Seems more a case of when, rather than if, of Berge going to Man Utd now. It will test our resolve over fee-I hope we play hard ball as they obviously want him. Much as I like Berge I am as surprised they have targetted him, as I was of Bayern Munich targetting VK

All I have been told is that he isn't their first choice and they will only finalise if their other targets fall through but he understandably is happy to wait and see what happens.

Which makes him a better man than me.

Waiting! Hope that puts the price up

[Wokingclaret]

As it no doubt affecting the player

If what you have been told is true then it actually probably works in our favour a little bit because Berge seems the type that isn’t pushing for a move and down tooling but obviously it will be on his mind. If he is waiting for united then hopefully that means there’s no other clubs he will go to so that if United get their first choice target then he will stay.

If Berge goes to united then it’s a good advert that even in one of the worst seasons in our prem history, you can stand out and get a move to one of the biggest clubs in the world, abit like kompany to Bayern.

Haven’t seen his name mentioned in a while now but does anyone know anything about JBL potentially returning? Can see he’s played in a few friendlies for Hoffenheim but not sure if he will be a regular for them?

Personally I’d love him back as an option up front and on the wings.

I thought he was going to Fulham.

[Hipper]

Chelsea have bought Mike Penders (gk) from Genk- loaned back for the rest of the season.

Does that put paid to interest (if any) in Trafford?

He's done well. He used to play for The Searchers.

It looks like Kevin Keegan on rhythm guitar.

I honestly can’t see us going after him.

We have got so many players on the books that can play his position.

I think the club will be more careful moving forward and not waste money on well stocked positions

[claretskeith]

I agree. I'd be very surprised if we go for JBL. It's looking more likely to be central midfield where we'll need to bring someone in.

[jedi_master]

We need another winger like a hole in the head. We need additional depth at centre midfield, and a starter in that position if Berge is going. That is it. The depth in all positions is ridiculous, nowhere moreso than the wings.

[burnley007]

I would be over the moon if we sign JBL, he is a guaranteed starter on the right wing.
It's an absolute no brainer for me.

[Woodleyclaret]

Don't forget Benny scored spectacular goals off the right wing including the one that won us the league.His treatment by VK was nothing short of scandalous.

[claretskeith]

I'm seeing Odobert/Zaroury and Koelosho/Benson as our main wingers. JBG central.

[ArmchairDetective]

If he just hasn't reported back surely its breach of contract, i'd like to think we aren't paying him.
If he wants a move surely the sensible thing to do would be to at least come in and get himself fit, obviously not the brightest.

Maybe the reason he isn't in training isn't what people are assuming...

[Steddyman]

Don't forget Benny scored spectacular goals off the right wing including the one that won us the league.His treatment by VK was nothing short of scandalous.

But Benny is injured half of the season, and when fit only a 20 minute player.

[jedi_master]

Maybe the reason he isn't in training isn't what people are assuming...

Hopefully this is asked in Parker’s very first pre-match press conference. If it’s something innocent like an injury, or even something of a personal nature (I.e, what Foster suffered with) it would be better to know to an extent so that the lad isn’t getting lynched on here and social media.

[morninbob]

Unless odebert is sold I agree.

[willsclarets]

It's a weird one. He's not exactly a cheap signing, but no one as far as I can see has asked anyone at the club the question "where is the dude you just spent £13 million on?"

[jedi_master]

Yes, this is undoubtedly an odd one.

Parker hasn't yet had to speak about his squad/selection availability though with the media has he? It's just been club interviews to promote the season and his appointment etc. Like I say, I would hope the local media/Sky will make this point in the Luton pre-match. According to Transfermarkt, Tresor is our second most expensive signing ever following Zeki Amdouni. I don't think that is accurate, but regardless, he is right up there. It's insane to have such an investment being entirely ignored.

[JarrowClaret]

Do we think Tresor is still being paid-no one seems to know where he is-you could ask the same about Weghorst

No one on here knows where he is, I would like to think that someone at the Club knows where he is and his absence is agreed. If they don’t and it isn’t agreed then yeh I would guess that we would stop his wages.

[blatherwickstattoos]

We’ll have to wait to mission to Burnley 3 to find out about tresor lol

[ArmchairDetective]

No one on here knows where he is, I would like to think that someone at the Club knows where he is and his absence is agreed. If they don’t and it isn’t agreed then yeh I would guess that we would stop his wages.

They know exactly where he is. Foster was an outlier in the extent that his absence was publicised.

[Steddyman]

In the Athletic article about BFC accepting that certain key players like Oddobert and Berge will need to be sold, they don't mention Tresor, which suggests he is in the plans.

[JarrowClaret]

They know exactly where he is. Foster was an outlier in the extent that his absence was publicised.

Exactly there is something going on that we aren’t aware of, nobody in the press have even asked about him that I can see which for a player who hasn’t been seen at all is odd. Almost as if they have been told not to ask let’s see how it plays out, but I can see a compassionate loan back to Belgium towards the end of the window being on the cards.

I hope he is reintegrated though as I can see him being a big player for us this season if used correctly.

[Woodleyclaret]

Fao JarrowClaret
Tressor was VKs vanity project and his chasing Tressor despite Mike being reluctant to come bizarre.When Tressor played he was awful no tackle, no passing ability and a total cba demeanour. We needed steel in midfield not putty

[jojomk1]

I read some years back that the PFA had negotiated with clubs that players could only be fined a maximum of two weeks wages

So, fine him two weeks wages for every week he doesn't turn up

That should solve the problem

[Vegas Claret]

Dom Solanke to Spurs, 65 million including add ons apparently, 55 initial fee. Madness

[Vegas Claret]

Pedro Neto Wolves to Chelsea 60 million euros + add ons

[Newcastleclaret93]

Dom Solanke to Spurs, 65 million including add ons apparently, 55 initial fee. Madness

I honestly think that’s a good signing for spurs.

Probably about 15 million more than they should pay but I thought he was immense last season and is just the type of striker there missing.

[KRBFC]

I remember getting slagged to **** on here for saying I thought Solanke would be a very good player during his long goal less spell. Now look..

[burnmark]

Linked with John Egan who is on a free after leaving Sheffield United - Nixon

Not sure about the thinking with that one. We're well stocked in central defence unless it's cover for the injuries.

[johnnyjones]

A Dyche type signing that

[TsarBomba]

That’s O’Shea off then.

And considering how well stocked we are at CB, can only surmise we’re moving more on and/or Parker isn’t happy with what we have.

[bobinho]

I remember getting slagged to **** on here for saying I thought Solanke would be a very good player during his long goal less spell. Now look..

Look at what? A £20m player going for over 3 times that? What exactly are we looking at?

[Woodleyclaret]

John Egan would be a very good signing solid pro who never shortchanged Sheff Utd.

[RVclaret]

Linked with John Egan who is on a free after leaving Sheffield United - Nixon

Would be an excellent signing and sound replacement for Dara. Egan counts as hg, captained promotion winning squads and adds experience in general. It’s just whether he’s over his injury last season, he missed most of it.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Surely this means O’Shea is off?

[randomclaret2]

Was about to say it must be nearly 12 months since he last played

[Andingle]

Another injury prone defender , not ideal.
Whose on the injury list at the moment , Bayer , Al Dakill, Ekdal and Delcroix?

If true its a shocking situation after a season gap.

[Row x]

If true its a shocking situation after a season gap.

I'm sure they don't want to be injured, but injuries happen, it's life, not shocking.

[morninbob]

Maybe Egan is a contingency incase O'Shea leaves.

[Vegas Claret]

I honestly think that’s a good signing for spurs.

Probably about 15 million more than they should pay but I thought he was immense last season and is just the type of striker there missing.

yeah, the madness comment was more just a general comment on how silly the prices are nowadays for players

[123EasyasBFC]

O’Shea might still leave but right now we have O’Shea Esteve McNally and Egan Riley who are fit, Egan would make sense if the likes of Beyer, Ekdal and al dakhil aren’t near fitness

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Prices are silly yes but fans on here are notorious for thinking our players are worth naff all

[Goliath]

Haven’t seen his name mentioned in a while now but does anyone know anything about JBL potentially returning? Can see he’s played in a few friendlies for Hoffenheim but not sure if he will be a regular for them?

Personally I’d love him back as an option up front and on the wings.

We should be all over him as a priority. Solid consistent and a massive goal threat who'd pretty much guarantee us at a minimum 10 goals. At the moment I'm not sure we have his type as a wide option, he'd actually be much more important for us than Odobert.
If we could sell Odobert and sign JBL I'd be pretty happy with that.

[Silkyskills1]

John Egan would be a very good signing

I've always thought that. Could it still happen?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Prices are silly yes but fans on here are notorious for thinking our players are worth naff all

Tbf the players that are going for big money are players that have had great seasons.

The difference is some of our fans think players with crap seasons will still go for big money
