I don’t know much about Klich so I asked a Leeds supporting colleague about him, today. He really rated him and thought he would actually be better suited to the Premier League. It’s not quite what I’d have wanted in terms of profile (I’d prefer someone younger with potential resale and perhaps who ...

DCWat

I’d include the one from The Orient Game

Ian Moore is a good shout although I’m not sure who or how many ‘rated him’.

Plenty rated Martin Paterson. For me, he was hugely overrated (goal at Reading aside).

Step 1: Speak to the individual. Step 2: Speak to your line manager If this was a first instance, it could quite easily be a joke misconstrued. Harassment and bullying should in no way be tolerate but we have become a society all too willing to jump to the worst conclusion (of course this may not be...

Seems really popular with the teens. Is it worth watching for us slightly older lot?

I’m expecting to see more from Taylor. He’s certainly started to show his worth, after perhaps not the most promising of starts. I’d like to see him progress more offensively now (an area that was his strength at Leeds), similar to Trippier’s development. Focus firstly on getting the defending right...

Or a big pile of Premier League TV money. Put it this way, last season we would have had 8 players earning £100k a week on top of our existing squad and we'd have still made a profit. I assume from reading some of your posts, aggi, that you’d advocate more of an increase in terms of wages. What wou...

It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

They’d drop like a stone without him and would need to very quickly pay wages that were within their means.

Not one post has suggested that. It’s of course much easier to do with a nice pile of legitimately earned Russian money to fund the wages.

DCWat

Delph and Milner would both be players I’d love to see in in a Dyche team. Quality and the prerequisite work rate to go with it.

DCWat

Of them all, is it fair to say there’s probably only football that could be classed as a ‘world’ game?

DCWat

This is a good a shout as any. Fits the bill (Irish) and is the sort of box to box midfielder that suits the 4-4-2 we will be playing. Only 28 too. Only issue is his fitness which is why we shouldn’t mess about and get him in early so he gets a full pre season with us. Good player - my concern is t...

The standard of the league would drop. Not just because it would become a less saleable package, against a European Super League, but because those in the Super League would hoover up all the talent. If it does happen, it’s down to greed and therefore probably likely! It’d spoil football even more t...

We expect that. And if the Conservative members elect him then clearly that's what they want. Not even sure that is a consideration, especially when seeing members questioned on their preference, on the news. The responses I’ve heard tend to focus either on him being a bloody jolly chap or getting ...

He should have stayed in situ and forced Bojo to back him or sack him. Made him show what sort of leader he will be.

One who jumps when Donald says so, unfortunately.

The Pope new contract surprised me. I’d wrongly assumed that he would be the one we cashed in for and that Tom would likely see out his days with us.

Nobody's turned it into a Farage/Robinson thread. We're discussing blatant hypocrisy and deceit - or at least the OP and several others seem to think we are. You might support these "bellends", a few of your "likes" certainly do, you might not. FWIW, I think Attenborough's good ...

There’s a bit of numb nuttery about this one. It’s a position that we needed cover for, and cover that would provide competition to Taylor. We’ve ticked both boxes, whilst bringing the age of the squad down. Yes we need to improve the first XI but this wasn’t the position in which to do this. Gettin...

It’s not really convincing though that he buys Kia Cars or eats crumpets himself. I think you should endorse only what you believe in.

Not sure it’s all negativity, Tony. Maybe some though :) Being able to get signings in early would certainly be of benefit, assuming of course it’s the right players. Dyche himself has said that would be his preference. Integrating players into the first team is not always, but often, quite a length...

DCWat

The notion that the more seasons they spend in the top flight the better prepared Burnley will be to compete on wages and transfer fees was always a false one. I think it’s a sensible approach to build up something of a defence against relegation, in terms of money in the coffers. It’s at what poin...

Shame we didn’t look at McGinn when is was up north. That’s the type of player I think we need and who was available well within our budget. Hendrick is useful as a utility player but in fairness, we’ve much better in any of the positions that he plays. There has to come a point where we are looking...

He’s said he would ideally like to get players in earlier. He’s also said that he has constraints that make transfers more difficult in an expensive market. By the same token, he’s also said that he would never want to risk the clubs future and accepts the market that we have to work within. I’m sur...

The key point is that Dyche himself has said his preference would be to have his signings in earlier. It’s therefore fair to assume that, for whatever reason, it’s difficult to achieve this. What we don’t know is whether this is down to our strategy, budgets or something else. Other clubs certainly ...

Dyche will and should have the final say, but I’d hope that Rigg is slowly but surely building up a wider pool of players from which to choose from.

Dyche presumably identifies a type of player profile he’s after and Rigg will hopefully present some options within x criteria.

Absolutely ridiculous, there were more than one man to blame that day, how guilty are the thousands upon thousands that turned up with no tickets. “Lord Justice Taylor, in his 1990 report into the disaster, concluded fans were reasonable to arrive between 14.30 and 14.40 as match tickets only reque...
