Decent Championship player but nothing more IMO If we don't have any money left, I think with a lot of bigger clubs abroad in Financial trouble, we can pick up a much better CB on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turlo Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 Big Dan Amartey is the answer. close thread. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 I am pretty confident we can see this out if we can get Jonny fit. The back five will not be used so Jonny and Cags can renew their partnership and Amartey and Benko can step in if and when. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 Get Tarkowski in and let him form a partnership with Cags. Evans and Big Dan as back up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were already short in CB's before the injury to Fofana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ur right he’s 100% naive , we would have struggled with 3 fit CB , now with just one , we would be lucky to fight of been in the bottom 1/2 . Dan is good for a game every now and then , but to trust him for a whole season ur kidding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 I would either go spend £20m on Tarkowski or get a Kabak/Cahill combo Big Dan impressed me today and although I don't want him starting every week, it has made me feel a little more comfortable with just signing 1 CB, especially if that is a quality one like Tarkowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eaton Fox Posted 7 August 2021 Share Posted 7 August 2021 Kabak and Cahill would be good for me because although Amarty did well today he wasn't actually facing a centre forward and I think he's not strong in the air. Cahill would be for one season and for 2022/2023 we would have Evans/Fofana/Soyuncu/Kabak as our CB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Kabak/Cahill combo gives us experience and youth and extra cover if Evans can't shake this injury or Soyuncu himself picks up something. Tarkowski is my first choice but Kabak/Cahill makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Best of 2 evils if it comes down to cahill/kabak or tarkowski. Tarkowski issue is the transfer fee but you have to factor in the salarys for 2 additional players over the course of the contracts they'd get offered. I'd rather keep it simplistic and go for Tarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glebe_sydneyfox Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Cahill 1year deal is a no brainer particularly with another 50+ game season. Tarks would cost more which I'd rather see us *hopefully* invest in a RW. Kabak/Cahill combo for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Think Tarkowski want to leave next summer because as he as not signed a contract extension he know's that he will get more in wages from a prospective club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would jump at the chance to sign for us now. I just don't think Burnley believe £20m is worth it for losing their best defender and reducing their chances of staying up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point having a RW , if ur leaking 3-4 goals a game , 1st rule of building a team is strong defence , the rest follows . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Just seen this in an article on Tarkowski. No wonder his price has been quoted so high in the past. ”His former club Brentford are also entitled to 27.5 per cent of any deal worth above and beyond the £3.5m that Burnley paid the Bees in 2016.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 The fact that Vestegaard has already played with Bertrand and Kasper means we can probably just drop him in. Hes good in both boxes and alongside Soyuncu would be a good compliment. Hes a ball playing defender and dominant in the air. The concern would be his pace. Southampton will be up for selling though, they've got 4 defenders already and he's less valuable to Southampton than Tarkowski is to Burnley.

An Sionnach Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 (edited) I still think we can see this out. Castagne is nearly ready and he will be on the bench if Jonny is back shortly we will have three defenders on the bench. JJ will hopefully be back before Christmas. We have squad size limitations to contend with and with no apparent interest in our squad players, some may end up outside the 22. That may not seem a problem to us but is an expense we can do without. Loaning out experienced, high earning players is no easy task, so this scenario , while not ideal, has to be considered. Benko of course must stay. Edited 8 August 2021 by An Sionnach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good news is we have plenty of talent for the full back position, even before JJ returns, and the likes of Luke Thomas and Marc Albrighton can cover there too. But we are very vulnerable in the centre half area, and are relying on Evans and Soy staying fit for much of the season. Still, big Dan may surprise us all and stake a claim to be first choice there.

Benko of course must stay. It could be Xmas for Evans to be game ready and Fofana will be lucky to be back by March. Dan the man is a good option to use and we would have to play Benkovic for a significant number of games as we only have 3 CB's fit to play. We have all been talking about needing more depth at central defense due to all the competitions we are playing in which could mean 60 games. We must have more players who are first competitive. Who they are I will leave to the club to decide, but more is needed for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
