Nixon thinks he'd get more here, yet he's chosen Bournemouth.

I'm arsed.

Agree - it’s pretty alarming to be honest.

I think our business is done.
Don't get too excited about tomorrow....
...unless a massive bid comes in for Dwight

I'm taking nowt for granted re Dwight/Everton...more of our best talent has ended up at Goodison Park than anywhere else.
Roll on 11pm tomo.

Doesn't really matter though.
He has to make what he thinks is the best choice for his future. So it's not Burnley, fair enough.

Thats offical enough. He turned us down.

Do you expect a busy day for us tomorrow CT? I would have thought if we still had "irons in the fire" the medical must have been already completed or they live close enough to get it all done in 1 day?

Be interesting to see how we play if Christie does sign. Do we go back to the 4-5-1/4-4-1-1 of the European qualification season?

Well that’s pretty much the point isn’t it. He feels his future is better with a Championship club than a Premier League club. Why is that?

Adding to that - we are offering more money too.

ClaretSteve · Post by **ClaretSteve** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:23 pm

If he’s chosen Bournemouth with less pay over us then fair play to him. Money definitely isn’t everything.

Personally I would have liked to have seen him in a Burnley top.

randomclaret2 · Post by **randomclaret2** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:24 pm

More surprising perhaps than turning us down is turning down a new contract with Celtic... to join Bournemouth

Cornet deal was over as he was off to Hertha Berlin for some.

We're Burnley not Barcelona, we can't compete with teams in lower divisions who pay their players less money than we do. It's simple.

Could be all sorts of reasons and we can't be sure it's true yet anyway.

Are Talksport and Helm the only sources for this?

Neither have proved reliable sources in the past, so just wondering.

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:28 pm

Deep down Christie might not think he can hack it in the premier league, maybe thinks championship is the same standard as the Scottish Premiership, I know plenty of people do!

ClaretSteve · Post by **ClaretSteve** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:28 pm

Anger comes next.

Just let it go, on to the next one!

LaLigaClaret · Post by **LaLigaClaret** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:34 pm

SSN only just reporting that both clubs are in discussion regarding Ryan Christie so hopefully we might still succeed but if not we still need a CM incoming as that is where we are vulnerable though another striker would have been nice.

We don't really know the detail of any deal.

Playing a no10 would be refreshing, SD has tried and failed with it a few times

You tell us Tony

, do you expect him to sign for Bournemouth?

thelaughingclaret · Post by **thelaughingclaret** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:47 pm

If a player doesn’t want to join us because he doesn’t think he is good enough to play for us then it looks like we have dogged a bullet. Fair play to him, lots of players think they are better then they but he clearly isn’t one of them. Issue for us is we have wasted all our time going after a player who never had any intention of playing for us!

Is it the same deadline for loan deals Tony? Or is there a couple of weeks extra open for those?

Decent money.

4 years at Chelsea during which he’s played 12 Premier League games (5 of them starts) plus 1 league game for us, 4 for Villa and 11 (6 starts) for Kassimpasa.

Good work if you can get it.

From what I saw, there was no work involved

Loan deals into Premier League clubs would be tomorrow. Do the Football League still have an extension re loans from Premier League clubs? I’m not sure.

For what it’s worth a Sky Sports News for Scotland just tweeted: ‘Burnley and Bournemouth are both in talks with Celtic over a potential deal for Ryan Christie.

Bournemouth appear to be leading the race, but a deal is not close at this stage.’

Sounds like we could still do some convincing.

CHRISTIE IN TALKS TO LEAVE CELTIC

Burnley and Bournemouth are both in talks with Celtic over a potential deal for attacking midfielder Ryan Christie.

Christie is a free agent on January 1st and has recently rejected a new offer from Celtic.

Bournemouth look like edging past Burnley in the race to sign the Scotland international but a deal is not close at this stage.

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:03 pm

Perhaps this is like the Hertha Berlin are favourites for Cornet saga?

Aside from Hertha never came close to matching Lyon’s valuation to have a bid accepted. Here both us and Bournemouth have agreed the fee.

Seems tomorrow will be a day for British based players moving, clubs quoting that with Brexit and COVID issues there will be no time to get all the necessary paperwork done for foreign based players.

Just saying that for quite some time, regardless of what was mentioned in the media about our better offer etc etc, they Hertha were still favourites

Not that there is any mention of this but if there was a part exchange involving Ashley Barnes I would love to watch the Old Firm derby. Thinking about it, the post match interview could be tricky given the richness of the Glasgow and Ashley's accents.

Barnes would get eaten alive in a real dogfight like the Old Firm derby.

The player Aston Villa didn’t play more often than not and who they didn’t buy with the Grealish windfall, are you sure?

Think he could well be another Drinkeater for whoever takes a punt on him, personally.

There is an absolute world beater there, maybe SD could get that out of him, I'd love to give Sean the chance with top players.
