My mobile hangs up after 2 hours, regardless. I assume it's for reasons such as this. Not sure if it's a mobile feature or Three Mobile.

Someone posted that BFS has ruled out going for Brady - yet they are still second favourite.

Maybe BFS is trying to get the odds on Palace to lengthen before putting bet on and then putting a bid in that blows us out of the water...

Have we got any LBs on here who will turn out for Norwich this w/end? I'd offer, but at 63 I'm not sure I'd pass their medical.

Brady breaks his leg and misses out on a pay rise and a move to the Premier League, Norwich miss out on £13-14m.

Somehow I can't see it - if Brady is playing tomorrow, he won't be coming to Burnley, I believe that.

This was years ago Frank. Sure it wouldn't happen now. They also refused to refund me, despite my argument of why would I listen to the same recording repeating itself all night!

If Norwich are putting it on hold, then we need to try and sign somebody else instead. If we manage to get someone else, we can then be the club to pull the plug.

Where has it been confirmed that we have actually made a bid and that a bid has been accepted by Norwich?

If Brady turns out for Norwich then he will likely see out the season with them especially if they cannot source a replacement left sided player.

Then 4 becomes 2.

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:31 pm

Suspect Sunderland may come back in for him now they have lost their most important LB.

We need to somehow put enough pressure on Norwich to get this over the line today.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:32 pm

Norwich have been knocked back in two moves for LBs this week, but even so.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:33 pm

So Norwich are waiting to bring a left back in, but a deal will go ahead. But what if Norwich don't bring a left back in?

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:34 pm

Agree that we need to put pressure on, this situation could leave us with our pants down on deadline day and we've been there before.

Sad to say I concur, we cannot afford for Norwich to mess us about, it's deadline on Monday as far as I am concerned because of the match on Tuesday. We need a winger, sorry to say but we need to move on if that is how they are deciding to play this - the risk is too great if Brady was to get injured/Norwich were to change their mind and we had nothing to fall back on.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:35 pm

On the betting front I note that none of the bookies are quoting odds for Brady still to be at Norwich after the window closes.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:35 pm

Brady should refuse to play for them and force the deal through like others do these days.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:35 pm

We may or may not lose him to someone else BUT I really can't see him going to Sunderland. No money there, almost certs to go down, wouldn't be a good move for Brady for yet another relegation on his CV. I do fear we're going to be messed around though...

IAmAClaret · Post by **IAmAClaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:36 pm

He was in Burnley yesterday. That in it's own right suggests he wants to come, and it is Norwich who are taking the proverbial.

They have no other LB, and looks like they need the money from us to get another in. The difficulty is that they know we are not likely to walk away.

I'm gutted now, we should have signed this guy, if only for having the best name for a pacey winger possible.

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:39 pm

All smoke and mirrors.

Norwich leak that they're going to play him to put the pressure on Burnley to up their bid to get the deal done. BFC just now need to leak that they're bidding for other left wingers (again a la Snodgrass) to put the ball back in Norwich's court.

I agree if he plays tomorrow, it would seem unlikely that he's coming to BFC. They'd be stupid to risk over £10 million just for the sake of they couldn't find another player to play at LB tomorrow, unless they were planning on keeping him.

Well exclaret has left because he promised Snodgrass would be announced by noon today.

I'm still here though and I maintain that he'll be a Burnley player by the time we play Leicester.

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:43 pm

Calm down everybody.

For Norwich to play Brady would be idiotic.

If any deal to bring in a new left back is solely reliant on the sale of Brady then surely you complete that deal ASAP whether or not you have that player signed.

Look at it this way, Brady plays tomorrow, gets injured, Norwich have no left back and no money to replace him with.

At this late stage I am sure Norwich will be thinking they can manage one game, tomorrow, without Brady for the long term good.

Not if he gets badly injured playing for Norwich tomorrow.

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:44 pm

If he wants the move he should refuse to play for them. It's a million ppund pay day for him can't see him wanting to miss it. It will be Norwich being the pain in the ass here!

TVC15 · Post by **TVC15** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:46 pm

Don`t believe Norwich would be that stupid to risk the whole deal collapsing - and I hope we would not be that stupid to allow him to play tomorrow and risk injury.

Brady can play left back but he is not a left back - they must have someone in their squad who can play left back for one game.

I know as fans we do not see all the intricacies of the deal but this issue is pretty black and white to me

....Brady can`t play tomorrow or the deal is off (you bunch of 7 fingered sister sh@gging in-breds !!) - maybe leave off the last bit and show a bit of class

Walt · Post by **Walt** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:47 pm

If there is any hint of a delay that risks the deal then surely we have learnt from the lansbury saga and other deals that have been pulled at the 11th hour.

Other deals must be explored now. If we are constantly looking as Dyche says then we must have numerous targets. Not ideal if we can't land one of our main targets but it would be better than being left high and dry.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:53 pm

I think I'd be on the phone to Norwich saying that our bid is either accepted now or it isn't.

Far, far from ideal, but it does give us another 48 hours to try to source other players who might want to come.

Is it just us that gets dicked about like this? I'm sure it's not but it certainly does feel like it. It seems to be every club we try to do a deal with i.e. Forest, Derby, Brighton and now the carrot crunchers.

Royboyclaret · Post by **Royboyclaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 1:08 pm

"Far, far from ideal, but it does give us another 48 hours to try to source other players who might want to come."

Probably a sensible approach now, especially if Norwich are digging their heels in.

You have to wonder just how much Brady really wants the move. A fundamental mistake many are making on this thread is that he will miss out on a 'pay-rise' or a 'million pound pay day', both of which are unlikely to be true. Norwich City's wage bill dwarfs ours and their senior pro's will be earning more than ours , so more likely he prefers the prospect of playing PL football for a while with us.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 1:12 pm

Seems to be a lot of folk hanging onto Jason O'Connors every tweet without the foggiest idea who he is and how he'd know so much about Irish footballers.

He appears to be employed as a video analyst for the Professional Football Scouts Association. I'm not sure having a junior job within the PFSA would provide an inside track in itself (nor simply being Irish).

Trawling back through his tweets, I'm not sure he's said a great deal that couldn't be interpreted by reading media articles. There's a fair bit of hedging his bets going on too.

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 1:18 pm

And to prove the point, I posted this on Wednesday AM on the Snodgrass thread without the benefit of inside info:

agreenwood wrote:I'm confident that Snodgrass WON'T be signing. He'll go to another Prem club.

It'll be part of the Brady-related shenanigans. Us and Hull probably doing each other amurial favour to put pressure on elsewhere.

It took O'Connor until last night to suggest our Snodgrass bid may have been a ruse.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 1:24 pm

I thought we'd had a bid accepted. Surely it's then a case of agreeing terms with Brady and him signing on the dotted line? If Norwich are indeed messing us about waiting until the last day then that suggests to me that they're not completely confident that they'll bring in the left back that they need.

As such, I'd move on to another target. We have had too much experience of this from clubs in recent transfer windows (Forest and West Brom coming to mind). I'd give them until the end of the day with the ultimatum that we'll pull out if the move isn't sanctioned.

All of this is purely speculation though - it's hard to know what to believe.

Marlonspants · Post by **Marlonspants** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 1:27 pm

Not so easy to pull out if you don't have a plan B, C or even D.

The truth is nobody knows what's going on. It is what it is.
