What impressed me most about Tella last season was how clinical he was in front of goal. When he got chances, he stayed calm and finished. We currently don't have a better finisher at the club. He's not irreplaceable, but he's technically better than a few are giving him credit for. His physicality...

I don’t think either fit Vinny’s criteria

Well, I think Spice has nailed the reasons why he's under consideration

Tella, Maatsen and THB all did so well for us last season that they are now essentially out of our price range

We buy low and sell high now

Based on ?

Younger, more highly rated and not been out for 18 months

Happy enough with Redmond to be honest

Certainly better than Townsend

Lancasterclaret

In a race as tight as this, that press bike could have cost him the Tour though

Certainly contributed to him switching off so he lost the bonus points

Fantastic stage though

Like anyone with half a brain can? Classic Nixon - Burnley have a ‘bit going on’ So when we undoubtedly sign someone within the next few weeks he can say ‘told you all’ Absolutely anyone can do that 🤣 And people on here are quite happy to retweet the accounts who have blatantly taken it from an act...

Lancasterclaret

Nixon isn't always right, not even close, but he's a sports journalist with enough experience to see through the s**t

I'd rather people retweeted him as a source than the likes of Football League World, the various Burnley Bantz accounts and "independent sports journalists"

Why bother to put links on here when you can just read people moaning about people putting links on here?

Lancasterclaret

I would add that Foster seems very likely to me to improve and Weghorst does not Yeah, but Weghorst doesn't have to improve that much to be capable at this level, while Foster is still very young and has a long way to go (but like you, looked a lot more like it as the season went on, but its still ...

Not just that in particular. I'm more thinking of the BLM kneeling, Rainbow laces, the box ticking on most football broadcasts with female pundits and commentators etc. It'll be climate change next.

Uh huh

Times do change and its for the better

Lancasterclaret

I've got mixed feelings about this. I don't take part in any such chants, I find them immature and distasteful. But I don't feel offended by them either. They're just silly chants at a football match. They aren't to be taken literally and don't really mean anything. I didn't get offended when Black...

If you are still chanting stuff like this then that is almost certainly the least of your problems

Watching the training video ,even there he seemed to be demanding the ball a lot of the time as if it’s all about “Me Me Me “ ,I think he’s a legend in is own mind.

This thread has huge potential for the expert watchers of club videos it has to be said

Lancasterclaret

He works hard, but without effect. He had these pressing monster stats, but watching the game, the press was broadly ineffective, with him lumbering about behind the player, rather than disrupting them. I didn’t think he did influence or contribute much at United, and there was one game in particul...

Lancasterclaret

What about players who weren’t good enough for Burnley before they moved to Man Utd? He’s lumbering, with no acceleration. Weak, and easily muscled off the ball, tall, but terrible in the air. He’s clearly a good technical player, as his time in Germany would show, but he’s shown nothing in 2 half ...

Lancasterclaret

I have no idea

Its been there since I can remember though, used to play kids football on the pitches next to it back in the day, and my kids have both played on those pitches as well

The O’Shea signing looks more bizarre the more you look at it. Really struggling to see the logic in that one as we continue to look for more centre back options. It’s a sizeable fee that could have made a difference in attempts at to sign Tella, THB, Maatsen etc. Happy to be proven wrong but seems...

Better. His entrance this morning highlighted his reluctance to be here. Wherever his heart is I don't know but it's not with Burnley Football Club. I think we had a happy dressing room last season and I don't want that to change.

Which bit of the video highlighted that?

Lancasterclaret

we wont run out of weapons surely ? The arms companies must be having a field day !! I don't see any way in which Ukraine loses tbh but it's just how long it goes on for and how many people they lose. Ukraine can only lose if we spend all our time arguing about stuff like "are we being thanked enou...

Except for the supposed Trafford transfer fee, it all feels a bit too familiar with how we handled transfers under the previous regime. It seems like we identify players, put in repeated low-ball bids, and ultimately get nowhere. Cases in point being Jack Clarke, Nathan Tella and the Georgian forwa...

Or another target we enquired about suddenly became available when we found an alternative option?

You do wonder if the news that THB might well be available has influenced our decision here

Arguments that he's good are fine with me and completely reasonable given in foreign leagues he's clearly shown a lot more than he has in the Premier League.

I'm willing to accept some people might be excited about us signing someone who had played really poorly for United because he had played at all for them I suppose, but I have to caveat that those people would be weird. I'm willing to accept being weird I think the argument is simply that his game ...

That doesn't change that nobody would be excited about signing him based on him playing for United, though. Because he was crap.

I'm still realistic enough to get excited about United rejects coming to us!

Lancasterclaret

Might open the door for TBH if thats the case, but I think we were probably focused on the Left hand side The mandatory purchase thing (especially if we got relegated) worried me somewhat so I'm not too fussed about this Mind you, I know absolutely nothing about him so he could be well worth it for...

The games he played for United were on telly and everyone who watched saw he was crap

People who aren't very good for United might well be good enough for Burnley

I’m trying to take the emotion and history out of it. He had a great 30 minutes at the World Cup then a decidedly underwhelming few months at United (essentially because of those 30 minutes). Personally I’m hoping he’s only back to get himself fit in lieu of a move. He played a lot more times for U...

Lancasterclaret

I just wonder how excited I’d be to see him rock up if he’d never played for Burnley before and all I knew about him was his World Cup cameo and his half season at United. I’m not sure I’d see it as a great signing. Its not a fair comparison though Its not a new signing, its a player returning from...

Lancasterclaret

Its going to be fun either way

What I like best about discussions on him is the desire to make up stuff about him based on him having a verbal agreement to leave if we got relegated and a ten second altercation in a Wales v Holland match

I like Tella, he’s a footballer with talent and potential, but I’m not overly worried if he doesn’t come back this season. His improvement as the season went on was nothing short of phenomenal - Him and Beyer are the two players from last season I really want to sign because it looks like they can ...
