Unfortunately doomed to failure, greed will make sure of that. The old chestnut "it's a short career you have to make all you can during it" will sway most against putting their career first. See Bridcutt, Buckley and Stephens as Albion examples. FFS most of NSC use the argument "if someone...

Has Norwood had enough game time to suggest that he cannot link with Kayal? What sort of message does it send out to the other players if Stephens is straight back in? Or are people suggesting we would have won at Newcastle with Stephens in midfield? That is a big leap given how outclassed we...

Yeah great, 8 million in the coffers and a midfielder light at the end of the window. Stupid and petulant action by Stephens who should have done it months ago if he was that determined to leave.

What he has written is very coherent and true though

Love to know the thinking behind waiting until the morning that the transfer window closed to put in a transfer request. Agent advice? Sack the agent. His idea? Quite gormless. Let's see what happens, after appearing to be very dignified for a number of months Stephens seems to have thrown a...

TB loves a gamble and this is exactly what we have here. Get it right and he and we reap the rewards of promotion, get it wrong and he not we has lost a further 6 million. If CH can manage Stephens and he gets his head down it could be a master stoke, on the other hand it could rock the boat...

I have just seen Stephens tweet in full. Not expecting him to be going the extra mile this season. Shame Burnley didn't offer sensible money as I think we'd be better off without him having read his tweet. Sounds pretty bitter

I think I read according to Norwood they hadn't even mentioned a new contract so that will be a big fat NO

I loved Gary Stevens the player but I have never forgiven him for his comment during the dark days after a tour/visit to the Goldstone with David Bellotti along the lines of " seems like a nice guy with the best interests of the club at heart" Is he a bit thick?

You chose to make some very facetious comments a couple of days ago when I suggested that Burnley were a cheapskate club in the way that they had tried to get DS. Now you are struggling to sympathise with wantaway Stephens and using the same argument :smile: FWIW I agree with what you have...

Exactly, not talking corporate bollocks is now seen as "refreshing" it seems. Even if it still doesn't hide the fact that he chose not to put in a transfer request until the last minute. Blame lies squarely at Stephens feet that he is still here, mis spelt tweet with no corporate speak or not.

He will also be jumped on by some fans if he has a bad run of form. I will be very sruprised if he is the player he was last season tbh

If he'd slapped in his transfer request a couple of months ago I suggest that he would have been sold. I have absolutely no sympathy for him and as said elsewhere waiting until the last minute to do it was possibly driven by greed. It's not as if he is some poorly paid player at the bottom of...

If you are relying on him coming to you next summer when you are back in the Championship you are a dreamer :smile: Will you be offering him Premier league wages in this pre contract btw? Anyway we appear to reached 101 pages on this thread.

No but his wife might think like that.

Plan C is probably a League One striker so best avoided given our record with them :lolol:

At this stage I'd settle for that

Which is where plan B comes in??

A 2016 Porsche won't buy itself you know.

I wonder if we have been using the Burnley negotiating technique? Derisory offers with small increments over three months until the 11th hour and then glum faces all around to find it has been left too late...again :smile:
