I’ve been surprised how many long balls we have gone for.

Currently rank third in the league for the most long balls with an average of 58 a game.

For reference under Dyche we were averaging 68.

That's obvious that's the common sense thing to do, if you are planning to sell something & want the highest price for it you need to demonstrate what they are about & allow them to showcase their talent & it stands to reason with more game time the likelihood of improvement thus guaranteeing maxim...

You really think Kompany picks the team to get financial compensation down the road rather than winning the game? I doubt VK will get any financial gain. I suspect the clubs ethos is about trying to get as much money from player sales as possible and league position comes secondary. So the young la...

Newcastleclaret93

I'm not sure how you can say that with such certainty given how few minutes Benson has played at this level. Just from what I have seen. It’s the same why I was saying last season that Foster will be good in the prem (even though his championship was poor). Benson has all the attributes to be succe...

Newcastleclaret93

It's all supposition given how little he's played, although I don't think Benson would have had the same impact those two have. Just my opinion, of course. Tbf they have shown flashes of real talent and I think both will more than likely be better players. But I suspect there’s financial reasons as...

Interesting that you don't mention Koleosho or Odobert.

They have been decent but can’t say I think either are better than Benson.

So you are suggesting that someone who thinks they know more about football on a message board than a professional manager isn't a plank ? Your classification of 'abuse' is pathetic. I suggest you add me to your foe list

Literally not one person has suggested that haha

the guy with 4 Premier League titles, 2 FA Cups, 4 League Cups and 89 international caps thinks they are. Pretty sure he knows more about it than every single one of us on here

If that’s the barometer than Alex Ferguson must have been **** at picking a player

Ultimately they’ll have no choice if there are no release clauses, so that remains to be seen. I’ll personally think we were daft if we signed players with release clauses.

I suspect there will be a fair few with similar deals to Weghorst

Newcastleclaret93

Well yes, which is why they are getting game time. With the possible exceptions, Redmond and JBL. Collectively the 5 players you have mentioned have 8 goal contributions in 67 Apps. None of them really been particularly impressive or shown anything to suggest there better than better than benson

Yes Trafford has struggled to make the step up. He starting to come good now.

The last thing team needs is another project

What a load of rubbish.... Brilliant as it was, and not just at Ewood.. It does not guarantee a place in any future team, and certainly not at a higher level

We are not going to be a higher level though, we are playing championship football in 7 months. A league we Know Benson will destroy

the top teams are comfortably high end Championship level, to suggest otherwise is staggering.

Yes and the lower end teams are league 2 at best. The standard of the league is not the same level the championship. Pretty certain VK alluded that it was a step up when he came to Burnley.

Newcastleclaret93

No but the point is that money is already accounted for, wolves signed cunha on loan from a.Madrid and it was made perm after 1 game

I don’t believe the money will be accounted for until the permanent transfer goes through? That won’t be until the summer window

Newcastleclaret93

I can understand this if we are on 20 points and scoring, but we are on 11 points and 2nd lowest in chance creation and goals. So whatever we have been doing has been struggling to work. Benson has had 12 minutes since the Villa home game back in August. I’m amazed he hasn’t been on longer at the t...

In this right here is our ‘Moneyball’ model. Fall in love with players at your peril: losing Benny for a decent profit might allow us to keep three or four of Koleosho, Zaroury, Odebert, Foster, Amdouni….

All of them players will leave.

Similar to Weghorst none will want championship football

Him and Foster yes.

I was under the impression the only reason he wasn’t playing was because he was injured. That’s appears untrue.

I genuinely can’t believe it

This has got to be because of our finances I can’t think of any other reason we move him out in current position

I think Brentford and Brighton make a good fist of it as a modern example.

I think it's the radical change we are undergoing that has fans having polar opposite thoughts.

Tbf neither of them are examples of the model we are following

Newcastleclaret93

It's only gone wrong if the Board think that's the case. Maybe they see the potential of the young crop of players as a better long term solution than having ageing experience with no resale value. Also older player 'demand' more money than young potential and not all are willing to go the extra ya...

I guess there’s nothing wrong with being a feeder club & continually flog them on at a profit but like you say it’s soul destroying if that’s the objective with no tangible benefit.

Has Kompany not already developed these players in such a short space of time.

Newcastleclaret93

Not sure how any of the post you’ve quoted is ‘absolute rubbish’ Everything he has said is true. £100m is pittance in this league. Sure, Luton are currently doing better than us. But the season hasn’t finished yet and our development seems quite obvious in most areas to me. He’s saying he doesn’t b...

Newcastleclaret93

We were promoted into a billionaire league, but football skill rules the day. his philosophy is at odds with the easy money of the city and arsenal elite,...

You were one saying what a tough league the Champ was and how we’d be mid table when we went down. Kompany signed a whole new squad and walked the league. He replaced a squad assembled by a manager you now highly rate despite slagging him to high heaven whilst he was here but also saying that the s...

To be fair, there were a hell of a lot of people questioning the transfer window.

The last day of the transfer window is littered with posts about not signing a LB, CM would result in a poor season.

Just go back and have a look

Newcastleclaret93

It should be crystal clear to all but dimwits that Kompany has it figured out. The team is improving as he said it would. Cant argue with his intent and commitment. Nobody around could come in and make it better. We are in transition, and his squad under his guidance will come good . No doubt about...

We will only lose 2 or 3, Foster, Kolesho maybe Brownhill. There is enough quality left for that league. I suspect you’re underestimating how many will want away. One of Trafford or Muric will defo be gone. (Potentially both) Cork, Jay, JBG all likely to go. Odobert, Amdouni and Tresor will more th...
