So it isn't even like there is a bidding war of your burnley surely you just want to get him off your books at this point? And if we're the only club offering money closest to there valuation as it seems then I think they might fold eventually.

hinsleburg Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I was going to come on here and absolutely lambast the club for not getting this, or an alternative done. The Earthy deal has mitigated that somewhat as West Ham would have needed to wait for their own signings/pre-season to make a decision on him so I can see it being a scenario where he wasn't first choice and is being bought in as a rotation option so we were happy to wait. But for us to still not have a recognised, Senior, number 10 in the building is horrendous and would be interested if anybody can defend the clubs approach on this please try? We seem really aggrieved at Burnley for not lowering their price, but we're doing exactly the same with Conway where we have less of a leg to stand on due to contract situation. People saying 'the Transfer Window isn't closed' but that's irrelevant, the season has started and that should be our 'Transfer Deadline'. Part of me wonders if we're all in now and either hope Burnley lower their price last minute or we pay over the top. The club should have moved on weeks ago, we should have had Plan B,C,D or E in the building before the Hull game and put this whole fiasco to bed. We've created a no win scenario for ourselves and we're trying to play Poker but everyone can see our cards. This is the most important position in 'Manningball' and already cost us 2 points at the weekend as we were far better than Hull. Pay up or move on ASAP but if we're relying on Earthy/square pegs until January then we've once again failed our main objective. Transfers are not easy and incredibly complicated but at least everybody else keeps it private, we're publicly stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Watching Luton v Burnley last night the commentators mentioned that Scott Parker has an oversized squad and could have fielded two teams and needs to offload players. Twine and McNally were on the bench so possibly they could be two who’s services are no longer required at Turf Moor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very big difference, it's clear Twine is still the main target but we should have moved on weeks ago and stopped the weird public flirting. Without covering old ground, if the club was serious about the ambitions they say publicly either this would have been done or somebody else would have been in. Two league matches before deadline day plus one immediately the day after, that's 3 games without a recognised player in our most pivotal position if we wait and if you think that's acceptable then more power to you. But it shouldn't be and this whole transfer has been amateurish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
