They will be aware that we've struggled in the transfer market in previous seasons and that could be taken as an indication of our lack of desire to give it a go.
Bournemouth don't seem to struggle like we do in the transfer market or Watford, neither of these have better gates than us or have a nice new stadium.
It's all about perception for me, and Burnley as a club struggle to sell themselves. IMO
But historically we've struggled for a reason. Times have changed. Well never be a Chelsea, or have some rich backer like Bournemouth, but what we do have is a club that continues to thrive, despite all logic. Stewardship of people who know football almost as much as they love Burnley and a manager that's a real man manager.
Boro are likely to lose Karanka before the seasons out, and are still in danger of going down.
He lives in Pickering, if he was wanting the bright lights of the big city believe me, he wouldn't be living in Pickering.
As club we have a lot to offer for the right players, but the right player isn't defined by ability alone. They need to understand the ethos of the club, the fans and the manager.
I haven't a clue where he will end up, but until he is having a medical elsewhere there's always hope.
