I might be completely wrong but this reminds me of a match thread when we're getting completely dominated and everyone is having a melt at how naff we've been. And then we sh*thouse a goal and all is forgotten. I think this is one of those moments and we're going to sh*thouse a signing. Well I hope ...

"Can I get a Wout, Wout, fella's y'know, Weghorst runs the show"

As per the classic, "1,2,3,4 get with the wicked" by Richard Blackwood.

I thank you, and good night.

I recently bought 3kg of Haribo jelly snakes (the long ones you'd normally get in a newsagents). Ate them quicker than I care to admit to.

Great team performance - return of the strong jaw?

Collins and Taylor were immense. Brownhill and Cork did an excellent job of keeping Moutinho and Dedonker quiet (two internationals with 166 international caps between them).

Yes that's the one, he joined them from Motherwell in the summer on a free.

He's only 26 and on his 10th different club already. That's some impressive going.

I notice the scorer for Crewe is Long - is that Chris Long who was with us a few years back?

There's a Bellingham on the bench for Brum - got to be worth a cheeky bid, I hear his brother's not too bad

Joel starts for Accy - he scored a cracker in his last game for them!

9 points from 12 games. 1 win. 6 points from 4 games. 1 win. No losses. You talk as if we're getting battered every game, even though it's evident that we've become bloody hard to beat. We're 13th in the form tables over the last 6 games yet you talk about Dyche having to turn things round. I'd sug...

Ludovic Blas from Nantes. Love the way he plays with the ball at his feet and would be a great attacking option.

I think BPF got a lot of unfair stick at the end of last season. At 24 Pope was thrown in at the deep end after Heaton's injury. As Robinson was very much in his twilight, it was effectively sink or swim for Pope (which he did wonderfully, thank god). Pope had an excellent and relatively settled def...

Very very happy with this - what a cracking window this has been (I'd forgotten how much I missed being excited about signings)

No need to apologise brother, just see it for what it was - Missionary Work - but you need to keep preaching the true religion; I may not have achieved much in life, but I have managed to convert both my wife and her mother from Leeds fans into Clarets, so I know that I'll ultimately get into to he...

Hi Jakub, to be fair to the young lad in Helsinki (Finland) and, I assume another young lad in Istanbul (Turkey) their first thought will be that Tarkowski is someone from Poland as that's where people with whose name ends in "ski" originate - "ski" meaning "from." Neither young lad will be thinkin...

Do you think it's fair that poor people should have to pay extra on their fuel bill to pay subsidies to wealthy land owners so they can put up giant windmills which produce electricity at a far more expensive rate than traditional power stations? I think you mean wind turbines, very easy mistake to...

Karhu_Claret

I'm not wrong on renewables though. They are hideously expensive compared to fossil fuels. You do get the odd article claiming that they are now "cheaper" but they don't take into account the massive subsidies that renewables receive and the taxes that are applied to fossil fuels. Coal, gas & oil s...

Not quite what I read and was referring to, Rowls. Hi DC, were you referring to their biogas production?

I enjoyed altered carbon however I think I preferred The Expanse - its a bit easier to follow and the character development is, in my opinion, better. Both good sci-fi shows though. If you have any interest in American Football then I would very much recommend the documentary, Last Change U. Quite a...

Mine's a little odd, incredibly specific and has been with me for more than 20 years.

Not the grandest of grounds I admit, but I think we can all agree that the view is rather stunning at Hásteinsvöllur stadium, located on an island off the south coast of Iceland.

That's absolutely fantastic TY, it's nice to read a bit of good news on here every now and then!

As for Bangor, your son will have a fantastic time. I did my undergraduate there and it was easily the best 3 years of my life!

Karhu_Claret

Equally you could say you wait for a player to come available because you think they will, they don't, then you are forced to spend more for your second choice. The Hendrick deal felt like that to a degree I certainly appreciate what you're saying there Inchy, there's always a risk of waiting. I'd ...

Everton didn't need to wait to get their new defender in.

Maybe Watford wanted to buy him in July, maybe they've had to wait more than a month to get their man, maybe you love nothing more than a good moan.

Karhu_Claret

I think you've missed one of the main pro's for waiting till later in the transfer window - that alternative players actually become available. The players that are available to be signed at the beginning of July and those towards the end of August will differ significantly. If waiting means we get ...

Kahru we are talking about CT's disposition towards EH and the signing of young players it has nothing to do with O'Neill who we all hope has a good season away from the club.

He's a very good player, but if we were to sign anyone from Ligue 1 then it should be Marcus Coco. I've suggested him on here during the last two windows (yeah I'm blowing my own trumpet) - he's a young pacy and direct winger who is both physical and skillful. Over the last fortnight both Southampto...

The film Victoria is well worth watching.

The entire film is filmed in one shot, really enthralling characters and an immersive story.

I must admit that I've developed a bit of a man crush on Vokes.

A fantastic professional and I get the feeling that he really enjoys being here.

Karhu_Claret

I've just been messaged this by my Stoke supporting friend,

"You've got yourself a right player in Walters. 3 million is an absolute bargain too".

I'm very happy with this piece of business indeed. Welcome to Burnley Jon!

Utter codswallop, smell is the very first thing I consider before I start to stalk someone. Date someone. I mean date.

I'd be interested to see how the pattern would hold up on a, lets say, fuller-figured goalkeeper. A Paddy Kenny or a Wayne Shaw if you will.

That's were the designers will have really earned their money.

Karhu_Claret

I bet Vokes will be rubbing his hands together at the thought of getting on the end of some of Charlie's crosses.

Could be the start of a beautiful claret and blue relationship.

We finished our first promotion season under Dyche on 93 points, with a goal difference of +35 having scored 72 goals.

You watch French football? Clearly? Yeah I've watched a few games this season when I've had chance (not in the last couple of months though). Certainly wouldn't profess to be a font of knowledge but the three players I mentioned all stood out, especially Jean Seri (which is ironic considering his s...

In addition to my suggestions on the other thread (Sam Larsson and Nicolai Jorgensen) how about these peaches?

Ryad Boudebouz
Marcus Coco
Jean Seri (massively left field, not a chance we'd ever get him)
Harry 'Henry' Charsley (Everton U23 player)

I should probably do some work at some point today...

I think we’ll be looking for value for money as you rightly say, but I can see us paying good money for a CB. I also think we’ll be looking for a bench sitter who can offer cover at the back, mainly to replace Flanagan. That said we need much better cover at RB. Plus we need to improve in CM, given...

Karhu_Claret

Considering that we are a club who will be looking for value in the market this summer (and rightly so) I imagine both Charlie Taylor and Dale Stephens will feature highly on our list, considering their contract situations. If Tarks and Mee were to be our preferred centre back pairing next season, p...
