Tom Heaton
BBC football gossip column says Aston Villa to make a 7m bid for Burnley’s unsettled goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Since when has he been unsettled, and 7m is peanuts for such a highly rated goalkeeper.

Re: Tom Heaton
Think they've already tried this and been knocked back. For Tom you'd be looking at at least 10 million up front with add ons for survival.
One of our 3 has to leave and I guess we'll see who.
I imagine, should Tom go that Hart will be our number 1 again

He's the one I'd rather we keep.
Me thinks pope had been promised something in his last contract though so it looks like Heaton will be off.

Re: Tom Heaton
IF Heaton goes then Pope has to be number 1.
Re: Tom Heaton
I would think at the very least 1 would leave, I dont think Hart or Heatin want to compete for the number 1 shirt or be 2nd or 3rd choice.
They need game time at this stage of their careers.
I cant see any being happy on the bench, and i think it would have a detrimental effect on the group.
A fresh start required for both in my opinion, and we start again with the next clutch of GK with Pope the spearhead of that.

We need to keep them both incase something happens.
If we got lumbered with Hart for 3/4 of the season, we'd be relegated.

Re: Tom Heaton
Pope is a better keeper all round than Hart. Heaton has a year left and has refused thus far to sign a new deal. He is an England international is certainly worth more than 10 mill.

Re: Tom Heaton
£10m for a keeper Burnley are getting rid of with only a year on his contract... How much DO you think we should be getting? £100m? Joe Hart came around 3-4 mil and he played a lot more England games than Heaton.

Re: Tom Heaton
Excellent another opportunity for more conjecture and speculation.
I'll start, we need to get rid of Hart because he's on £140k per week and City have stopped paying it.
Back on topic of Tom Heaton (see thread title), turned down contract offer, would be first choice at Villa with less competition so better chance of England squad. Look at it from business side of things, won't sign a contract so cash in now before he walks away next summer. Hart will probably go too so frees up wages / fees to bring in an experienced bench warmer.

Re: Tom Heaton
He isn’t on anything near that. He had 12 months left on his City contract when we signed him, so if he hadn’t signed for us then he would be out of contract at City now. Last season, we paid Hart roughly £50k a week, with City making up the rest of his wages. Now he’s just getting paid what we pay him (around £50k a week).NL Claret wrote: I'll start, we need to get rid of Hart because he's on £140k per week and City have stopped paying it.

Re: Tom Heaton
Interesting that Villa are bidding for Heaton and not Hart who also has only one year left on his deal.
I wonder if it is starting as number one or money that is stalling Tom signing a new deal with us as, according to the article, there is an offer from our club on the table?

Its obvious or he would have committed to a new deal. Pope has signed a long term agreement with most likely the assurances he will form part of the 1st team in the coming seasons if not this season.

Re: Tom Heaton
Hart is not good enough for a regular 1st team place I'm certain of that, but to have a fully fit Heaton and Pope is perhaps a luxury we have been fortunate to have had but obviously both won't be happy with that so a tricky situation really for lots of reasons.

Re: Tom Heaton
Heaton was brilliant when he came back in last year - arguably the best keeper in the league from Christmas and much better than Pickford.
I’m surprised he hasn’t signed a new contract as I thought he was really happy here but maybe he is still bitter at what happened at the start of the season.
If he does leave then so be it - he’s been the best / most important keeper we have had for many years and we got him on a free transfer. He’s been a real credit to himself and the club.
Very lucky for us we have Nick Pope who was equally brilliant for us in his first full season playing.
I don’t think any club can keep 2 keepers of this quality happy for long - due to injuries and regaining fitness etc we have managed it longer than most clubs.
Hart can definitely go for me - not because he’s done much wrong but because we could free up a lot of money in wages for another more important area of the pitch - like centre midfield.

It’s neither, it’s the length of the contract. We’ve only offered a one year extension, Tom wants three.

Villa will pull in 40k fans every week and are a far far bigger team than Burnley.
Smith seems like a decent manager and Heaton would make a massive difference to Villa with his quality and experience.
From a financial view it would also be his biggest signing on fee by a mile (he’s never gone anywhere for big money) and his wages will be better than we could offer.
As much as i’d hate to lose him it’s actually a brilliant move for him.

Re: Tom Heaton
Hart doesn't strike me as a Burnley type player. His partying and drinking excursions are widely documented. The other two seem more down to earth and a much better fit.
Re: Tom Heaton
Whatever happens, one thing for sure is we need to deal with this ASAP. After last season, we can ill afford to go into the season chopping and changing keepers again. I trust Dyche already knows his number 1 - and what with Pope signing a new long term deal and the interest in Heaton you could be forgiven to assume Tom will be leaving. He has been a fantastic signing for us but you can understand where both parties are coming from (if indeed Dyche doesn't see him as #1). It's always going to be difficult to keep three quality keepers happy, especially for a club of our size without European football etc to offer a back up. Will be interesting to see if we keep Hart as back up or try to move him on - I would think he'll stay and leave next summer.

All good points though I think Grealish’s return was pretty influential in their upturn in form. Depends on what Tom wants - if it’s big payday then fine. But the likelihood is that he’d be playing in the Championship next year with little chance of being involved in the England set-up

As for playing in the Championship personally I think Villa will be fine next year and have just as good a chance as us of staying up.
I know Fulham went down spending a fortune but I think Villa have a far better manager.
Southgate is also happy to pick keepers from the Championship - he picked the Stoke keeper last season.

Re: Tom Heaton
I think Tom's best chance of continuing England honours is to stay put - for the simple reason that if he's at Burnley and keeping Pope out of the team he's a better chance of being one of the three England keepers.TVC15 wrote:Southgate is also happy to pick keepers from the Championship - he picked the Stoke keeper last season.
If Butland gets a PL move (which has been rumoured) and Pope is starting for Burnley in Tom's absence - surely this diminishes Tom's England prospects? So any move is likely to be for ££££ reasons rather than harbouring hopes of continuing his England career - because if he decides to 'back himself' against other keepers for an England spot then this should translate to backing himself for the Burnley No.1 spot ahead of Pope...

Re: Tom Heaton
This reflects my thoughts on the issue, we're better off with Heaton as No 1 for now, and Pope as backup. Pope signing long term means that he knows the No 1 is his soon enough (either this season if Heaton doesn't perform or gets injured) and he'll keep it for years to come.Selby Claret wrote:I think Tom's best chance of continuing England honours is to stay put - for the simple reason that if he's at Burnley and keeping Pope out of the team he's a better chance of being one of the three England keepers.

If Tom wants to leave, he can go at the end of this season on a free with my blessing, but that's not my decision to make. I'd be happy with him staying too, but again that's not my decision.
Hart can go for free as far as I'm concerned...

Another simpler theory is that he goes to Villa and plays just as well as has done for Burnley and Southgate has no reason to drop him. Butland and Pope both behind him currently.
So what if money is one of the reasons or even the main reason he is going. Personally I doubt very much whether it’s the only reason - Villa have great potential. He also loves playing for England and I don’t think he would be moving if he thought it harmed his chances of playing - and I can’t see at all how it would
