Agreed @Davefevs - with all the signings Burnley have made and therefore the cover they have at CB, surely he will be surpass to requirements. I would imagine that if they drop their asking price to closer to £2m, we will sign him. I do wonder if this is why LM was “coy” in yesterdays presser re Dickie’s injury - if he’s going to be out for a sustained period, other clubs will know that we will be desperate to sign someone. Sense we won’t hear the extent of RD injury until after the window has closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Just to add a bit of positivity to this proposed signing….could be seen as future proofing any players leaving next summer, e.g. Naismith. FWIW I don’t think he’s awful, just I think the combo of Vyner and Dickie is superior to a combo with McNally in it. At 24 he’s a good age too, coming towards his peak years.

Negan Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 So Burnley wanted 3 million originally, I can’t see them asking for much less than that? If he does come in surely that isn’t for competition. Thats a starting fee for us at CB. Think he’d cost more than Vyner, Dickie, Roberts, Naismith and Atkinson combined no? Would much rather we got the Nelson lad in on loan for a season for that price. Has to hit the ground running and somehow keep Dickie and Vyner out. Take some doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
