The one in my work stopped me last week to spend 10 minutes telling me how insanely good his passing was. Compared his long range passing to Gerrard.

After another MOTM award, surely an England call-up can't be far off. Burnley now 6th, in no small measure due to Tarkowski's form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he was signed before Shez was first sacked, but Shez didn’t play him much.... he became a fixture under Dickov, admittedly at RB.... but the club messed it up one way or another. Ditto Matt Smith.... albeit he didn’t look like much of an asset until the FA Cup games. Add Taylor, Tarky & Dale Stephens to the mix and you would say we’ve let too many very good players leave for not enough return over last 5 years. One hopes we might get better at it with new owners who clearly understand the player market.... the major concern -without understand the new owners modus operandi - being the club may still not be the primary beneficiary.

Some fair in that, some not. Nobody wanted to offer Matt Smith a 3 year deal on a living wage until after the point he was free to sign a pre-contract after his Scouse-battering antics. Taylor had decided to leave and didn't sign a contract that would have lowered his next wage, and I don't blame him. We certainly have lost money through selling sell ons though. They are only a worthwhile strategy as part of your youth development if you are able to hold out for the big one IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have liked to have see us gamble - by awarding a decent contract - to one of Lee, Stephens or Tarky - on the basis the intention was to sell for good money. Alas we didn’t on any, which indicates poor planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas we didn’t on any, which indicates poor planning. I suppose the knack is to know which of your average players/duffers are going to turn out ok. The roll call of players we've quite reasonably not been sad to see go but who've done well since makes me think we could have ended up with a lot of shit players on big money. I'd rather gamble on the good ones we've sold on to bigger clubs, they seem to know their business and wouldn't be trying to buy out clauses if they weren't testing out our needs for cashflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
