Hi All,

I know I tried this in Summer and it was a marmite thread, and despite being clear it still descended in to the usual trash talk. A few links are starting to appear, so in an effort to try and separate the wheat from the chaff, so we have a go to section for those who have minimal time while at work to catch up with all things BFC related, and use this forum as the go to source of information, can we please keep this thread clean and concise, Mods delete if you feel not required, no problem.

Lazy journalism to the letter, and not the best site to look at, but some interesting stats around Ben Pearson, and his name just keeps getting linked to us.

Strangely we have never actually said we’ve signed him but it’s five weeks since the club used quotes from him confirming he’s here for the season. Was reported on this site.

I personally think we need another target man type of striker. The absence of Wood to me highlighted the fact that Barnes, and to a lesser extent Jay and Vids are no where near as affective without Wood alongside them. Wood is a vital cog in the way we play, at both ends of the pitch.

I can see a last minute deadline day extension of Drinkwater’s loan when Chelsea confirm they don’t want him back and we have exhausted everything else and found it’s too expensive.

Or we could try and mix up our style a bit so we aren't as reliant on hoofball?

Interview that Dyche did on him with the Sun recently was almost like a "come and buy him" ad

I'd be surprised because it would probably send us down. Waiting until the summer (or selling and the buying club loaning him back to us) is the worst I can see. Nobody would be that foolish to sell him in January as we won't be able to replace him.

I think Leicester would be a good move for Tarks. Jonny Evans has always been very injury prone and its highly likely they'll be playing European football next season so plenty of games even if he wasn't first choice.
Gibson just needs to play regular football somewhere, even if it's for a team struggling in the Championship.

I don't ever recall Bowen being linked with us. Britton was recently but he doesn't get a regular game at Celtic. Surprised he's signed that deal with them.

Watched them against Fulham on Sky the other week, he stood out only for the reason he should have had 2 red cards. Averages a yellow card every 1.5 games the commentator said. Wouldn't last 5 minutes in the PL.

We have played most of the season with two poor full backs and a patchy Ben Mee, and you want to sell Tarky?

He said that Bournemouth were just as big a club as us but splashed more cash about today.

I don't know what sort of message he wants to get out, but he always comes across as negative these days.

every player has a price, if they meet the alleged clause in his contract it wont matter what any of us think. 50 million is a very fair price for him though, once we pay Brentford their sell on fee we will still be left with a reasonable amount to improve the squad. Defenders are the easiest players to replace in any team, always have been and always will be. He isn't Maldini on Van Dijk

If we did sell Tarkowski for £50m, and assuming Brentford get a cut between 10 and 25 percent, we'd have less to spend than his current value. Wouldn't this represent a down-grade.
Southampton have sold some good players, look at them now.
