[Albion] Daily Mail reporting Albion have rejected £4m from Burnley for Dale Stephens

[AZ Gull]

No way that Stephens will go anywhere until after the Derby game. If he's still our player then he uses up his suspension, if he goes now he misses Burnley's first game instead.

He may or may not go, but if he does the timing will have absolutely nothing to do with his suspension. We signed Gordon Greer from Swindon in July 2010 and he missed our first two matches because he was serving a suspension from being sent-off in the play-offs for Swindon.

And then got himself sent off when making his debut for us against Rochdale

Didn't we sign players who were crocked also before joining?

If he goes we will have someone lined up but it will be on our terms rather than theirs. With 12 months to go on his contract there will be a fee we will accept, at a guess around £6m. If he is going to stay then I would expect a new contract announcement in the next week or so.

It's £10m. He said so himself....

Yep, and when he started playing, he got another red card, so was suspended again.

Hopefully he doesn't go, but from Burnley's point of view it makes sense to wait until after the Derby game as they kick off a week later. They save the money for a week or so and they get rid of his suspension with no loss to themselves.

Assuming as many on here suggest, we are holding out for more money for DS and he will eventuall. go to Burnley how about replacing him with Ravel Morrison if available either on loan or as a purchase. bit if a hot head but good playere

Ha ha! This one's definitely a joke right?

We always have,Remember Darren Freeman,i first met Darren when we were about 8 or 9 years old,was riding my bike and his first words to me were "i suppose you think you're well hard" never forget that....

Anyway long story short,his Knee was always suspect and when playing he would say hang on a minute,stop and click his knee back into place....probably stopped him playing higher to be honest.

Freeman has an interesting story regarding Jimmy Hill from his time at Fulham!

Unfortunately I think he's serious

According to Football Rumours the Dutch press are saying Burnley have put in a bid for Ziyesh a Moroccan midfielder at Twente Enschede hopefully that will signal them not chasing Stephens any more.

Even when it's potentially positive you might want to keep your tin helmet handy quoting "that site"
Even allowing for all the crap Twitter accounts they still reign supreme when it comes to sheer volume of utter utter shite

A) in true football rumours style, his name was spelt wrong on there.

B) a quick google of Ziyech Burnley shows many articles on Burnleys' interest from before the dullard posted it on rumours. So good news is it's probably true - but didn't come from that shithouse site

Totally different players.

We'd still be after a Stephens/Westwood.

Not sure Stephens would want to go to a club with a guaranteed relegation place to look forward to

They're not guaranteed relegation and they can double his wages...we would also be guaranteed relegation then if we went up and guess Bournemouth would have been last season.

Players want more wages mostly and then prem football is next on the list....They don't care if the club gets relegated either.
