Chez Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 I think Pilkington is a much better player than Snodgrass tbh.Pilkington has pace and no matter what anyone says that is very important, especially out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 (edited) I would like to see us make moves for the following: 1) Peter Whittingham - Great dead ball delivery & takes a great (left sided) freekick 2) Jordan Rhodes - Had numerous Premier League scouts watching him a couple of months ago. 1 that could be a surprise package in the Premier League; & 3) Matt Phillips - Great pace, has a trick, direct & still young. I think he would scare the sh*t out of some Premiership full backs given the oppourtunit you know that may not be so stupid as it might sound. Rhodes obviously would want to play at the highest level possible, and there aren't any "big name " team in Yorkshire these day (unless the locals persist in reckoning with Leeds), but if Hudd f'd fail to qual. throught the play-offs AGAIN..then he would be a good buy - when you consider we have a number of squad players who have good L1 experience, and CDAJF them in a part-ex deal. Even if a Northern club comes in for him, there's no guarantee he would be a first choice pålayer with Liverpool or Newcastle.

View From The Top Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 According to Alan Nixon on twitter, Burnley want in excess of 8m just for Jay Rod, so that deal is now dead. It is considering what the gentlemans agreement was! They are simply being greedy and, so I'm led to believe, the player and his parents don't want to miss out on a move and are putting pressure on the club. Jay Rods dad was a time served "face" back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSaint Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 They want 8m at the moment when there is a whole summer to negotiate.

Lighthouse Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 Surely this is just basic negotiation. Burnley will be demanding £8m knowing full well they will have to settle for about 5 eventually. We probably stuck a price tag on AOC nearer £20m when Arsenal came calling, that's just how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 even if it cost us 10 mil for JRod and Trippier, which I doubt it really would, add in the 2 ish mil for Sharp thats 3 good players with lots of potential for the loss of Oxo. Seems like a great overall deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidger Posted 9 May, 2012 Share Posted 9 May, 2012 1) never seen anything of him besides set pieces. that's not enough for a place in the team. might as well pick MLT! 2) could be great, could be awful. i don't believe many of us have seen enough of him, and I'd rather have Sharp playing to be honest. Given we have Lambert, Sharp and Lee, I can't see us paying lots for a L1 striker. Huge ask to step up 2 leagues in one go. 3) Yes. 1) Delivery is a lot more important in the Premier League thou, u may only get a few opportunities to score so a good delivery could be crucial! I think he offers more than a good set piece thou. 2) He maybe an unknown quantity to us but that also means he will be an unknown quantity for the opposition as well! Pilkington has shown that it is possible for a player to jump 2 leagues at once and still put in good performances. I think he could be worth the chance as long as the fee isn't too big. I do agree that atm Lambert & Sharp are our starting partnership up front thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
