I can’t think of anything he’s ever done of any significance other than having a decent debut against arsenal 5 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Any reason Burnley and Boro don’t have a good relationship? I remember Pulis saying the Gibson transfer was extremely smooth and both parties were delighted to do business?! Link to post Share on other sites

As the ground was in the books at just short of £50million in 2018, I don’t think £30million would be much use. In any case, I suspect Gibbo will be very wary of any transaction concerning the ground for as long as the other sale and leasebacks in the Championship are being investigated by the EFL. incidentally, Boro’s independent valuations of the ground showed £40m in 2013 and £50m in 2018, after they spent around £7m on improvements in 2016 (when we were promoted to Premiership). In other words the value actually only increased like for like by £3m. Over same period Derby sold theirs for £80m in 2018, up from the valuation in 2013 of £60m. I know they are in different parts of the country, but you can see why SG was so suspicious of the sale price of Pride Park. Link to post Share on other sites

If there's a negative relationship it would stem back to the years we shared in the Championship and some of the comments Dyche directed towards our club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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. Cos we diddled them out of £15m for Gibson? 🤭 Link to post Share on other sites

He/we are still suing the EFL aren't we so doing the stadium thing would be an interesting move to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites

So they willing to take a 9m hit on him. I thought the 6m fee for Gibson was similar to how we accepted 4m for Randolph based on WHU writing off the £1.2m we owe them so in short he went for £5.2m. If he going for £6m minus the £4.3m then that is a great deal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I would want a fee for Fry similar to one we got for Gibson. But given Gibson is going for 6m i will now reconsider my proposal and be reasonable. 9m+Gibson=Fry. Link to post Share on other sites
