Very encouraging to hear how blown away by the training ground and facilities that he is also. He's coming from a club with 10 league titles and saying.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

I can't enjoy any of his work because I hate the song 'sunscreen' so much.

Has this been confirmed?

He's now a free agent as his contract has expired. It's safer to say he's going rather than he's staying at this point.

How many times have you watched him to form that opinion ?

A couple, had a disaster on his debut for Forest, shipped two really poor goals.

Also started England's 4-0 win in Kosovo in 2019, and didn't look great.

As I said, hopefully I will be gladly proven wrong though.

Turkish Journalist saying Muric available for £4m. Burnley are currently working to finalise a deal.

Not that keen on this guy, looks excellent with his feet, passing range is top quality, but looks a bit of a liability in almost every other area.

Hopefully he'll prove me wrong.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Cornet in for training yesterday has to be a good sign. I think his style is right up Vinny's street...hopefully. If so, it would be a remarkable negotiation by VK & Pace to get him stay. The VK pulling power is still very much there. Doesn't really signify anything at all. He'd be fined and lose m...

We need a striker now as a priority

Be interested to see what sort of funds we have available for that

We probably need two really..

I think we were expecting that Vyrdra would stay, but it seems he's not.

Weghorst gone and Cornet more than likely to go.

That leaves Barnes and Rodriguez.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Plenty of sources in Belgium are claiming that Jackson Bastien deal is complete.

Looks a very shrewd signing, West Ham tried to sign him for 11m almost a year ago.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Reports in Belgium today that Muleka did not arrive for training and could not be contacted Bastian was not there either Probably because he's signing for Besiktas. They pay quite big money in wages, despite not forking out big fees. Feeling is that he probably held out for them because the money w...

Just found out ifollow charge £10 per game They do a full season package. That fee is for one-off games that they allow to be shown midweek domestically. On iFollow a whole season pass is £140, Burnley are doing their own version of it, so it could be more or could be less. Still much cheaper that ...

Does it make a difference that Bastien is Belgian-born? I 'm just asking as I don't know the answer I'm not sure on the status of that because he represents DR Congo, Belgium birth would give him more points, but I don't know if they go off birthplace or nation represented. Presume he has a Congole...

Speaking of Jones i also remember his home debut against Crewe where he scored two (if my memory is accurate). I'm sure one of them was quite a good goal too. I remember looking at my dad and thinking omg we could have a real player here. I've never been more wrong in my life. Yes. We all thought w...

Makes sense. Standard Liege will be a band 1 club, which is why Bastien deal can continue.

Mine would be a 1-0 home victory to (I think) Southend - I believe Payton scored, that sticks in my mind as it's the first game I recall attending with any clarity. Another would be a 2-0 (I think) defeat at Bramall Lane, I remember Carl Asaba scoring - first away game I remember. Think I was at th...

Burnley 2-1 Leeds United, November 2006, Steve Jones finest game in a Claret and Blue shirt. Unplayable that day.

Andy Gray and Gifton Noel-Williams with the goals. David Healy with a late consolation.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

I'd say that looks pretty good with 5 weeks to go before the game. Should be close to a full house.

He may well have done, but if I may refer back to my 'darts' comment. As far as exclusives go, Nixon is light years behind the likes of Fabrizio Romano. Nixon is easily the best when it comes to Burnley. Fabrizio Romano much better when it comes to the wider picture, bigger clubs and European busin...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Got to say that Nixon has been spot on this window with all four signings, being the first to break at least a couple of them.

It's clear he knows one or two agents rather than someone within the club.

He's not said anything about Mukela and Bastien.

Jay will probably do alright, he's technically a very good footballer.

Barnes is as far the opposite of a VK type player as you can find.

Hope to be proven wrong.

Hi UTCFCBK, what is it about the Championship that is so special that footballers who've played at a higher level are at a disadvantage when they are playing against footballers who've no experience of playing in the Premier League?

I was talking about Rodriguez, but both him and Barnes will score plenty in the Championship.

Maybe so, but I don't think you can class either of them as established and proven at this level.

14 and 15 goal seasons, how old was he 20ish?

UpTheClaretsFCBK

It's a good job we already have one who has just signed a new contract then. Who are you talking about? Jay Rodriguez has only played one season at this level in the last decade, granted he got 22, but to be 'established' at this level he'd have to play a few seasons at least Ashley Barnes' best se...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Unfortunately, the chances of us signing an established, proven goalscorer at this level are slim and none and slim's out of town!.. Whatever striker we decide to buy, it's going to be a gamble with a large element of risk. Watford and Boro are battling out to get Adam Armstrong on loan. Surely we'...

Seen a few accounts state that there's work permit problems. I did think that when we moved for him.

Let's hope with have another striker on the radar because we certainly need it.

Wrexham 1-0 99/00. My first Burnley away game and Payton scored the winner. Think it was his 200th career goal.

Most certainly wasn't a game of no real significance, given we finish second that season and had to win on the final day to seal it.

Doesn’t sound like Besiktas have a pot to **** in. I’ll bet that Weghorst only does a year there, as they don’t be able to afford the “option”. They must be skint.

Also, on the subject of Muleka, I wouldn’t write it off yet. I remember last summer how Cornet was desperate to join Hertha Berlin ahead of us - and he probably was. The bottom line is that Lyon only agreed a sale price with us, so he had to take Burnley’s offer or stay at a club that didn’t want h...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Big problem with that one is that they only have 5 senior players contracted at the moment.

Tough for them to let any go unless it’s an outrageous offer.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Practically no chance of getting for that game unless you can convince someone with a lot of loyalty points to buy them for you.

Belgian press seem to be reporting the Muleka deal isn’t happening. HLN also suggesting we will make a bid for Josh Cullen: ‘Another likely to leave is Josh Cullen (26).

Can't see them taking Mukela as well.

Probably a ploy to get the Weghorst deal cleared quicker.

Just had a search around the Muleka story and it states that he wants to play for Besiktas, and they await a decision from Standard Liege. If Besiktas haven’t agreed a few with Standard then there is nothing doing with that . This is from a Turkish journalist , possibly trying to stir the pot in or...

How many goals did Richarlison score.

It doesn't matter, he's Brazilian, so he's instantly worth 50m+

UpTheClaretsFCBK

That's why having excellent recruitment in place is key, to pick these players up BEFORE they make a name for themselves and are suddenly in the 10m+ bracket. Toney was picked up by Brentford for 8m, fired them to the PL and now would be a 30m+ sale. 30m+ is a hell of a fee for a 12 goal PL striker...
