CONFIRMED Harrison Burrows

[HarryHaslam]

My personal opinion is that I don’t think it will happen, we have verbally agreed to pay the money but we don’t have the money. If we paid £5m for a league one left back it would be negligent. The takeover is going well. Ryan Giles will be cheaper and he’s proven at our level.

So from you saying just yesterday that you would happily leave the forum you have now updated your views on this to cover your arse. This transfer may or may not happen, you don’t think it will but it might. So you’re not leaving if it happens? Got you

I said I would didn’t I?

Sound

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

No money but the prince is unwilling to pay even though he wants to keep a shareholding in the club. Takes the biscuit that does he wants to stay but isn’t willing to sort these small signings, so the purpose of him staying is? Loves the club

There is absolutely zero chance that the Prince would be allowed to sanction any signing while a bid is with the EFL. None.

Harrison Burrows update -

Peterborough want £5m for their star left back, we are the only club who have said we will match it. Watford, Leeds and Middlesbrough involved too.

Currently we don’t have the means to arrange the deal due to the uncertainty about our takeover, the takeover moved in a very positive step yesterday. I think we will revisit this but we are also very keen on Ryan Giles if this one fails.

So the article in the Posh rag saying medical arranged is bollox then Rifleman?

Nope no medical.

 

[blade_ben]

5m when he has one year left on his current deal!

 

[prescotblade]

5 million is cheap when you look at the exuberant prices of players in this country. We are looking for bargain priced players, which are a gamble in this league. Looking at England performances and the value of their players. We are either going to find the finds of the season or we’re in the proverbial.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

5 million for a league 1 player.

Gi or

And with only 1 year left on his contract.

 

[Le Cynique]

Yes it is a small signing you get nothing for that these days especially in the context the vast majority of our signings will be loans or frees

Actually if the context is loans and frees £5m represents a major outlay.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

My personal opinion is that I don’t think it will happen, we have verbally agreed to pay the money but we don’t have the money.

I once verbally agreed to buy a Ferrari but like this deal you talk of didn't have the money.

 

[Blade58]

That Posh owner never gives any player away

Wondering though whether the fee is less than £5m but add ons take it up to £5m?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It's surely his goals and assists that would drive any 5m fee

We should remember that Kieron Freeman also hit big numbers from wing back in that league

 

[jt64]

If we paid £5m for a league one left back it would be negligent.

If in the last transfer window a club paid £25 million for McBurnie it would have been negligent. If a club paid £25 million for Haaland it would have been the greatest bit of business of all time. Now replace Premier League with League One, striker with left back, and reduce the numbers by 80%, and realise your comment is stupid

 

[Bladezz]

Has this lad gone elsewhere then?

He very clearly said he wasn’t signing. Then very clearly stated again he wasn’t signing even when the “medical was booked”. He backed himself as was correct.

No one said he’s gone elsewhere.

 

[bonobo]

We are not paying 5 million for a L1 full back in the last year of his contract. Peterboro publicly quoted 4.5 million for Ronnie Edwards last Jan, who is a more established talent, with more years on his contract. Burrows will be fair chunk less.

 

[LJBlade]

He very clearly said he wasn’t signing. Then very clearly stated again he wasn’t signing even when the “medical was booked”. He backed himself as was correct.

No one said he’s gone elsewhere.

Just because he hasn’t signed it doesn’t mean he isn’t signing.

*he’s now conveniently said he might be signing, thereby covering all bases.

 

[Paisley Blade]

My personal opinion is that I don’t think it will happen, we have verbally agreed to pay the money but we don’t have the money. If we paid £5m for a league one left back it would be negligent. The takeover is going well. Ryan Giles will be cheaper and he’s proven at our level.

So you’ve gone yes, no and maybe. Within 24 hours. Impressive stuff.

How do you know it’s correct? Article said medical on Friday

 

[Andy67]

Ok, you own a company and are actively in the process of selling the company where you will stay on as a minor 20% shareholder.

You're telling me you are going to pay 5million out of your own money for the business you're selling and only remaining a minor shareholder of?

Stop it.

Minor shareholder 20% on that basis how, much will the other lot put in? In terms of spending on players if he can’t or won’t put in 5 mill into a business that is his own then what is intention? Cup tickets or a match day pie?

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

5m when he has one year left on his current deal!

Illiman - £15m

 

[Whoateallthepies]

5 million for a league 1 player.

Suppose you still buy milk and flour for a shilling

 

[ThatJa]

Suppose you still buy milk and flour for a shilling

Please link me to ANY signing where a League One club has sold a player for 5million in the last 5 years.

John Brayford from Cardiff to us for 2mill is the 2nd highest record signing in that division.

 

[mattbianco1]

As it stands it isn’t happening. I will be very surprised if we did sign him.

But you just said we will match their asking price

Fees have gone through the roof over the last few year's. Unfortunately you're not gna get many players for next to fuck all anymore, same with everything.

Put your rations book back in the drawer and come into the new world

Which one of these was from a League 1 club to a club higher in the pyramid? You're beating your own argument
