Icelander83 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It's either that or come home, from interviews I'm not sure he's too keen on coming home if he can find something to do in England. Wouldn't be too surprised to see him take up some sort of PFA role tbf, think he was the middle man between the PFA and the Pompey players when he was there. At least he had some sort of role in that sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Hacker Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Quite excited to see how McInnes spends the money this summer...especially with Jamo off the books. Bit surprised to see Carey offered a new deal, even though he is a legend. Hopefully it's for virtually 0 money Why does that surprise you? Imagine the backlash if he'd've let Carey go as he's only 20 or so appearances away from breaking the record. Also, he can still do a job as a motivator when his legs do fail him so I'd fully expect him to have a contract for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 If we sold our player of the season (and one of the best players in our team) it would be frustrating/gutting/dis-heartening and be typical of Burnley.

Barkermush Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Trippier is class, we got him at a bargin. His defending/positioning can be a bit suspect at times, due to him getting forward alot, he can leave us open (but we were used to that from Mears) But he's got much better touch/control over the ball than Mears (skins players like a winger) he's got some decent speed and a decent cross too. Although he's tiny, he's not afraid to get stuck in and he's a very feisty player, always talking to the defence/keeper (tells players off too, if they do something wrong) and he never stops working all the time he's on the pitch. He was brought up well through the Man City Academy... one of the best right backs in the League imo. We must keep hold of Trippier, I believe his value will only go up (he's still got 3 years with us) and we could probably get more money in the future (if we need to sell) than what Southampton will be offering now.

Unknown Hacker Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 One level, not two. Saints signed him from a fellow League One club.

Barkermush Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Because he was the only left back we had. (Easton was not even good enough to be a back up) Eddie Howe had said to the press the week before that there would be no more departures from our small squad. Then the board accept an offer for Fox (which wasn't much more than we paid for him) citing it was too good to turn down, and that every Burnley player was available at the right price. This was on top of the Eagles and Mears sale, and not even making an attempt to make the Cork move permanent. Fans bit their tongues (Eagles and Mears were in the final year of their contracts, and we gave McCann big wages to stay) but the Fox sale was one too far. After all the 'promotion taglines' to get fans to renew their season tickets, then we sold all our better players. Fans hit out at Fox sale Two weeks before the season started we were hit with the news that both Chris Eagles and Tyrone Mears had been given permission to speak to Bolton Wanderers. It was met with a mixed response by supporters. Most were disappointed that two regular members of the team were set to leave but there was some understanding given that they'd refused to sign new deals and, one year on, would be allowed to walk for free.At the time we were already on the lookout for new players with only Ben Mee, on loan from Manchester City, added to the squad, and manager Eddie Howe confirmed that these two players , Eagles and Mears, would be replaced. He was true to his word. Almost immediately, in fact before the two had signed for Bolton, Mears was replaced by another young Manchester City player in Kieran Trippier and a week later Keith Treacy arrived from Preston North End to take Eagles' place in the squad. So, we were back to where we started before the Eagles/Mears story broke, still needing to bring players in and with the manager now saying, via a newspaper article, that no more players would be leaving. That was a relief given the speculation surrounding Martin Paterson but the season kicked off last week with no further sales although, sadly, there had been no more additions to the squad. Since last season we've lost Steven Thompson, Graham Alexander, Clarke Carlisle, Chris Iwelumo, Eagles and Mears with just the three coming in. I haven't included Kevin McDonald and Remco van der Schaaf given they weren't really part of the squad but even without those two the simple maths tell you that we are three players down. Still, the natives (the Burnley fans) were hardly restless and a comeback against Watford following a win in a crazy game against Burton Albion had started to fill people with confidence. That was boosted even further with Howe saying just yesterday that we are in talks with players and they are ongoing. "I feel we are getting close and talks are ongoing," he said. "We've known who we wanted all summer and it's a case of waiting for the ones we want. I think the foolish thing to do would be to jump and get someone just because they're available." I wasn't expecting the talks with any of those players to come to fruition today but I sure as hell didn't expect to be revealing on this site that another player had gone. Then I received a text. It was, shall we say, to the point. "Fox going? What the f***!!!" and there it was on a message board thread that he was on his way to Southampton. I knew they'd made offers for both him and Jay Rodriguez but I certainly wasn't expecting that news today. I was amazed and I'm angry that another player has been allowed to leave at such a ridiculous time. Earlier I wrote that our squad had been decimated, and that's how it looks to me. Unlike the Eagles and Mears sales, this one has not brought the same sort of understanding from the fans, far from it, and rightly so. The angry response has been staggering with most of the criticism aimed at the board. The club have responded with a statement that, let's face it, has served no purpose whatsoever and, if anything, has made things worse. Losing Wade Elliott at the final hour of the transfer window, summed up that transfer window for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
