Josh Brownhill

[ecc]

If I've missed it I apologise but I can't see a specific thread about Josh Brownhill. He will have been spoken about on other threads.

Now, I'm pretty cynical and we all know how certain agents operate so things may have changed we are unaware of concerning to Josh's relationship with the club BUT I feared he'd be no longer a Burnley today. There would seem to have been genuine interest from PL clubs.

In essence, he could have pushed for a move but his recent comments seem to be sincere ie he's very happy at TM. Whilst I doubt very much he'll end up with 25 goals come the end of the season (4 in 7 extrapolated), I also doubt he'll not score only another goal or two.

He ended last season pretty well and is on a roll this one. He does seem to "get" Burnley and that is something we all love (I think we all do). With the departures of a raft of players who "got" Burnley we need new ones and Josh is clearly one of them.

I think Brownhill wanted to go back to the Prem and had is agent trying to find him a club but there were no takers so he's ours until at least Jan

[Pommieclaret]

If media are to believed Wolves and Leeds were told nothing doing Josh not for sale

[Woodleyclaret]

Not one of his better games tonight
We needed Benny not Barnes to seal the win

He’s having a good season Brownhill. But why would anyone go for him?

He’s going to cost a lot and to be brutally honest I don’t think he starts for anyone in the prem

Top 10 PL clubs came in for him yesterday.

[BOYSIE31]

Awful tonight

[Newcastleclaret93]

Top 10 PL clubs came in for him yesterday.

Cause they did.

[Belgianclaret]

Awful tonight

You what?

[Vegas Claret]

the games passed him and others by tonight - 2 teams on the pitch though, WBA were decent

[Leisure]

Cause they did.

Well Leicester certainly did.

[arise_sir_charge]

Yes, course they did.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Well Leicester certainly did.

Yes and Ashley Barnes was wanted by Chelsea 3 years ago.

From the "I think" I'm assuming you've just come to that conclusion because he had a below par performance (for the first time this season), bearing in mind most of the team had a below par performance as well.

Give it a rest, pal.

[Leisure]

Yes, course they did.

Glad you agree.

[Leisure]

Yes and Ashley Barnes was wanted by Chelsea 3 years ago.

And?

[Top Claret]

I thought Josh wasn't at his best against Millwall and put that down to the transfer window rumours, although he was certainly below par last night as were the majority

[RVclaret]

Cause they did.

Kompany said this after the game

“We had to sell Collins, Pope, McNeil, Cornet…for me now, after that we didn’t have to sell those players, so we were in a big strong position for me to turn down bids for Brownhill and Charlie Taylor."

So that suggests there were bids for him.

Andy Jones (reliable) said there was top 10 PL interest on deadline day and Graeme Bailey (semi reliable) also said we’d received interest but issued a not for sale warning.

[123EasyasBFC]

These threads wow, one quiet game from Brownhill and suddenly he’s affected by transfer rumours and wanted to go to them prem hahaha, it was just an off day all round from the team

More than likely just papertalk. If he was wanted by prem clubs he would be in the prem.

[RVclaret]

[DCWat]

More than likely just papertalk. If he was wanted by prem clubs he would be in the prem.

The evidence to the contrary would suggest otherwise.

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to return to the Premier League. It’s quite plausible that he was willing to give it a season and assess after that.

You have responded with this to a direct quote from Kompany

People can believe what they want. I am 100% confident that no one even bid for him.

[ksrclaret]

So a quote from the manager is now "papertalk"

You really are the gift that keeps on giving on here

I appreciate your confidence in my supernatural ability to see into the future but Im afraid Im not a clairvoyant and just a mere mortal like you (albeit a more intelligent and knowledgeable one)

[HuncoatClaret]

It's great to see that he's making a contribution after the shaky start that he got off to this season.
If any premier League clubs did come in for Josh, he'd no longer be a Claret, it's obvious that it was his agent making all the noises.
I'm glad that he's still with us, but he must stop taking free kicks.

A bit of humility wouldn’t go amiss once in a while, Newcastle.

Let's face it the guy has a hell of a lot of reasons to be humble.
