Why don't we offer Burnley £54m Thai Baht and hope they don't notice?

£54m in Thai Baht is ฿2,243,133,779.

 

Which, if you convert it back to pounds, is still £54m.

 

I don't think we've thought this all the way through.

Just ignore the pound sign that I didn't mean to include.

In that case, bloody hilarious.  Top banter right there.

To be totally fair to Burnley, 54M for Tarkowski makes much more sense that 80M for Slabhead.  But - just like we had Manures pants down, I would hate us to have the same done to us again by Burnley.  Sporting bent us over in recent years and our business since has been excellent.  Move on Rudders.

Did you see the starting line up the other night for the U21's?  People who should be in that team aren't getting in until Boothroyd.... dies?

 

nb: I know they won 6-0 but it was only Kosovo

 

Incredible that we've got such a talented generation coming through and the people in charge of them at the two highest levels are bloody bib and cone men.

With two years left on his contract, they are deluded if they think they can get that. Next summer they'll be happy to get £20m for him.

I’d push the boat out for Tarkowski

He’s a very solid CB and would make a big difference to our team

A CB pair of Caglar and Tarkowski would be fine

Tarkowski is their best player whereas when maguire left he was our 9th best player in our starting lineup. Unless they have a replacement that they know will be top quality lined up theyre probably happy to wait out his contract rather than get a measly 20 mil for him.

[Max Power]

Purse strings are very tight at Burnley. Dyche might almost want him to go if it means he can use the £30-35m to strengthen elsewhere - squad is threadbare. 

[TommyK]

If they don't sell him this year, they'll get less next. Another year older, only one year left on his contract.

No he wasn’t. He was probably our 4th best player. Stop with this rubbish about Maguire being no good. We got a great price for him but he’s a top player.

Not during 2018/19 he wasn't, had a very mediocre season. His 1st season with us he was superb though.

Anyone else starting to suspect this is pretty much done and we are waiting for Burnley to get their replacement finalised

In that season he was the 4th best defender in our back 4, Chilwell marginally better but Evans and Ricardo obviously so.

It’s Burnley, they aren’t going to want to lose him on a free.

No chance a move to West Ham increases his England chances. Would be a sideways move at best

[StanSP]

Burnley to West Ham is a backwards move right now, isn't it? 

[nettle]

They'll double his wage? Can't be on that much at Burnley.

Not necessarily, Castagne being an example.

 

They accepted £18m last season.

Maybe not backwards cause they’re both as shit as eachother. Definitely not forward tho 

[Leicester_Loyal]

A move to the capital and he'll probably double his wages, can't really blame him. I imagine we'll be interested depending on the fee they realistically want.
