True, but that sort of big signingHe will go for a similar amount to Gus though
To be honest I’d kind of like the ballsy nature of replacing Gus with say a 10 million pound player rather than a few 2/3 million pound players
don’t know why, intent I suppose
Very fair point,But no £10m player is going to accept 20k a week.
Which is why we need 3 or 4 players for that amount of money.
I think we’d be looking at a couple from abroad , seems to be more value in the foreign leaguesBut no £10m player is going to accept 20k a week.

Didn't Robins say a while back that people need to be realistic with their wage demands if that was directed towards gus then he probably has a replacement lined up and will have known gus is unlikely to stay

We were in the bottom 4 last season as regards wage bill , I think this season we should be a lot higher and therefore more attractive to potential signingsVery fair point,
when do we start trying to compete and offer average championship wages then?
or do we stick to our process
maybe hyam back at LCB. Blackburn might still owe us some money for him.
I disagree , Gus will be hard to replace obviously but we are signing exciting players . I don’t think Simms would’ve signed unless certain promises were made to himIf Hamer doesn't sign the deal we have to sell unfortunately, can't afford to let him leave on a free in 12 months.
Will be absolute gutting and with losing Hamer and Gyokeres i think it will be a bottom half finish and will take another 3 years before we can even think about another crack at the play offs/top 10.
Scott Twine ?If there was a swap deal with Burnley, then McNally plus Bastien please.
Scott Twine ?
Scott Twine ?
That would be a pretty ridiculous valuation on Twine considering he did absolutely nothing last season. Not really sure what this forum’s obsession is with him.I suspect that Burnley rate Twine about £15m too.
This mentions Bobby Thomas (who tbh I’ve never really heard of) or McNally plus some cash.
Burnley working on a deal for Coventry's £15m midfielder Gustavo Hamer
TOM COLLOMOSSE: Burnley are working on a deal to sign Gustavo Hamer from Coventry with the midfielder valued at about £15million.www.dailymail.co.uk
Would seem like it with how much his name has been banded around the last week. Will be his agent earning his pay-check.I personally think Hamer wants to move on like Gyökeres did, it’s just not being played out in the press

I remember that article and in my opinion it’s easy to say that you love being here etc. whilst the team is in the middle of a rich vein of form and heading into a play off campaign, but it’s completely different in the transfer window and the moment comes where Prem sides are interested and you have the chance to double your wage - I do wish he’d never done that interview as not only has it probably given us a bit of false hope it’s also left himself open to some stick if he does move on which he quite frankly doesn’t deserveHe's already spoken openly. He says he likes being here, and he would like to play in the Premier League one day. He also said he wouldn't be able to turn down Feyenoord if they came knocking.
He’s in no way shape or form worth more than Gyökeres and I can’t believe how many people think he is, then again they’re the same people who probably wanted him publicly flogged after he got sent off at Millwall and Brum away anywaySome crazy over-valuations being thrown around on Twitter as well. Seen someone say that if Gyokeres is worth £20m than Hamer is worth £30m
Think it would be very good business if we can get £15m for him, although I’d much rather he stayed.
An exaggeration I thinkHamer is a once in a generation talent
How very sophisticatedDick off.
You can’t just shoe-horn a player into a squad because they happen to be very good at set pieces, hence why England never took Ward-Prowse to the World Cup - he’s never a premier league playerTwine didn't play a lot as he was injured early on in the season and kept breaking down with the same injury. He was starting to look a really good player by the end of the season. I think Kompany really rates him and the other players say he is the best technical player at the club so unless they think he really needs a loan I can't see him going anywhere. He is worth keeping at Burnley for the free kicks alone.
If money was tight I can understand it, but we've got £20m coming in from Vik. Even if you can't agree a new contract, that buffer allows you to gamble on keeping him for another year and him walking away on a free if we don't go up.
How very sophisticated
Robins said previously that his budget will be similar to last year.This season Leicester and Leeds will be very short odds for the first 2 places. Our playing budget will still be probably around half way maybe a bit below that. Therefore in all probability we will not get promoted this season. It might happen, but it is far more likely not to happen.
I’m not sure that is a reasonable interpretation of that. By the end of today we may have our 5th signing through the door with 6 weeks still to go in the window. How many did you expect at this stage ?I think the transfer window is going a long way from plan. The cancellation of the match in Portugal for lack of players tells us all we need to know.
