Allegedly around 18m - 20m according to those ‘over the road’ including Bobby

Bid rejected for Clarke

Agreed. I would like to see KLD tweet “Burnley can fuck right off”

Me neither, but (hypothetically) if we accepted 9m for our best player questions have to be asked. As that bid is an absolute joke.

The latter. The number of people who haven't cottoned on that were no longer interested in selling anything not nailed down for peanuts is incredible.There is either financial issues behind the scenes that those in football know about and we don't. Or everyone still thinks we're the Sunderland of a couple of years ago

Probably not, but I doubt Millwall are paying Fleming that (linked with a £15m move away) or Bristol City are paying Scott that (linked with a £20m move away).
Why sack Durban
Winger
So are the number of people who haven’t cottoned on that we won’t pay the wages that a 20m player can command

Aye thankfully those clowns have gone.

Fleming is going though isn't he?
I'm just using that example as a reason why harte and Clarke will like the bids. Gives them strength to go and ask for a new contract.

I'll be pissed off if he goes for anything around that kind of pitiful fee. Leicester are flogging players for £20-40m and they are a championship club now. I know the players they sold are better and that but £9m for one of out best players? No chance man
How often should we respond if they keep bidding in twenty pence increments?

Why should the club even comment on it, its made up shite from a newspaper man

Just find it bizarre, its a stupid bid and I dont think they'd be carrying on in this manner for no reason. I just can't understand the reason at the minute.

What if Clarke turns round and says match the wages Burnley are offering if you value me more than them?If I were Mowbray or Speakman, I’d be having a chat with Clarke and let him know that Burnley clearly don’t rate him very highly if they’re refusing to meet our asking price.

We’d then turn around to Burnley and say ‘I hope you haven’t been offering wages without agreeing a fee with us beforehand.’
A lot of turning around going on here.

Tapping up was a huge issue back in 05 - these days it happens and it's apparantly accepted.

Then he'd turn round and say stop being childish?

No ..... they wouldn't. Most footballers who played for Burnley might choose to live in Accrington, though .

Downie saying third bid £9m
