Ben Gibson
Re: Ben Gibson
If Ben is adamant that he is not signing then he should go and the money used to "fund" the additional money being asked for our targets-assuming we get Gibson. That way we could potentially have Gibson Dawson Clucas and Jay and yes i know I have not accounted for their salary demands
Re: Ben Gibson
I think well go to £15m and then pull out. I would have prefered Dawson, far more aggression in the box from corners.

What if he accepts after 36 hours? Tell him to sling his hook? Time limits won't work unless the player completely believes you mean them.Steddyman wrote:Put a time limit of 24 hours to accept the offer. Job done.

Re: Ben Gibson
Of course we need another (4 in total) cbs. Just can't see ben and ben in the same back 4. Dawson will arrive as well in prep for tarks leaving next year. Just can't see bfc turning down big money for tarks or ben mee.

Re: Ben Gibson
I cant believe I'm saying this, taking in to account my 34 years following the clarets, but just pay the extra 2mil and get it over the line. The contact must have happened with agents of these players to get a feel for wage demands and thus passed off before we lodged a bid, so presumably we are happy with personal terms. Imagine what we could have done with 2mil 10 years ago, just a sign of the digits involved in football.

He can't accept after 36 hours, it is a time limited offer for 24 hours. It would prevent agents using us as a stepping stone and would not be an unreasonable clause given how long is left of the window.dsr wrote:What if he accepts after 36 hours?

Re: Ben Gibson
What if he accepts the offer and then fails a medical? It’s like buying a house. The deal isn’t done until both parties sign on the dotted line. Until then both parties are vulnerable.Steddyman wrote:He can't accept after 36 hours, it is a time limited offer for 24 hours.

Re: Ben Gibson
So what you're recommending is that if we have a player available at a fee we like, personal terms agreed, the manager wants him, and the player wants to come - you would turn him down because he was 12 hours late deciding? Or even 5 minutes late?Steddyman wrote:He can't accept after 36 hours, it is a time limited offer for 24 hours.

Does anybody? Last pre-season I think the club did a video showing the depth involved in doing a players medical. Walters I think?ClaretTony wrote:You really don't have a clue how the transfer market works do you?
It would take a very brave club to do it, but it would be really fascinating to actually see what goes on behind the scenes in a football transfer.
Incidentally this was a really interesting insight from last seasons transfer window about just how quickly things can change:

I think some people genuinely believe we've only just thought about putting a bid in for Clucas / Gibson / Jay and been sat on our hands all summer

Re: Ben Gibson
Pulls suggesting the only way he will still be at the club is if he doesn't want to leave, so it seems like the issue of sorting out a fee will be pretty easy to get by. Born behind on transfers so need to sell
Re: Ben Gibson
I presume he was probably asked to stay with them for a year to see if they could get promoted back to the Prem and, if not, then he would be allowed to leave. I would actually be quite excited by this signing if we could pull it off ... still fairly young, scope to improve and potentially make us some money further down the line.
Re: Ben Gibson
You said we could do nothing about it. I gave you a concrete way we could prevent being used. You don’t know if that is feasible or not.ClaretTony wrote:Maybe I do and maybe I don't but I'm not obsessed with it and I don't make the sort of nonsensical comments you do.
Re: Ben Gibson
I know whether it's feasible or not. In a theoretical sense, yes, because we're perfectly entitled to withdraw our interest in signing a player in the same way as he can withdraw his interest in signing. But in a practical sense no, because the only actual result would be that there could be a player that wants to come and and we wnat him and the money is all agreed, but you wouldn't sign him because he's missed a deadline.Steddyman wrote:You said we could do nothing about it. I gave you a concrete way we could prevent being used. You don’t know if that is feasible or not.
Suppose we'd tried it with Mawson. The deal was agreed, he'd verbally agreed to come, and we put a deadline to sign the paperwork within 24 hours or the deal was off. Do you think he would have signed? No, because he knew Fulham were interested. But what if (after talking to Fulham) he decided, after 36 hours, to come to Burnley after all. You would have told him to clear off, we were no longer interested. How would that be good for the club?
This isn't specifically football. Suppose you were offered two jobs, were mulling it over, and one of the prospective employers told you to sign in 24 hours or they didn't want you any more. Would it encourage you to join them, or put you off?

The power is in the hands of players and agents - rarely do players in the top leagues have one option so why on earth would we be so stupid to make their decision for them by giving them ultimatums ?
Maybe it could work at Man United or Real Madrid as they are big and arrogant enough to think they are the only club the player should be considering but at 99% of clubs you still have the job of convincing players to choose your club instead of someone else offering very similar terms

Re: Ben Gibson
Steddyman's approach works for Mark Cuban on Sharktank...... the person pitching their business wants the highest investment for the lowest amount of equity, but if Mark Cuban brings the most personal value to the deal, and the pitcher knows it, and Cuban gives a give me an answer in 10 seconds deadline, it works more often than not. If not Cuban doesn't care and waits for the next.
Not saying it would work here, but it's a method employed.....

Re: Ben Gibson
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.

If the club has two or three possible player signings and they're indifferent who they get, then the club has some power. But that is very rarely true.

We make an offer to the selling club via a transfer fee and that has to be accepted before me move onto personal terms.
In personal terms we can tell the player the terms we can offer, but he has 48 hours (or however long) to accept them.
Simple as.
