    Anyone like Cahill to come back ?

    I would. According to the media we are one of a few clubs interested in signing him. Even at 33 years old, he could do a very good job for us. He is a northern lad, has loads of experience and enjoyed his time at the Turf. I think he would be a great signing with first team football virtually guaranteed. What’s everyone’s opinion ? Should the club go all out to get him ? Let’s see this new recruitment policy gather some speed and make a statement at the same time.

    Only as a short term stop gap if Tarks goes.

    We simply don't need another centre half within our current squad. He wouldn't be a starter here unless Mee or Tarks were off.

    Long and Gibson (although I have seen very little of him) are more than adequate back up.

    I would have him for a yr or 2 as a bit more defensive cover but he will probably end up at one of the promoted sides because we couldn't compete on wages.

    I'll drive down to London and pick him up myself. You just can't have enough quality players imo.

    I really can’t make my mind up on this one. Graham Alexander and Joey Barton were inspired signings. Gazza was a disaster. Cahill was brilliant on that season long loan from Villa. Ended up back at Villa after a couple of rebounds only to find out Martin O’Neill thought he was surplus to requirements and promptly sold him to Bolton. What a mistake to make. Still these things happen. Manchester United have Smalling and Jones. Enough said. Let’s do the sensible and wise thing and let Sean decide if he wants him.

    Tarkowski off for £50 million, the 61 times England capped Cahill in for free. Yet another fine example of the "Burnley Way".

    I can see it sort off , but it’s not progressing imo anyway it’s a stop gap.
    Wrong end of his career for me , lacks pace and gets caught out hence why Chelsea don’t play him.

    If you look at it logically Sarri is Italian and they love to defend, if he doesn’t pick him that tells you everything I think.

    We need to be looking to give Gibson his chance If Tarky is going to leave, personally I still think Mee would leave if an offer came for him.

    I mean he wanted away before he was almost forced into a new contract—- if someone offered him the opportunity to be considered for England spot elsewhere I think he’d go.

    I think Cahill was a quality centre back, unfortunately at his age the quality he had is deminishing, hence he can not command an automatic selection at Chelsea. Bringing in Cahill would show the ambition was have come to expect from Burnley FC. It would only need for us to sell Tarky or Mee and Mr Rigg could be saying we have done some good business.

    BT your the one who said Tarky is off , I just threw the Mee thing in because I think he feels he doesn’t get recognition at Burnley ( not from us ) but from the national set up and if he went elsewhere a so called bigger club he might.

    Personally he’s brave as a lion and makes some hellish tackles but he also always has a bad decision in him.
