At Risk
This week is likely to be a buttock clenching time for some of us.
Apart from the players we are chasing it might be a case of who stays and who goes and some of the incoming deals may be linked to moving players on.
Ben Mee - despite the recent news, I won't be convinced that he will stay until he signs.
James Tarkowski - could be part of a centre half merry-go-round (ManU / Leicester/Chelsea/Liverpool)
Tom Heaton - seems to be struggling to get fit and I think that he might have gone already if Pope hadn't got crocked.
Steven Defour - seems to have gone very quiet on that front. He gave us good value last season, but that might have had something to do with the potential Belgian call-up for the WC. might be looking for a Chinese pension pot.
Sam Vokes - may go if we land JR or another forward
Jeff Hendrick - can't be happy with the crowd reaction and might jump at the chance to move on (unlikely however now that the Clucas deal has flopped)
Nahki Wells - again not a crowd favourite but could be part of another deal.
Jon Walters - apparently off to Preston. A loan yes but will mean that we are short of numbers at a particularly hectic time.
Aiden O'Neil - promising squad member reportedly going back to his native Australia.
So that is about 30% of our first team squad with some sort of uncertainty against them. I'm off to lie in a dark room.

Re: At Risk
Yeah, but that’s just you making stuff up. In reality there’s probably only the last three in your list that might go.

Re: At Risk
Don’t forget that Dyche might very well be considering a career change to a milkman so that he can spend afternoons with the family. Uncertain times indeed.

Re: At Risk
Youve just listed all of our players and come up with reasons why they might move? What a load of nonsense.
Also, why is this Defour to china thing perpetuated. It was a total throwaway comment 18m ago.

Re: At Risk
I `liked` it not in total agreement but love what goes through our brains as football fans pre and during the season. It really is in the blood and most of us can`t help but fret, for want of a better word. Incredible that we finished last season in 7th yet `situations` still concern us I suppose the adage of `the more you have, the more you want` is accurate in each and every walk of life.IWOODLOVETT wrote:This week is likely to be a buttock clenching time for some of us.

My main concerns are mainly around Defour, Brady and the elusive `No.10`.

Re: At Risk
Confident that the Chinese transfer window closed in July. You’ll need to look for an alternate destination for Defour.

JESUS CHRIST (agent claret)
Is he a new signing or is he at risk ? Is he good with crosses , I am told bread and fish is plentiful.

Re: At Risk
I really cant see that there is any chance of us signing Jesus but miracles do happen.
If there was a chance I would leave no stone unturned.
I know Jonathan has had his troubles in the past season with injury and I wish him well if he goes on loan to PNE but seriously Jesus can walk all over Walters.
