Why do we need a government policy for something that's optional to engage with? If you want to donate, do it. If you don't, then don't. Surely you don't need a government policy to make that decision? Your retort is completely missing my point. It's not whether donating is optional (which it clear...

Might sound a bit harsh this but... Sorry Stephen but this is the life of a non-pro athlete. No one is asking you to keep playing as a semi-pro, loads of people have to give it up.

Grant Holt bagged 15 goals in the PL in 36 games at the end of his Prime, then 8 in 34, then spiralled to 2 goals in 16 in the Championship.

If Szmodics would've had this season at age 23/24 that'd be a different.

CoolClaret

Nah.

Reeks of a player that has his one top season when in his prime... I also never want to sign a player or do business directly with Blackburn; don't forget that ticketing fiasco last season for the away game - you know - the one where we won the League at Deadwood.

CoolClaret

Whatever Safegate does, he just cannot shoehorn them all in and play square pegs in round holes.

For me Grealish on the left is the perfect foil and will compliment the others spectacularly.

The big question is how you get Bellingham and Foden in the side together.

Even at the time, I saw lots of people calling that out for exactly what it was. A publicity stunt to court attention from the media.

I'm not one to pretend to be 'ITK' but I've heard that went down like a lead balloon. Hardly worked either has it?

CoolClaret

I don't subscribe either but seem to be able to view the article for some reason. So you're just going to ignore expert professional opinion because it contradicts your own fairly archaic opinion? Here's a few more quotes on there from highly regarded coaches, it also uses example of Raya and Eders...

That’s an interesting heat map. I’ll agree that even as a fan of VK I cannot understand his comments about his position in possession and I think when he says things like that it almost insults the fans who can see it’s not true. Do you have any heatmaps from earlier in the season when he was playi...

CoolClaret

People are so entrenched in their goalkeeper views, that until we have a clear number 1, with a more than competent number 2, that will continue. In fairness to both our present keepers I think this is a hangover from Nick Pope. It started last season with unfair comparisons between Pope and Muric ...

Cullen can obviously play as a defensive midfielder in the Champ but I prefer him when he's slightly further forward and not necessarily the one taking the ball from the keeper/defenders. He's played some lovely balls forward recently - notably the one for Vitinho in which we got a penalty from at h...

Now to your point, I’m struggling when I read these threads (which should really just be about congratulating a great player for us), why we have to turn it in to a discussion about how BFC have made an error.

Agree - I didn't want to do that either.

CoolClaret

This should be good, let’s hear you back up your thoughts… Matt Williams on BBC Radio Lancs after the January Window was saying that Tella wanted to sign for Burnley - we just didn't meet Southampton's (admittedly inflated) valuation early on in the window and then Leverkusen came in for him.

By all accounts we did all we could to get him. Hardly a major error.

Not by all accounts at all.

CoolClaret

Just like to give congratulations to Nathan Tella for winning the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen in his first season in Germany.

One of my favourite players to don the famous Claret and Blue - he was simply fabulous for us last season.

All the best Nathan.

CoolClaret

Good post, along with TsarBomba's comment I feel like you've both captured my sentiments.

It's a strange feeling.

CoolClaret

I think it would be good to take Trafford out of the firing line. I also think it would help his development. Muric would start as No1. Cooper is excellent, and would provide a serious challenge to Muric. Fair enough - I remember Cooper being rated as a prospect a few years back, haven't seen his a...

That isn't bad technique. It's exactly what modern day players are being taught to do at the top level. https://twitter.com/TifoFootball_/status/1614925564925583365?s=19 That's different than taking a first touch with the studs; Muric does that to quickly 'tee' up the ball to deliver a rapid pass (...

Misery.

Loves Kompany?

CoolClaret

Do you think Kompany signed Massengo as one for the future then? We haven’t seen much of the lad, but I hope like you that he can cut it in a Defensive midfield position next season. At least the lad didn’t cost us a small fortune unlike some of Kompany’s other players with potential. Come on Noah ...

I hadn’t heard Kompany’s comment about Foster being on the right. The players heat map will show that comment to be absolute nonsense. Yep Oh and our resident, self proclaimed m̶a̶n̶ c̶h̶i̶l̶d̶ football expert KRBFC claimed he was also playing through the middle, in yet another disparaging comment ...

You spelt agenda wrong The new buzzword that people like to use on here. FWIW I'd have Muric or Trafford over pretty much anyone we are likely to be able to sign once relegated. Signing a new keeper for the Champ when we have one that literally ****** that league last time out and another that will...

4 minutes, thought it might have taken a bit longer. New keeper ends the pathetic infantile Trafford v Muric debate, think it’s the way forward. Too many on here (and their multiple users) have lost the plot over the GK position, it’s embarrassing. Buy a new keeper so that fans stop having an opini...

I can't believe we haven't tried Foster and Fofana up top together.

Seemed so obvious.

I'd try to get Trafford a season loan in Europe.
I'd also be keen on Cooper from Plymouth

For what reason?

We have that young lad Sambo coming in from PSV at right back - along with Vitinho and Roberts (who I think will be moved on).

It seems like Brighton fans are being hypocritical (imagine my shock).

The three most pressing positions that I think Clarets were unanimous in saying were priorities for this PL campaign still remains...

Not sure why you have just named two of the best keepers on the planet haha. They are literally perfect all round keepers. Comparing them to Muric is like comparing Ronaldo to Foster.

The one position that needs to be dependable is goalkeeper. You need to know he's a 6/10 on a bad day (christ, we were blessed with Heaton and Pope!) as you can't build a house on shakey foundations. What we've seen this season is neither Trafford or Muric appear to be ready for the PL yet. Whilst ...

Oh and btw

If Muric played for Rangers he would look like the second coming of Christ in that league... and you know what - so would Traff.

CoolClaret

The last keeper to make an error like Muric did today in the Premier League was nearly 22 years ago. God only knows how many years it was since a keeper made mistakes as bad as Muric did in consecutive games. But I’m guessing there were only 3 TV channels.

Jack Butland at Rangers is better than both Trafford and Muric.

Sometimes it's not that difficult this management thing.

I like Butland and he's doing well north of the border - but Butland cannot do what VK wants from his goalkeeper...

(not many can).

CoolClaret

Exactly this. Who would use the Sheff United keeper as a defence - they are the only team who have been sh-itter than us !! Those who thought Muric was the answer have been made to look a bit stupid. That does not mean he did not deserve a chance to play as he certainly did. But those who have said...

I have to say that as an ex goalkeeper I would expect to be dropped for the 2 errors There's literally 0 point in doing so at this point. If anything, we need to throw even more caution to the wind on the off chance that we win 3+ of our remaining games. We will only win taking big chances and tryi...

You also realise this “better run” we’ve been on has been against 0 sides in the top 6. Muric has to be dropped, he’s nowhere near good enough, this leagues hard enough without having a keeper prone to an absolute clanger.

Don't have a problem with wanting Muric back in. I did. You were relentless in your criticism of Trafford. Relentless.
