I'd be prioritising a right-back personally given the way Lowton has been this season. Timothy Fosu-Mensah, just returned form injury, only 22 and played 33 PL games last season and is only on 15k-a-week at United. I can't see him displacing Wan-Bissaka or Dalot for their spots. Arent Juve and Baye...

Fantastic news though that this batch of players are going out and finding their feet

Cleveleys_claret

The first thing we will stop paying for if we go down once the Parachute payments stop

Cleveleys_claret

Think Glenn Murray seems more likely

Cleveleys_claret

Have a feeling that we will sign Glenn Murray. No links just a feeling. Over 30, immobile, good character

Cleveleys_claret

Cant blame him

Hopefully not one of the ones reported as being on cans first thing in the morning before having a bit of coke for lunch

Very doubtful...the area he worked on was regularly drug tested and alcohol tested in the morning before even entering the site

100% of the time? I'm not sure I believe that claim. To have a close enough shot of every member of the crowd would require a ridiculous number of cameras. The cameras at the Turf can see every seat, just not 100% of the time. My brother is actually a spurs fan and worked on the stadium for Imtech ...

Cleveleys_claret

If a camera which is based at pitch side aiming towards the crowd...then how can they not pick up a monkey gesture yet a player looking in the same direction can?

The microphones are also hidden throughout the ground.

Cleveleys_claret

Pretty pathetic comments all round. You clearly have no idea about Dyche as a person if you think that’s why he is at Burnley. There is only one person responsible for our lack of activity in the transfer market - and it’s not Dyche. Dyche is the person who has transformed the club and given us mor...

Cleveleys_claret

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dyche call it a day at the end of the season whether we stay up or go down. We are in a Catch 22 situation. He is our perfect manager, but we won't (rightly so) spend £90k a week on a big name (who won't accept a 50% pay cut on relegation). So unless Rigg starts unear...

Exactly what ever happened to the famous quote DARE TO DREAM

More like DARE TO SPEND

Cleveleys_claret

Not necessarily. Do you really think there is a camera covering every seat in the ground at all times? The CCTV in most grounds can look at every seat but not every seat is covered 100% of the time. Plus the person could be obstructed from the cameras view by the person next to them. Spurs new stad...

Add Bardsley and Hart to that list and also Gibson, Vydra and a few others entering the last year of their contract and we have got a lot of decisions to make. If we have no plans to play Vydra and Gibson it would seem madness to let them walk away for nothing - which means we should be looking to ...

Cleveleys_claret

Surely then you have had long enough then to get used to it and will have done complaining about the same thing ? This is a message board for opinions. Just because you think we have never had it better doesnt mean that we cant be better. Just settling like you have obviously only leads to one thin...

Cleveleys_claret

Egan is older than Gibson, actually. I reckon it's a stretch to call Long "excellent". Many of us reckoned that Tarkowski would have left by now, many of us reckoned that either Tarkowski or Mee might be injured, and Long was not seen as a suitable long-term replacement in either case; we needed so...

For twice attempting to do what Dyche did twice in a row (with a fraction of the budget) and failing?

Yep

Here's the problem: £60,000 p.w.
Add DD on (assumed) £50,000 p.w.

It has to stop somewhere, we cannot sustain it.

Add to the likes Lennon, Brady and Gibson adding up to probably another 100k and there is little wonder the board arent willing to spalsh out anymore

Cleveleys_claret

There is no way on gods green earth that Pep or Klopp would their young players coming to the turf to have football coached out of them

Can picture it now

Pep : so did you learn a lot at Burnley
Young Player : yeah...i can now watch the ball go over my head. Also I can kick a ball 100 yards

Cleveleys_claret

Also if it is true the board arent willing to spend because of the wage bill surely it would be in our interests to start blooding 2 or 3 of the younger players on lower wages so that when contracts run out we have replacements in the squad and at a massive reduction in wages

Cleveleys_claret

Is he the guy trying to get a youtube channel going?

Cleveleys_claret

What an idiot......we all make mistakes though so lets get him back, back in and around our group and hope he bucks up knowing any more bad decisions like that could cost him a decent shot at a career in the game

Cleveleys_claret

With us having Cork and Westwood and Hendrick who can play in midfield surely we can let another one of them go.

Cleveleys_claret

Almost every opposing manager says the same thing about Burnley "We all know what they are about and the style that they play" and teams will be set up to nullify our strengths and capitalise on our weaknesses, especially in midfield. The manager has failed to adapt and the team likewise. Talk of D...

Absolute nonsense thread ! Why on Earth would people have cool heads ,measured realism and a bit of backbone when they can be puce faced ,raging ,screaming, foaming ,shouting hysterically and lashing out in all directions ! I will say it....I want Dyche gone, I dont want him to have any more money ...

Cleveleys_claret

Imagine this message board if we recalled Wells and he was awful in his first 45 minutes and hooked at half time.... To try new things though take time. I believe most fans are understanding and patient if they see a plan in place. What you said about 45 mins is exactly how Dyche thinks. He changes...

Cleveleys_claret

Off topic in terms of the player but another worrying sign, anyone see the Peter Crouch Podcast? In it he reckoned he had another one maybe two years in him but felt degraded at his last club which was enough for him to retire, complaining he never got the opportunity to start a game yet he had 90 ...

If we stay up and Leeds stay down I would offer Bielsa whatever he wanted

What manager of any real quality would 'jump at the chance' of managing Burnley? Can you name one? I can't think of one.

There are loads who would come to manage a team in the greatest league in the world.

Also just flipping the question a bit....Who would employ Dyche if he was to leave us?

Cleveleys_claret

I dont believe almost everything that he says in interviews, whether that's press conference, post patch, pre match or any other media interview. Likewise. And in my opinion his views on VAR shows how little regard he actually has for the game of football as an entertainment spectacle. He is happy ...

DD plus a quality right winger/wing back could transform us OR a quality CM + wing back and DD goes back . The board really must step up

How is DD going to transform us? Thought we had already had him for 4 months and he has done the square root of nothing

Cleveleys_claret

I actually hope he doesnt make any signings as if he does it will mean he is here longer than he should be

Cleveleys_claret

Treated disgracefully in his time here. Same as Vydra, same as Gibson. One really has to wonder who is actually signing our players

Cleveleys_claret

Has to be Mike Rigg. Paid to do nothing.

Cleveleys_claret

I disagree entirely that if we don’t recruit in January we are down. This side is perfectly capable of picking up the 4 wins that will invariably be required for us to stay in this division. Any January signing would be unlikely to feature heavily or make a significant contribution to the rest of t...

Ticket sales have clearly been awful the club keep emailing me about it and are trying to ram it down everyone's throats on social media :lol: Virtually giving tickets away at a tenner.

Sadly whilst the bank balance is booming and 17th is still possible, it's a match made in heaven for Garlick and Dyche. Shush dont say that loud. 17th in the best league in the world and you are still not happy? Amazing training facilities, youngsters coming through that never get a look in (bar Mc...

I feel the same. Live in W Sussex so it's a fair old slog up to Burnley, no ties either. My last home game was Palace which was enough to put me off for a while. It is difficult to motivate yourself to make a day of it, at expense too, to watch us at present. VAR definitely hasn't helped, ruining t...

Plenty of managers would jump at the chance of managing us. Plus there are plenty of managers who just need a chance.

Deluded. Strong 2nd half against UTD. Good 2nd half....yeah maybe a lil better than the 1st but agai st a team already 2 up

Hope this shows up. But this was the angle and cameras which they use for offsides. Looking at it it is a clear goal....no the ball hasnt actually crossed the line although it seems to have. Just shows the system up at the moment as being inadequate

Would it be more exciting watching us say being mid table in the championship and league 1 like Rovers and Sunderland for example? Would we have a shot on target in those games? Would we pass to each other more than 3 times before hoofing it? If the answer to any of those questions is yes then yes ...

What came first, the chicken or the egg. It isn't easy for a small town club in the Premier league, especially one without a sugar daddy.
