I think of all the gambles we’ve taken he’d be the most promising, but we’ve had our pants pulled down too many times. Swerve. I don't even think that is true. He looks a lot further gone than schneiderlin or probably even Walcott. It's almost like gambling on them after us given his poor time at W...

Probably the only team daft enough to buy him is us

I just don't see how it works. The option to buy would still probably be 30m and he's earning 200k a week at city which he's not going to want to give up. He probably wouldn't be a transfer we could afford to make permanent regardless. He is not a smart transfer for us, not even on loan. He is absol...

There will be better players than Kalvin Phillips that struggle to get in the City side, and lets be honest, hes probably up against the best defensive midfielder in World Football in Rodri, he maybe should have considered the calibre of their squad before moving, but I have no issue with players t...

He's probably worth 10m a 60k a week. There was talk of them wanting to make a profit before his poor spell at West ham and that the loan fee was something like 8m (for half a season) There's nothing wrong with taking a risk of this type but the numbers will be based on what city paid and how much h...

Makes the most sense for both parties. He protects himself against his recent poor injury history. If we can keep him fit and supply him properly, I’d expect more suitors in January and we can get our money then. Depends on the release clause because if its low no one is protecting us from years of...

All depends on how you buy them, right? For relatively little, recognizing they’re a great fit for the way we play and that we have a chance to improve them massively… much better than how we’ve done business in the past. Stars in our eyes, oh my god we have a chance to sign [insert name], tell us ...

He's not going to want to run his contract down. If he gets injured again he'll not get anything like the money we pay him

Yeah, no fucking way for that price. Looked crap in the euros too. Was really highly rated when he was at Southampton but that's about 3 years ago. He's done nothing since and had a serious injury. Plus he's had a payrise too. I think him and Phillips are the types that we've bought in the past. We...

Phillips would just cost too much for me. Too much in wages. Probably too much in terms of a loan fee. Certainly too much in terms of an option to buy

He's not worth the risk.

How low is the price for Broja? He’s not a great all-around CF but he’s got attributes Dyche likes to work with. There could be a deal to be had depending on how desperate Chelsea are to get rid. Soon to be 23, a few lost seasons doesn’t suddenly mean he’s cooked as a pro footballer. Would’ve expec...

Why what's wrong with him

Silly bugger

My dream threesome is garner and benitez

I dont think that particularly untrue, he is our best midfielder and I think he has been massively impacted by the structure around him. You wont find many (any) players of his profile, with his figures, build and athletic ability for the price they are getting him Our best player by a mile. I don'...
