James Trafford | Signed by Burnley for £19m

[LongsightM13]

We’ve done pretty well out of the U21 Euros
Lukas Nmecha had pretty much zero value after a couple of woeful loans in the championship when he scored about 5 goals in 2 seasons
But then hit a purple patch in the tournament for Germany and we got a great fee, far more than he was worth
That said, totally astounded at what his brother is going for
If he’s a €30m player over there then we should be looking at Germany as a lucrative market

Think we also got about 10m for Angus Gunn

We did, turned out to be great business

Blimey - good luck to him. Does not lack confidence in his ability and to be fair he has looked very good. More money for the war chest.

Is there not talk also of Steffen for about £11M?

The academy is proving to be a valuable source of income these last few years.

lol oh well

Win win for us with the right buy back clause. I can honestly see Eddie getting our appearance record though.

What; for any position? He's a long way behind Alan Oakes. He's got 370+ appearance to go to get to Oakesie's record of 565 appearances. Even playing 50 times a season, that's over 7 seasons.

Trafford is probably a more "modern" keeper than Bazunu. It seems to imply that VK will have Burnley playing out from the back which might be problematical at the higher level. I wonder whether they will also try to sign THB.

 

[Worsleyweb]

Will he be first choice? Who is their keeper?

I think he could do it yes.
