Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Could Brett be off on loan? http://www1.skysport...g-for-loan-deal I suspect that with only 1 year left on his contract it would have to be a short term loan with an agreed fee if the loan is successful, otherwise very little in it for us to be honest.

citywest30 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hope so personally. Would free up a bit more cash for the cd we need. And until akos signs elsewhere still haven't given up hope on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 For me that will be mugging us off. Loan him until he becomes a free agent? No ta. Unless we slap on a 250k loan fee until jan and agree a 500k transfer in jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hasn't he 2 years left? If we could get some sort of fee for a loan till Jan or the season and have wages paid then sell next summer would be a no brainer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why not extend Brett's contract by two years, then send him out on loan to get some game time under his belt. If he comes back in six months and has banged in 10 goals for Burnley then get him back in the team, if it doesn't work out, sell him on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why would he sign an extension! Oh I agree completely, but it depends if it's money or playing time he's after I guess. However, can't see him being offered a contract extension anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Less than one year left now. If that's the case then it'd need to be a decent loan fee but if that was the case why not accept it as a perm fee. Not sure it's talking about Brett then.

Less than one year left for our 5th choice striker who signed for £800k and has been generally poor. Loan him out for £100k and save his 6k per week(ish) wages - roughly £300k overall.

havanatopia Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Could Brett be off on loan? http://www1.skysport...g-for-loan-deal Not if both managers have it the way they want it; Burnley only want a loan and Del, apparently, would only consider a permanent deal and only then if the price is right, obviously. Pitman needs to try and get back in the team by fighting hard which I hope and feel he is doing.... BURNLEY manager Eddie Howe is targeting a loan signing before the transfer window closes on Friday night. Wigan striker Callum McManaman and Swansea City forward Stephen Dobbie have been linked with the Clarets . Brett Pitman could also be an option for Howe as he looks to bolster his front line before the 11pm deadline. But it is likely that Bristol City would only be interested in a permanent deal for the former Bournemouth striker, who has slipped down the pecking order under manager Derek McInnes, and Howe confirmed that, at the moment, he is only looking at loans.

Correct me if someone knows I'm wrong - but if the transfer is at our behest and unless we can strike a deal with the player/ Burnley on this... if we choose to sell Brett we have to pay up the rest of his contract. As I say, often a deal will be struck with the buying club for this though. Hence there's a big deal about handing in transfer requests - if you do that, it invalidates your claim to have your contract paid up. Off topic, but I had that little bit of knowledge reinforced by reading "I am the secret footballer". Interesting, well written book giving an insight behind the scenes. Recommended.

Know the Score Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 At the moment only looking at loans - Howe said, now why would a club that's just earned a substantial amount of wonga from previous sales of Rodriguez and Eagles, not to mention the 1M+ they just received for Fletchers move to Sunderland...just be looking a loans! Are Burnely struggling? Or just lost ambition? I just want a permanant deal for Brett, he defiantly surplus to requirements..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter who's behest its at; if a player is sold the contract ends and starts a new one with his new club. There is no 'paying up of contracts' in the context to which you speak unless the guy is asked to leave to get him off the wage bill.. bit like we did, as i understand it, with Hunt.

Are Burnely struggling? Or just lost ambition? I just want a permanant deal for Brett, he defiantly surplus to requirements..... Burnley are going to run out of their parachutes soon, if i am not mistaken. I read an article when they got relegated from the Prem that suggested they were a very well run club and that they had planned for relegation; in a more recent article at the beginning of this season it was muted that they were indeed short of cash. Frankly, and as far as I am aware, Burnley is a privately owned club and the owners only need to submit abbreviated accounts to Companies House so how some hack can know if they are short of cash or not, 100%, is beyond me and certainly one needs to take such reports with a pinch of salt. Perhaps the club leaks such info to try and force prices down on incoming transfers or lower fans' expectations, who knows. And who knows anything about any club other than tit bits we read and sometimes believe in the press. I mean did anybody know that Ferguson made a bid for Carroll before he went to Liverpool and for a reported similar asking price? Carroll chose Liverpool instead.. not reported was it? But could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we slap on a 250k loan fee until jan and agree a 500k transfer in jan. For me it'll be saving us fairly high wages. We're not going to use Pitman, it's not doing him or us good to have him kicking around the place, so best get someone else to pay his wages for the season and let him move on.

bristolcitysweden Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 A short term loan (maximum 2 months) would put our current nr 5 in pecking order back on track. We all now he got goals in him and once we get a side capable of playing good football more constantly he will score for fun. No criticism as things are improving.

Port Said Red Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Real shame Can't keep them all and I honestly believe the quality has been improved since he came here. I can't say that he has improved at all as a player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leepeacock's50phead Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Less than a year left on his contract?! Surely we either sell quick, or renew it He doesn't seem part of dels plans and his value will only depreciate from here on in Is no-one at the club on the ball with this? After the Maynard affair you would hope they would have been a little more savvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
