Tarkowski was in Spurs’s box attacking a free kick when Son collected the ball. At no point was he between Son and our goal.

I may be mistaken but Tarkowski was the nearest man to son when he started his run......he should have put him firmly on his Ars€!!

Dyche lying about Tarky being in training today?

Look on the instagram account, the same stuff they're wearing on a diff pic was posted 21 weeks ago - duno when that was - don't care.

Either that or 21 weeks later he still hasn't had the holes in his jeans sewed up - bless him. I know what it's like, I was 7 once!

Are you searching Twitter for an Instagram account?

So I was, stupid me. Although to be fair I don't use either.

Just checked on instagram and there's no way to download the original photo to get the timestamps. Hey at least I tried

Apart from the fact there's no way Dyche would sanction such a trip during the season and a global pandemic. You have to wonder if we're lying about his injury if true. Looks like he's got an ouchie on his knee. Poor fella's torn his jeans and everything.

I think you may be using hindsight to your advantage claiming that Tarkowski should have taken Son down 90 yards from our goal when he had about 5 Burnley players between him and the ball.

west ham sounds THE most toxic of environments to go judging by the radio this morning.
simon jordan and fans bemoaning the fact they should pay burnleys asking price for an older player who isnt worth it.
one bubbleheaded clown even added "we should be above teams like Burnley" as if that was relevant.
the owners inevitably getting tons of stick, but it doesn't seem to be a nice place in any respect.

SULLIVAN ‘DEPRESSED’ BY WEST HAM TRANSFERS

David Sullivan has defended West Ham's lack of transfer activity after all but ruling out a renewed move for James Tarkowski.

Burnley have turned down two bids for centre-half Tarkowski, who turns 28 in November, and the cash-strapped Hammers are now looking elsewhere for defensive reinforcements.

"We've got two or three bids in, but the benchmark is very high,” co-owner Sullivan told talkSPORT. "We've got limited funds.

“If we had £400m to spend and someone said spend 10 per cent of it, £40m, on a 28-year-old centre-back from a Premier League club who will remain nameless, you'd probably get the player out.

“But to spend your entire budget on a 28-year-old centre-back, you're struggling. We're going to get no gate money, possibly all season. We've got to keep the club afloat and pay the wages.

"I can't go and sign two or three players the manager (David Moyes) doesn't want or we'd have a civil war at West Ham because I don't pick the players. Our manager is a manager, not a coach.

"I cannot say for sure we are going to sign anybody, and as each day passes, I get more depressed. There's no point saying otherwise. We'll go a little bit more, but we can't pay double what you value a player at. We haven't got the money; the club would go bankrupt. These are difficult times."

Think WH might be getting old feet. Sullivan was downbeat and the increased concerns that there will be no fans, further reduction in TV payments etc could scupper some big spending

And there we have reality setting in, now we know fans are likely to be out all season. We must keep Tarks now and we will finish above West Ham for starters. We can sell him for much more when a vaccine is available next year, fingers crossed.

He’s in the squad tonight irrespective of anything that might or might not happen.

Leaving aside our own need to retain Tarks I would never sell him to West Ham purely because I could not stomach the thought of that making Sullivan happier.

Chairman of a Premier League team made the following statement:

“If we had £XXm to spend and someone said spend X per cent of it, £Xm, on XXXXX from a Premier League club, you'd probably get the player out.

“But to spend your entire budget on XXXXX, you're struggling. We're going to get no gate money, possibly all season. We've got to keep the club afloat and pay the wages.

Remove the specifics about £400m, £40m and 28 years old and it could, no should, be a statement that every Chairman is making about football finances across all Premier League clubs. Maybe, Mike Garlick has already had this conversation at Burnley.

As stated above. West Ham have joined Leicester in deciding to go for Fofana instead. Neither club prepared to go to what we want.

Well, they might play him to send a signal to a potential buyer that he's only for sale at the right price?

They do scout well. Apparently he had a good game against PSG the other week. They're no slouches. Half the price of Tarks and sell on to Chelsea for double/triple.

If he's not 100 % fit why play him?

I just find it so odd that a player who didn’t miss a game last year has got a toe injury from wearing a new pair of boots. Sounds implausible to me, even without the transfer speculation.

Posted: **Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:58 am**

What I don’t like is the media whoring him out to “big” clubs all the time - “surely Man Utd should make a move for Tarkowski” or “Leicester are still to make a move for him” I keep hearing snippets whilst listening to Sky Sports news etc, they have zero respect for our club as far as I can see

Posted: **Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:06 am**

It sounds more hopeful that we might be able to hold onto Tarks this window, however in the event that he goes, it's too be hoped we've got a ready-made replacement (Dawson?) in the works, we can't afford to play Kev Long for a full PL season I'm afraid, he's wholehearted but he's just not up to this level on a regular basis.

Forest. Burnley. Worrall won’t be going anywhere in a hurry. Foot injury. 5-6 week lay off.

So not content with losing a player to injury every match this season even players mentioned in the same breath as Burnley are getting injured!
