Been saying for a while that Burnley getting promoted will impact this deal, whether they just don't want to sell or raise the price

 

If his contract is until 2027 they don't have to sell this summer. Unless they're financially fucked like Leicester and Sheff Utd when getting promoted, I can't see them selling their best player for anywhere near the £20mil that's been rumoured previously

They don’t have to sell, but if he’s unlikely to sign a new contract their probably writing off ~50% of his value by letting him get down to one year.

 

Maybe there’s an argument to say keeping him increases their chances of staying up, which would be worth a lot more, or maybe he does well and increases his value, so they get close to what they would get now anyway. But it’s still a risk.

Would be happy if we got him and sent him back on a season long loan there. Another year of PL experience before he became our number 1 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

Nah, he’d be our best keeper now. Eddie might do his thing where he makes him wait a bit to get into the team, but he’d usurp Pope soon enough.

Unless Pope is part of the deal? 
 

Appreciate Burnley have been playing out from the back a fair bit however maybe unlike Southampton/Martin they will adapt a more sensible approach.

That interview and growing up as a Chelsea fan in Cumbria...stay clear.

Aye, needs to knock that shit on the head. You’re a keeper in the championship, have some humility lad. You can act the big lad when you’ve come to Newcastle and won the premier league
