He knows absolutely **** all

 

[berwickwolf]

Wouldn’t it be better to wait until it’s confirmed that he has signed than saying how happy you are with the rumour and clickbait….don’t we have a thread for that? Forgive me for being annoyed that a new thread is started for a rumour …monitoring, interested , negotiating , competing for, masturbating.

If that's how you respond to a rumour, maybe, respectfully, you need some time off football forums? You are forgiven, though

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Good signing if it happens .

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

He knows absolutely **** all

To be fair to him he was the first to bring up the Collins to Wolves earlier in the window..

 

[sc91]

Matt Doherty wasn’t that long ago!

It feels long enough.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Like the move a lot, good pace and right footed. Hope it is a move to a 4 in the works. Need another CM, ST and possibly wide player pending Adama status.

 

[Dubwolf71]

If completed by the way, Collins would become Ireland’s most expensive ever player, beating Robbie Keane’s move to Liverpool in 2008

jayses, 2008. Times going too fast.

Excellent news.

Now we'll just need to wait 9 months for him to recover from his customary ACL injury and our defence is sorted.

To be honest, watching his highlights reel, he tends to celebrate goals with a flying knee-slide so fingers crossed, eh?

 

[wwbug]

Can anyone see this happening ?
We spend £20 million on a player many other clubs know about and is valued higher by their supporters ?

 

[WickedWolfie]

£20m is a lot for a kid from a relegated team.

Value for money considering Newcastle got Botman for about £30m?

Homegrown?

[Dubwolf71]

Not really, always pay premium for British talent, need to bring our home gown quota up, plus already played in the premier league. So win win on this side

Botman is more of a risk, will he settle and adapt to the league?

He's not British.

 

[WickedWolfie]

How is that SG? Is it debt taken down with them? I don't recall a massive spend in recent times to avoid relegation - or have I been sleeping?

New Yank owners loaded debt to buy the club onto the club and owe the previous owners a big sum (£60M l think) this summer.

If it is, I'm surprised he still has the energy to type.

 

[Wolvescol]

I remember the last Collins we had at centre half , hope Nathan’s running style isn’t as comical as neils

 

[Golden Oldie]

They took out a large loan which has a clause which triggers repayment this year if they are relegated from the PL. Basically their entire parachute payment is swallowed by the loan repayment due because of relegation.

Cheers for that.

 

[Beijing Wolf]

He knows absolutely **** all

A journalist called Jason O’Connor has said that Collins has a release clause of 20 million. Apparently he is always spot on when it comes to info about Irish players.

They were in a lot of debt before relegation as far as I know

You are probably right but we have a rumours thread without starting a new thread for every rumored player…mind you I can understand the desperation as the rumours thread is bereft of rumours.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Burnley fans have been mentioning an Irish reporter who says the release clause for him is 20.5 mill, they've said the reporter is reliable too and are arguing over why the clause was so low

Perfect

 

[JOSWolf]

Reports sound really good on him. Will be really pleased if we get him. An actual first team ready centre back!

 

[moseleyite]

Is this the bit where we cross our fingers and hold our breath having already gushed about how happy we are?

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

Seems to be a relegation release clause at the 20.5m so hopefully no negotiations needed

 

[Ponty]

Prossibly a relegation clause?

 

[WalsallWolf]

I honestly know absolutely nothing about him which is odd as he is British and plays in our Country ,but the signs are all positive. Even neutrals and opposition fans are saying he is a good defender

Is he quick?
Is he going to turn us into a back four outfit??

Either way.. COME ON SCOTT AND THE COMMITTEE.. RAISE A GLASS TO RISKING BANKRUPTCY

 

[RosehillWolf]

Burnley fans are fuming at the price we've got him for

But we haven’t got him have we ?

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Is this the bit where we cross our fingers and hold our breath having already gushed about how happy we are?

It is indeed!

Genuinely happy if this happens. Feels like a really good fit for our defence.

He's irish.
He is pretty quick.
Can play in a back 4 for sure and has experience doing so but has played very well right of a CB 3 too. Great at ball carrying , excellent in the air and has recovery pace.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

But we haven’t got him have we ?

Based on Percy’s comments, I’d say he’s on the line, we are reeling him in, but he’s not in the net yet…

And he can score goals

 

[Wolf316]

Nice added bonus if we can really **** the Burnley fans off.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

As promising as this sounds I've learned not to allow myself to get excited until he is unveiled as a signing.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Yeah possible, or maybe the low clause was a condition of him signing for them? They are saying Cornet has a low release clause as well

Burnley forum, rumour of a relegation clause

 

[thommo1984]

* * * HE IS NOT BRITISH, HE'S IRISH! * * *


As you were...

 

[Redrockwanderer]

A Burnley fan I know is absolutely gutted, says he’s potentially going to be a top top player!

 

[Coshamwolves]

Did he play for them in our friendly the other day?

 

[moseleyite]

Based on Percy’s comments, I’d say he’s on the line, we are reeling him in, but he’s not in the net yet…

I think that it's the fact that Percy's reported the interest that's got people's hopes up as so many consider him as good as it gets in terms of accuracy.
