The club doesn't need to announce Benson before it can move on to the next one.

I wasn't born yesterday, I do know that.

Gordaleman

Just be patient. We've already signed 9, we're pretty good at it now, and there is absolutely nothing to suggest there is a delay. Chill man. It'll happen soon. I'm chilled, and far more patient than most people. It's just that I've been a Burnley fan for 70 years now and I'm eager to get Benson an...

We have been announcing signings after 5pm. Not saying we definitely will today but that’s been the trend so far.

Maybe it's just media stuff holding it up. Let's hope so.

Do we ever 'showcase' new transfers at the manager's press conference?

As I said earlier, it's a new regime, so why not? What's the delay otherwise? Failed medical? We'll soon know, one way or the other.

Link to Kompany's press conference today, for those interested. I'm sure there'll be a few snippets on transfers.

Already posted, just above.

I can't remember the last time we unveiled a player at a press conference. It just seems to be videos on the website.

That doesn't mean it won't happen. We have a different regime in charge now. If not, why hasn't Benny already been announced? Problems with the medical maybe?

Yes, kompany pre match press conference.

But what time? No indication on the official site.

Gordaleman

Is there a press conference today? That would be the ideal chance to showcase Benson, surely?

Gordaleman

Given the very small profit made on a player who has now had a season of PL football and a decent scoring record maybe Alan has learnt his lesson and won't be including 'release clauses' in future contracts. It makes no sense to limit the possible sell-on value of a player in that fashion. Which is...

Cue the flood of 'asset stripping' messages.

Quotes now that the fee is £20 million, so obviously in instalments. Cornet yet to discuss terms though.

Its's done mate... Trust me on this

I trust the Burnley board to get the best deal for Burnley, and with so many clubs now interested, there's no rush to do a deal.

I certainly have more faith in Burnley, than in the press.

Gordaleman

Medical yesterday so you would assume that the deal is done provided the medical was fine. They won't announce it until they've got all the media stuff done though. I would doubt he'd be in contention for Luton in any case. Vitinho only signed a day or two before the Hudderfield game, and he got a ...

Cornet to West ham done deal.... Don't shoot the messenger

Don't think so. Wet Spam want a season loan and Burnley don't really want to sell, so no reason to accept ANY loan deal.

Waiting to announce it at a similar time to Cornets departure?

Hope it's before Cornet leaves, because Burnley, very cleverly have promoted a bidding war for Cornet and that move may take some time yet, if it happens at all.

So WHU would be paying him £20-30k more than we have been?

The story is that Burnley are paying him £44k and Wet Spam have offered £67k.

This medical is taking a long while.

Come on Benny, we want you available for Saturday like Vithino was last week.

Gordaleman

Doing a deal with those East end barrow boys won't be easy, they're the London old school and are as dodgy as feck I think the current Burnley Board have their heads screwed on. We've done some pretty stellar deals in this window already. Who expected us to get £20 million each for McNeil and Colli...

Gordaleman

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that the release clause is deemed void because it became public? Or did I dream it? Why would it become void if made public? If Burnley didn't want a release clause but Cornet did, then Burnley would agree to it but then make sure it leaked out. I'm pretty sure the rel...

Gordaleman

:D "Nobody will pay 17.5m as it has to be in 1 payment but they would paid 35m spread out" No, you didn't read what I wrote. I said if the release clause was £25 million they might. (Because he's worth at least £25 million.) Anyway, let's agree to disagree. This is a discussion, not an argument and...

Gordaleman

Given we've struggled to get anyone to meet the release clause (we don't even know if West Ham have met it yet), I strongly suspect we would not be looking at a higher fee. That's just not the case. Most transfers go through on the 'Never never'. Very few clubs stump up the who fee in one go, even ...

How do you work that out ?

Try reading the original posts and look at the context. If it wasn't for his release clause we'd be looking at a far higher fee.

Sky reporting Max is a loan
Probably an error, as we need the cash agreed not loaning him out

They are saying that that's what Wet Spam want, not Burnley.

I'm still hoping no-one divvies up and he stays. After all, I have a shirt with his name and number on it.

Watching that highlights reel shows me where his weakness lies… he doesn’t do tap ins… every goal was a worldly

Spot on. It's criminal that if someone pays cash, we have to let him go for £17.5 million.

Just a reminder, if anyone needs one, as to just what we'll be missing when Cornet leaves.

A quick striker would be dynamite in that system. Harsh to say it because Barnes was superb tonight.

Let's give Vyds a new contract then. He'd be perfect.

Keep an eye on Bastion. I think he's going to be a bit special.

Why on Earth would Sean go to Derby? It's a car crash waiting to happen. Surely if Rooney couldn't put up with the mess any more, then Sean won't want to go near it either?

Gordaleman

The suggestion is the fee is 15m including some add ons. That seems about right for a keeper of his age. Perhaps it would have been slightly higher had there been more than one club bidding. Goalkeepers stick around a lot longer than outfield players, so I think even £15 million is very low. Severa...

I've seen it mentioned that it could be a permanent deal

No wonder we are selling Pope so cheaply then. 8 to 10 million? That's ridiculous.

Gordaleman

This link to Taylor Harwood-Bellis on loan from City seems to go very much against VCs statement that he regards loans as a last resort. Maybe he's thinking of a permanent deal? (Tongue, very much in cheek.)

Burnley Express suggesting the VKs appointment will be soon is easy. Purely because it has to be soon with such a short close season.

I think Kompany would be great. He certainly knows how to win and with his connections to City, he might be able to bring in a few players from there. (On loan at least.)

Meanwhile, I belive that the 'Horse botherers' are looking to bring in Klopp's younger brother, Klipperty.

So I guess you don't have an alternate answer to how this 65m is going to be repaid then other than a firesale.

There's no certainty yet that it will have to be repaid, at least, not all of it. Parachute payment will probably cover most of it, so I can't see a 'Firesale' being needed.
