David Edgar Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm sure Trafford would be delighted at the news that he has to spend a season getting 5 put past him every week at the foot of the table instead of joining us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie might do his thing where he makes him wait a bit to get into the team, but he’d usurp Pope soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Joelinton7 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Would like to see his “shots faced” and “shots saved”. This whole “record clean sheets” thing is glazed by the fact he barely has any saves to make in the first place due to Burnley’s back four, Esteve in particular who I wouldn't mind picking up as a 3rd/4th choice CB.
