real_bristol Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Are we in a position to turn £7m down? I mean it’s a lot of money and we have a plethora of centre mids at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I might be over optimistic, but I think at £7m he is under valued. I think ( as @Davefevs ) has said, nearer £10m seems right. If that is the opening offer then it might get near it. reasonable amount of time left on his contract, and being January when prices are usually higher, I can see it reaching the £10m area. At that price , hard to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 £7m seems a bit low, especially at a key time of the season. Or is it £7m plus loan/swap of a player in return- some mentioned Gibson, some mentioned Vydra- both would be good additions. Perhaps this was a sloppy bit in the Times and it meant Burnley were keen on Brownhill, not Eliasson...or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 18 minutes ago, Davefevs said: I think £7m is fair, but I’m out of touch, and Ashton drives a hard bargain. Dependent on make up of any deal, likely to be around £10m (say £7m + £3m add-ons or £10m straight off), as well as the obligatory 20% sell-on. If we had to sell then 7 million might be ok. But I think because we don't have to sell, that's why we manage to get good money for our players. 7 million for a 24 year old who is prem quality (in Burnley's opinion) is not much. Agree something around 9-12 seems more likely. If 7 million was first offer then I'd be amazed if it was that he goes for. Would you then but a new one in? I'd hope we'd give Morrell a chance. Has a recall option? I guess Rowe is that position too and looked solid, but in a game that maybe suited him yesterday. So not sure we really need to buy one. Loan in would not be bad move if the right one is available cheap. If we could convince Chelsea to recall Gallagher, a player I felt we should have been after in the first place! But then can't see why they'd do that when he's settled and playing at Charlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing we don’t know is how much Josh wants to go (if rumour true). 7 million for a 24 year old who is prem quality (in Burnley's opinion) is much. Agree something around 9-12 seems more likely. If 7 million was first offer then I'd be amazed if it was that he goes for. Yep, tears why I said some deal around the £10m mark. Would you then but a new one in? I'd hope we'd give Morrell a chance. Has a recall option? Nope, bring Morrell back, and keep powder dry for the summer, or to give us the edge financially for that striker we are after. I guess Rowe is that position too and looked solid, but in a game that maybe suited him yesterday. if we go 4141, we have plenty of ‘midfielders’ So not sure we really need to buy one. Loan in would not be bad move if the right one is available cheap. If we could convince Chelsea to recall Gallagher, a player I felt we should have been after in the first place!

mozo Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 He's a player that we won't need to replace by buying a new player so maybe we need the 7m cash to buy a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city1983 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don’t get the love in with brownhill. He’s a decent championship midfielder, but £7m would be a great bit of business on our part imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 "Don't forget about Callum O'Dowda! He plays central midfield for the Republic of Ireland you know. And as has totally remained the same since the 40's, playing the likes of Trashcanistan is the HIGHEST level of Football" Thanks Callum. We have Nagy, Massengo, Smith, Rowe, O'Dowda, Morton Nvm Walsh and Morrell While Brownhill is the proven best of them... happy to trade (if price is good) where we're strongest (numbers wise but quality IMO too) to sign where we're weakest. Especially if we bypass midfield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I saw some Post article, skim-read it- apologies, may have been mentioned, but it suggested the valuation for Brownhill was £25m?? Pure guesswork, surely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Brownhill has scored some fantastic goals ,proving his skill. He is rarely injured , that nasty bruise on his foot apart , and has both potential and immense experience at Championship level. Didn’t Bryan go for six million with next to nothing on his contract ? 7 seems a bit low for Josh in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Get £9m/10m for Brownhill, use the money on a striker now or in the summer and naturally bring through Morrell into the first team set up. That’s what should happen if we are serious about this pathway thing LJ/MA bang on about yet rarely actually prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Also equalled his leading goals in a Championship season- albeit not scored for a little while. He's good- goals, some assists- not bad- at times excellent- technically, energy- can play centrally, wide right or higher up- the latter I think his best position. £7m is too low.

Meh Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 £7M with sell on clause is good business if it releases a decent striker kitty. As others have said, we have cover and must bring Morrell in next season who is the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A key point is that neither of Burnley's regular central midfield two have scored this season, which may be a factor in their alleged interest. We're not a pushover in the transfer market though so I doubt they would meet our likely valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpylegs Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 If we can get anything over and above 7 million for Josh he'll be gone. We all should be used to the fact by now that player sales are an important part of the club's strategy. Although no fan likes to see good players move on, we have to accept that without player sales the club is going to be losing about 20 million per year. Even for someone with deep pockets like our Steve that's not sustainable (or desirable)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 It may not be all bad IF we invest it well- and we can invest it well as I still believe this promotion push is a two year project, not necessarily one. Still loathe to lose him though- and £7m is too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think if Brownihill goes then a player with good footballing skills and a bit of physicality might be needed to bolster the midfield. We have some good ball playing midfielders but Nagy, Massengo, Walsh, Morrell are all quite similar although Morrell does have a bit more bite to his game. I think Taylor Moore might fit the need for a physical presence with decent footballing skills. He is very comfortable on the ball and distributes well. Perhaps he could even play the Marlon Pack role and be an upgrade. I would rather see him played out of position in midfield than O'Dowda and with Korey coming back from a serious injury and picking up strains then maybe TM could be given a chance to shine in the role of the defensive midfielder. Our midfield hasn't linked well with either defence or attack and lacked a bit of bite.. LJ tried Webster in midfield on occasions but we missed him in defence whereas Baker (first choice on current form) plus either Williams or a fit Kallas are in front of TM in the centre back pecking order.

Davefevs Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Please let Taylor Moore develop as a Championship CB first, before we think about playing him elsewhere. He is not in Webster’s class at this point. Smith did a good defensive midfield job yesterday. Morrell, as you say, has bite and played DM for Wales.

Mendip City Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 £7m sounds realistic to me. I imagine he/his agent has no desire to sign a new deal, believing his quickest way to the peen isn’t with us. It’s a prem club, pay rise and back home for him.... what’s not to like, if you’re Josh?

bengalcub Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Really need to start getting players involved in these deals , vydra , gibson , lennon , we struggle to attract players so getting a couple players is more important than the money.
