http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/10/por-burnley-bid-for-hull-target-gray/? Burnley has bid, but the Hat has just added his bit i think
Burnley ready to pay up to £9 million with add on's, don't believe it, they didn't pay that type of cash out when they were in the PL, sure as hell they not going to pay it out in the championship on one player.
Very impressive, but means clubs will see us coming, as Brentford are doing. Didn't their manager say that Gray's goal on Saturday added 5m to his price tag?
All their supporters are on twitter rubbishing the story because you're exactly right, they don't have that sort of money.
Lol, and if we'd paid 9m on the opening day of the window for him people would have moaned about us over paying.
True, but there's a balance though ... and this one has dragged on far too long now. Either do the deal or move on and sign another goalscorer.
Not to mention the opportunity for his great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grand kids to say that he played for the most successful club in English football.
Spot on, most Burnley fans on there forum's are saying they would not get involved in a bidding war were your opening bid has to be somewhere north of £ 8 million, would not be surprised if this rumour has come from the same stable as the one about PL club being interested in Odubajo one, one thing for sure is I'll be glad when this is over one way or another getting fed up with it and with Brentford to be honest.
It's £7m with £2m addons, still a fair bit but big difference. If the addons are all activated we'll be in the Premier League and £2m will be nothing
Why do we always seem to **** up when we have the opportunity to sign a striker with great potential? We did the same thing with Charlie Austin and now his valuation is triple what we could have bought him for. Just sign him up City ffs!
Except not signing Austin was the right thing to do. It's incredibly easy to say things like that in hindsight.
Agreed. Charlie Austins knee might break down tomorrow, it might break down when he's 35, it might never, it could have happened any time. I also have massive doubt Austin would have scored half the goals here that he did at QPR anyway, and people would have been saying he's out of his depth.
What? Due to 'that' shoulder injury that hasn't seen him miss a game since? Personally I think our medical team were still paranoid over the Bullard situation.
Point taken about the transfer fee, my point is look back at Burnley's transfer history they just don't spend big its something they have never done, what they seam to do and have done very well is buy for a decent price and sell big.
