This could end up an exodus Gibson Tarkowski, Heaton, Hart, McNeil and Barnes
How would we go about signing players if that lot went a dread to think
The only ones on your list that might move this summer are Hart for obvious reasons,and perhaps Tarks if the price is right.

What we need to do is ship out the deadwood Wells,Lennon if we can and trim the excess number of keepers we're hoarding.

Even if we choose to sell,we can now demand top dollar,Gray and Keane hardly left for a pittance did they.

I've decided not to be a worrywart this transfer window,life's too short,what will be will be,and we often do our business late on.

I'd rather we waited and got the right signings,instead of splashing the cash on a load of dross.

The important factor is our continuity and team spirit,if we keep the core of the first eleven we'll be fine,just don't expect a European challenge anytime soon.

Aye. He’ll go for £5,000,000. Our board will see all those noughts and **** their pants.

Just kidding.

I just hope we don’t value him too cheaply if someone comes calling. He’s a good player, but lacking stamina at the moment. I’m sure they will be working on this in pre-season. He needs game time to develop both his game and his value. I hope he gets it, but I worry that we will start a fit Brady. Nowt wrong with Brady, but I prefer the young lads rawness. He still hadn’t the natural attacking mindset coached out of him in favour of the tracking back defensive style we prefer. His first thought when he gets the ball os to move forward. That’s great to watch, and doesn’t really have a negative effect on our game plan.

I think it's very much McNeil's place to lose. No chance IMO that Brady will start ahead of him.

It's the first one that's been deleted for a while, and there was no bad language etc in it, so erased any doubts in my mind it could be BS.

Seems both were true, obviously wasnt top secret as I knew, the mod knew then the papers printed it too.

Let's see how he starts this season first - plenty of games last season where he was also invisible for us which was understandable but dyche kept him in as we had nothing else.

If Juve’s opening gambit is £30m it shows they are serious and of course we will be talking.
I’d expect a £30-40m fee, season loan back, international appearance bonus payment(s), Juve appearance payments, Champions League appearance bonus, and sell on clause would leave enough room for Burnley to deal should DM feel he is ready for the challenge.

Sure, I meant it's not literally made you depressed.

If my source is to be believed, as I mentioned recently, we rejected bids for Vydra from Leeds, so it's not like we're happy to sell anybody. We do realise the money we make from staying up and know that selling certain players reduces our chances of playing Premier League football.

McNeil for £30 mil just isn't worth it. He recently signed a new contract and selling him would seriously jeopardize our Premier League status.

Now, if they offered nearer £70 million, I'm sure we'd have to think twice. But people keep mentioning on how a player's value is only what the other club will offer - but a player's value has to bring into account the money we earn by staying up.

As much as we rate Mcneil he is nowhere near ready to play for Juventus in their first team.

He needs to play every week in the premier for us for at least 2 more seasons to see if he can hack it all the time esp when defenders have got used to his game.

For me this could be because there has not been much transfer talk surrounding Burnley so they got to stir something up. It’s a bit like the story of SD to Newcastle it will be someone trying to put a price on the player probably driven by greasy agents who have already destroyed the game trying to tempt clubs to bid.

For me reading through the other posts, if A big team is interested and why wouldn’t they be given his performances and inclusion into the England training camps showing Southgate believes he will become a international if he carries on his development would he want to move to say sit on a bench getting 20-30 mins max each game...

If he did sign for a big club will he get the right amount of playing time to develop at a bigger club compared to his development here. Over the years a lot of English players have shined for Burnley then moved and done not a lot possibly less pressure than the other clubs or lack of playing time look at gray and ings (granted a bad injury for ings) and guessing many more I have not listed.

Also I think 30 mill will be the starting price with a lot of add ons and sell on clauses. 1st isn’t cap 1st int goal 50 apps for club etc.....

A big club may see it as a chance to buy him and loan him back to us which for the player I am sure would be tempting.

Just my Sunday thoughts.

I wouldn't sell for 30 million. The lad looks the real deal and is a genuine, left sided midfielder, which seems rare at the top level these days.

McNeil on the flank for us, people wanting him through the middle last season or Sissoko playing in more than one position?

You'll need to narrow it down because none of it is wham.

Some people have suggested that McNeil could play in a central role. But I can't recall anyone being adamant about it. But even if played such a role he would in no way resemble Sissoko.

Well ....

You started off by saying that £30 million for McNeil was poor because Sissoko went for £30 million.

Then it was pointed out that they played in different positions.

Your response to that is that it’s a fair comparison because people have said McNeil should play in the same position Sissoko occasionally does, even though he never has.

And that’s before we get into the fact that Sissoko is a much, much better player than you seem to realise.

Wham.

This forum is hilarious at times if a comment doesn't suit the direction everyone else is going in.

So we can accept people want McNeil to play in the middle for us?

Correction - I've never said £30 million for McNeil was poor.
I stated that it was odd that Spurs may not want to spend that amount when they did on Sissoko.

Sissoko has played on the wing, but he's not used there by spurs very often, simply because he causes less aggravation in the middle for them then he does out on the wing.

Initially Sissoko was shocking for Spurs, pretty much everyone knows that and will accept it, he's still viewed nervously by some Spurs fans I know, Inc season ticket holder, but yeah he is currently better than McNeil however time is on McNeil's side.

So that's a wham score of you speaking more of it than me so far.

It's just because of the amount spent on him and the figure used for McNeil was the same.

They didn't say it was wrong to play him on the wing, you're changing the dialogue now.

People have suggested, some adamantly, that he would be a good choice as CAM, especially as Dyche hasn't wanted to use Vydra who can play there (and on the wing but let's keep that quiet).

I think keeping hold of our players is a good bit easier than signing new ones for the first team. A lot of it is down to persuading very good players to play for Burnley, which, of course, is a lot easier if they already here.

Who has been adamant about it? Adamant to me means taking a strong position on something. So in this context a strong view that he should have played in the middle instead of out wide. I rather suspect people were just suggesting it could be a very good option in the future. That's all. But in any case he's nothing like Sissoko.

I'll downgrade it to multiple suggestions then for some peace and quiet

I'll pluck another player out as well if it keeps some of you from whinging that I chose the wrong one :roll:

Any suggestions, because I'm assuming I'll need to run it past you first?

Sissoko is exactly the type of player we need, he has a good season at spurs after a shakey start.

He's a different player to McNeil so it's hard to compare.

You were trying to make Sissoko out to be some sort of shocker at 30mil, I actually think it wasn't bad business.

Don't need to run anything past me. But if you post another strange and meaningless comparison and continue to keep digging it's likely it will get highlighted. Sort of what happens on a football message board.

Fancy that - a typo or predictive text. Such a weak response.

Hope we have at least another year out of Dwight and that his value can increase further.

I wouldn’t blame him one bit for going to Juve. It’s a huge move for a very young lad, but we all know how good he is.

I personally think that we’d consider £30 million but feel its short of what he’s worth, with four years left on his contract.

Finally, Sissoko was a winger but has played almost all of the last season in central midfield. He was one of their very best players last year. The comparison is just daft.

Well McNeil certainly sees himself as a left winger, but we can always move him away from the position he seems himself as best in, I guess.

It's a massive complement to our acquisition and development teams for Dwight to be attracting such attention.
Hopefully the restructuring of the development side of things that took place previously is now starting to pay off.

He still struggles to be consistently good even now.

As for France, he's played for them 5 times since he joined spurs, probably a reflection of his poor form..
Spurs fans Hated him, now they all love him which shows the kind of season he had there, was one of the best central midfielders in the league last year. Also no idea why you’re comparing a CMs goal stats to a winger,
