No.

But anything, a comment from either manager for instance, or a quote from the players agent?

This is just regurgitating other media Rumours as often happens nowadays. Again no different from our rumored bid.

Spoke to a friend who's a Norwich fan and he confirmed Brady is a very good player
but needs constant 'motivating' as he can apparently drift out of games if he isn't.

Well, don't think motivation will be an issue under Dyche.
The issue is can we beat Leicester if, as suggested, they're interested in him.
They could probably match our bid and probably offer 10k+ a week more than we're willing to go.
Having said that we're currently ahead of them in the league and have the Ward/Hendrick
factor which could make a difference but not necessarily 10k+ difference .

Do hope we manage to pull this one off. He does seem the perfect fit.

I'm hoping there's been a few WhatsApp messages going between Brady-Hendrick-Ward this week

Palace are still after him . He fancies palace according to the irish agent

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:53 pm

How many left sisded players do palace need ? They have signed schlupp, had a bid rejected for van Aarnholt, been linked with Evra and want Brady !

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:55 pm

Maybe there after him to cover lb and lm role

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:58 pm

Plus they have Jason Puncheon and Zaha plays out wide too

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:59 pm

It looks like £13m or no point in pursuing it to me, even if it seems daft to anyone else. If we don't match it we won't get him.

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:59 pm

Surely if he goes there he has less chance of playing

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 7:11 pm

if Leicester and Palace are in for him he wont be coming us $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ wages

If so that's a good reason for him not to want to go there

Confirming from whom?

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 9:32 pm

Burnley have made an offer worth up to £13m for Norwich winger Robbie Brady, 24. The Republic of Ireland international is also wanted by Crystal Palace and Sunderland. (Daily Mirror)

This from BBC Sport

claretspice · Post by **claretspice** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 9:48 pm

So its the bbc reporting the daily mirror, not reporting it itself.

That's about the strength of it.
I did find a quote from Norwich saying we'd made a bid, can't find the link now.

Alex neil gave this reply

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 10:08 pm

That all but confirms definite interest from ourselves with that quote from Alex Neil.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 10:10 pm

It wouldn't be £13 million anyway. It'll be up to that figure based on appearances etc.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 12:10 am

“Is Burnley news to me? The figure certainly is.”

That says to me = We know they want him, but the bid isn't big enough.

Agreed. Or at least, the guaranteed down payment isnt big enough.

Good offer but i bit short i think

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:16 am

Just about to post the same. If they are after £12m-£13m then we're already there. Hope don't fanny about.

Get him in!

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:17 am

I think they want it up front not with add ons

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:24 am

I think £12m with 1m addons would do it. We could probably afford that with £40m profit sat in the bank.

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:30 am

Just can't see us getting this one done, happy to be proved wrong though.

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:35 am

Looking like favorites

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:38 am

Barely way transfers get done all in one payment now, £0m upfront is a substantial fee.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

Corky · Post by **Corky** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:41 am

I think we need to offer a little more than that really!!!!!

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 10:42 am

12 with a million add on if we stay up will do it

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 11:35 am

For some reason I feel more positive about this than our usual transfer dealings. Sounds like our offer is within the ball park and not too far away.

I think the Ward/Hendrick link and the fact he could be a regular in our first team will have a big bearing on his decision.

On the downside Palace and Leicester could offer higher wages and both closer to Norwich so less commuting.

I think youre misinterpreting the upfront bit. I dont think its about whether it is a one off payment straight away or paid in installments but more about what we guarantee to pay them over time regardless of appearances or any other terms like staying up that trigger an additional payment

I reckon he'd move house if he signed for us.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 12:07 pm

He's not a player who has concerned himself with geography too much - Manchester United to Hull to Norwich so far. The one thing for sure, if you play for Norwich and leave, you have to move.

ClaretTony - apologies for the title of my earlier thread. It wasn't intended to imply your demise. Certainly didn't want anyone else to think that so apologies to your many friends as well.

I'm feeling positive about this one, it sounds like we aren't faffing around, it certainly seems like we're doing all we can to get him which you simply can't fault whether he joins or not.
