Maybe in a couple of days you'll be saying gerrimin. Haha! I am very very much against signing Tarkowski it is a reactionary rather than proactive planning transfer and think it goes completely against what has got us to this position in the first place.

Trying to tone down my posts to not upset those of a sensitive disposition@HighPeakFox Sometimes deviating from that plan will be needed to sign the right player. Look at Man U under Fergie. Paid over the odds for Robin Van Persie and he didnt fit their usual formula but he pretty much single handedly fired them to the title that year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 he's dug himself a bit of a hole saying he wants CL football. if he moves to west ham then its obvious that he just wants a big payday. he could argue a move to us brings him a European adventure and more chance of CL qualification. west ham's board have made a huge rod for their backs over the sale of diangana. so they may well go over the top to secure JT.

Tarkowski has done it at Burnley and would cost at least 10x the price! Pretty sure from what I've read he had a release clause in his contract that made him available for what we got for him if they were to be relegated. If you recall in the summer transfer window before Man City were after him and West Brom quoted about £25m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les-TA-Jon Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 Are we actually in for him? I know we need more CBs and the old adage of 'only sign players good enough for the first 11' but if we did get him, does Evans drop to the bench? Surely not?

Pretty obvious we’re going 3 at the back next season I think. So an extra CB is required. However big Tark’s does not impress me, has no resale value and is frankly about as underwhelming as signing Cattermole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 That link from Sky Sports stating Burnley wanting double (West Ham’s £27m bid) seems to be completely without basis, and just standard made up tosh. Relates I assume to the reported (but unverified) £50m buyout clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 7 September 2020 Share Posted 7 September 2020 Burnley have got to be carful though. There are certain attributes a club needs to command such a high price. Our stock has somewhat been over exaggerated thanks to our league win. So we are able to sell Maguire for £80m.... and he was also an England regular. Tarks isn’t, Burnley will not get £50m for him and I’d say it’s clear he wants to leave to take his game to the next level, so unless they’re willing to accept a more realistic price they will end up with a disgruntled player on their hands.
