if he season and then kept out by our attackers who’d been in great form, not his fault.

Express & Star reporting that West Brom have turned it down and would want considerably more. Also suggesting that they wouldn't let Jay Rod go if Salomon Rondon was to leave if someone, Newcastle being likely, meet his release clause.

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
If we went in at £25m as a starting point, I am reasonably confident we knew it would probably take closer to £30m and are willing to go that far.
Like it or not, West Brom value Rodriguez at £20m and Dawson in this market is worth at least £10m, for sure.

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
We will do it the hard way. That’s what we do. We value a player at a certain amount and that’s where we go to. If we don’t get the player, we move on to the next player who will also have a certain value to us.
It is a policy that has worked very well for us recently, let’s hope it continues to work. Trouble is, we can be in danger of being laughed out of the room if we go in with could be described as insulting offers, not that I believe the figures being discussed are insulting in this case.
Both decent players, both add to the squad. And if SD thinks he can do something with them, let’s get em in.

I can’t normally see abc’s posts, unless they are quoted by someone else. Trouble is, once you have read summat, it can’t be unread.
Something very underhand and very snide about his post quoted in #13 above by Steve. Jumping on the l’equipe bandwagon from last season by the sounds of it.
Don’t know what others make of it, but I know what I made of it. Shame really, given we are ALL supposed to be supporters of this club.

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
We might get a better value striker than Jay but we should go all out for Dawson. Cracking centre back and almost as good at full back. He's surpisingly decent going forward.
Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
When you said it was a done deal, and he would be the first signing , it is irrelevant whether your calendar is broken or not.AGENT_CLARET wrote:I didn't realize it was August 9th already and the transfer window had closed, I must get a new calendar.
You're the same chap as the one on the football rumours site, with a worse strike rate than Juke had for us.
The fact you can't say the name of this player due to letting your source down, even though it's a done deal kind of scuppers any credibility you're trying to get.

I'm surprised that Rodriguez didn't put a release clause in. You'd have thought that if he agreed a 50% wage cut on relegation, he'd be able to insist on a release cause at the price they paid for him.

Pick another team, and just say the club pulled the plug on the done deal, you're down to an 18/1 chance now, better odds.

One big factor that you won't see in mainstream reports is the amount of money that is paid up front and how much is paid in instalments. The press typically only report the net figure.
Obviously WBA are looking at a big hole in their budget so, for example, £25 million up front might be more enticing to them than £30 million spread over 3 or 4 seasons.
Because of our amazing healthy current finances we perhaps have the upper hand in these negotiations.
Another factor is whether these players want to join us. If they do and have expressly told WBA that they'd like to join us then it improves our hand again.

in fairness to abc, i don't think he was saying anything like the l'equipe article's garbage. it seemed more that he was saying both players are similar to what we have and whilst i wouldn't necessarily agree with that regarding rodriguez, i would agree about dawson, who is almost a right footed ben mee (albeit one who scores more goals).bobinho wrote:I can’t normally see abc’s posts, unless they are quoted by someone else.

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
Yes, I agree. Nobody (particularly not Burnley) pays all fees up front. It's all about how the deals are broken down. Personally, I could see £25m up front being enough but agreeing the add ons or further instalments might be the issue.Rowls wrote:It's never as straightforward these days.

I seem to recall the reason why our deal to sign Ross Wallace from Preston was so attractive to PNE as the whole £800k was an upfront payment and PNE needed some cash.
