Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
Agreed. The only thing about the foreign market though is even though it isn't as inflated as ours it becomes mysteriously so as soon as someone mentions PL. Foreign clubs seem to think that every PL club is awash with money (compared to many leagues that is true) and when a PL club comes knocking the price suddenly increases. However what will be will be and hopefully sometime soon I'm going to come on here and say 'I was wrong'.KRBFC wrote:That's where the foreign market comes in handy, players earn significantly less so we can give them a juicy wage increase to tempt them but still be comfortably inside our boundaries, we are a PL club who finished 7th, the supposed greatest league in the world, there are players in France, Holland, Portugal leagues etc who would jump at the chance to come to England and not every PL club is fighting for the same player so we wouldn't even have to compete financially for the same player with other PL clubs. I forgot to mention the foreign market is nowhere near as inflated in comparison with the PL market.

Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
The issue with the foreign market is that players are cheaper pound-for-pound, but they are also more of a risk. Both because its harder to judge how they will adapt to the Premier League, and secondly because there's more risk of them struggling to settle/fit in to live in the North West of England (or indeed, being a generally bad egg). So yes, you might save a few quid, but it might cost you more in the long run.
We've gone gradually from targeting players who have pedigree in the Championship, to targeting players with established Premier League pedigree, so all the time we're removing elements of risk from our planning (and we've been willing to pay the premium that goes with it).

Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
If its such a risk why are two thirds of players in the Premier League from overseas ?

Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
If we are paying for players in line with a "pound for pound" weight formulae then Jay Rod, Dawson and Clucas all need to be put on a crash diet for the next couple of weeks. Nothing but lettuce, bean sprouts and water should bring their rumoured prices down to palatable levels.claretspice wrote:The issue with the foreign market is that players are cheaper pound-for-pound, but they are also more of a risk.
I expected Mawson and possibly Gibson to be outside of our current price range. I suspect it would take a cucumber only meal plan to get them down below £20m and £15m respectively.

I reckon it would very easy to get to half a billion pounds of overseas flops in the last 3 years.
Starter for ten
Classen
Slimani
Lindeloff
Silva (Leicester)
Musa
Imbula
Rene Sanchis
Sandro (Everton)
Wimmer
Gabbiadini
That’s more than £200m without scratching the surface and that’s just transfer fees not wages and signing on fees.
That’s also without even looking at basket case clubs like Sunderland, West Ham etc

I'd say Klaassen , was just in the wrong place at the wrong time at Everton, I'd have him here.
Same with Burke.

Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
Gross is a real player and a great find last summer; same with Ryan as well. Brighton can identify a player that's for sure. Jorgensen at Huddersfield as well, £3.5m was a snip for him.

Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
Noone said you can't get value from abroad, nor that we shouldn't. Id certainly like us to use that market more. But the failure rate is much higher from abroad - that's just a fact - and as a club we perceive that our ability to do our due diligence and "de-risk" signings is impacted the further afield a player comes from.
At the end of the day, it is all very well citing Huddersfield and Brighton - but well as they both did last season, as it stands we're the club that their fans are looking to emulate in terms of recent success. And given that only Mee of the current Burnley team pre-dates the Dyche/Garlick era, transfer policy remains a big part of that.

I am pretty sure we had Mat Ryan here on trial about 4 years ago and decided not to sign him.
I would say that Nick Pope and Tom Heaton are much better keepers than Ryan and only cost us a combined £1M
We can identify players too that's for sure

I notice neither Clucas nor Mawson have travelled on Swansea's pre season tour.Both still recuperating after injuries apparently.

Look at the way JBG has developed, for example, or Tarkowski, or Pope.
Re: ARTICLE: No imminent move for Clucas
I know we can identify a player as well. Can I not just praise another club please? I wasn't even comparing them to us, just stating a fact. They did very well last summer in the transfer market and stayed up comfortably. That's an impressive thing to do in your first PL season. Same with Huddersfield.

Sounds like we’re being messed around for a bang average player. “Problems from many angles” - should make a final take it or leave it offer - surely Sam Clucas isn’t worth chasing right up until deadline day...
