He is not suddenly going to improve over the course of the next season to become a Premier League player. Meanwhile I assume Vydra is still waiting on the platform for his train to arrive.

BFC is like a station from which there are only departures.

Hopefully...

Cleveleys_claret wrote:I wouldnt be happy as a fan if we had spent 20 million plus on him when he doesnt create chances or score goals. Likewise 20 million plus on Solanke, a striker that cant score. The two spaniard full backs that cost between them 35 million and have the sum of about 5 starts in the league last season between them. Nathaniel Clyne being paid 100k plus a week last season to basically get ripped a new one by McNeil and then not be seen again all season.

Happy how we are. Lets put the faith in the coaches and the plan we have in place. Who knows we may be discussing Benson being worth 40 million plus next pre season. Because like the above Bournemouth players he has been signed for his potential. The cost is irrelevant. A price tag doesnt guarantee a player is going to make it

jrgbfc wrote:His contacts up at the end of the season though. As someone else has pointed out why not take a small fee for him off Swansea and get him off the wage bill now? Him and Vydra are probably on about 50 grand a week between them. For a supposedly prudent club we don't half waste some money!

dsr wrote:Yes, obviously. But how good a midfielder would he need to be, to make the side better in spite of Lennon replacing McNeil on the wing?

They will know the budgets that the club have set for signings so we should not even bother looking at players it's said "we cannot afford"
We have known the restricted financial parameters that have been placed by Mr Garlick for some years now but still come up with the mantra "it's been a difficult market"
Then why don't they shop elsewhere - other clubs seem to be able to do so
There are a number of people within the club who are being paid to identify better players and apparently achieving little success

All good fun though and keeps the board busy and entertaining IMO.

The problem with your post are the words "potentially" and "initial enquiry" which seems to suggest that no firm offer has been made and that other clubs could also be interested in taking the player.

I think they have performed such duties given we are just about to go into a fourth successive season in the Premier League and a fifth in six seasons. Of course we will come up with the 'difficult market' mantra because anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that.

You want us to shop elsewhere, maybe players good enough to take us down a couple of divisions perhaps? There are a number of people within the club who are being paid to identify better players and doing so with some amazing success, otherwise we wouldn't be in this league.

Your only problems seem to be failing to understand our club and having no realistic ideas on how difficult it is for us in this league. Dyche often says our supporters understand, your comments suggest that's not the case.
