slartibartfast Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Burnley Fair do to him. What an absolute sh*t hole! So without trawling through, is that right he 'favorited' a tweet that he could do better then us? One thing, don't think the lads will need any motivation next week ! Oh, and to Andre, in the true thespian tradition...."Break a leg", and I mean thi most sincerely, folks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 He did, then undid it. Total lack of class. Could you imagine how livid SC would be if our player did that Yeah I suppose. It kind of sums up what he must be like as a person. Its a very arrogant atittude. To be fair, get the impression he is whoring himself out to any club that will have him and who will pay the most Ok they have had Premier League experience, but I wouldnt exactly call Burnley a huge step up from us. As for us, we need to take a serious look at what we can realistically get. It was personal terms that we fell down on with this player....so that says to me that we arnt paying the wages. I cant imagine he will be on astronomical wages at Burnley....as they like us, operate within a wage structure. However if we are not prepared to pay top Championship wages....then we need to stop wasting our time on top Championship players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if we are not prepared to pay top Championship wages....then we need to stop wasting our time on top Championship players I really don't think it's wages. I think it will be more to do with release clauses, for example, if we failed to get promoted then the player could leave for a set fee. Perhaps this set fee that the agent wanted was lower than, or the same as what we paid whereas we wanted the fee to be higher, or didn't want the clause altogether. To me, that makes the most sense. It would make sense for the player to want the clause, it would make sense for us to try not to have it and it would likely be a deal breaker after a day or so of negotiations.

Its all about opinions I guess. Something dont quite feel right about this one though. I just get that feeling that there was never any intention of him coming to us, and we were used as a pawn to force the hands of other club like Hull or ....as we can now see, Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I reckon we would have offered him a longer deal but Burnley, his agent thinks, will get him to the prem faster, then a bigger club, sooner than us. Either way he views both teams as a stepping stone although from what i have seen of him i doubt he will cut it in the Prem; another Gayle type; close but not a Remington. City will have him in their pocket if he plays against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 At least they'll be overpaying now and not us! Will be a lot happier now if we go down the foreign route. Andre Gray didn't exactly set the world on fire last year. Had he done then the Prem clubs would be beating a path to his door. 9M was way over the top. For less than half that we can acquire players with greater potential from abroad who will set the world on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
