Congratulations to Gudmundsson and his partner. His wife gave birth this morning.

I love that he still managed to turn up to work and put a shift in tonight.

Newcastleclaret93

Been saying it all season. We play much better football with cork on the pitch, his positioning and passing is such high quality. The team literally shifted 15 yards further up pitch just because of his inclusion. He is levels above Brownhill.

Newcastleclaret93

Villa haven’t finished above us in the league for 5 season, where has there entitlement come from?

Newcastleclaret93

Il start by saying this lockdown has hit me a hell of a lot harder than the previous two. My motivation for anything is almost none existent right now. Probably why I am on this messageboard all the time now, just so I can get a bit of social interaction. Thank the lord Burnley have had three cracki...

Pope 9 - he really is one of the best keepers in world football. Lowton 7 - he is playing his best football right now Tarks - 6 thought he looked a bit leggy Mee - 7 good goal Pieters - 7 thought he had a good game McNeil - 9 goal and an assist, our best outfield player. Westwood - 7, plus one for t...

Absolutely fantastic second half so far

Newcastleclaret93

And Westwood is totally dominating the centre of the park At least you can see Brownhill Is Westwood actually on the pitch ? Westwood has put in a few crosses and done a few awful long balls but at least he is trying to do something. I honestly don’t think I even saw Brownhill that half. He’s not u...

Newcastleclaret93

I’m sorry but no one can convince me Brownhill is premier league quality. He just offers nothing at all.

Newcastleclaret93

Brownhill and wood have to be swapped at half time

Newcastleclaret93

We can not string together two passes.

Newcastleclaret93

Looks like this could be a long night

Newcastleclaret93

Boden has said it looks like If we want Collins we would have to break the bank.

Not looking good

Newcastleclaret93

A bad window is one where the vast majority of our rivals strengthen and we do not. If none of our rivals strengthen and neither do we, that is not a bad window. To spend money at a time where there is no value and no dire need would be reckless and very risky. Of the handful of signing made in the...

Newcastleclaret93

To be fair, Alan Pace did say in his first ‘unveiling’ on YouTube etc that his first target was a successful transfer window and that Sean Dyche will have our backing. I can see why people thought we’d be making signings, I did to be honest also. Perhaps he has been shocked as to the shark like wor...

Newcastleclaret93

Not got a problem with that. I believe our squad is more than good enough to see this season out. The winter window is never a good place to operate anyway as we know. I think the summer window is where we shall see more of what the future may be like. Some of our best signings of recent times have...

Newcastleclaret93

I get the impression from Alan Paces comments that we will not be signing anyone.

Newcastleclaret93

Would anyone be able to break the above down into simple terms?

I am assuming what it is saying is that they actually invested close to 100m in to buying the club and the reporters were incorrect when they said they only put 15m up front?

Newcastleclaret93

No, you either say one is 23 and the other is 19 or one is approaching 24 and the other is approaching 20. What you don't do is use it on the slightly older player but not the younger one. Plus on the stats Kenny makes 0.2 blocks a game more, heads it 0.2m further and 0.1m higher, makes 0.1 passes ...

Newcastleclaret93

You should be a politician, when you are asked a question you answer anything but the question asked with some irrelevant answer. I have answered the question. You said why did you not say Collins is approaching 20? I said because even at 20 years old he would still be classed a prospect? What more...

So why not say the other is approaching 20.

There you go again twisting statistics to suit an agenda

Because even at 20 you are signing a young prospect. At 24 your expecting to sign a proven player. Kennedy is not proven and he is approaching 24

It is true, and unfortunately not surprising. He and other club officials have made themselves a hostage to fortune with comments made previously though. Personally I think we'll make some signings, might be late in day though.

He will delete his social media account by the summer.

Newcastleclaret93

If I am honest I suspect the Thomas will take his place as 4th choice or potentially 5th choice if we sign Collins.

24 in March is 23, in the same way 20 in April is 19.

Correct that’s why I said approaching 24.

Newcastleclaret93

If Kenny with 35 Premier League appearances and 31 Bundesliga appearances is valued at 7m, what is the going rate for someone with 39 Championship appearances ? It’s all about demand. No one wants Kenny. If you believe the papers Arsenal are tracking Collins also. Plus Kenny has played about 70 pro...

Newcastleclaret93

I don’t know how people are comparing Jimmy Dunne to Collins in terms of transfer fee.

At 19 Dunne was playing national league football. Plus Dunne only has 6 months on his contract.

Collins has played his full career at championship level and has five years left on his contract.

Newcastleclaret93

Over £10 million for a young player whose played 36 championship games, just shows how the game has changed over the last few years To be fair it is the going rate for a lad that has captained the team and has international pedigree. But you would expect in this climate prices would be lower. Would...

So it's not a definitive no then... No doubt this will flush out the vultures.

If anything I thought it was quite positive. Effectively said double the amount and Stoke will listen

Newcastleclaret93

Latest from @mirroranderson

Burnley have had a £4.5million offer for Nathan Collins rejected by Stoke. Stoke do not want to lose Collins his window and it is understood they would want more than double that amount before they would considering selling him. #sufc #scfc

Newcastleclaret93

How do you account for him getting first team minutes then, given Dyche's method? I didn't say they should be welcoming them with open arms, I just said it wasn't far fetched to believe a player, who had been training with a premier league first team for nearly the last 6 months, and had forced his...

Boden has said he believes nothing has changed since Christmas with Kenny. Been contact but Burnley haven’t made an approach

Peter O'Rourke on Twitter says we are confident of completing a deal. I believe O'Rourke is usually pretty accurate. It looks like that one could be gathering pace. Haven't seen a figure mentioned anywhere.

7m if you believe Everton fans

Newcastleclaret93

Signing a RB is in theory quite important this window with both RBs out of contract in 6 months. Still think if we have limited funds they should be spent elsewhere.

Pope
Lowton Tarks Mee Pieters
Gudmundsson Cork Westwood McNeil
Jay, Barnes

Newcastleclaret93

When Westwood arrived from Villa he spent 18 months coming off the bench or not even in the squad, because Sean Dyche didn't think that he wasn't quite right for Premier league football. I am sure that this would have applied to Brownhill but for the injury to Jack Cork. Brownhill was thrown in at ...

Newcastleclaret93

I can argue because you’ve got a pathetic sample size, you’ve not factored in any variables. You’ve no identified standard deviation. Your not a mathematician, neither am I. Therefore your point is nul. Fair enough if that is your opinion. I just don’t understand how you can tell fans to give there...

Newcastleclaret93

I’ll ignore your childish comments for the moment. Firstly, you sample is over what period? Have you factored in the opposition quality in the stats? His midfield partner during the sample? It would take a very capable mathematician to draw up a model you could then present as fair and accurate. I ...

I can't agree with that at all, I don't think Brownhill offers much at all offensively.

It is quite simply because it is not true. It is an opinion with nothing to support to it.

Brownhill is better than cork. Offensively as well. One or two crosses from cork mean nothing. Brownhill is more athletic and his numbers show he is more effective.

Statistically not true at all.

Newcastleclaret93

What’s your sample size? Are the games comparative? Or is Mitrovic and better striker than say, Werner, he’s scored more goals in English football, so HE MUST BE. Some serious head wobbling needs to happen ASAP on this board. Arnt you too busy making up rumours about this football club to be paying...

Newcastleclaret93

Nothing imminent. Monitoring a couple of options but nothing close

Latest from Dyche presser

Newcastleclaret93

The one thing I did notice when Mumbongo came on was how supportive Dyche was. I heard him on two or three occasions shouting instructions at him and then applauding him.

I think this might be someone Dyche sees an option but he would have to produce a lot in training to be considered.

Newcastleclaret93

Jack Cork steps straight back into central midfield in place of Brownhill Josh as done well but imo he is not yet quite ready for Premier league football, he needs to improve his offensive play Can't believe anyone would suggest Jack for right side midfield when we have had problems with central mi...

Newcastleclaret93

Didn't we get him from Man City where he was released? If so he clearly has something about him which initially brought him to their attention, but obviously that's a very big pond and a difficult one to make an impression in. Ben Mee will testify to that! Pretty sure he was signed from the swedish...

Newcastleclaret93

Big seven days ahead

Newcastleclaret93

Really difficult one with Mumbongo. He’s 22 and has barely played a professional game. But there is clearly something there, it is kind of a make or break season for him.

Possibly Vydra leaves this window and he steps in as fourth choice.

Newcastleclaret93

That would be a pretty amazing window. But realistically there is only seven days of the window left and we there arnt any reported concrete bids yet

Newcastleclaret93

I get what your saying but I thought all staff that had to “work” at football matches had to be tested twice before attending.
