Maybe I'm a cynic but, as long as these numbers are correct, I feel like this will be some clever accounting to help us/Burnley FFP wise. His release clause doesn’t kick in until the last year of his contract which starts June 1st, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Good luck to JB. I've always rated him and it's been great to see him develop over the years. Sounds like a good move for him too; back to the NW and at a well run club with a good manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 40 minutes ago, Robbored said: Not at all - SSN have a network of reporters especially interested in PL clubs and if Burnley are having a medical for Brownhill then it’s true - unlike social media which is more likely to be speculation. That’s ludicrous. These days a tweet from a Telegraph reporter carries as much weight as a report on SSN (if not a bit more, actually). You're confusing an unreliable source with an unreliable medium and have totally painted yourself into a metaphorical corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturny Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Bad feeling the gap JB will leave will be very evident in matches. But then again I had that feeling when Pack left... LJ and Ashton are good at filling in the gaps with better quality. Maybe the answer for the JB replacement is already in the club. What do people think?

I have a feeling that both Nagy & Massengo have been restricted in their roles here, I think they are a lot more forward thinking than what we have seen & they have been playing deeper through instructions. This might just allow one of them a bit of freedom now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I had that feeling when Pack left... On one occasion in the second half v Reading, we lost the ball in attack and they countered at speed. JB sprinted back 70 yards to our penalty area and eventually cleared the ball. I've absolutely no problem with him going and wish him all of the very best - I like Josh - however, we need to ensure that he's replaced by someone with the same 100% commitment to the team cause otherwise we'll suffer. Some have suggested KP - and I like him too - but if it's to be Kasey then he mustn't reach halfway on his way back to defend and give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Tuesday night: Johnson also gave an update regarding the fitness of missing midfielder Adam Nagy. The Hungarian international has an ankle complaint, but thankfully an operation should not be needed to correct the problem that is a reoccurrence of the previous complaint. "No I don't think he'll need an operation at this stage," said Johnson. "Because it's not actually directly in the same point of the ankle. "It might be the domino effect of over compensating on one side of the ankle. But at the same time we don't expect him to be out for a long spell," he added.

There are good and bad sources on Twitter, as there are on OTIB or in the newspapers. There is no difference. Your refusal to listen to any rumours and to wait for an official announcement has already gone of course, as you’ve unilaterally decided that Sky is a source always to be trusted (hahahaha).

The hand of RO'D Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 We have midfielders to fill the JB sized hole that's about to arise, in Nagy HNM Smith & Palmer. Also with 2 very capable midfielders in Walsh and Morrell out on loan ready to step up. I'd be very surprised if we brought in another midfielder before the window closes.

I wouldn’t mind a loan for rest of season. Example that Hutchinson from SW with their finances and we give them small loan fee and pay his wages for rest of season think helps both clubs out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t we sign JB on a free, when he was out of contract with PNE. Not sure they will have negotiated any sell on fee. On the other hand I hope we do with JB. COYR.
