Happy Fox Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4681146/Transfer-news-LIVE-Latest-Premier-League-Europe.html Burnley targeting Sheffield Wednesday's Tom Lees SIMON JONES: Tom Lees remains among the targets being considered by Burnley. Stoke City and Leicester are also understood to have considered the 26-year-old who has been a mainstay of Sheffield Wednesday's defence since joining on a free transfer from Leeds United in 2014. Burnley have also earmarked Lamine Kone at Sunderland though it is understood the Ivory Coast international is waiting on offers from other clubs. Probably a back up option if we cannot get Chris Smalling/ Jonny Evans
TheUltimateWinner Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 Chris smalling... Tom lees... not much in it
foxes21 Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 we've been mentioned in the article so it gets more clicks

kingfox Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 Evans, Gibson, Smalling then having to settle for Tom Lees No ta
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 'Have considered' is past tense. Suggests we've moved on.
Guest Manini Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 Tom Fxcking Lees side note, how 'Leicester' would this be as a signing
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 He's actually pretty bloody good (for that level). Nothing to suggest he couldn't be semi decent in the Prem, mind.
thybluefox Posted 10 July 2017 Posted 10 July 2017 No thanks, no thanks at all. Will be perfect for a club of Burnley's ambitions though.

chicagofox Posted 11 July 2017 Posted 11 July 2017 He had a very good season in the Championship last season. Fair play to those who think he'd be terrible for us, but I hope none of you are being two-faced and calling for Lawrence to get a start.
Aaron Posted 11 July 2017 Posted 11 July 2017 Strange to see fans so dismissive of a very good player from the Championship having won the Premier League with Morgan, Simpson, Schmeichel, Drinkwater and Vardy, all of whom had previously spent the majority of their career in the football league. He's been one of the better defenders in the Championship for a few years now, and the gap between PL and FL has been narrowed significantly in the past 5 years or so. With Maguire (another lower-league allumni who's taken to the top level naturally) already aboard with Morgan, Huth, ****s and Benny as well, it's a risk worth taking.

The gap between the bottom of the PL and upper FL may be narrow, but the way we want to be heading we need to do better than Tom Lees. He's steady in the Championship but not an improvement on Benalouane who is currently 4th choice. I'd love to be proved wrong, I just can't see it happening. I reckon it's as simple as, Leicester are in the market for a CB, Stoke and Burnley have shown interest in Lees and we've been thrown in by the journalist.
Koke Posted 11 July 2017 Posted 11 July 2017 He's actually not a bad player fbh. Sheff Wednesday are pretty solid defensively. Would rather we went for Evans or Smalling though.
foxy boxing Posted 11 July 2017 Posted 11 July 2017 no - we need Premier League quality players, let's not start shopping in the Championship!
