Doubt it would work there.
Not a chance.AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 12:28 pmI think Dyche would likely go for an older highly experienced type for Tarks initial replacement . I hope he stays but the 30m plus add ons and no doubt big salary jump will likely push this one over the line .

We don’t **** about when it comes to replacing key players. We’ll make dodgy signings as back up but not replacements. We’ve been in this position lots of times under Dyche (Think Shackell, Ings, Keane, Austin, Trippier), we’ve then go on to be more successful.summitclaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 12:56 pmThere will be sub plots, but we can do ourselves a massive favour by signing Gibson's replacement now.

To be fair though, they think he's a midfielder.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 1:25 pmThis will cheer everyone up - from WestHamFans.org - because they know the workings of our club better than anyone on here
Tarka The Offer! £33 Million Seals Deal
Submitted by nevillenixon on Thu, 10/09/2020 - 13:20
West Ham United's pursuit of James Tarkowski is going the way of many 'big ticket' deals as both parties jockey for position with offer and counter offer, and now it appears a compromise might be reached on the selling club's asking price. Mindful that Tarkowski's £50 Million release clause will not be met by ANY club, Burnley have opted for the best they can get in the current Covid-19 affected market, with prices up to 40% down compared to last year
West Ham's initial bid of £23 Million was knocked back instantly, but there was enough 'meat on the table' for Burnley to 'request' further dialogue, at this point the situation became more complex because Leicester City, flush with cash from player sales, made enquiries regarding the midfielders availability. Sean Dyche did what all good managers would do by insisting the player is a key part of his set up and that any representations would have to factor in the player's importance to the club, this 'statement' of policy was obviously designed to bump the price up, and it has!
Hammers returned with a £27 Million bid which DID get considered by the Burnley board who ultimately have control of transfers, unfortunately Leicester City spoiled the party by matching the offer, this was not what David Moyes wanted. Entering in to a bidding war for a player is the last thing he wanted, bearing in mind the 'microscopic' transfer Kitty he has available to use.
The toing and froing between all parties has continued at a relentless pace, however the break through came when West Ham's next offer proved too rich for Leicester, an offer of £30 Million was enough to 'bounce' the opposition but still not enough to convince Dyche to part with one of his most valuable assets, the Burnley board think otherwise and have made it known that they are prepared to do business.
As with all deals of this nature, the final fee including add ons and sell ons will probably get a 'UF' notice, the term undisclosed fee is commonly used in transfers because club's can legally manipulate how and when payments are made, it also ensures confidentiality and enables the buying and selling club to 'save face'.
£30 Million should have sealed the deal, but the request for a further 10% has rather complicated the issue, this hiking of the price is perfectly normal but will not help in the speedy expedition of the transfer, in other words it might drag on and on which actually will suit neither party in reality. Dyche will want to use the money from the sale to make player acquisitions as soon as poosible in order to integrate them in to his squad, and likewise David Moyes will want as much time as possible with his new player in order to integrate him in to the squad.
Further developments are all on hold waiting for the deal to either happen or not, if it does go through then you can bet your bottom dollar that Issa Diop will be on his way. Jose Mourinho is a known admirer of the French centre back however a deal with Tottenham is highly unlikely due to the bad blood between both clubs. It is worth noting that West Ham spokespeople have been very careful with their terminology regarding players available for transfer, the "Grady Diangana was sold because we had so many other players available to cover that position" statement was clearly designed to pave the way for further outgoings, so by citing a surfeit of players in one position, a similar situation is likely to evolve as happened with Grady Diangana.
The club will be able to say " Issa Diop was superfluous to the squad, because we now have enough centre backs following the arrival of James Tarkowski", and if West Ham do end up paying the £33 Million Burnley are asking for it might not just be Issa Diop who will be the sacrificial lamb because there is still a massive need for at least one additional full back, preferably two, Oh and the need for a back up striker for when Big Mich 'The Beast' Antonio picks up his inevitable hamstring injury! - Ed
Whilst Leicester are right now a more attractive side, they ain’t Spurs level (Poorest in the Top 6 but probably still uncatchable over a prolonged period). West Ham are only 2/3 good transfer windows away from them and could easily finish above them year upon year. It’s also what he wants in his personal life now, that’s often forgotten when players decide on their future.CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 1:07 pmLeicester are only in the Europa but are likely to hang around the top 8 for years - so i can see why Tarky would want to go there, with Evans ageing.

Only by the doom and gloom merchants
fair comment but why are the club saying there is a value they would accept for the player ?? because that value (even at 50m) still would not be the worth of us staying in the premiership for next 2 years ?FactualFrank wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 1:48 pmAnd you know what?
Keeping him for 2 years and him walking away for nothing, could make us more money than selling him for £30-40 million now.
Well it seems that there's a £50 million clause, meaning we have to accept it. Which is why we've put that figure on his head in terms of what we'll accept - as we don't have any say, if it's reached.

That's not going to happen and for info, should we want to recall him from Norwich it would have to be in the next window at the earliest.
That's a shame,if only Gibson had shown some professionalism & a bit of patience,Tarks would be already gone and Gibson could have shown us his worth as a premier league footballer...all ifs & buts but we are going to lose out twice by losing Tarks and our record purchase Gibson being out on loan...you couldn't make it up!ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 2:17 pmThat's not going to happen and for info, should we want to recall him from Norwich it would have to be in the next window at the earliest.
