BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
Villa up to £91m spent so far as per Sky Sports. Definitely in my top 3 for clubs I would like to see relegated this season.

Which is why it's better to hold on to him for a season but do you do the decent thing and let him go (what's best for the player) or put the club first and hang on to him.CombatClaret wrote:I'd hoped If he left it would be to a more established team, letting him go to a promoted club seriously strengthens a rival which we should be looking to finish above.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
I'd put the club first and hang on to him and play him week in week out, then he can go, if he still chooses, at the end of the season. If his form fails, or his attitude affects his form (doubtful for Heaton), or he gets injured then we use Pope earlier than planned.Firthy wrote:Which is why it's better to hold on to him for a season but do you do the decent thing and let him go (what's best for the player) or put the club first and hang on to him.

I'd be wanting a premium if it's Villa, but not letting him leave isn't necessarily putting the club first, if he's not happy.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
Looks well doesn't it they spend big on over priced players spending astronomically
Then come in with a derisory offer to land one of the most important positions
Try taking the **** out of someone else Villa
Hope you have one season in the sun

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
We're trying to stay in the league as long as possible (at some point we will go down), so losing out on £9m might be price worth paying in refusing to strengthen a rival and better our chances of another year at the £100m+ table.rob63 wrote:So we let him go next year to another newly-promoted club?

Sure it might happen next year anyway but that's a year away in time and money.
Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
Yep - keep him and if he plays like he did last season he’ll be a big part in securing another season in the Premier League and another £120m.rob63 wrote:So we let him go next year to another newly-promoted club? For nothing, & lose out on £8/9m-ish for groundhog day to happen?
Plus as fans we get another season seeing for many of us our favourite Burnley keeper ever.
Personally I prefer that to having £42m in the Bank instead of £34m.....that doesn’t float my boat as much on a Saturday afternoon when I go watch the team

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
another year on and Pope is No 1 and Heaton is another year older - hence why the club have offered 1 year extension and not 3 years - the club cannot guarantee No 1 slot for Tom for 3 years, but they can say this year you've got it because it was yours at the end of last season.rob63 wrote:So we let him go next year to another newly-promoted club?

Vydra out on loan to a championship club. Why would we keep him and loan him out, we might as well sell him.
Heaton allowed to go if AV up their bid. Complete contradiction to SD's comments.
SD is looking for a midfielder because of Defours fitness problems.
These are rumours anyway one of us could have made up. There are so many crap football sites now that just make up or regurgitate old rumours that most of them can be ignored.
John Cross is a very respected journo and has plenty of contacts in the game so have no reason to doubt his piece on Heaton
Not read through everything on here but seem to remember that we were only prepared to offer Heaton an extra year after this whereas he was looking for a longer deal

Good young player, domestic, lots of potential, can play anywhere across the front line, already lives local, part of the Ireland squad, scored 12 outfield goals last season in only 27 games ( primarily from the left wing) and he was obviously going to move in this window for a price well within our budget.
£6 - 8m ( with a resell clause ) is a snip in this market. A half decent season in the Premiership could see his value rise substantially.
We could have developed him into the quick Centre Forward that we arguably need, because he showed a lof of promise in the couple of outings he got there last season. Having a new player in the squad, who could do a job on either wing, would have been beneficial should any of our existing players leave next year.
Well done Sheffield, cracking signing that could easily turn out to be the bargain of the window going forward.

Really ?
You mention his ok record last year but that’s his 3rd season at Preston and he played 40 odd games in each of his previous 2 seasons and didn’t pull up many trees.
He’s 25 this year so whilst I agree he has time to develop he’s also had plenty of opportunity to do better than he has.
In this current market £6m to £8m looks about right - if anything it’s too much.
Seriously not got a clue why you think this is such a great signing other than some campaign you have where you seem to love to criticise our transfer strategy and think everyone else’s is great.

Couldn’t hold his water, never mind a long range shot. Pretty sure there’s a video compilation on social media of all his mistakes over the last 18 months.
Would love to take someone off Leeds (Phillips) as it winds my mates up but this would not be a good signing on any way at all.

He’s a Wells type signing for me - but the difference for Sheff United is that he will probably get straight in their team whereas if we bought him just like Wells he’s lucky if he makes our bench.
Based on his career to date he’d either be our 5th best striker or 5th best wide man.
There’s a reason why only Sheff United are interested in buying him and why even in this crazy market he’s going for only £6m to £8m.

Think they've shown their intent already by the contracts offered, they prefer £8m now & maybe put towards a CM or £3m in Jan when choice of midfielders is less. Just can't get a handle on the Hart situation thoGoobs wrote:Depends on our intent really.

More likely than your scenario is that Heaton doesn’t get injured. He retains the no 1 shirt and either he signs a new contract with us and stays or we get another year out of him where he helps secure another year in the premier league and another £120m income...and he moves on a free and we start again with another really good keeper in Nick Pope.
If he leaves I don’t really care where he goes because there is nothing we can do about it - so why worry about something outside of your control ? Even if he decides he wants to leave now - again why worry about where he goes. We should just make the best effort we can to keep him and then it’s up to Tom....if he leaves we just focus on ourselves and the players left here - like we always have done when players we all want to stay end up leaving or being sold.
