What was the most Burnley spent on a player before coming 7th?

Roughly :

Wood about £15m
Brady £13m
Hendrick £10m

 

[Megazone]

Historically we have been pretty shrewd and don't normally overpay when negotiating, so I'm confident the club think he is worth the extra dough. We may look back at the end of the season and say what a bargain.

That's what makes me think he's being viewed as more than just a squad player.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Other than the top 6. who else spends that much on players who aren't viewed as potential starters?

£10/15m is still loads for us. We're not Chelsea.

Surely they are potential starters....one suspension/injury and suddenly they are on the bench and just away from playing...seems sensible to have quality back up.
Then of corse there is the muted 3 centre back starting

 

[LamieRobertson]

Roughly :

Wood about £15m
Brady £13m
Hendrick £10m

But those figures are more than £10 million

 

[Southern Scouse]

Listen, CH hasn’t done too bad so far so if he wants him he must have his reasons. Personally, I don’t think he is a Prem quality player, but there again I thought Salah was rubbish.....

1) i think people aught to get used to us paying £10-15m on a player.

2) Hughton doesn't play 3 at the back.

looks like we have moved on from Moore..

Why don't you think Moore is being signed to be a starter? We were thrashed by quite a few teams last season. Do you really believe our starting backline doesn't need bolstering?

Thrashed by quite a few teams? who? apart from Liverpool and Chelsea thrashed us? In any case the name of the game last season was simply survival at any cost, and we managed that with something to spare.

l think we will start the season with Dunk and Duffy as our centre back pairing, and indeed those two playing together, are one of our strongest assets, and the envy of many a Premier League club.

Probably wise - best not get a reputation as a club that caves during negotiations. 3 or 4 bids is probably enough - if we see a decent alternative out there.

So the local Senior Sports reporter gets his info for his local team form the Sun?

Reading pushed their luck too far it appears.

Mind you Nixon not the most reliable of info re: transfers.

I imagine it gets to a point where you say...for that much we could just go and get.....instead...who is better.... bit like buying anything really, once you hit a level you think hang on, I could get this one for a bit more but much much better in the end..

It could also flush a response out from the player?? might want to leave? main thing here is that we are prepared to spend big on the right players, but once value no longer exists we are out of there....

looks that way..only the other day Boro supposedly pulled out of an agreement for Mcclair according to press, and two days later he is holding the shirt aloft....much of these negotiations are haggle, haggle, looking for who blinks first..

 

[spence]

Rather we did pull out then spend 10 million plus on a Championship defender

 

[Early Doors]

If he is referring to an article I saw in the Sun, it doesn't say we have moved on from Moore. It says we are interested in 19 year old centre half from Wolves as we look for a 'star for the future'. No mention of Moore, and I doubt it is connected any way to Moore. More likely as someone to groom as Dunk's replacement if he moves on after this season.

 

[ferring seagull]

Hallelujah !

I couldn't see any merit in spending that amount for Liam Moore !

Reading Chronicle are referring to that tweet from Alan Nixon from The Sun ( see screengrab above). Nixon tweeted this morning that his piece about 18 year old Wolves defender Cameron John was un related..(presumably our interest there is u23s related)

"Brighton. In for Jack O’Connor at Sheff U. Talking 5-6m. Switched to him after Moore snubs. If wages offer good might be difficult for Blades to fight it. Bit in paper hopefully."

He means Jack O'Connell.
