The keeper joined them on a free transfer initially and is out of contract in 6 months, no way we’re forking £1m out for a reserve keeper Edit: Also stating on his twitter that he will be number 1 ahead of Pears, laughable. Why is it laughable? You think we're spending money on a back up to a lad that has played about 10 games or whatever? I would say it's more likely that we're looking for first choice keeper than someone to back up Pears. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,370 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 After 7 clean sheets in those short amount of games? Yeah Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Burnley had some sort of internal wage cap? Or has that increased/been thrown out the window with such long held PL status? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Genuine competition. The shirt is currently pears to lose but he needs better competition than Mejias. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's either that or he comes in and immediately takes Pears' place, I don't see that happening right now but it's more likely than us searching for a back-up to Pears.

TeaCider24 12,639 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Have we had any Macedonian players before? (I know he's Austrian, but by the rules of football he is now Macedonian since he kicked a ball for them). Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,940 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Regardless of what the fee ends up being (well probably never know for sure), the one massive bonus is that it will be an indication that we are looking at the european market again. It's been a massive gripe of mine of a long time. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I don't think the club will view it in the same way. A handful of games won't be enough to convince them that he's a nailed on starter for us. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) For what it's worth they're speculating we're tripling his wage to 32k pounds a month which is around 8k per week so way less than Randolph but the kind of money and fee where you'd at least expect him to have a run in the team at some point. At worst he'll push Pears, we haven't had 2 GKs pushing each other for yoinks it will be nice if Stojanovic/Pears compete for it over the next 1-2 years. Schwarzer was unchallenged, Jones/Turnbull the less said the better Given ousted Dimi but then he U-turned in a car park. We have paid premium fees for people whose contracts are running down lately makes you wonder why we're balking at Maddison when rumour is it's actually a 1.5 million deal with some far away add one Charlton have agreed.

AllSignsPointToPromotion 13 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm not sure what the clamour for Maddison is about, isn't he a winger, if so then how does he fit into our current system? Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be more impressed when it's an outfield player who isn't a snake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We sold him to Empoli for 1 mil and lots of people were very disappointed in the club. He hasn’t been seen in the world of football since. Link to post Share on other sites
