Seems like a lot of Burnley fans will spend the summer imagining expensive transfers for players no club with money will want to sign.

Seem to remember these comments last time we went down. "Who is going to buy McNeil for over 15 million? He's had such a poor season etc"

Mad that Rovers have only stayed up due to Leeds bottling it and Leicester having nothing to play for.

As for Szmodics, that's a crazy amount of goals for a deep lying forward

Ric_C

edit* For some reason I can't edit the post 15 - 20 million players Berge 10-15 million pound players Esteve, Muric, Odobert, Koleosho, Trafford, Beyer, Tresor 5-10 million pound players Cullen, O’Shea, Ekdal, Roberts, Brownhill, Amdouni, Benson, Ramsey 1-5 million pound players Vitinho, Al-Dakhil, ...

Been thinking about this since yesterday. From a financial point of view (like last time we went down), the aim would be to trim the squad, and to raise around 50 million in fees, thus giving us the flexibility to make a few purchases / loans for next season. I'd say the player values will fall into...

Ric_C

Though he was pretty poor, and should have given us a pen. Couldn't wait to give theirs mind. As for Callum Wilson 3 - separate acts of dissent 1 - act of inciting the crowd when scoring 2 - Dives (one booked) 2 - blatant handballs (one where he claimed to be pushed, but wasn't on a check) Should ha...

Started well then imploded. How many times this season has the whole ground gone up for a pen, and the ref ignored it? Then we look back on the replay later and it's a stone wall pen. Getting fed up with it now. Muric 7 Assignon 6 O’Shea 6 Estève 5 Vitinho 4 Berge 7 Cullen 4 Odobert 3 Brownhill 3 Br...

Ric_C

Must keep at all costs: Berge - Will dominate the championship Cullen- The glue that holds everything together Esteve - Will be our leader at the back next season. Muric - Big factor in the way we play Keep: O’Shea JBG (give another 1 year deal) Ekdal - Really like him Odobert - If we get s good of...

Ric_C

TO GO Trafford -Liverpool apparently want him Taylor-clearly not rated by VK JBG-desperately past it Brownhill-sell now that he has a years extension How do you work that out? I'd be keeping JBG for another year, ss he is superb in the championship, and has been our best player recently. Criminally...

Ric_C

Amazing really, scouts at one of the top clubs in the world obviously rate the lad and yet the experts on here don't. All Trafford is just potential at the moment. Don't think anyone on here has ever doubted that. A lot of the "experts" on here were calling for him to be taken out of the firing lin...

Ric_C

Whatever happens in the summer with ins and outs in the squad, we need to move heaven and earth to make sure Muric is our number 1 next season.

Ric_C

great thread

Ric_C

Just to add some balance to this thread On the radio before the City game on Sunday they were saying that Chris Wood this season has a better chance to conversion rate than anyone in the top 5 leagues. Better than Mbappe, Haaland etc Scored 10 in his last 15 games He's always been a streak player, h...

Anyone watch MOTD?

The panel brushed aside their pen shouts.

On closer inspection Garnacho could have walked for two dives, the cheating git

Ric_C

You were angry with Coventry pen - a handball VAR gave which would never been given up to a few year ago - to make it 3-3? Or you were angry with the very, very tight call which was correct and offside for the Coventry goal to win it with the last kick of the game? Or are you just moaning at VAR ? ...

Ric_C

So so angry with that. VAR is ruining the game I love

Ric_C

Just realised that the forest Berge handball fiasco could be the difference in us going down and staying up

Ric_C

Wasn't it Birmingham who sent them down last time?

Ric_C

He would be perfect for us in the championship in the number 8 role. However there is zero percent chance of that happening

Ric_C

I think with David Dunn it is more pantomime dislike on both sides. He comes across as a decent guy, even though he's Rovers through and through. Sutton just does it to wind us up I think. As for Garner and Sherwood, what a pair of absolute nobs. How Sherwood has a career in punditry is beyond me.

Ric_C

Used to think he would have been a good transition for when Dyche left. But over recent years he has come across as someone with a massive chip on their shoulder. My Boro supporting mate hates him

Ric_C

20 20 20 20 Let the game flow, and didn't really miss anything of note. The foul on Taylor that he missed before one of their breaks was a strange one. The game in general was played in a pretty good spirit tbh. Also did anyone see JBG get wiped out near the end when going up for a header? I was con...

Ric_C

Strange game, could have won 6-1 but also could have been behind at times but for Muric. Whichever league we are in I think we have a great base of Muric, Esteve, Ekdal, Cullen and Berge Thought Berge was the best player on the pitch by a mile today, just wish he'd shoot more! Muric 8 - few sloppy p...

Ric_C

What do you want people to give him? You gave him 5 which is below average. I believe a goalkeeper who for a second successive week has potentially cost us points with a catastrophic error cannot be rated at below average. Ah I gotcha Tony, everytime a goalie makes a clanger, it's an automatic 3, d...

Yet the experts on here wanted him in.

Hope they're happy.

hate stuff like this tbh

We've lost 1 in 5 with him in the team btw, so "ya boo sucks" (blows raspberry)

Ric_C

Carry on camping (in our own box playing silly back passes)

Ric_C

How is this not a pen?

Ric_C

Hopefully a couple of decent strikers will be a priority in the summer. Oh how we've missed Tella's energy

Ric_C

With Muric in the team, I've actually enjoyed watching us play again (perhaps enjoy isn't the right word). As with Trafford when he made mistakes, Muric is young, and will learn (hopefully) from mistakes like yesterday. His commanding of the box, distribution, 1-1 saves have been top notch since ret...

Ric_C

Foster is an enigma. And unfortunately I'm getting to the point where I think we need to cut our losses with him. He was poor last season, but we treated this as a bedding in process. Started the season like a different player, then got sent off, then missed a huge chunk with his personal issues. Th...

Ric_C

Was expecting Trippier-esque crossing, but all he seems to do is undercook it or completely roast it

Ric_C

The OK, the Bad and the Very very Ugly

Ric_C

At what point in this downturn do you add to your current holding and/or take the plunge on something you have been watching? Put it this way, I wish I'd kept dome dry powder for this event. My guess is that we will go sideways for 1-2 months, then boom. But worth keeping an eye on external factors...

If you want to see some embarrassing player ratings, check out the ratings on this page LOL!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68747578

Ekdal 4.95 / 10

Ric_C

First of all, lots of people who seem to can't wait to give Muric a 3. Bit sad IMO. Of course it was a massive error, but it's like giving a striker who's had a good game missing an open goal a 3 just out of pure spite. Overall I thought we played ok, there were positives, Esteve and Ekdal very good...

Ric_C

Foster, and to a lesser extent Fofana were a disgrace today. If he's not fit to play don't play him

Ric_C

Reminds me of a right sided Maatsen from those clips. Let's hope he is half as good

Ric_C

The biggest concern for next season is impatience and apathy. If we hit the ground running we could see a record points haul. Still think we deserved around 10 more points in our championship season. If VK is showing he is learning, and the squad fight for the badge, then it is all we ask for really...

Ric_C

Lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then, lots of decisions to make. If we keep the core, then priorities are striker and left back Nice to haves would be a proper number 10 and a physical defensive mid. Main issues obviously are keeping our best players and somehow getting rid of so...

Ric_C

Thought we were the better side apart from a 20 min spell in the first half. We looked solid against a very good, well drilled side. We only didn't win due to refereeing incompetence AGAIN Muric 8- superb save, great passing, commands his box Vitinho 7- his energy was superb Esteve 8- Marked his man...

Can anyone else login this morning on the site? Getting the spinning wheel of death

Ric_C

If this was so cut and dried, why didn't we just move on early in the summer rather than apparently holding out for him with a crazy last minute bid?

Not getting in two decent fullbacks in the summer was unforgiveable

Ric_C

Absolutely staggering if true

Ric_C

Didn't watch the game, but the offside law really sucks doesn't it? In my mind, (and every sane football fan), once Endrick carries on running and contributing to the attack, he should be deemed interfering with play He's gained such an advantage by starting his run so early. But no let's concentrat...

Ric_C

Think the next set of Bonds should be set in the 50's and go back to the original aesthetic. Would be pretty cool to rely on old fashioned gadgets again

Also I think he is a very good choice

Ric_C

I thought we were very unconvincing - 80 mins at home to 10 men in rotten form and the fact our keeper was MoM says it all. Still have very low hope of staying up, even if it has risen slightly. We were playing pretty well for the first 80 mins, dominated the ball and created some decent chances wh...

Ric_C

You can't be serious. I can't think of anything more potentially dangerous. If I'm in the crowd with grandchildren, (who tend to be near the front), the last thing I would want is a player piling into us and the crowd surging forward. The crowd should stay in the stands, (and if the encroach on the...

Ric_C

Running into the crowd or taking your shirt off should never ever be a yellow card There are far more deserving incidents that I would insist on a yellow: Keeper flops to the floor for no reason other than to waste time (warning, then yellow) Player who shoves an opponent into advertising hoardings ...

Ric_C

not watched motd properly for years, it's gone downhill so rapidly it's almost criminal

Any team below the big six just gets there occasional comments:

they are well organised
they all know their jobs

Ric_C

If a single player did all these things in a match: Won us the match with key moments Influenced our overall play Made hardly any mistakes Got the crowd pumped Showed extreme bravery on occasions Then there is no reason to not give him a 10 if the poster so wishes. I personally didn't but it's all a...

Not sure what happened the last 15 mins, but other than that a very good display Muric 9 The Return of the King Assignon 8 very good today O’Shea 7 Esteve 7 Taylor 8 Vitinho 8 Berge 8 Cullen 8 BL 7 Odebert 6 Fofana 7 Amdouni 4 - time to give him a break.
