Not sure him wanting to go will make a bit of difference if they don’t meet Tony’s valuation. It does if they do of course.

Newcastle’s transfer strategy is all over the place much like their new manager search was once Bruce left. The owners may be rich but they are showing themselves to be absolutely clueless when it comes to running a football club.

As for Burn, he’s done well recently and is a great pro but he wouldn’t get in our side when everyone is fit so if they offer £20 million I’d take it.

On present form, he really might.
Anyway, it's not an eleven man game any more.
Unless we buy a CB he'll get 20/30 games a season whatever

If our price is met (£15m sounds a great fee) then I’m really happy to see him go. He’s been great this year BUT our club model is to make good money on players and have younger replacements to come in to drive up their value and repeat. We have a queue of potential riches at CB waiting their chance. Two outstanding championship level players who have done better than I ever remember Burn being at Wigan in Clarke and Van Hecke. Ostigard playing top level Italian football, and Roberts. Isn’t this what the plan has always been?

If we don’t sell Burn now we will likely never get a fee for him at his age and he will have lost a chance to seriously up his wages.

Naylor said Burn is relaxed about it. Happy to go, also happy to stay.

£15M - as opposed to the £7 or £8M previously reported (guessed?) - sounds more like it.

I wouldn't describe £15M as 'great', but I think it's probably realistic. My guess is that such a fee would be accepted, especially if Burn wants to go (not standing in his way - as long as the price is right).

How much did the Saints CB cost Leicester in the summer ?

Vestergaard. Reportedly 15 mill.

Vestergard was signed for 15m reportedly. He was also in the final year of his contract. Burn has 18 months left.

My source (my first ever) says the same

 

[Stato]

Only got the away game left thankfully

Of course! I can't believe that I forgot that second half at home against Newcastle. We were absolute bobbins.

Vestergaard. Reportedly 15 mill.

He did actually look quite good for a bit last season but, overwhelmingly, whenever I've seen him play, he's utterly hopeless.

Only home game I’ve missed this season

That sounds so Dan Burn. Enjoying himself here, loves the club and manager. But the option of a 3 or 4 year contract on silly money at his boyhood club equally appeals.

Gotto love him.

 

[Motogull]

If he wasn't our player, what price would you be happy to BHA to pay to get him as an established EPL defender?

Mrs DiS reckons they were well shot of him - that he and Ryan Bertrand are two parts of the reason why Leicester’s defence Is not too hot.

I don’t take enough of an interest in Leicester to comment.

Depends on the quality of the other defenders already at the club. If it was to add to ours considerably lower than if to add to theirs.

 

[kevo]

Would be sad to see him go, think he's been exceptional this season, but for £15m with other potential first-team centre backs in the wings it would kinda make sense really.

The answer is that all sorts of posters will show up punting their value, but anyone that has been following things would recognise that there's zero chance that he fits the profile of the players that we target and, potentially, sign.
