Tark - transfer

[warksclaret]

"Had the Sheff Utd game been a PL game he would have started". Some quote. This is taking the p..ss out of Burnley fans and they deserve more

[Firthy]

Makes the Gibson saga look even more ridiculous.

[claretandy]

Dyche should have told the truth and hung him out to dry, I would have had more respect for him.

No one comes out of this with any credit

Who said that?

[Burnley Ace]

Where is Tarkowski - he’s dammed by his silence!

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Do we really know for sure that Dawson is any better than either Kevin Long or Jimmy Dunne?
he's not been too bad, but relegated twice and loaned out to lower league clubs twice now.

Is a generally first choice CB better than our long term 4th choice and a lad from our U-23's...

[NewClaret]

Think positive. We haven't lost to Southampton in the last seven PL games.

Shhhhh! Don’t jinx us!!!

[Boss Hogg]

A toe doesn’t take this long to heal. He must be off. We are just waiting for the highest bid.

[Gordaleman]

You don't know what's wrong with his toe. I've had some very sore ones in my time.

OK, maybe he's leaving, but until it happens it's nothing more than pointless speculation.

[Steddyman]

He's leaving for sure. Sean is just giving an excuse we can back down from should he not sell.

[Murger]

You don't half come out with some BS.

[Gordaleman]

You don't half come out with some BS.

If you say so. Couldn't care less what you think.

[Gordaleman]

Danny Ings scores. Bloody Hell.

[Murger]

If you say so. Couldn't care less what you think.

I'm glad.

Dereliction of duty, hes no doubt played thru worse...leaves a very bitter taste.

[FactualFrank]

It's going to cost us a lot of points.

[Boss Hogg]

So pointless you felt the need to comment.

[Gordaleman]

So pointless you felt the need to comment.

I just believe in facts, not fantasy.

[Gordaleman]

Dereliction of duty, hes no doubt played thru worse...leaves a very bitter taste.

Will you apologise to him if he plays next week? Thought not.

[Blackburn_Claret]

Will you apologise to him if he plays next week? Thought not.

He was playing against Millwall according to those in the know on here

[Stevie Morgan]

Will you apologise to him if he plays next week? Thought not.

You're embarrassing yourself

[Gordaleman]

He was playing against Millwall according to those in the know on here

You're making my point for me. The people on here DON'T know. They are guesssing, just like you.

[ewanrob]

If I'm wrong i will gladly hold up my hand, issue is this lad has form with this sort of thing.

[taio]

How do you know the club hasn't made a decision he won't play given there are active transfer discussions?

[Boss Hogg]

Don’t feed the troll.

[box_of_frogs]

Will you apologise to him if he plays next week? Thought not.

I will. Feel free to remind me. The fact is (as already pointed out), is that Tarky has form for this sort of thing. And the embarrassing “toe injury” story just doesn’t add up.

[box_of_frogs]

How do you know the club hasn't made a decision he won't play given there are active transfer discussions?

Fine. But don’t come up with crap lies about toe injuries.

[Gordaleman]

I will. Feel free to remind me. The fact is (as already pointed out), is that Tarky has form for this sort of thing. And the embarrassing “toe injury” story just doesn’t add up.

Oh, so now just because you believe he's on his way, he's now a serial offender as well.

I'd love to know where you get your info from, I really would. Or is it like a few others on here, total guesswork?

What's the odds? If he stays he'll be one of your heroes again.

[Tall Paul]

He was spotted in Leicester yesterday apparently.

Don't know if he was favouring his toe or not.

[taio]

Fine. But don’t come up with crap lies about toe injuries.

It was in response to anyone with a clear and certain view it's Tarkowski refusing to play.

Protecting the asset during active transfer discussions and saying the player has a knock is commonplace.

[box_of_frogs]

I'd love to know where you get your info from, I really would. Or is it like a few others on here, total guesswork?

The fact that he refused to play for Brentford? Or don’t you remember that?

Yes, I’m guessing he isn’t injured. But the ‘form’ bit is factual.

[boatshed bill]

This wouldn't surprise me at all.

[FactualFrank]

About to sign for Leicester apparently although unsure on sources.

[Gordaleman]

Of course I remember what happened at Brentford but you are now suggesting he's doing it again for which you haven't got a scrap of evidence.

[Zlatan]

Of course I remember what happened at Brentford but you are now suggesting he's doing it again for which you haven't got a scrap of evidence.

Apart from what we already know...

[box_of_frogs]

No, I’m suggesting he has form for this.

[Gordaleman]

Apart from what we already know...

And what's that?

[Gordaleman]

No, I’m suggesting he has form for this.

You clearly suggested he was doing it again, for which you have no evidence at all.

[Zlatan]

And what's that?

The fact that his toe issue has lasted significantly longer than 99.9% of toe issues for anyone else

[Gordaleman]

The fact that his toe issue has lasted significantly longer than 99.9% of toe issues for anyone else

And that means he's on strike for a transfer? Glad you're not a defence lawyer.

[Zlatan]

You’re funny, I like you. But you’re also very wrong. His toe is fine, he’s leaving us. I don’t blame him, it’s all smoke and mirrors though, and it doesn’t need to be.

[box_of_frogs]

You clearly suggested he was doing it again, for which you have no evidence at all.

Of course I have no evidence you pedantic old man. I merely and factually said he has form for this. Whether he is doing it again, whether the club are protecting him, or whether he’s actually injured, the last fact is still true.

Don’t bother replying. I won’t be arsed to respond.

[Gordaleman]

He may well be leaving, I just don't know. My point is the fact that no one else on this board knows either. They are guessing and vilifying one of our best players without any evidence at all that they are right.

You can't wriggle out that easy. You clearly suggested he was on strike AGAIN, yet you haven't an ounce of evidence.

[TVC15]

And that means he's on strike for a transfer? Glad you're not a defence lawyer.

What ?
There’s more than a hint of suspicion here and nobody knows either way.
What I do know is he played against Martimo in the friendly and we have not seen him since.
Unless he broke his big toe - which would have been reported I’m guessing and meant around 6 weeks out I’m not convinced that this is a genuine injury that would have kept him out for this length of time.

No I don’t have any evidence of this and I’m guessing you have no evidence either that he is injured. It’s certainly not the wildest of speculations to suggest all is not as it seems.

Wasn’t Stephens supposed to be injured for Brighton last week and he’s fit and playing this week ? It happens regularly.

[Zlatan]

He may well be leaving, I just don't know. My point is the fact that no one else on this board knows either. They are guessing and vilifying one of our best players without any evidence at all that they are right.

I’m not vilifying him, I just wish it wasn’t smoke and mirrors. I understand why, but it doesn’t need to be like that. It is possible to be honest and just say he’s not in the right frame of mind because of the speculation, or we don’t want to play him and risk losing £40M+. Like I said I understand why, just wish it wasn’t the case.

[Blackburn_Claret]

Hes done it before he'll do it again

[ewanrob]

No point in this getting personal , we all have differing views....but to deny he hasn't got form would be a tad to trusting. The lad deserves to be playing top six, but I'd like him to show some respect to those who put him there and those that applauded him off week in week out.
