CLARETS CLUCAS BID REJECTED

Hull have rejected an improved £10m bid for Sam Clucas from Burnley.

Sky sources reported last week that the Tigers had rejected an initial offer for the 26-year-old's services, who is believed to want a return to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old, who missed only one Premier League game last season, signed a three-year contract with the Sky Bet Championship side last season and it is understood the club do not want to lose the midfielder.

Can't believe we bid 10m Tuesday, then again Wednesday afternoon.

Clueless

If he wants a move he has to force their hand and submit a transfer request,given he has a long-term contract we may not get this one over the line.

Our transfer policy isn't clueless.

its completely the opposite if we are being fair.

What like selling Gray before we had a replacement and then bidding for multiple targets we have not done detailed research on.

Not to mention that we clearly haven't bid the same amount in consecutive days.

Ridiculous post! What do you know about what is going on at our club? Apart from the fact we're starting our 3rd premiership season in 4 years and have the best group of players we've had in my lifetime.

How the hell can you know or say that? Of course we will have done research on potential targets.

If you think that Dyche wouldn't either do it himself or have a trusted team in place to do the research on the player and his background, I think you'd be very wrong.

I'm sure SD knows exactly what he's doing. But you cannot always land your main targets.

Does watching You Tube clips count as research?

Its all guess work really from us fans, but it does look like the final piece in our Jigsaw is still the recruitment side of things, home and abroad. Would be interested to know what budget is in place on the recruitment side.

Hahaha what a completely moronic post. You do realise that the people on this board don't sign the players and so just because we (the majority of us anyway) don't know a lot about a player and have only seen them in Youtube clips doesn't mean the club don't know anything about them.

I bet you are one of those people who shouts at actors in the streets if they happen to play a nasty character in a TV program

What a strange assumption, still it amused you ,
What does make me laugh is the vitriol from some posters when someone offers a different opinion.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 2:30 pm

I don't think anyone has a problem with a different opinion Joey, but it has to be based on something slightly more tangible than claiming that SD and the recruitment team watch youtube for research.

Im 90% sure it was Clucas who Defour took the **** out of for his goal at the Turf - if he signs I hope he reminds him of it

looks like him

This one sounds like a 31st August deal, when Hull realise they might miss out on the money. If we get him, it'll be a last day job.

Wood/Clucas are Mr Dyche' preferred options I'm lead to believe (10 mil is the bid for Clucas,but we are nowhere near the reported bid of 20 mil for Wood currently)

Defender being eyed up is Sakho at Liverpool

Dyche isn't part of the recruitment team so I've keep being told .

UpTheClaretsFCBK · Post by **UpTheClaretsFCBK** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 8:27 pm

Swansea now 11/10 on Sky bet to sign Clucas. Newcastle also higher in the running. We've dropped to 6/1.

Read into that what you will.

Hope your right about Sakho...that would be some signing,and be more than enough to keep us in this division come May,I hope this has some substance.

Sahko? He's got to be on 60k-80k a week.

No chance.

Just once, just once, let me orgasm on the thought of us signing someone like Sahko

maybe he would take a pay cut to play for the mighty Clarets.

He'd be a quality signing but we can't afford him.

Unless it's on loan with us paying a portion of the wages.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 8:49 pm

Bardsley got a slight pay rise to come here I'm told which was 40k a week at Stoke.
Jack Cork will be top earner now you would think by the clubs he has been at.

Is that likely with Bardsley considering he is likely to be a bench warmer at most and wasn't even in the squad at Chelsea?

Not a chance we're paying Bardsley anywhere near 40k a week to be a benchwarmer.

We're almost as bad as Chelsea in the transfer market.

Selling Matic with no adequate replacement and alienating Costa before they'd secured Lukaku and that from The Manager of the season.
