Another one for the P list.

[Guller Bull]

If he comes he'll be the new Vydra! (or Wells - take your pick!)

[theroyaldyche]

4th bid rejected. Jus give them what they want

[IanMcL]

They need to keep him as they cannot sign a replacement.

[ksrclaret]

Oh come on, don't act like you're surprised, it's been this way since about 2014.

Apathy at best

[boatshed bill]

They need to keep him as they cannot sign a replacement.

I bet they'd take £15million, regardless. And that's the minimum we'd be paying for a decent striker in the summer.

[Billy Balfour]

I heard he's off to Bolivia.

Who cares. If Birmingham want £12m for him then we should sign him for £15m regardless.

No, I'm just saying that I bet they'd have our hand off in response to a specific post saying they couldn't sell.

[Woodleyclaret]

Straight swop for Vydra

[Rileybobs]

Wasn’t responding to you bb. I just picked the £15m out of the air. More making light of the fact that people whinge about us wasting money on Wells, Walters, Vydra etc. Well, what if Adams is seen as a massive risk as he’s extremely unproven and we’re only willing to risk so much? The same people slagging the board of for being penny pinchers would no doubt be the first to slag off the club for wasting the £15m if Adams flopped in the PL.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Friend.

Sounds like we would of gone to £12m, which in itself is quite a bold move. You'd have to think that we've been watching him to even consider that sort of money.

[BurnleyFC]

You missed a decimal point out in between the “1” and the “5”.

Exactly this...

[Dark Cloud]

I think the clamour actually started when it appeared it was going to be either this Adams guy or Crouch.....So I suppose you can kind of understand it tbh!!

[Dougall]

I heard he's off to Bolivia.

I heard that Cuba were going to sign him and loan him back to Bolivia !!

[Burnley Ace]

Che didn’t want to come to Burnley, nothing to do with our offer.

[gawthorpe_view]

Don't cry for me.....

(Sorry).

[boatshed bill]

Che didn’t want to come to Burnley, nothing to do with our offer.

If this is the case why did we submit bids?

[Ziggy Stardust]

Birmingham are six points off the playoffs. Why would they sell if they could (probably unlikely, but possible) get promoted and get the 100 million from the PL. They will get a similar amount if not more in summer for "Che" if he is that good and ends up with 25+ goals this season.

[SGr]

If Adams keeps up his form we’ll get to summer and be likely “priced out” (Dyche/Garlick’s words, not mine) by someone like Bournemouth.

That’s why we should’ve closed the deal in January if we were serious about it.

[gawthorpe_view]

If this is the case why did we submit bids?

Possibility because you can't talk a player under contract until you've agreed the fee with his employers.

[Billyblah]

Straight swop for Vydra

Don't understand why we're trying to dump Vydra out of the door. While Hart was busy picking the ball out of the net 3,4 and even five times per game over a protracted period, Vydra's game time can be counted in a handful of minutes. Extremely difficult to form an opinion based on that.

This is my worry as well,if Che falls through goes elsewhere in the summer i hope Mike Rigg has some alternatives to explore.

Bournemouth is definitely a possible destination for Che,if Callum Wilson departs for Chelsea in the summer for 30 million+,Bournemouth will have deep pockets to outbid most other interested parties including us.

Birmingham City still need the money desperately - nothing stopping us agreeing the deal now and having him in the summer you can till have the contract just not the registration and that way they get want they want both ways

Can you honestly see us getting him now ? His price come end of the season will be a lot more also other teams in the market for a striker than can blow us out the water . We had our chance and we didnt take the gamble

Depends.

We managed to get the best striker in the Championship at the time - Chris Wood, who'd scored 30 goals for Leeds during the season.

If adams keeps banging them in from now until the end of the season birmingham will just wait until the last few days of the window and sell to the highest bidder . There most likely going to sign a replacement early summer if possible which will strengthen there hand even more

I don't know is the simple answer, There has been speculation from non Burnley sources that we met their price and then they said it was not enough -it is believed both Wigan and Swansea pulled similar tricks yesterday, What I do know is City are in dire FFP circumstances and other than the owners doing a Venkys' (converting cash input into equity) this is perhaps the only way they will get what they need on the balance sheet in the current financial period

[jrgbfc]

Can guarantee he'll end up somewhere like Southampton this summer.

If he was the managers number 1 target like a few have sudjested you would like to think we will be working hard to get the deal done behind the scenes . But on the flipside maybe adams wasnt dyches target and was infact one of mike riggs and the manager felt he wasnt worth the extra money needed to land him considering we bought wells and vydra and never got a look in . They both come from the championship

[Burnley Ace]

If this is the case why did we submit bids?

Putting in bids for players that don’t want to come isn’t unusual - shows we are “trying” and sometimes the club can put pressure on the player to move.
