Harry Wilson

[BenWickes]

Just read them. Surprising. Can't say I watched much of his overall game when he was with them, just saw he scored a few goals, so thought they would be more complimentary.

Contradicting what Liverpool fans think of him on the Liverpool Echo.

'This guy is a very good player'
'Not (Liverpool) giving him a fair crack of the whip'

[BenWickes]

Well Dyche has said we have to sell first in order to bring players in hasn’t he?

Nope.

[RMutt]

I don't think he has.

I thought I’d read it somewhere but I stand corrected if he hasn’t.

[SGr]

Nixon hinting that our offer is about £10m off the valuation...

[groove]

I don't know much about him. Is he better than Jon Flanagan?

[RMutt]

Nope.

I can’t believe I’m linking to the blasted Mail, but knowing them they probably made the whole thing up anyway.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits they're battling to land their transfer targets ….Dyche said "Ours has often been lastminute.com; SELL FIRST, BUY SECOND, that kind of thinking. That's the way the club is. When you know what you have to manage you manage it the best you can."

Those comments from Sean Dyche were made 4/5 days ago and were widely reported in the national media.

I didn't see a huge amount of him but read quite a few reports that suggested he didn't contribute enough beyond goals (quite a few from free kicks I think).

Wouldn't be disappointed if we got him though. He may or may not turn out to be good but it's the kind of signing we need to look at. (Although I wouldn't have been disappointed if we'd signed Ibe this week so maybe I'm just getting desperate.)

[Stayingup]

Not sure about the pipe smoking but ......

He was Left Winger though wasn't he?

But that doesn’t equate to him saying we definitely have to sell before we can buy right now.

[FactualFrank]

Mcneil and Wilson on the wings with Stephens and Westwood in the centre? Yes bloody please

With Cork and Brownhill fighting for their starting spot.

That wasn't a serious response. He was having a larf at our transfer policy. When was the last time we had to sell to buy? It's been a while.

[kentonclaret]

Having a larf or otherwise that was what Sean Dyche said at a Press Conference that was being disputed by some.

Sean used it as humour, maybe, but knowing that there was sense of reality in those remarks as well.

[Tall Paul]

Yeah, those comments aren't the same as him saying we need to sell before we can buy.

[Fretters]

Mcneil and Wilson on the wings with Stephens and Westwood in the centre? Yes bloody please

It will take a lot for Stephens to dislodge Brownhill.

[RMutt]

Well Dyche shouldn’t be so flippant when talking to the Daily Mail then. A lot of people are taken in by their headlines.

[FCBurnley]

Not researched this but it does seem to me that ex Liverpool players don’t tend to set the world on fire. Maybe that’s because they keep the good uns. Having said that he will be a huge improvement on nowt

He said “often” have to sell to buy.
Not always and in reality it’s not actually been the case has it under his tenure.
Which of his incoming transfers did we have to sell players to fund ?

The little digs he is making at every press conference are getting a bit tiresome now to be honest. I’m convinced he does it to get supporters and media on his side.

He’s the best manager we have had in my lifetime but let’s not forget that Burnley have also given him by far the best period of his playing and managerial career.

Who isn't?!

He's also said we were in the market for Messi. Did you think there was an element of truth in that?

[jedi_master]

Nixon’s comments suggest we certainly aren’t anything like ‘closing in’.

Let us hope he’s wrong.

[RMutt]

Obviously the timelines are not exactly sell/buy, but it could be argued that any of Ings, Trippier, Keane, Gray, etc helped to pay for subsequent signings. We can’t throw money at those types of players in order to keep them at Burnley so those deals are more crucial to our club in order to keep us going. Obviously I too am hoping we don’t need to sell Tarkowski.

[Steddyman]

Yes please. The sort of player we need to be linked with to pose a threat going forwards.

[ashtonlongsider]

Wilson might be a good dead ball specialist, but that apart I can't say i've been overly impressed. How many Liverpool players in the modern era leave Anfield and are a success? I can't think of many.

[FactualFrank]

Like I say I hope we aren't jumping the gun here and it's far from close. There's bound to be other club(s) that are interested and compete us for him.

[ŽižkovClaret]

I'd hope if it is to be a decent fee, a sizeable proportion would be in the form of add-ons based on games, goals, caps, PL status, sell on % / Buy back clauses etc.

[TVC15]

Suarez
Ings
Mascherano

Probably more but I know what you mean.
The best exponent at this was of course Sir Alex. He got rid of so many players for decent money knowing they were never going to be good enough for United but cos he’d played them a couple of times in a Carling Cup game he had the ability to cast a mythical spell over the negotiations and get clubs like Everton to pay a million pounds for John O Kane etc etc !!

Assume you mean youngsters and not the likes of Suarez and Coutinho.

Raheem Sterling, Conor Coady?

[Papabendi]

Wilson doesn't generally get a great write up by Bournemouth fans other than for his set pieces.

A young lad called Harry Wilson has done well during 3 loan spells and at international level.

Woah, JOK was, is a legend!

Woah, JOK was, is a legend!

When he was on loan to Burnley he was beyond awful !! He looked like we’d asked one of the fans to play - and not one of the better ones !!

And boy, didn't we get lumbered with some United rubbish!

Burnley Substantial Distance From Harry Wilson Asking Price
It has been claimed they will need to put a 1 in front of the proposal.

Sounds like a £9 million bid then, if that's the case.

That’s our favourite distance!!

[ŽižkovClaret]

City kids haven't done too bad for us . I'd be reluctant to judge who we sign now than in previous eras

[Pearcey]

Sounds like this could be another damp squib. Suggestions are we're miles apart on valuation. You never know but can’t see this happening.

[Danieljwaterhouse]

I’m only messing, he’s one of my pals, and yeah he wasn’t great, but his Achilles had gone by then. He’s a top guy now though

[Gordaleman]

That’s our favourite distance!!

Just following government guidlines and keeping their distance.

[claretandy]

I think we've made an inquiry and Liverpool have leaked it to flush out other bidders.

[Gordaleman]

Isn't that what every club does?

[Jakubclaret]

I think we've made an inquiry and Liverpool have leaked it to flush out other bidders.

That’s standard practice you don’t even need to make an enquiry, it’s common knowledge the positions we need to strengthen any player within reason it’s believable & enough to spark rival interest.

[Vegas Claret]

it's all a smoke screen. We've actually gone in for Mane

[claretandy]

Isn't that what every club does?

Brighton didn't/haven't.

We didn't with Tarks, all the leaks have come from Wet Spam.

[Gordaleman]

How do you know we didn't with Tarks? That said, maybe he's perfectly happy where he is?

[claret59]

If this is the same Harry Wilson who was on loan at Hull City a couple of seasons ago then he was highly rated as a player. Also represented that Club well in public forums . A very decent bloke by all accounts.

[brexit]

Can't wait for the "new leighton James" thread from the zinmmers.

[Silkyskills1]

Can't wait for the "new leighton James" thread from the zinmmers.

Guessing I fall into said category and there is nothing comparable.between the two.players.

[KRBFC]

Why another thread?
