[Albion] Daily Mail reporting Albion have rejected £4m from Burnley for Dale Stephens

[Zebedee]

Am i blaming anyone.? I said we are weaker which we are than this point last year. You can't see that?

We are most certainly weaker.....I don't see much concrete evidence of ambition at the moment.

 

[nwgull]

I believe they signed 5 players in Jan including 12 million on a striker

Yeh, they did. And it was money so well spent in comparison to our signings that we made up 11 points on them from mid Jan.

Actually all the posts of yours that I replied to centred round Stephens and Middlesbro and they give the impression of wanting to blame someone....still let's move on

I dont get why people think Kayal is so much better than Stephens. Not much in it in my opinion.

And it looks like that Kayal will leave for nothing next summer.

No, he won't.
But thanks for turning up and enlightening us with your meaningless speculation. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Who went up?

If this is true, I hope PW CH and TB know what they are doing.

That old chestnut....so what do you want the club to do to show ambition ...and how would they go about it...etc

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

How very disappointing this is. We will struggle to replace him and continues the underwhelming transfer window thus far.

Kayal was very good Saturday without Stephens next to him,so clearly doesn't bounce off Stephens.
We need midfielders to score more and there's not a lot between them two

Counting the pennies no doubt. We could really do with some good news on the transfers in front....and well before 31 August.

You have no idea do you ?

Clueless.

Are we though? We purchased Skalak and Knockaert in January, and looked much more convincing from then on. We are weaker now compared to the end of the season, but there's time to rectify that.

Up the level of salaries to retain our best talent. It's not difficult. And in the end it'll pay off big-time.

If we are promoted and he does it will not be a major problem as many players will have to be replaced and Kayal could be one of those.

 

[sir albion]

Middlesboro kept there squad together last year and strengthened further. We haven't. That's the difference and why they went up.

We kept our squad together and we've added....early doors and plenty of business to be done.

Naylor says it isn't true so he will be off in the morning

Oh I see...simple as that gosh I thought you had some other master plan....so who funds this? Does it come out of the existing player budget? Do we spend less on new players..so we can't strengthen our squad so we have it in depth...or are you suggesting TB puts a few more million in?....Does this increase only apply to certain players?

 

[Invicta]

If he want's out then taking the cash and replacing him a better option than having him hang around being miserable like Bridcutt & Buckley

Andy Naylor just now on twitter:
Aware of speculation re: Stephens/Burnley being closer to done after alleged improved 4th bid. Assured by reliable source untrue. #bhafc
