City apparently open to letting Fabian Delph leave.
He’s 30 this year and had a couple of injuries last few years but generally kept himself fit.
Seems like the right type of character and can play more than one position.
He might be slightly above our price range and there may be bigger / wealthier clubs than us interested. I’d rather not be signing too many players at this age but you don’t often get England international midfielders with his Premier League experience and success becoming available at a price / salary level which isn’t a million miles away from what we could afford (assuming he could be in that bracket of around £60k - £70k a week ?)

Delph would be ideal, but think he might be more a West Ham / Palace type signing. They're just that next level compared to us in terms of finances and pull.

Yep probably - maybe even Everton with Gomez going back.
Or Delph might see our his contract and rejoin his hometown club Leeds if they get promoted this season

My Everton supporting pal said they're signing Gomez , however this was Thursday, they're also hoping to sign zoum. He said looking at around 50m for the pair.

Yes definitely. With the Euros coming up next summer i wonder if some of the players on the fringes of international squads might be more open to clubs like Burnley in order to try and get more game time?

I doubt it, the initiation season is to sit on the bench for 12 months first. ;-)

Been strong rumours about Delph for a couple of seasons, but should he really come up one has to wonder if our pockets would be deep enough.

How did you recognize her as being Tarkowski's Mum?

Mind you many years ago I was watching us play at Oxford maybe it was and I was praising Paul Fletcher
And the lady sitting next to me told me she was Paul Fletcher's Mum

Really odd that. I was good friends with paul fletchers mum and his wife Shan.
I used to live next door to Alan Stevenson on River Drive and he and Fletcher and he were best mates

Paul’s mum and dad never missed a game. His mum Lilian died when he was at Coventry but his dad Frank made it into his 90s. Think he passed away last year. Lovely couple.

Not sure about liking a debilitating illness but it’s an improvement on terminal. At the time, quite correctly, there wasn't much information available.

this is in the Mirror

Burnley will listen to offers for Ben Gibson this summer.

The 26-year-old arrived at Turf Moor in a £15m deal from his home-town club Middlesbrough just 12 months ago – but played just one league game in an injury-plagued campaign.

The Clarets would consider a loan move for the stopper who was on England’s radar before he was sidelined by a string of issues.

He was linked with Besiktas – but the Turkish club has played down that – but the newly-promoted trio of Premier League clubs all need to strengthen at the heart of their defence.

Middlesbrough would take him back – and Sheffield Wednesday are also keen – but the player is not looking to drop back down into the Championship.

At his age he really needs to be playing. Can't afford to waste another year sitting on our bench waiting for Ben Mee to get injured.

Would be stupid to loan or sell him to a potential relegation rival unless we can agree a swap deal for another player that we want

Seems crazy, he was on the England radar when at Boro, although I'm sure he wont want another season sat on his backside.

We will start to struggle attracting these best of below players or they'll become expensive mistakes.
We need to start improving the first 11, which will in turn improve the squad.

A can of beans fell off the shelf. She headed it, to get control, then launched 40 yards, to where he was standing.

It's another one of those where we can't see into the future. Had we lost Mee to an injury or being sold, he'd have been needed. So in that respect it wasn't a mistake, as we covered ourselves very well. But he aint going to get into the first team as things stand. A loan deal, with the option of being able to bring him back if/when needed would be possibly ok, but I don't think that can happen if he's loaned out in this country.

Other than that, try and get back as much as we can for him (if he wants to leave), but make sure we get a 20-25% sell-on fee, in case he does get into the England squad.

Agreed, he's far too good to be sat on Burnley's bench all season.
I really did think with SD magic he'd turn us into a better distribution from the back side, and get back into the England reckoning. Ben Mee has been very good since the turn of the year.

But if we did sell Gibson, and used the money to improve the first 11 ( midfield wise ) I'd accept the sale is needed.

Just struggling to see the plan going forward.

If we take the cup comps seriously, itd get some of the better bench players half a dozen games a season, and I know that ain't enough, bit with possible injuries and suspensions too, it's a start.

The transfer window speculation has got even worse this year with all the click bait websites just coming up with a load of utter nonsense. Sadly it includes what used to be some reputable local newspapers.

Yes, there's some rubbish out there.......particularly with the regurgitation of old news being presented as new scoops. At one time if a newspaper carried speculation then it would be denied either by the alleged selling club or a local journo "close to" the player, then gossip finished! Now local journos don't seem to be "close to" players anymore, so that could explain the local newspapers jumping on the chatter bandwagon.
It's not helped by clubs denying a rumour & then selling anyway, of course!

Just inadvertently got onto a Norwich fansite, they've just been linked with their 50th player so far this window...... but they have signed 2!

If Maguire goes to Citeh, it could set up a merry go round.
Tarks would be tempted if Leicester and Rodgers came calling, in which case losing Gibson would be madness.
I wouldn't like to lose either, but rather like our goal keeping problems too many good players of a similar ilk, is nearly as bad as having none.

Maybe a swap deal with Boro with some sort of cash adjustment for their young central defender Dael Fry
