All I can smell after reading that is burnt toast

Genuine question - is this guy a CB or LB? So are we looking either him or Bakker, or both?

I thought he was a left back or left of a back three

Spent most of his career as a CB but has filled in at LWB for Brighton when needed. Bakker deal seems dead in the water at this moment.

15M is nothing nowadays for a proven PL Centre half tbh. We were prepared to pay the best part of £38M, on an unproven player from another league

[Stottie]

Ferk it, just pay it. Give him a two and half year deal. Left back who can cover centrally. That sounds good to me.

 

Our most winnable games are coming straight away, so we want players who can slot straight in. A good points total in February and the resulting confidence/momentum should seeing us through the harder games afterwards.

£15m for any player is probably a no brainer tbh if they think they'll improve us. Not seen a lot of Burn but from what I've read he seems decent, and futs the mould of what Howe needs perfectly.

Can play LB too.

[STM]

This is the sort of deal where a "survival bonus" makes sense. Give them 11/12m and 3m if we survive. 

 

We are right to not "give them what they want". We can do that Monday morning.

Well they'll just wait until Monday morning then.

That's exactly what they are doing.

This isn’t a marquee signing or anything but I believe it will prove to be a very shrewd move in the end.

The longer we wait the more chance of them saying no because we can’t replace him now.

 

i believe it’s experienced premier league defenders like him that will keep us up and apparently we’re haggling over 2 - 5 million.  Just pay it and get him in ffs, especially now Clark has shown his red against Norwich wasn’t a one off.

Just offer them money + players, we have plenty of players to give them for with no problems.

"We've got all these shite players who have us bottom of the league" might not be as enticing as you think.

Brighton fan here. Dan Burn has just gotten better and better for us. He has played left of a centre-back trio, left wing back and left of a back two consistently well for us. That said, he is viewed as a back up to Dunk and Webster mostly, who are two superb centre halves so no shame there. 

 

He isn't the quickest, but uses his positioning superbly well and always gives himself a few yards. In the wrong environment against lightning fast players, he can be made to look very slow (Traore and a few others have given him nightmares at LWB) but this is quite uncommon.

 

He is surprisingly bad in the air. Whilst he wins defensive headers, his percentages aren't as good as they should be and the ball can end up going practically anywhere. Attacking corners is the same, often wins it and puts it into row Z.

 

He has improved tenfold since he joined and Potter really rates him. After a poor performance last season he was getting some stick, Potter said afterwards "anyone who doesn't think Dan Burn is a good defender doesn't know anything about football". 

 

As for the sale, I can see it happening, although I have no insider information, I am just a fan. His contract is up in June 2023.

 

The issue is the fee. Tony Bloom is, in my biased view, the shrewdest operator in the league and as a club - despite large losses - we have no need to sell unless a player forces a move. As shown with Ben White (we rejected £25m then £30m from Leeds before he'd even kicked a ball in the PL), he simply won't sell unless he gets his figure.

 

Bloom sets a figure and just outright declines every offer until that figure is met. It's as simple as that. In this case, he wants £15m it would appear, so you'll either be paying £15m or he won't move. It's just how the club operates.

 

Hope this was interesting/useful.

 

 

[Fantail Breeze]

 Really useful, appreciate the insight.

[cubaricho]

15m seems completely fair. Get it done. 

[Miggys First Goal]

You know we could offer £15m and they'll magically increase the price to £20m

[toontownman]

I don't see how this doesn't get done without us having major breakthroughs on deadline for better players. 

 

He wants to come and it will be the only chance to play for his boyhood team.

It's the most money Brighton will get for him.

We are a few million apart.

 

Sure Brighton are within their rights to say no, we are keeping him but I don't see it. They are a decently run, family club and it's a player that has been decent to them.

Very useful information about him, thanks. But from what you've said, he's not worth £15m.

Out of interest what would you say his best position is? Or where you think he has best performed for you lot?

You're welcome! I really like him left of a central three, so that our left wing-back Cucurella outside of him and centre-back Dunk beside him can offer cover on the overlap and underlap. We go man to man so if he goes with the striker, he has pace behind him.

 

I really like Burn, he is well liked by Albion fans and would be sad if he went. Would improve your defence immediately, but if playing in a back two could do with pacey players either side of him.
