Always Believesham Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Sky Sports News feed... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8034088/Clarets-eye-Pitman-move Quickly disappeared though... Now it has re-appeared " Sky Sports understands that Burnley are eyeing a move for Bristol City striker Brett Pitman from Bristol City. Pitman has spent the past couple of years at Ashton Gate but could be allowed to leave before Friday's transfer deadline as the Robins have strengthened their attacking options this summer." " The Clarets have lost Danny Ings and Martin Paterson to injury and are thought to be keen on getting another forward in this week." Hardley surprising How much?

Superjack Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 His most likely destination... I would hope at least 800k, but probably would be 500k max. Not that we would know... it would be undisclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 The 1m sell on they got from Wolves for Fletcher going to Sunderland would do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfctim Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Probably worth about £500k but would like to see us push them for a bit more what with the money they've got from the sales of Rodriguez and Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 £500k at least, I'm a big Pitman fan but if our strikers can keep up their current form, it'll be difficult for him to get on the bench, let alone in the starting 11. He is a great finisher and due to his lack of chances, I think coming to City was a bad move in hindsight. He should have gone to Blackpool where their style of play would have suited him much more. Eddie Howe will know how to get the best out of him and he'll score a decent amount for them. Shame to see him go if it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess pitman should of chased the money, god knows why you wouldnt go to a prem team, even if they are offering less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidebet Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Let him go, we signed 2 strikers who had to settle for bench last week, and baldock scores on his debut. Scored some vital goals for us and if he goes i wish him luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JammyOne Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Anything over £500K bite their hand off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'd take £500,000 plus Due to Age, Contract, Championship games:goals ratio and Burnley's desperation I reckon he's worth anything from £500,000 - £1.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Cash in now. He's worth more now than he will be in Jan or at the end of the season when he'll be out of contract. As 5th choice he wont sign a new deal and isn't going to gain any value by playing and scoring regularly. Sell him now, hit the season with 4 strikers in the squad and if we have an injury crisis just get someone in on loan to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraysrightplum Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 450-650K IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hahaha! Get real guys. There is no way we will get over 500k. 1. We bought him for 800k and he has been average 2. He is our 5th choice striker and Burnley know that 3. Most importantly, he is in the last year of his contract The last point is becoming more and more important in football. If we sell for nothing then we save around £200k in wages so I would guess he will go for £200-300k or on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 200k? Are you sucking me dry!?? If you pay well enough. In 9 months time he will be worth less than a Mars Bar. Why would a team pay 500k or more after taking into account the other points I made? Think you are being a tad unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average but has had limited chances and has proven he's at least a decent Championship footballer. Eddie Howe also knows this, having worked with Brett before. 2. We don't need to sell, Burnley badly need a striker after injures. 3. Maynard was in the last year of his and we rejected a £6.5M bid, this time last year.

Lew-T Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 He is clearly proven at this level, one of the best finishers in the league and still has years to improve his game. I am a big fan of Brett, it's just a same it hasn't worked out for him here. Should be looking to sell around the 700k mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitman's got an excellent strike rate at this level, is still young and known to their boss. It'll come down to how much they need to sign him and if he wants the move much more so than contract length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Leicester's profligate spending spree as justification is unbelievably stupid. £500k would be entirely reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread RedDave's response to your post, apologies. The chances of us getting back what we paid is small, Burnley won't be throwing money at the issue when Paterson will be fit after the international break an they've got two other perfectly good strikers.

Uncle Albert Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 No, we didn't. Do you really think the club would be that stupid? Come on. I have to admit, looking back at it, we were a bit naive to think that City would turn down that much money for him knowing that what happened, could have happened. £6.5M would have paid the entire wage bill for half the year, or, I would presume, bought most of our current squad of players for that amount of money combined.

Chappers Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I go with £250K - £400K as realistic, can't see him playing much and it will get him off the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
