Mee and Tarkowski were totally different cases ------they left when we had been relegated and got themselves very good deals.
I don't blame Josh at all, he did a lot to get us promoted but is still not valued.
I value him Sub just not at 80k a week - he?s been a good servant to Burnley and his predicament is last decent contract etc / signing on fee ( i put on another thread ) so to look after his family maybe he has to go.

I do think he falls right in the category of a v good championship player and maybe not quite good enough at the higher level ( otherwise he?d have gone before now and we?d have made good money on him ).

Decent footballer who excelled last season imo given freedom to play in the hole - it?s my opinion though that Hannibal is a much more gifted footballer and could also play that position.

We could debate all day but reality is the league we are going to is brutal and requires top athletes who rightly or wrongly warrant 50/60 /80 million price tags and whoever we have will have to be exceptional in this next year - I?m in the ballcock camp though in that we need bigger stronger physical boys to compete as that?s what we?ll be facing every week and I don?t think Josh fits that profile.
