Not sure its basically done....but it sounds like its likely to happen. Would be even more interesting if we line up as a 352 today 😜

Yep and that's why they are happy finishing 17th or above every season. Ambition costs money.

It does.  But bearing in mind the sort of money Leicester have spent and the sort of money Burnley have spent over the past 4 years that we've coincided in the PL, and bearing mind that Leicester's extra spend has been worth 4 points a season and that we#ve each had one European qualification, I doubt Burnley are going to try and compete on spending with Leicester.

Yes a bit condescending by our lot here - despite some cynicism on here I think Burnley’s model for size of town, support, infrastructure and investment is incredible. A true northern town which is punching way above its weight and we are lucky to have the investment we have had over the past 10 years to be competing at the top end.

Back on topic Tark would be a great signing for now and we need to improve the first 18 which he definitely does!

No need now we got Amarty...

Evans is twice the player of Tarkowski.

Thanks @STUHILL for laughing at that post of mine. After today I say it again, Evans is class and twice the player of Tarkowski.

Does his price go up now we are a top 6 club

Just thought though, I liked that formation today so I'd happily take:

 

Ricardo -- Tarkowski -- Evans -- Soyuncu -- Cascagne

We'll be league champions, we can afford it.

Evans is the best central defender we have ever had. That is some honor as well as he beats Elliot, Walsh, Huth, Maguire, Taggart, Morgan etc. 

 

But he's not twice the player of tawkowski, who is a very good Premier league defender.

You have no need to defend Burnley at all, its a great  success story in its own right, much bigger clubs have been out the premier league for years. I like tarks and would welcome him, hard for you but everyone loses good players its the nature of the game, we should know.

My point (maybe badly put across) was to a guy who was suggesting we shouldn't sign tarkowski because burnley would replace him for 4 million pounds from the championship. My point was that you get what you pay for. I have respect for burnley and all they've done (better than most) but financially we are on another level (like 'the big six' are to us) we are in a position to splash on an expensive CB and I think we should if we can, I'd prefer that than getting Dawson or Cook. No disrespect intended towards burnley at all.

That is a fabulous back line.

[happy85]

Tarkowski was subject to a second bid in the transfer window from Leicester on Friday, a club who tried hard to sign him last summer. The offer, which is understood to have been around £30 million plus add-ons, was swiftly rejected by Burnley. The Athletic understands that there was a first made by Leicester earlier this month of around £25 million plus add ons.

[NewquayFox]

Don’t need him now we have signed Amartey... 

[murphy]

I've decided that I don't care who we get as CB as long as he is Belgian.

Forget Tarkowski. To expensive and for that kind of money we can do a lot better strengthening else where.

[Dahnsouff]

Zinho Vanheusden. Belgian CB.

Bring him home

When Evans went off then you know why we need tark 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

I hope Tarkowski doesn't end up like Michael Keane, who was great for Burnley because he played well in their all 11 behind the ball way of playing but couldn't adapt at Everton where he was considered rubbish for his first few seasons

[happy85]

Defender James Tarkowski, the subject of bids from West Ham and Leicester and out with a toe injury, is expected to join Brendan Rodgers’ club this week if they meet Burnley’s asking price, believed to be £40 million

I just can't see 40 million even 35 somehow just sounds so much better.

[dayday]

We should not be splashing out £40 million for somebody who has a dodgy toe, it might be gout for all we know.
