bobzy Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Unsurprisingly, clubs are sniffing around our better players. Don't think we can turn down £6m for Westwood, but he really isn't the type of player we need to be shifting first off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 There are plenty of others I'd like to see leave first, but 6m is a good price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 6m is a fair price. Although he clearly isn't as bad as some of you suggest considering a PL side want him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 He isn't very good but in today's market £6m is fair for both parties. Will be just as unremarkable at Burnley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 6 million and we'll throw in Bacuna. wait they want to pay us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 If we sell him he'll need replacing because we don't really have another player in his style. I'd try and get more money out of Burnley. Because when it does come to replacing him you can be sure that clubs will be over-charging us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just now, useless said: If we sell him he'll need replacing because we don't really have another player in his style. True. I guess things aren't that bad after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 for me the one reason he has to go though not exactly his fault, he is synonymous of the failure our club has been through in last 4 years and fact he was ever-present in that time means letting him go will indicate a complete fresh start for the club 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Being able to pass the ball to his teammates being available to receive the ball from his teams, keept hings ticking along, and being an alround reliable player. We need his or if at all possible a better version's composure in the middle of the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC44 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well he's a safe player isn't he? Keeps things ticking. Not spectacular, but does what he's supposed to do. Unfortunately for him that means that because he isn't scoring 30 yard screamers or hitting 50 yard cross field passes every time he gets the ball then generally he is one of the first players to get criticised by the fans 'for doing nothing' when the team is playing badly. On the flipside of that, it's often players like him that receive a high amount of praise when the team is playing well. Fickle old game isn't it? I like Westwood and think he would be a good player especially at this level, but £6 million is a fair price and probably not one worth turning down (unless we think we can squeeze a bit more out of them).

For me he is a player that any functioning midfield can't afford to carry as he just offers to little and disappears from games too often. He covers a lot of ground, but is often in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hence the running. I don't dislike him, I just don't rate him. At all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor last season but was surrounded by utter dross. With the right players around him I reckon he can do a decent job in the Championship. As one of our English contingent who wasn't a total knobhead there are loads I would want to leave ahead of him. Anyway, I reckon Burnley will struggle to match his £100k a week salary.

Too true, and it shows when he's back here, not surrounded by world class players, and asked to do more than just man mark and protect the back 4 just how limited he is.
