We'd be mad to let Molumby go if Stephens is going.

[Albion] Stephens to Burnley (deal now confirmed)
- Thread starter Questions
- Start date
would be a good move for Stephens , great player on his day but I have to sadly say the number of 'his days' has been decreasing each season with prolonged dips in form.
think we have good cover in central midfield so would not be surprised if no new player in for that role , even Gross played the holding role recently so cant see it being a problem area given the depth in squad

That’s simply not true.

Exclusive breaking news from our Transfer Tracker. Burnley are back in for Dale Stephens.
They have made a bid, four years after a persistent attempt to sign the midfielder. #BHAFC

Before anyone revs up the car, and offers to drive him there themselves, the 16m at the top of this thread is 16 minutes (ago) when it was posted on Twitter, NOT a £16 million bid for Dale.

At first I read that as 16 million!
I thought wow we'd take that all day long, then realised it probably meant 16 minutes!
Edit - just seen the above post! 16 mil really would have been football gone mad!

Never been a fan of Sideways/Backwards Stephens. But I admit that he played very well in the cup vs Portsmouth. I agree he is worth at least £2million.
Burnley will have gained a very experienced player. Although they may find going forward a bit stinted with him in the centre half .

Suspect there's either a bit of fishing or trolling involved in those suggestions. I know we're not very good at getting top whack for players we sell, but £750K for Stephens? Troll on!
And as you say, if Stephens does go, we certainly shouldn't get rid of Molumby too.

Unless Barrios or another is coming in?

In the same way that Alax let Veltmann go for low fee after all his years of service, I've no problem with Dale being let go for a small sum. But then again it's not my money!

strong and stable with me, or...
Always been a fan. Very talented player, very underrated. He's not ideally suited to how Potter wants to play, but is probably ideal for how Burnley go about their games. Always given his all on the pitch, and been a key player in transforming our mentality.
If he goes, feel it will be a rubber stamp on Molumby being ready. If he stays, still think he is an excellent option for us.

??. Albion for multiple windows now - don't sell first choice players so unlikely to be getting top whack for anyone. And even when they do sell - can make decent profits (Knockaert to Fulham for example)

He's not crap or become a bad player, we've just changed to a system and style not best suited to him.
He'd flourish in a Burnley, West Ham, Newcastle system. He's got great experience, good enough for most of bottom halfs squads, and at 31 with a good 3 to 4 years in the engine that's worth more than 750k

Well true. I would be surprised though, Molumby looks ready and we are trying to promote youth so that would seem counter intuitive to me.

It’s another one like Duffy. Stephens is barely worth 2mill to a Potter team but maybe 8-10mill elsewhere.
Given that he never really had any pace, I could see Stephens doing a Jimmy Case , when he left for Stains.
I am uncomfortable selling him to a direct rival.

The goal away at Boro in play off semi....the angled pass to Knocky at Selhurst before the wonder goal.
Down west Street off his tits after promotion. We'll miss our vice captain when he's gone.
