£17mill for Jayden Anthony shows the state of the market we're having to deal with! ?

Plus £3m in add ons. ?

To be fair, Brighty, he done well last season.
I do, however, see your point.
Southampton want 30 for Charles, a player who, in my opinion, has had one good half a season, the second half of last season. And that was in the Championship.

Yep, agree he did well, Corkey, and I like him as a player, but if that's his market price, then the market is even more maaaaad than I thought!

Yep JA score 8 goals snd some asslsts in in an R fodder Burnley last season, that's quite impressive.

Leeds spent £15 million on SL last seez, we paid slightly too much imo.

Whereas, imo, £17 million on JA looks a fairly reasonable transfer fee.

I hope we steer clear of Charles now. Not worth anything like £30m.

I think that's a good buy for Anthony.

If 17 million is now considered good value for Jayden, I am officially handing in my resignation as a fan.

In today's market, 17 mill is a good price, but if you were him, would you come to us, as we didn't give him many minutes.

Exactly, Whitey. With players going for well over £120 million,

Brentford, who, like Brighton and Bournemouth, are pretty shrewd in the transfer market,

are getting good value at a mere £17 million for JA, a player who delivered in the EPL last season, scoring 8 EPL goals for blooming Burnley,

four of which were against 2nd place Citeh, 3rd place Man U and 4th place Villa.



JA deserves zero scorn from anyone.

Talking of signing players for good value.

Jaidon Anthony looks an absolute bargain when compared to the Leeds United notorious signing of Jean-Kevin Augustin.

He cost nearly £40 million in total, playing a mere 43 minutes (nearly £1 million per minute) . ?

Jebus H., you gonna start talking red flags and Leif Davis again as well, Baz?
17m is not good value, imo. Like I said, he did quite well last season, but let's not go googling more stats to make out like he ripped up the division!
And, like I said, I liked him, so no one here has served any "scorn"!

Ooh Baz, JKA!

Just sent a cold shiver down my spine!!

Red flags, Brighty? Forgot all about them. Well remembered. ?


Yep, Cleggy, pal, cold shiver indeed.. shocking.

Spoke to a contact at Burnley who's seen every home match and a few away matches that Anthony played in the Championship and the PL in the last two seasons.
He said he scored about 8 goals in each season, but he couldn't put in consistently good performances week in, week out.

You never knew what you were going to get.
He thinks Burnley did well to get £17m plus three in add-ons.

Let's see how well Burnley get on without JA this seez.. (8 goals and 8 assists in Champo 24/25 also) .

Or let's not, coz we are PL, and they are champo, so not interested in the slightest.
