July 15, 201412 yr What's the striker situ at palace. Maybe we could get Murray on loan. Struggling to think of alternatives to Juke.
July 15, 201412 yr Maybe the opportunity of the prem was too good to turn down. With Ings and Vokes you'd think he'd not be first choice so him and marv will prob spend most of the time on the bench. Good luck to Juke though, nothing but praise for that lad. It's looks like one in one out at the moment so we need to get Andrews/chungy etc sold before we can get another striker. Talk of chungy to Cardiff so maybe get Mason in the deal.
July 15, 201412 yr Would have been happy to pay 1m but any more is a risk. If burnley really have paid 2.25m then boro will be laughing all the way to the bank. Am sure dougie will have a list of alternative targets
July 15, 201412 yr What's the striker situ at palace. Maybe we could get Murray on loan. Struggling to think of alternatives to Juke. Although let's be honest, you probably knew sod all about Juke before he came in - like the rest of us.
July 15, 201412 yr Very disappointing to miss out on Juke, but if Burnley are willing to pay way over the top & offer premier league football (briefly), there's nothing we can do. All the interest in Juke shows how few decent target men/strikers there are available. I wouldn't want Mason without Juke, & with so little money, we may have to take a gamble on a lower league player , an unknown foreigner or another temporary loan. If we have to start next season with Craig Davies as a first choice striker, i'd say we were going backwards.
July 15, 201412 yr Says in the Lancashire Telegraph us and another club had a bid accepted for Juke by Boro yesterday
July 15, 201412 yr ok, he's gone im gutted as really wanted him but there are positives. Jukes problem at boro was he never probably got going because of little niggling injuries all the time (like Beckford) we got him and he was completely injury free for the whole duration. if we are spending any trasnfer fee at all we need it on players who don't constantly get these little injuries, We have enough of them already (beckord and mavies) there is a chance we got lucky missing out on him if he starts getting them injuries again the only thing we know for certain is dougie never overpaid for Juke, whatever happens dougie will find us a striker
July 15, 201412 yr Step forward, Tom Eaves Don't forget Chris Eaves aswell. There's another 2 strikers we have
July 15, 201412 yr Right, gutted to miss out on Juke, but what we now need is a player with similar attributes. When he played DF played a different system, which worked, so round pegs and round holes go get a similar player.
July 15, 201412 yr Signed for burnley The Juke, Sordell and Matt Taylor. Perhaps Burnley are trying to edge out Wet Spam as our reserve team.
July 15, 201412 yr Chris is being sniffed around by European giants. Tom however isn't good enough for Shrews never mind us, just ask Salop. The lad isn't championship standard.
July 15, 201412 yr We were hoping to wait this out and get him for £1m later this month, burnley have bid £1.5m and forced our hand, we have matched the bid. Expect him to sign for us this week. Is it Thursday or Friday he's signing? Stick to selling washing machines and fridges mate
July 15, 201412 yr The Juke, Sordell and Matt Taylor. Perhaps Burnley are trying to edge out Wet Spam as our reserve team. If we played in claret and blue we would win champions league.
July 15, 201412 yr Author if i knew how to, id do the deed over to the resident greek When I get home... Play time is over.
July 15, 201412 yr Maxiarse is a silly cunt at times. But I do think he posts stuff that has a basis in truth, his biggest fault is thinking he is preaching gospel. People taking him seriously when he obviously is a bell end is the problem. And that m'lud is the case for the defence 'he is a bellend. '
July 15, 201412 yr Don't forget Chris Eaves aswell. There's another 2 strikers we have Yep, twin strike force
