Apparently Burnley have done us over again.

Burnley and Wolves agreed a fee of £15m for Luca Koleosho on Friday.

Player has apparently agreed terms and was due to travel to Wolves on Tuesday for his medical and contract signing.

Burnley have now had a bid of £20m from an unknown club and have asked Wolves to match the bid.

Koleosho does not want to move the other club and is hoping Wolves put in a new bid but it looks unlikely seeing as Burnley had already agreed a fee.

Well if they want to play devils advocate, let them, personally a winger is not priority, maybe a LB coming in would allow us to use Nouri in a more attacking role.

Burnley have done nothing wrong here except the jobs they are paid for! If we are failing to get players over the line that's on our club no one elses!
If we had been offered an extra £5-10m by another club for Neto would you not have expected is to take it?! Behave, we should all know this market by now and until the players holding the shirt any clubs bid can be topped!
Everyone keeps saying how great Hobbs is but the proof will be in the pudding come the end of deadline day. Look at Brighton, I first read about them bidding for O'Riley on Friday morning, the deal was agreed with a medical penciled in less than 24 hours later! With Wolves on the other hand we just read about the deals for a week BEFORE the players signed by someone else (please see O'Shea)! We are getting beaten in the market by newly promoted clubs and when that's the case I'm afraid it's an US problem rather than a THEM problem! Let's see what happens cause if we don't get this right we really are in trouble! ?

Just read we had a £20 mil offer rejected last week. So all this we don’t want to offer the same as another team seems to be more made up stories.

That is true in a world where players aren’t humans and don’t have a choice. He doesn’t want to go to the other club. Also they accepted our offer and now reject it? It’s call gazumping and only a fool or a crook would defend it.

So if you offered to pay me for my car, ageee a wage and you drive to pick it up only to be told “oh someone offered me 33% more so either equal it or you’ve wasted money and time and can jog on” would you say “oh well off I go” … no, you would feel rightly aggrieved. And that’s just a car.

Leave him. Tell him we will be back next summer and get him to refuse to sign a contract. Let’s see how they are when they are still in championship with the end of the parachute payments in the horizon.

The point is Bullysboy that Burnley have twice agreed a fee with the club regarding their players and allowed us to schedule the medicals. We agreed to pay THEIR asking price so once a deal was agreed, then Burnley should have allowed us to complete but instead, they allowed another club to offer more rven though they had agreed a deal with us.

You can feel aggrieved all you want Fenir but your still going to be walking home! Sorry but if your a grown adult and haven't yet realised that you are operating in a capatalist society then your never going to be able to complete the purchase of a player (or car) anyway!

It's fine to say just leave them but they won't be there next season, just ask Dara O'Shea! We can tell ourselves all we want that he 'wanted' to come to us but the reality is he will be playing for Ipswich! As I've said before I fully accept that the club have pre set limits on all transfers. However, part of that is also accepting you may miss our on your targets!

Welcome to the real world of modern football gents, until a contract is signed no deal is agreed! If we haven't learnt that yet (after what happened with Marquinos) then I REALLY do despair! ?

Remember the Joao Gomes deal? Flamengo and Wolves agreed a deal but Lyon tried to hijack it at the last minute. Wolves walked away, Joao Gomes said he wasn't going to move to Lyon. Lyon caved and Gomes came to us. Its about morals not money. Burnley could have easily said that they were waiting on other clubs bidding but didn't. They agreed a deal with us and then moved the goal posts.

Wandering- sorry fella but ALL of what you said there is pure conjecture! No one knows weather we had a medical booked in and even if we did it clearly wasn't quick enough was it?! Like I say look at the way Brighton do business, the first story breaks saying there's interest and the second story breaks saying they've signed! Anything other than that is on OUR club. It's Burnleys job to get the most they can for their players and by the sound of it we have helped them do that twice and have nothing to show for it! If true then we are getting played by a team in the league below us, leading me to ask AGAIN who is at fault here them or us?

None of us really know what’s gone on behind the scenes. As I stated earlier there’s articles saying we have had a £20min bid rejected by Burnley. So all this speculation that Burnley have agreed lower fees then gone back on their word is purely that, speculation. And if recent reports are to be believed, then none of its true. Which means people are criticising the club and Burnley for no reason other than the fact we haven’t got anyone in yet. So who knows if we went in for O’Shea, or the other fella from Burnley. I suspect that after Wednesdays game we will know more as to if we have any interest in their players.

Maybe, Koleosho will sign on Thursday after playing against us the night before.

They're refusing 25m now if you believe the reports.
