Burnley preparing another bid for Stephens (but probably bollox Twitter rumour)

[The Brighton Buzz]

£8 Million. I would accept £9 Mill and then get Loftus-Cheek in. Kayal and Norwood starting will be just as strong and we still have Sidwell. 8 or 9 million for Stephens would be good business,

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

No. Ain't broke don't fix. Take 8m and it could cost us 150m

Said one random transfer account on Twitter that usually posts guessing yet plausible crap and then deletes 95% of their wrong tweets..

Important to give it a source.

If that is true and it happens it will take some resolve from TB knowing he can join for nothing in just over 4 months. The plus is it would probably cost more than that to replace him.

I honestly think this is the least likely transfer to happen in this window.

No way would any club in England pay £8mil for a player with 6 months left on a contract.

 

[Albion Dan]

Just would be amazed if we risked selling anyone anywhere near the first team in this window when the rewards of promotion would be ten times any transfer fee.

Good for them.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

It's a difficult one.......me personally would rather he walk for nothing in the summer and take the risk.....but then again we might be in another division and .....oh i don't know!!!

Exactly. One random account making up rubbish based on previous rumours. Why do people need to post it as if it is true.

Especially as they're looking like they'll probably stay up without him.

 

[Springal]

Better than the £500k for Barnes

 

[Munchkin]

We MUST keep Stephens, he needs to play alongside Lampard

It's not true but, even if it was, why take £8 million now when we have our best chance ever of getting the riches of the Premier League. It's not like we're in the play offs at the moment, we're top and eight points clear of third place.

 

[atomised]

As said in the other thread when this was mentioned they are just rehashing the summers rumours. Easy to take that approach and hope. Blooms gamble if it were true would be the decision to stick and potentially gain a far higher sum or twist and get nothing.
Dale seems settled so why rock the boat

 

[portlock seagull]

Here we go again...£8m (refused), £8.1m (refused),£8.11m (refused), £8.12m...JUST BID A PROPER AMOUNT BURNLEY! You've £150m to spunk, share the love you tight northern bar-stewards!

They've just rehashed the summer rumour.

 

[Hyperion]

Are they thinking of offering £1000 up front and the rest in 12 pence instalments again?

Possibly could have worded it better, but at least it has started a debate, better than half the crap on here.

Yep - but a transfer window wouldn't be complete without 57 threads on NSC based on Twitter accounts ran by 13 year olds
