Devonfox1884 Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Someone was a few days ago. I can't remember who but it was on the BBC that another club had had a bid rejected. Hull or Sunderland or someone like that. Haven't Burnley been linked with him in recent days?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonfox1884 Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Look like that's the one yeah. I'd love us to get him ahead of them just to see Dyche's reaction (and there's also the fact that he's a quality player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Burnley's bids probably included a David Fishwick minibus, some Doritos and Sean Dyche's 56 plate Mondeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Aren't they close to signing Forshaw from Brentford? Might want to wait til that one goes through before they left McArthur go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Dave Whelan is practically begging us to come back in with a better offer, I think this one could happen. He clearly knows McArthur wants to play in the prem, I think 7m would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFox Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 £7m max. Do we really want to spend that much on a 26 y/o Championship midfielder who's only scored 11 goals since 2010? Yes he is a good player, but I'd only spend £4m - £5m max. Aren't people calling for 'midfield cover'? Why would we spend that much for someone who's just gonna sit on the bench getting splinters in his arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Presuming this is true, how much is he actually worth? Is it worth putting an improved bid in for him? If that ever happened...... What a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Yes please. Would be a very good fit for us. Lets hope Wigan don't start playing silly buggers and start demanding 10 mill or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Whelan told Telegraph Sport: “We received a bid from Leicester and we’ve given them our reply this morning – he’s not for sale at that price. “Our number-one priority is the club, the second is the player, and we always look at things in that order. “I wouldn’t stand in the way of anybody wanting to playing in the Premier League, though, so we’ll see how much Leicester want him.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka_and_charlie Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 People are banging on about just chucking money about just so we sign someone, bidding is all about trying not to spend over the odds on a player, if we have bid £5 million, it will be a case of testing the waters and having a ball park figure to play with. I suppose some of you want us to go the Portsmouth and QPR route, which will eventually cripple us. The way Nige and his scouting team are working will see us finacially secure for decades, which in the long run, we would all prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Because of the time scale, if they really want the guy, I'd pay double. Terry Robinson needs to earn his money in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Do we really want to spend that much on a 26 y/o Championship midfielder who's only scored 11 goals since 2010? Yes he is a good player, but I'd only spend £4m - £5m max. Aren't people calling for 'midfield cover'? Why would we spend that much for someone who's just gonna sit on the bench getting splinters in his arse I wouldn't call him just "midfield cover", I think during our time in the Prem we have to rotate the squad quite frequently unlike when we were in the Championship last season due to players getting exhausted very quickly. We've lost three midfielders in two weeks, it's a major cause for concern in terms of how we use up ALL of our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamba's Babes Posted 26 August 2014 Share Posted 26 August 2014 Not the most inspiring midfielder. MaCarthy stole the spotlight back in the day so never paid any attention to this lad. We're having our pants down on transfer fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
