Agreed, that is possible, maybe probable. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 If I were Burnley I’d keep Gibson at least until summer. If they stay up then sell but if they are relegated he would be perfect to keep as they would likely lose at least Tarkowski and maybe Mee too. Link to post Share on other sites

The Mee too movement has been going on for some time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Perhaps Fry has already made it clear that he is under no circumstances moving to burnley so we are just yanking their chain and refusing every bid to make it seem like it’s our choice and we won’t include him in a deal.

That might be something Burnley consider, but is it something that Ben would consider? It was his big move, but he's become the bridesmaid not the bride. I would suspect he feels let down by Dyche, mis-sold by the used car salesman. I think he will leave regardless. He wanted to play in the prem, and if not then stay with Boro. Being allowed to play just because Burnley have been relegated wasn't his career path. I doubt another prem team will come in for him now, he will almost certainly want out of Burnley, maybe even if Dyche were to (unlikely) leave. Link to post Share on other sites

I got that he values Fry at 18 but it would take Ben + 16.3m. He was massively underselling poor Dael! Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 2 separate deals... Gibson - Loan to Buy Fry - 16mil if Burnley stump up cash. Gibbo wants to return, fry wants to stay 9 Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,648 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Sorry to *** on everyone's bonfire, but Deal Fry isn't going anywhere. He had a chance in the summer and refused the transfer as he doesn't want to leave the area and has just bought a new house in Nunthorpe - sounds like he's a bit of a home boy and would take something special to change his mind. Gibson was all dependant on Randolph leaving. Both parties interested in it happening but Burnley want a large fee for the loan until the end of season. Boro and Burnley do not have a good relationship at all which is making it tricky to do a deal. Link to post Share on other sites
