What Is The Clubs Transfer Strategy

[wassy04]

Losing Joe would be a body blow. Since coming back into the side he has been head and shoulders above any other CB I have seen in The Championship this season. Against Stoke, the sky build up focused on their defence and the amazing 3 CBs (included an Aussie and a youngster) keeping Shawcross on the bench. On the day Worrall was far better than any of them. 

Even his previous critics who felt he would never be good enough (I know right?) have done a full  U-turn. The frustration is that I think he is likely to be more of a Lascelles or Cash than Burke or Brereton. Once he gets games in the Prem his value will double from the likely £10 or maybe £12 million a Championship CB can realistically command.

If it is Burnley (interestingly his best mate Notts cricketer Jack Blatherwick moved to Lancs) though he will have to bide his time. Any other side, maybe even alongside Mings at Villa he would very quickly become a £25 million player. Put it this way, I would pick him ahead of Tomori who played regularly for Chelsea last season and made England squad!!! 

I hope he stays, but as others have said, he is a premier league centre back playing in the lower reaches of the Championship. McKenna and Duffy plenty good enough for Championship if this happens, but still gutting.

Yeah I don't think for him he should make that Burnley move, they've just done a pretty dodgy takeover and have two established CBs, even if they plan to sell Tarkowski at some point. This new takeover is leveraged like Man Utd using club debt to fund it so they will be paying excess interest every year. They will inevitably come back down soon.
