We know how this all goes, 5 mins from the deadline we have another Remy moment with no time to get a replacement. [Post edited 23 Jan 2020 22:55]

Pretty sure they signed Clarke as a replacement in case Wells goes |  | |  |

There really is no panic from burnely they have already made a loss on wells the transfer fee wont even break even as huddersfield have a 15% sell on fee 4mill is chicken feed for Burnley these days |  |

I would have thought that would be more to do with insurance in case we lost Bright. Don’t really see Clarke as any kind of replacement for Wells.
Unless the plan if we lose Wells is to play both Bright and Clarke as flying wingers, with the aim of getting masses of crosses in to Hugill. |  | | |

An approach is not a bid. It is certainly possible they enquired as to his availability & valuation, but that does not mean they have made an offer.
BTW, I've seen a few times you mention Freeman moving to Leeds from Sheffield United. Where did this come from please, as I've not seen anything from those two clubs with regard to this? | | | |

Not really.
"But there’s always a break clause, to suit both teams, and the player [...] he is one of ours so we are in control of that situation.”
= If we get a good bid and he fancies it we'll pull him. |  | | |

For context, these quotes were reported in WLS on 10 January, so prior to the spike in interest which may obviously change the situation. |  | | |

What?!!!!!!!!
Why would they or anyone else EVER recall a player for 'no reason'
You're making no sense now and not what those quotes imply at all! | | | |

Have to wait & see I guess - still 'options' available as Mr D points out
Fingers crossed! | | | |

That's my point. All Dyche has said is precisely that, and that if the situation changes in their favour then it will do so. Nothing new that isn't obvious and that we didn't already know. No guarantee that he will stay as you seem to be reading. As proven by the Burnley site posting the same quotes now. | | | |

can't see why he wouldn't, other than it's Jordan's turn to start. Even then I expect him to be on the bench. | |

£4m is not chicken feed for Burnley. Last year they recorded their record profit —Â £36.6m. So $4m for Wells would be more than 10% of that. That's not to be sniffed at. Burnley's average player salary is £1.6m, so £4m is two and a half years' wages for a first team player. That's not money they would want to throw away. | | | |

OK I am missing something here.
Why on earth would any club in this league, barring a sort of Aston Villa from last season type, pay £4m for a 29 yo striker who has 4 months left on his contract? Even if they did, Burnley would not be getting £4m of that - more like £3m after Wells has received money to pay up his contract.
In my view all any club is going to offer is essentially what's left of his wages until the end of the season, and all Burnley can realistically hope for is to recoup that remaining money. Could be wrong, but you'd have to be incredibly silly or desperate to offer anything like that money in the hopes that the 8 goals or so he'd be likely to score between now and Ma is going to win you promotion. | |

which they categorically will not take up on
Extending Well's contract by a year a day before they flip him to Bristol City (for example) will not guarantee them more money due to length of contract as Bristol will already be aware that he's not in Burnley's plans - why would they offer more just because Burnley arbitrarily add a year onto his contract?
What it will do however is almost certainly trigger numerous loyalty payments to Wells, his agent and various other 'downstream' payments to Huddersfield and the like. it would probably cost money to Burnley to take up the option on his contract, and that's not even factoring in the actual cost of wages, which Nakhi could quite happily just decide to pick up and not agree to a move.

Definitely, but clubs still do it all the time and the desperation is realer than ever. The logic will be that this season is a golden opportunity for promotion in terms of weak playing field and for many also a last chance before the FFP paddling they're already guaranteed to get.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a champ club pay £4m in Jan for a 29 yo who is out of contract shortly. Any examples?
As I said, no club likely to offer more than what the remainder of his contract is worth - imo. | |

Nothing that extreme off the top of my head, but I was thinking more of average in-form strikers picked up for the home straight just in case and then inevitably discarded. Gary Madine going to Cardiff for £6m the other year for instance. That mid season purgatory of Leon Bests and Leon Clarkes. [Post edited 24 Jan 2020 17:07]
