Everyone it seems apart from the board and management at Burnley Football Club. I mean it's not as if we are going to get caught out by not strengthening the midfield and then suffering injuries when we are unable to sign a player, is it? You know, like when we failed to sign a back up for Marney, who was injured the very next game and led to Arfield trying to fill his position. And we can all remember how that season ended.....buzzclarets79 wrote: Surely this must free up wages for that CM that everyone knows we need

You're saying that players don't want improved contracts if other players are paid a lot more.Dyched wrote:That's different though.
Had Terry/Lampard signed a contract as the wild spending started a contract which then changed as more and more world class players were signing makes sense.
If that was the case we'd still be giving the likes of Ben Mee £20k a week.

Re: Heats
Should have kept his place according to the ones I've asked, many who go on every home game. He's only young so could easily be another player on the conveyor belt. Only one friendly left though if he signs in time would hope he gets a chance.rob63 wrote:He's the Joe Hart of Elland Rd according to which Leeds fan you listen to, apparently!

Re: Heats
If you think that Wells, Vydra, McNeil have the same status at the club as Heaton, then think again. A fair comparison would be that if Heaton gets a disproportionate pay rise, then Mee, Tarkowski, Barnes would be knocking at the manager's door demanding the same.Dyched wrote:Doesn't work like that.

I'm talking about this Tom Heaton situation. He's a massive player for us. In the bracket of players like Aguero, Pogba, Salah, Kane are for their clubs.
What I'm saying is clubs offering huge wages to get those players to stay will NOT start other players demanding the same. That does not happen.
Obviously lesser players getting big wages will. Or if a club starts buying world class players.
An example of that is Man Utd in the early 2000's. The likes of Veron coming in of course Keane, Giggs, Beckham etc would want the same. But Chadwick wouldn't demand the same as those because that would be stupid.

Re: Heats
Is Heaton worth £200k per week which is essentially what he will cost us if we turned down £8m and let him run out his contract out. When you add the fact that we have a Goalkeeper of Pope's quality to come in plus a player of Harts experience and quality to be backup then in my opinion that £200k weekly wage could be much better spent by adding a couple of quality outfield players with probably money left over to invest in a good young player or two

Re: Heats
Leeds were top with BPF in goal - they then signed Casilla in January - dropped BPF, finished third and lost in the play offs (losing 10 out of their last 22)

If, for example using random numbers, Burnley's senior players are told that this year's cap is £40k per week and no-one's getting more than that and new signings aren't getting more than that. So Heaton, Pope, Mee, Tarkowski, Westwood, Cork, Wood, Barnes, possibly one or two of the others as well, are on much of a muchness at £40k. And then Heaton is suddenly offered £60k. Do you say that none of the other top players would want any more? You don't think the abolition of the informal cap would upset anyone?

Look at what Tom has achieved here, look at the length he's been here, look at his contribution in games alone.
Those players cant bang in Sean's door, however when it comes to say Mee wanting a new deal, he can argue he deserves the same as the previous guy who's been "offered what he wanted" also any incoming players might think "I want what hes on".
We have a ceiling for a reason, no one goes above it. If you want more whilst here or ask for more before getting here, you wont be signing a deal.
In a similar tone, how would your boss react if you said I want the most wages in the company or I'm off.

Re: Heats
Losing Heaton isn't ideal but probably the right thing to do. Allowing him to go to Villa is absolutely mad.
Its conceivable that he makes saves which keep them up. It's conceivable that they stay up at our expense. For that reason alone we should refuse to sell him. If that makes him unhappy so be it. The risks are huge.
If it was to a mid table team or abroad I'd have no qualms. But why are we selling him to a relegation rival when we don't have to.
I have faith in Dyche and its not the first time I've questioned this kind of decision but I'm really struggling with this one.

Re: Heats
If we were to lose one player from our main defenders I’m glad Tom was the sacrificial lamb, given his age, his contract situation and the fact that he has a very capable and much younger understudy who might well have been first choice anyway.

If a club has a wage cap that possibly 10 players are at then they've given themselves massive problems.
I'd hope the club only offer 80/85% of what the actual cap is.
Mee aside those listed haven't achieved anyway near what Tom has here, plus the little fact he's club captain and made such a monumental impact last season.

Burnley do have massive problems. We're competing in a league where money is all and we're doing it with less money than anyone else playing. It's a massive problem that the current management have been able to solve so far, and I think the best way to keep solving the problems is to let the current management carry on the way they are.Dyched wrote:If a club has a wage cap that possibly 10 players are at then they've given themselves massive problems.

Most of those listed are crucial players who have either recently signed or will soon be due for a new contract. Even if they're only on 85% of the cap, then when the cap goes up, so does 85% of it. Break the cap for one, and there will be a knock-on effect.

Re: Heats
My only concern in all of this, is the suggestions within this thread that maybe we need the £8m to free up the purse strings for a midfielder. That simply cannot be right but if it was then serious questions need asking about the club.
For me it is thanks Tom, but we have a lad that got us to 7th in the Premier League and a bloke with 70 plus England caps as well as the chance, it seems, to sign an up and coming international keeper for Bill Mercer to work with.
Can't see the problem with any of that myself.

But if he wasn't going to sign a contract what can the club really do.
Time will tell. Who'd have thought when we signed him we would have Joe Hart and an England squad goalkeeper and still be disappointed to see him go.

You can't use the words by someone on here as though they are from the club. Dyche has repeatedly said we don't have to sell anyone.

Pay rise / big signing on fee (he’s never had one in his career to date)
Better and longer contract than we offered
New challenge
Playing in front of 40k fans
And maybe stuff that happened last season where he feels let down by Dyche.
He’s been the best goalkeeper we’ve ever had in my lifetime and one of my favourite players ever.
But Trippier was my favourite and he left
Danny Ings was brilliant - he left.
