Ahhh.... But would he be better than Lennon or Brady, if he played in the wing?

Yes I know the new club call but hey ho.... Burnley chairman Mike Garlick insists the Clarets remain focused on ending the transfer window stronger than they started it heading into the final 10 days of January. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/burnley-transfer-news-mike-garlick-...

He looks like he's carrying his 9 year old sister's bag...... or a rather tackily wrapped Xmas pressie

Sums it up nicely.

Suspect that’s north of a grands worth of ruck sack. You can’t buy taste though.

Pope - 9 MOM
Beardsley - 7
Mee - 5
Tarkowski - 7
Taylor - 7
McNeil - 6
Cork - 7
Westwood - 6
Hendrick - 6
Jay Rod - 7

I think we all know that BennyD is referring to those with significant mental impairment, often visually detectable but very different to a mental illness.

I just wish that we used this, and this alone, for remembering those sadly lost.

I can’t remember the last time I saw any team playing with a sweeper, let alone Burnley.

“On the Cork debate - I didn't think he was fouled at the time but I've seen it back and he clearly was. Quite how that goal has been allowed I don't know.” It might have helped if Cork or any other player for that matter had complained to the ref. We have just seen united do just that when De Gea ...

That was my first impression too, Tony.

Seeing it back, I can’t understand why it wasn’t picked up by VAR

He gave the ball away for their goal

Looked a foul to be fair.

DCWat

Cork was head and shoulders above the rest of the midfield, in the first half.

DCWat

I’m expecting Cork to get lower ratings than Westwood. He shouldn’t do, he should get higher... We will see.

DCWat

Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, cross, goal.

It’s doable and it’s nice to see.

DCWat

Although just heard it was a clear foul and not a mistake by Cork

DCWat

Barring the mistake (which actually began with Bardsley passing back to Westwood (?)) instead of sideways, Cork has been head and shoulders above Westwood today.

DCWat

A fair assessment of that would be to look at the cost and what they have made, compared to the cost of running an academy and what they made from that. If I recall correctly, the assessment of whether or not they were benefitting from their approach, was a look at their overall financial position, ...

DCWat

Cork is the best of our midfield options.

I mentioned Brentford as an example of a team identifying players, giving them a route to the first team and making some big profits on the sale of some players. I hadn’t realised that they’d rebuffed the whole EPPP system (good on them) and taken an entirely different route. Thinking outside the bo...

Worked well for Bradford City

DCWat

Without meaning to be disparaging if a player has been unable to break into the first team at so many places and is constantly out on loan maybe he should think of training to be a plumber or something. There have been library books out on loan less. If most young blokes had a chance at a football ...

She doesn't look like the sort that would worry about that .... and the speed the excrement left her rear end as she evacuated her bowels suggests it was a bit loose

That must have been more than a single wiper! That was definitely no ghost poo!

If that is true, it doesn't seem like we've learned a single thing from our Summer of failure. Securing his services on loan was a longshot, trying to sign him permanently would have been a complete waste of time. Chasing after players that we like the look of, instead of quality players that we ha...

His value is in his ability to be something of a utility man. He’s not the best player by any means but he’s a great asset to the squad as a whole.

It doesn't work like that. He's hardly played since he signed for us. It's not as simple as 11m - 7m.

No, I agree it’s a rather simplistic statement, but I’d be surprised if we were prepared to lose 4 million in under a year, on a player that it appears is attracting interest.

If Vydra was to go to Bristol City, I think that would be a fair swap, without us adding cash to the deal too.

Their player valued at 7m for ours purchased for 11m?

DCWat

They’ve turned down a loan for Shaqiri already (from abroad) according to BBC sport.

He’d be a great signing for us and many others in the PL. way outside our cash limits though.

I absolutely agree Bodge and I have no issue whatsoever with us playing what many see as crap football, which to a large extent we've done since we got into the PL. After all I was travelling all over the country watching us play crap football in Div 4 for many years, so I'm definitely not complain...

Just because we aren’t as wealthy as other clubs doesn’t mean we have to suck the life and joy out of everything. Other teams manage to pass a ball and survive in this league without spunking billions. For some reason a large contingent of Burnley fans have bought the rhetoric that Sean’s way is th...

Always preferred Panasonic TVs although got a Sony KD series last year and really impressed.

Trouble with TVs - no sooner have you bought a good one, it’s soon old hat.

When you buy a new TV make sure you buy it from somewhere with good customer service and warranty support like John Lewis or Richer Sounds. Join Richers VIP club and you can get a 6 year warranty, John Lewis is 5. Some bespoke, or specialist AV retailers are also very good. You want to avoid places...

We have them IMO, we just don't use them, unfortunately. As suggested, McNeil, Jayrod and Vydra could all probably do a decnt job in that role, but it's just not how we are set up to play. I wonder if last season put pay to transition, for a while at least. The poor run, ended with us going back to...

Its scary to think what the likes of Hart, Drinkwater, Gibson, Vydra and Wells have taken in wages for little or no return. That's where all the money is going. All seems very contradictory when we hear how well run and sensibly cautious we are / have been. It doesn’t quite add up. Undoubtedly an o...

What’s most alarming for me is the wage bill. It’s not massive by premier league terms but when we’ve not really improved the first eleven for quite some time, it’s surprising how high it is.

God help any needy ex players etc. that didn’t manage to hit the big earner leagues.

How the hell Harvey has ever managed to reach and stay in the positions he’s held, is beyond me.

I’ve bought from abroad and had to pay customs and excise before they would release the item.

The company I recently bought from reimbursed the tax, upon proof of payment to C&E although that’s the first time - usually just have to pay the rate.

Passing the ball very well (both short and long) closing down quickly, winning second balls, playing with a tempo and not afraid to take a man on.

I hate them but fair play to them, and from what I’ve seen, it’s not just because it’s a cup game.

Things have gone off kilter lately but some of the comments about Dyche are at the very best, disrespectful.

If he's getting injured in that sort of game, he's in big trouble. Peterborough didn't lay a glove on us when we had possession, and never attempted a press or a tackle. Worrying.

I’m not sure that the hamstring works like that.

Totally agree John. We’re not in the Championship struggling for cash - player and supporter welfare is of primary Importance, grabbing a few quid (at the most a few million) that doesn’t make a huge difference on the pitch shouldn’t be worth it if even one life is ruined by these promotions (and m...
