Just been speaking with my Everton supporting dad and he says lots of talk at the Everton end we are interested in signing Fabien Delph.

Can't see it myself, but you never know.

Wasn't he another player who was reputed to be on £100kpw when he moved from Citeh?

They've been back to:- "I hear you've been involved in an accident that wasn't your fault" or "We're doing a survey on your energy needs" the last few weekends at home for me. At work it's been "Your BT account is soon to change" & "We have buyers looking to buy businesses like yours right now". It'...

I remember posting on here a while ago about this manager and would like him should Dyche go - I actually wanted him in as he plays better standard of football but anyway who were the people who ridiculed me on here and look at the job he has done at Brentford and especially the style of football h...

The new authority will need a new name, a combination of the 2 maybe? It'll be too controversial to use the beginning of either town name, so what if they go with Burn, from Blackburn....& ley, from Burnley & put them together?

Has a nice ring to it imo

Ben White has been on loan at Leeds from Brighton. Had a good season, Leeds fans think he should be the England captain and win the World Cup on his own so he's worth 12 Billion

I hope they pay £12billion for him...........that'd be really funny!

How is Harrison Reed doing for Fulham, he's supposed to be one we are interested in?

Very deep & a bit safe

Should just follow Europe, to avoid complications. Have France, Belgium, Holland etc who knocked off early set a date to start their new season yet? Part of their argument early on was because they'd have to play behind closed doors, since nothing has changed on that score, have their minds changed...

This is the UEFA calculations room where they figure out all this technical stuff. It's the same room they work out who the trickiest possible team it would be for Burnley to draw in the Europa Ligue:

A calculation they had to make 3 times

With the size of our squad I don't want European football next season.

We'd need 8 or 9 players in the transfer window to compete in the PL & Europe........& we all know introducing so many new players usually goes in the PL

Just to point out that Thompson is under contract until the end of NEXT season. That's what I thought, presume he or his agent are trying to renegotiate his contract on the basis that he's now made his Premier League debut if this story is true?

VAR works all over the world, it's only in this country that the powers that be make a pigs ear of it. They need to do away with the studio crap.

Ideally we're looking as an absolute priority a RW. Ideally, a holding, no nonsense midfielder who can pick a pass, read the game, challenge, basically hold the midfield more and give us breathing space. Not from Prem teams but if you're looking at DMF players, Basic at Bordeaux is decent, Croatia ...

rob63

disagree totally, all depends what is required - Dyche could say he wants this winger at 15 and a full back at 5, Garlick might say you can have a winger at 10 and a full back at 5 - Dyche might then decide to just take the winger at 15 and leave the full back. There's no right or wrong, just a con...

I'd love to see JBG back, but not Brady please. He should have been let go with Lennon and Hart. All he ever does is gift the ball to the opposition by trying to be cleverer than he is. Now they've given him another year then hopefully he'll be sold in January & we'll see some money for him, otherw...

New contract would make sense, if he's on the fringes of the 1st team, we should try and get him tied down, even if he doesn't break through with us, then there's every chance of lower league teams paying a decent wedge for a promising youngster, and that's funds that could be reinvested in the aca...

So, are we saying Newcastle can't have Sean Dyche, so Saudi's are going to buy Sean and Burnley FC, instead? ;) Or, maybe it's Qatar buying Burnley so that they can get their own back on BeOutQ pinching their BeIN games? ;) UTC The article hints at Middle Eastern rather than Gulf states Paul, so Sa...

In light of the Wigan situation, i just browsed their squad, Jamal Lowe stands out as a possible signing, he's only 25, and is a right-winger, Lennon's replacement maybe? The only stumbling block is he's contracted until 2022, but if we're looking at spending £5m or so on a player he's one to bear ...

You have every right to slag him off, but most on here would rather politics were kept to a minimum and the same threads.

Starting one with just NEW DEAL as the title will attract football fans thinking it will be club business.

Yes, I thought SD had signed for another 6 years......

It’s a very strange set up at Burnley with both Rigg & Dyche reporting to the chairman. I’m not sure just how it works. It'd be better management if Rigg & Dyche discussed things with their staff before taking a selection of targets to Garlick together. if they meet him separately there's always go...

Well, I do agree re: Cantwell. He looks like he’ll go right to the top. My point about him was more that our wage structure would provide him with a very good pay rise. Brooks is from the North West, could want to return to his roots and live in the Footballer belt if Bournemouth go down. Buendia w...

rob63

I’m not sure that’s true (that other players earn much more than Burnley pay)... assuming you believe what you read on the web, and using the players mentioned on the “I think we should buy this player” thread, Cantwell is on £1.5kpw, Buendia on £8k, Brooks 25k, McGinn £25k... even Grealish is on £...

rob63

Surely the club must be able to find players somewhere in the world better than than those playing in our second tier for those amounts of money ? There's loads, but does Dyche want that type of player? He values PL experience, but we never sign a player from a relegated club because he's usually o...

Hell of a time to ask..... Said on another thread his timing was off by at least 6 months, for a man who prides himself on man management it does seem to be a bit, well, dim to say the least.

A top team is going to win the FA Cup more than likely. Also, as well as finishing in qualifying positions again, Man U or Wolves are capable of winning the EL. That could get one of them in the CL. Also, City or Chelsea could win the CL. So it may well be that we have 5 in the CL again. Does that ...

Aiden O'Neill is the strange one for me. Offered a new contract when he's been playing in Australia for the last 2 years. I thought he moved back over there as he was homesick? Maybe he's ready to give it another go over here. He did look a promising player at the time and we are short in midfield....

Is it still £2 million a place this season, or has that been changed with the covid-19 break? Nobody seems to know for sure, Paul.
