Got to be Foster and Fofana up front.

That's better than what Wolves and Everton can put out up front.

So much to improve on but feel you can never question his heart. Same as Charlie. Agree both full backs (all 3 in fact) are ultimately not good enough for Prem, but I never hold that against any player as long as they do their best, and they do. All three easily good enough to get back up from the C...

GrahamBranchsPerm

One of our best ways to break a line. Just needs to adjust to the Prem and be more decisive. Which will come as the team find their feet and he has more options to pass too once he has beaten a few men.

A key tool for keeping us up.

His touch and spacial understanding was unreal, Defour esque.

Breaking News: Charlie Taylor convinces Vincent Kompany he is a left back.

GrahamBranchsPerm

VK currently cooking Charlie Taylor an omlette.....

So, Sir Charles, how do you like your eggs?

GrahamBranchsPerm

Portuguese Benfica / Burnley supporting mate on Tomas Araujo.

He is MEGA
Very comfortable in vertical passing, long pass, short pass, 1st touch, marking, antecipating
Real deal
Needs to be tighter and more agressive. Needs better jumping also.

Worth 20M easily

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Benson did well versus City, and will be good enough in the Prem IMHO, simples.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree Taylor is not playing LB it would seem under VK. Taylor has a (great) use under certain managers - was good under SD on occasions but in a 'head down, charge down the line / backs to the wall defending' way. Opposite to VK's approach 'possession / passing, thoughtful football). Charlie can go ...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Yup, got removed.

The bickering kicked in.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Liquidity from debt brings both risk and reward. Like in many a business sector. So far the signs are good.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Load up early. Stay up. Bit like Forest but more controlled / better prices in. Spread payments but offload a sale or too Jan and end of season of the big successes (unfort). If Benny smashes it that will be £30m plus as an example. Can’t leave it too long. See Wolves. Will be hard for them this yea...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Yes, think you are right 123.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Passing on some info, might be considered interesting or relevant to some. Might not qualify as a ‘rumour’ though. Just bumped into THB and had a good chat. He's (yesterday) signed a year extension at City. Would love to come back, genuinely, was glowing about VK / Burnley. Burnley were never in for...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Don't feel Tella missed loads of chances at all.

His miss at Boro felt like a shock, as he was clinical generally.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Also saying on Sky we are considering going back in for Flemming (as are Lazio - I bet that's agent talk). Millwall want £13m though......

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Might be an odd way of looking at it as well, but deadline is 1st Sept, Villa game is 27th Aug, which is our first winnable game now Luton is gone. Plenty of time and we did some good late business last year. Genuinely not worried, our new model is to have plenty of targets, rightly see players a bi...

GrahamBranchsPerm

I think we will get a good few in, not based on any inside info or anything, just on track record of the new set up and that if we land two or three players, we should stay up, and no way will VK / ALK want to put that at risk.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Is it true that he did not attend the medical (Trafford)? I'm only going off a chance meeting with an aquaintance whose son has just signed for City (Harrison Parker), who randomly told me as he knows I'm a Claret that Trafford had, on Weds. As they were at the same centre that does them. He might h...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Aligned, hugely keen we get Tella.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

These are decent signings, young, talented.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

James Trafford had his Burnley medical yesterday in Manchester.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Legend.

Dean Marney.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Think O Shea can be a good signing. In VK we trust. Craig Dawson's lad is at the same school as mine (along with Corky's / JBG / Brady et al) so we talk pretty often, has always been keen on signing for the Clarets on a few occasions but it's not meant to be. Even just before he joined West Ham. Dec...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree Tella is less of a risk than, say a player from Fr Ligue 2? As Champ is a similar standard one would assume (bit higher?), but removes the change of country dynamic / knows team mates. Valuable unknowns to remove. I think £13m plus add ons if we stay up to bring to £15m / £16m around right. Le...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Do a deal on McNally and loan them Foster for a season so he can find his feet as part of the deal?

For anything to happen here, need Cov to fail in the play offs you'd think.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

The fella is really quick, and as mentioned, high impact generally.

Won the pen at Luton as well with serious skill / speed.

Good player.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

I actually live in Alderley Edge these days but obviously immensely proud of our Burnley roots. Always makes me giggle when we get called on the state of Burnley. Nothing wrong with Burnley and surrounding areas are very nice indeed, and we get alot more for our cash. Fair play to Luton, they do hav...

GrahamBranchsPerm

One of his best ever games for us yesterday. Brilliant. Leader.

Love him.

Also think the VAR point is totally valid, and that we move on at the end of the season.

A natural ending to a great decade.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Thanks lads. Great.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Would be a real boost regarding Zaroury TP - seen something on social? Or heard?

Cheers

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Think the worry is just whether he shits himself making his debut on Sky. Hopefully sound though.

Replacing Tella with JBG as think VK said JBG needs more time and Tella on the training vids.

Franchini
Roberts
Beyer
Al-Dakhil
Maatsen
Cullen
Bastien
Twine
Tella
Barnes
Foster

Really hope so Quick and it can, but mentally prepping myself for the disapointment. Squad is deep these days, the keeper situation is really bad luck.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

So feels like missing plkayers include

Benson obs
Cork obs
Both keepers (!)
Jay

Then Zaroury, Brownhill both ill?

Tella travelled? He plays if in, otherwise

Unreal stats RV.

Norwich will be a tricky hurdle and a point would be grand, but will never bet against this team.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Thanks fellas and absolutely awesome news.

Feel he is our key player for breaking teams down.

Cheers

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

This is great news if so.

Did he say this in post match presser 123?

Cheers and thanks

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

As said, spine tingling. Thanks for posting the video.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Yep.

We would do well to 'lose' here. I just think the 'win' is getting the final fee from Man U is far more reliable than those theives at Besiktas. Again, comment based on what came out of their Chairman's mouth a few months ago.

Karma here with what's happened / happening.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Would be insane / weak if we 'lost' here. For me, this just brings more certainty / competitive tension to getting the 10m Euro Buy Option paid, whether that be by Besiktas (now unlikely), or Man U. Any deviation from this (like early release costs), Man U should pick up. Previously we were at the b...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Besiktas are so offensive.

The quote of their Chairman before as well talking about nicking him very cheap as well, if we did not go up. Unlucky son, but we are on the way back.

Hopefully we tell them to **** off, and if they end up with an unhappy player, they will rethink.

Was class.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Top guy and loved it at Burnley, appreciated the fans and loyalty when compared to Villa, spoke to him pretty often as lives around me.

Wish him the best.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

I don't think they are good enough to expect to win any game.

Appreciate league position says otherwise.

I'll go Cardiff win.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

General view of Cov fans is that Dabo is very average and it was his best game for them against us.

Agree that day he defended well BTW.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Feel compelled to comment. Reads like some guy has been well and truly wronged here. Should all get behind him and make statements as I bet, as things stand, he is being framed / charged with assault or something to scare him into dropping the matter. All those who saw it, even though not your battl...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree we must pay due homage to Shebby. Heroic performance.

Agent Kean put in a real shift undercover tbf.

Long live the Venkys.

GrahamBranchsPerm

No doubt more mobile than Sir Robbie.

Just some of his traits remind me of him. Loads of differences too though of course, and will play at a higher level.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Not read the whole thread yet but anyone else see some Robbie Blake in Zaroury?

Defo seen Blake smash in crosses with that - was it Wolves / Gareth Taylor header, boxing day?

Really two footed, unreal balance etc.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Our fans are nothing like Everton fans. Far more patient. Of course we have our dickheads, but different histories and expectations mould fan bases. Everton fans are as nowty towards their own team as it gets.
