Get the lad Dale Fry…. #slabheadmkii

Burnley looking at Scott dann allegedly. Would suggest they are after alternatives

Surely there is a player out there that is a better defender than Maguire for £80m. If so, get it done and it will have been a successful summer.

Ake

Ake is too expensive. Get Tah, not Dunk, maybe Tarkowski

 

And we are bang up to date.

Scott Dann would be the most-Burnley signing ever

Nailed On

If Burnley are looking at Dael Fry, maybe we could outbid them. They seem to base their  team on good strong defence, and signed Tarkowski and Keane, before selling the latter for £30M. Maybe Ginger Mourinho is good at spotting a decent Centre Half and we should take Fry for £10M rather than Tarkowski for £40M/£50M.

[L3n9a]

So the reality is, if Burnley can replace Tark, they will sell him to us.

 

It really does beg the question, why didn't we exercise a similar philosophy? It's not like this was out of the blue, we have known for months.

I'm on first name terms with Tark, but he prefers to be called Jimmeh.

We don't need another unproven CB in my opinion , we already have two.

I guess because if we signed a CB for £40m then Man U didn’t meet our valuation we would have signed a CB with funds that could be better spent elsewhere and left with a £40m CB that wasn’t really required

Or maybe when we signed three CB's last summer we were preparing for this eventuality.

Except you can have everything agreed and then green light it once replacement is found. Seems to be what Burnley are trying to do.

If we'd have bought Tarkowski first Man U would have known Maguire was then surplus and not paid £80m.

 

Also the fact that everyone and their dog knew we were looking for close to £90m.

Whilst I understand your point we already have 2 young CB’s who we’re not sure are adequate or whether we can have full confidence in and we’d be taking a gamble on we don’t need a 3rd, we need someone to come in and do a job now, someone solid and proven.

 

Whilst bringing through the 2 youngsters we have.

 

Unfortunately bringing in someone to come in and do a job, someone solid is going to cost us, I’ll say again - making the Maguire deal almost pointless as we'll see very little profit all things considered and probably weaker for it all.

[Muzzy_no7]

Why don't we offer Burnley 30-35m + Benko on a season-long loan?

[Dahnsouff]

Well Palace fans are certainly keen on ditching Dann to Burnley. Maybe....

If we bring in a solid and proven CB to replace HM how do we bring Soyuncu and Benkovic through, presumably one would go on lone and the other would get a few cup games, in a years time we'd still have 2 untried CB's 2 years into their contracts.

[Master Fox]

We need another defender. Evans is great but will get injured at some point during the season. Looks like another season of Big Wes otherwise.

I don't know what the weather's like in Leicester at the moment, but up here in @HighPeakFox and @WilmslowFox country, there's no bloody sign of a storm whatsoever!

Frankly, having written my car off yesterday, that's a relief.

I can confirm that storm Linekars Apples was referring to will take place.......

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Weather related? Are you near Whaley?

 

My post wasn't of course. It was more Apple and Pitchfork related...

Bid 35 mill + add on of say 5 mill test the water

[Tuna]

I think if this was happening, we'd know by now. We're going with Evans, Morgan, Soyuncu and Benkovic.
