Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
I still think Stuart Armstrong could be a better shout for some of our transfer money, in respect to his creative passing and his ability to play as an energetic attacking midfielder who drops back to bolster our central midfield. I wouldn't say that he is the most technically gifted player, the typ...

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets make move for West Brom pair
Jay and Dawson are quality players that would add to our team. We could possibly do better for the money, and easily do a lot worse, but taking everything into account they would be respectable buys for £25m that would improve us. If I had to leave one behind it would be Jay, even though he is the m...
