derbydan Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian lawshttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer has accused Burnley of trying to 'unsettle' marcus tudgay after the striker's agent claimed he would be keen to talk to the Premier League new boys. Reports had claimed that Burnley, who have wrapped up the club record signing of Hibernian forward steven fletcher had made a £1.5million bid to land Tudgay. However, the Owls dismissed the claims and remain confident Tudgay will sign the three-year contract he agreed to last month. Laws is not surprised the Clarets have shown an interest in the 26-year-old, but insists he does not want to lose such a key player. Desperate move "Marcus agreed terms on a new three-year deal some weeks ago and I expect that to be signed in the next few days," Laws told the Yorkshire Post. "This is a desperate move by Burnley to unsettle the player. "I have spoken to Owen coyle (Burnley's manager) and I have stressed that it would take a damned sight more money than has been quoted to prise him away. "It doesn't surprise me that another club is interested. But Marcus is a player I want to build a team around." Tudgay scored four goals in two appearances against Burnley last season and his agent Darryl powell says he would be willing to discuss a move to Turf Moor. "Everything has not been agreed," said Powell, regarding the new contract. "If an opportunity arises, Marcus would like to speak to Burnley. "That is nothing against Sheffield Wednesday - which is a fantastic football club - but when a Premier League club shows interest, you want to take a look."

tealewasgod Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Haha! Firstly at the Wendy's for wanting to build a team round a very average player, secondly at Burnley for wanting to sign him for the Premier League. A slightly better Craig Fagan.

Day Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Have you been smoking the wacky backy again Vicky? or do you fancy him as well? If I had a season ticket I'd rip it up if we had Tudgay up front for us, calling him average is a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 "Tudgay had his most prolific season to date in 2008/09, scoring 14 goal" In 42 games says it all really, for a 26 year old striker, average at best and not the type of player you would want to build a team.

MrOrdinary Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 i think mid table cham,pionship squad is his level so wedneday is the best place for him hge had his moments for us but then playing for your home town club will spur you on a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 He's an ordinary mid-table CCC striker. He has enough talent to score goals but if he were in the Premiership he'd be totally out of his depth. Teams shouldn't be built around strikers, especially if they're not exceptional. I would welcome him to Pride Park though as he has his moments and is the sort of player who gets goals when you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same goals to games ratio as Hulse who pilfered 18 in 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 If we're honest Hulse isn't the Premiership quality you need to stay up either, although his career record is a hell of alot better than Tudgay and Hulse played his first full season coming back from breaking his leg.

Boycie Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 To be fair to Hulse, he was unfire prior to his injury in the prem for shef united. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Marina Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I genuinely rate Tudgay, he's quite nippy and can finish and I think if Burley didn't impregnate his woman, he'd still be here and I think he could be a surprise in the EPL for Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
