He'll probably be partnering Lindelof mostly.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
Phil Jones and Smalling are on the fade.Both are poor and i increasingly making costly errors.
Thats why United needed a new or even two cbs.Ironically, they could have resigned Keano at the time Everton stepped in and saved £50m

FB saying Leicester have offered £20 million plus add ons for Tarks. Have I missed this one. Surely it's a wind up.

Probably as much as a wind up as our hilarious double bid for Dawson and Rodriguez a few windows ago.

We can't expect to receive top dollar for a player and then complain when clubs want the same in return.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
I'm expecting SD to let Tarks go cheap and not replace him. A lot of his success is down to his relationship with the players and doing right by them. I believe if Tarks wants to go, then SD would see it as being fair to let him go, even if the price is only £20 million. We would just say it is an undisclosed fee.

a.) you could decide not to view this board, or just certain threads, during the transfer window
or
b.) you could add posters who you think will give an opinion that differs to yours to your 'foe' list.
If you do that, it should mean that debates can continue with people putting forward their thoughts and others having the opportunity to challenge them. Much like what happens on a fans forum, incidentally.

It is beyond my belief to think that so many posts on this thread share the same theme - that Dyche doesn't know what he is doing. Where do they expect Burnley to be in the League hierarchy?

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
I just think doing right by the players is the most important way he has of maintaining player Unity. They trust in him and he trusts in them. Perhaps it won't be £20 million but it will surely be a lot less than £50 million.
We've let players go before on a free that we could have sold for this reason, for example George Boyd and Dean Marney.

I have not problem with SD. The constraints he works under don't appear to be reasonable. It's not weird to have 4 fit capable central midfielders.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
If this £50m escape clause is real, then Tarkowski wouldn't have a moral leg to stand on if he wants to leave for less. He agreed the figure when he signed the contract (last year?) so it stands.Steddyman wrote:I just think doing right by the players is the most important way he has of maintaining player Unity.

It's one thing that the players trust him; but there are ways of getting that trust without letting them walk all over him. "Firm but fair" is how I see Dyche, and that's how he gets the respect even of arrogant players like Barton. Not be being spineless.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
It’s just ridiculous that we insist on having a minimum of four goalkeepers (first team alone) yet are constantly under resourced in central midfield.
That position, in particular, we never have any strength in depth whatsoever. If we don’t plug it this summer I will be really disappointed and concerned.

We all know by now that Dyche would rather sign nobody than sign someone he doesn't want; and the list of players he doesn't want is long. As Maria von Trapp almost said, you can't ask Sean Dyche to be less than what he is. If he had signed a few more unwanted players, would we be doing better than we are?

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
Is that the best you can come up with ? Do you really think the best manager we have had since Potts thinks we can make do with 3 in cm, especially after that approach has relegated us once and almost did again last season. I don't.

Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
That's true. I've just checked the squad list and we had four central midfield players to call on - Cork, Hendrick, Defour, and Westwood. Though Defour was injured for almost half the season.Devils_Advocate wrote:There was one year we had strength in depth in central midfield - we came 7th!!
Re: BFC TRANSFER NEWS (MUST CONTAIN LINK)
So now you're saying that Dyche has told the board of directors who he wants and the board won't pay? I don't believe that either. I reckon Dyche has a lot more power at this club than you think.summitclaret wrote:Is that the best you can come up with ?

I think our Board is generally risk averse but has a massive blind spot re cm and goes against it's general approach.
