I think Tarks will go for £40 million including add-ons.

I'll be sad to see him go, but every player has their price. It's a good idea to include a player swap to reduce how much we pay Brentford.

To get the 1000 reply I'll answer my own question. Yes we did. And we were all right weren't we

People need to remember it is Tarkowski’s career. At the end of the day, if a player feels they want to move up, then you can’t really stop them.

It’s probably best time for Burnley to sell before his contract runs down. £40million should give the Club funds to sign 2 or 3 players.

You know that CT isn't a physio, don't you?

Deadline day is 5th October btw.

Not if he plays tomorrow, no.

Well considering this sort of post does nothing for this board ..... it’s been quite a busy one.

Interesting that he didn’t play after this started then suddenly got a toe injury too ...... now he’s also interested in going to Leicester.

You're not allowed to break news on here before those who think they're in the know! Surprised the thread wasn't closed.

This from someone who had just posted that they KNOW that he isn't injured, with no proof to back it up.

Are you doing a Wellsy

My mate is a season ticket holder at Leicester, and has a thai wife who has been intimate with the owner.

She said The last offer was £40m but the deals off because Tarks has athletes foot

DEMARAI GRAY wants to quit Leicester because of his bit-part role – and Tottenham are keen to take him, according to reports. Can rule him out as any part of deal

I think a lot of people on here have misunderstood the £50m release clause. When Tarks signed his last contract there was an agreement included that if an offer of £50m was made by Liverpool or either of the Manchester clubs then it would be automatically accepted. It doesn't go any further than that.

It doesn't mean that any bids under £50m should be rejected, it doesn't mean he's "worth" £50m and it doesn't mean it would be a bad deal for us if we sold him for less than £50m.

Given that none of those clubs seem to want to sign him and that no club is going to offer £50m for him, it is little more than a red herring in whatever is or isn't happening with him.

Players will always come and go, and this is the fact of Burnley FC, its happened for years now. Yes to see Tarks leave will be a sad day but he'll move on for a lot more than the 3.5 mill we spent to get him here, that is the business model we have to use to compete in this league.
Personally I think Dunne would come on leaps and bounds playing next to Mee, every other CB we had has (Keane,Tarks,Long). Mee is the organiser and Dunne would learn lots from him, be more gutted about losing Mee TBH, he is Burnley through and through now.

All true..... But Mee isn't fit, and we don't know when he will be.

I think SD is hoping that most players will be fit after the international break.

I more convinced than ever that the rumours are all made up after reading this.

History shows you should take what SD says about injury returns with a pinch of salt.

40 m is good business for a player bought for 3.5 after providing very good service. Has a Burnley buy & sell written all over it.
Onwards & upwards

It is the business model we should be following, but this time we have messed up because we have not had the next cab off the rank ready, so to speak. Neither Dunne nor Thomas has ever played alongside Mee in a competitive game yet.

Someone should have been brought in by now to replace Gibson.

We can't risk Dunne as a season long starter. He would benefit from a loan in the Championship.

20 million will get you Simon Deli from Bruges (but don’t say you heard it from me)

Said it for a few weeks now 35-49m cash will get him.

If it sllows us to buy 3 or 4 players, rebuild the squad and break even or better with Ll this covid uncertainty, then it's a good deal for Burnley.

It is also the prime time to sell as we would be lucky to get even 15-20m next summer.

Thanks Tarky, good luck in the future.
Your performances and subsequent transfer fee has helped prolong our premier league stay, and secured at least our short term future financially.

And that would leave us with £10million left over if the cut to Brentford is 27.5%
if Tarks goes for £40million
Get Dawson for £5-10 million and the surplus would be £15-20 million.
I suppose it is a judgement call on SD as to how good Thomas and Dunne will become

Tarky will hate it at Leicester.. Full of foreign players, banter nothing like our dressing room. The 100k a week might help a little I suppose!!! He needs to dump that interfering stupid bird of his and stay with the mightly clarets...

You have to hand it to Brentford with their transfer dealings, a whopping 27,5% Sell On fee negotiated for Tarks but just a 15% Sell On fee for Ollie Watkins.

Althought the fee theyve got for Watkins is considerably higher than we paid for Tarkowski

https://www.wtfoot.com/player/james-tarkowski/

He’s only worth £12m

Yep, that’s the difference. 10x more or something daft.

Personally don’t have any issue with us offering high sell-on clauses and think we should structure deals that way given our cash constraints!

The Clarets are winless in each of the last 18 Premier League fixtures that James Tarkowski has missed, losing 10 of those matches.

We need to do something about that today.

Would like to know when Mee is going to be back ready for the first team. Would feel a lot more confident with him around to support whoever steps into Tarky's spot.

Thats exactly why the muted £35-£40m some would accept is far too low. You have to consider the cost of relegation when assessing players values.

Knowing he was second choice behind Wesley Fofana and being ridiculed and given a nickname by Vardy.

Who were they against and at what point of the season?

I’ll be glad when he’s finally gone. Not that I want him to go, he’s a great player and one of my favourites - especially since learning his shithousery skills from Barnes. But the thing is, he wants what’s best for him and that’s playing at the highest level possible, I wish him well, and now want him gone so we can move on.

If he stays, we lose an awful amount of cash and there’s still no guarantee of staying in the Premier League. If he goes, we get good money and we trust our system to shape the next big CB at the club.

TBH I can't remember him missing that many games.
They could be including League Cup games, but that would be wrong anyhow. ?

But if he goes to Leicester he would be able to give Vardy a few whacks in training.

I just hope we haven't left Tarkowski out of the matches just to protect him from any injury.

I'd rather pick up points now and see him go for far less next season if it means us stopping up.

Don't be surprised if he plays tonight. I'm not sure he's going anywhere until at least January.

But then I'm an optimist.

I will certainly be surprised if he plays tonight.

Pleasantly surprised.
