Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[supertom]

I'd quite happily keep Westwood as a squad player but fucking hell, for 6 Million I'll fireman lift the fucker all the way there on foot.

[Des Little]

Can I just double check its them giving us £6m, yes?

So far everything seems to be going quite nicely this summer.  (But then, I thought that last summer!)

Do Burnley want to be relegated? Westwood is so boringly average.

The obsession with staying in the Premier League is odd to me. Villa are likely to be at the top end of the Championship and Burnley are likely to be near the bottom of the Premier League. Leaving aside the fact they might switch places after one year, wouldn't it be more fun to win most weeks in the Championship than lose most weeks in the Premier League.

As one of players who was probably never on the truly eye watering contracts and who's just lost 50% of that contract, one season in the Prem on the sort of deal the new TV money will demand will probably make up for a lack of win bonuses chez RDM.

That's a backwards move long term for Westwood. He must be delighted.

Sir, I applaud you. Very funny.

This makes me question my appreciation of Sean Dyche's work. £6 mill? Fuckaduck RDM's a genius.

Good point.
I suppose they want someone with loads of experience in relegation battles.

Someone on Twitter threatening to cut up his season ticket if Westwood leaves....

...puts those Tshibola opinions into perspective.

[brian green]

But who is going to do the pointing?

Yes, but it was a Burnley fan.

I don't want to fall out with anyone but for all these people offering to drive him to Burnley I will fight you to the death for the opportunity to drive him there the quickest. Obviously my job would be made a lot easier by him pointing me in the right direction all the way there.

It must have been because I haven't received my season ticket yet. Or is he going to keep his anger on the boil long enough to get his season ticket and then cut it up.

[LeeB]

It could be his dad?

Everyone who wants this job could do a mile each. We could auction off each mile for charity.
