Another one bites the dust.

Bargain at that price

Which if like any of our previous 4th choice strikers, will be lucky to get 90 minutes for the whole season combined.

I'm happy to ship out Vydra, as obviously something has gone on ( too much talking in the media ) and Mr Dyche doesnt fancy him.

Think he was got as Jay Rod wasnt available, now he is here, I think it'll be tatty bye.

Still certain we will bring in at least 2 more bodies.
There were murmurs we were looking at a few younger lads for the future, that would command fees.

I wouldn't be adverse to spending a few million there ( which will be easily spare ) once the first team had been taken care of.

I expect Palace will beat us to every ticked box for a player like him.

So you know he wanted to come to burnley and not London?

No I don't know that. My post was saying another of our possible links is not coming to Burnley.

Name me a player who had to choose between us and another team? .... You have to put bids in for that to happen!

The key one being Palace have deeper pockets and can pay more.

Wasn’t it reported that Colin said we’d asked Cardiff for a reference? If that’s right there was clear interest. His agent may simply have told us that he didn’t fancy it.

Am I reading too much into it by thinking he might be covering his tracks about being spotted at the Riverside to avoid speculation? Or could he simply just mean he'll be watcing on TV?

Probably no different than when Sam Vokes was seen singing Que Sera Sera at Anfield when Southampton got to Wembley.

He said that Palace had asked for a reference and that we'd enquired.

And if Neuhaus is having a medical today he's very likely going somewhere else.

And you know we havent bid for him?

Yes, £3m ..... in instalments over 10 years.

What time is the latest on thursday players can sign to be eligible to play on saturday ?

Looking like a typical burnley/Dyche transfer window then. Poor disappointment

Groundhog Day

It's Friday!!

randomclaret2 wrote:Bargain at that price

Aye it is - almost represents value in a crazy summer, but I think I saw last year that Palace had the 17th highest wage bill in the whole of Europe.

It's frustrating for everyone but he'll be wanting a 3 - more likely 4 - year deal. That's a massive commitment if you're one of the few clubs left without a 'sugar daddy' owner.

Reecey1987 wrote:What time is the latest on thursday players can sign to be eligible to play on saturday ?

5pm, I think.

It is. That’s why the transfer window closes at 5pm next Thursday. At least it’ll all be over by the time I get home from work and I won’t spend the evening watching SSN in the forlorn hope we’ll sign someone else.

So it was Adam Phillips having a medical at 10am. All’s well.

Maguire to man yoo is happening batten down the hatches

Makes a change from Arry when he was at QPR. Every player we got linked with, they were linked the next day.

creepingdeath wrote:Maguire to man yoo is happening batten down the hatches

Maguire to Man Utd
Dunk to Leicester
Webster to Brighton

From the BeeB:

Crystal Palace have joined Burnley and West Ham United in trying to sign 33-year-old England centre-back Gary Cahill, who is a free agent after leaving Chelsea.(Mail)

Hopefully. Way too late in the window to be selling someone like Tarky. We may get £50 mil, but we get more than double that if we remain in the Prem.

If 2 London teams are chasing him,i can't see him moving up North,wages would be hefty as well,plus no resale value,unless Tarks or Gibson are moving on,or indeed both,i can't see where he'd fit into our 1st 11,and at his age he'd need to be playing regularly,that's the reason he left Chelsea,he wasn't getting enough footie.

FactualFrank wrote:Hopefully. Way too late in the window to be selling someone like Tarky. We may get £50 mil, but we get more than double that if we remain in the Prem.

It would only make sense if we already have a guaranteed replacement.
I'd rather we kept him, but much like Heats, if he wants to go it would be silly to keep an unhappy player. I think Tarks is worth 50mill if Maguire is worth 85, but I cant see Leicesyer being willing to pay that.

Fee agreed with Man Utd, cue the Tarky speculation now.....

FactualFrank wrote:Hopefully. Way too late in the window to be selling someone like Tarky. We may get £50 mil, but we get more than double that if we remain in the Prem.

50 million release clause bandied about but not confirmed so we’d have no option if they triggered that

At least it gives us time to replace Tarks if he is going

Seen it somewhere today Leicester are going to offer £25 million + addons for Tarkowski sell Maguire for £80 million then try to have our pants down you have to admire their cheek

What is Cahill worth?

No, we appear to have a gap between the ages of 19-25, Taylor excepted. Does seem to require some investment

There's a reason Brighton are spending 22 million on a CB

Tell ‘em to go whistle. Unless he does have an escape clause that he wants to use. If he wants to move and doesn’t have a release clause we can play hardball for £65m, settling for £60m. Only following Leicester’s lead.

Steve1956 wrote:Seen it somewhere today Leicester are going to offer £25 million + addons for Tarkowski sell Maguire for £80 million then try to have our pants down you have to admire their cheek

If Leicester were to offer £25 million for Tarks I would hope the phone is slammed down at Turf Moor after saying come back with three times that.

In fact as Maguire is left sided Gibson may be a better option for Leicester at, say, £50 million

I saw somewhere else that if they sold Maguire they might not replace him straight away as they had 4 centre backs on their books already. Not sure if this is their plan but .......

It would be mad for Leicester not to have someone lined up to replace Maguire as every man and his dog has known that Maguire and his massive bonce were heading to Old Trafford. If we sold Tarkowski, then it would be equally mad if we didn't have someone lined up to replace him. Doesn’t take much for the average fan to make a link with Tarkowski and Leicester now Maguire has gone so surely the club will know if this is going to happen.

Yes. Just read it £85 million. That makes it £10 million more than for Van Dijk at Liverpool and proves that football is f+++ing crazy.

Maguire isn't even a world class footballer!

We've signed two players in that age group today.

Spijed wrote:Maguire isn't even a world class footballer!

Fully agree but its the premium that seems to be put on English players. Plus these clubs with foreign owners do not need to sell unless they get silly fees like this. This is where we will always struggle when keeping players. But rather have what we have than an owner who is using us for fun for a couple of years

Maguire isn't fit to lace VVD's boots.

According to some reports he didn't want to leave Spain full stop, so the bright lights of London may have been a slight inducement

Peacock Farrell, McNeil, Dunne, Koiki, Benson that we know of. This is why clubs have U23 sides now. Players are probably playing 5 years longer than they were 20 years ago meaning not as many young lads are getting a chance. Managers arent willing to risk there job on an untried youngster over an experienced pro. Too many trigger happy chairmen around.
