If he goes, then we are back to where we were for what felt like an eternity... No pace!... Ian Maatsen looks to have a little pace but generally, if Cornet goes, we are back to the one-pace attack that we moaned about for a very long time!... Probably something we can get away with at this level th...

BigChaCha

Another ridiculous consequence of that thing we aren’t allowed to talk about, if true. The same consequences that we have always had with other foreign countries outside a made-up cartel lol... And the other consequence is that we have seen far more young English players given a chance in this coun...

Young defence, very weak pre-season friendly matches, players that have been thrown together for the very first time and probably won't even know every player's name for months lol, new formation, new style, new management... I can honestly see us getting a few very severe beatings for a little whi...

Basic stuff for a Sunday league footballer.

Show me training footage of a recent Burnley player that displays anywhere near the technical ability shown here and I'll run naked down the centenary way!

BigChaCha

Nice enough video but that is really basic stuff for a professional footballer.

Somebody should have said this to the team that played last year!

BigChaCha

Attendances continued to be higher than any other prolonged period in the last 40 years. The club was playing in the premier league. It's hardly like they'd been struggling in the bottom half of the championship - in my view that's absolutely the time to be taking gambles on young players who might...

BigChaCha

Collins and McNeil were the two players we needed to build our promotion push around.

Extremely naive to think we would be building a team around our saleable assets... We were only ever going to keep 2 of them at best and even that is pushing it.

BigChaCha

I’m all for rating the lad but seriously?

Not my fault you've got an amateur eye.

BigChaCha

Yes but can he defend, can he win headers, can he time his tackles to block shots, is he prepared to take knocks for the team stopping the ball going in the net, can he organise...I'm much more interested in these things rather than can he tippy tappy passes about.. Sorry, I forgot this was Burnley...

BigChaCha

Have a look at the skills and ball control of Luke McNally in this video!... If you didn't already know he was a Central Defender, you'd think he was a creative outfield player or Striker after watching this... Super impressed -

We’ve already got FOUR strikers in our first team squad - Barnes, Rodriguez, Vydra and Twine Barnes is nearly 33 years old and hasn't pulled up any trees for a while... Similar situation with Rodriguez... Vydra is off long-term injured and will take most of the season before he's back up again and ...

BigChaCha

Phillips, Westwood, Cullen, Cork, Brownhill, Bastien is more than 4.

Cullen hasn't signed so that leaves 4 if you include proven players at this level or above... Anyone adding Phillips needs to give their head a wobble!

BigChaCha

I can’t see why we need so many midfielders really Err, we have 4 central midfielders, which is always the minimum requirement... Two of those are in the twilight of their careers and one of those CM's has a long-term injury layoff and another is constantly linked with a move away to the Premier Le...

What?

Burnley fans love a runner. That’s what they love.

A runner.
What?
Burnley fans have loved McIllroy, Morgan, Coates, Connelly, Blake, Little etc, etc.

You forgot to mention my all-time fave Burnley player... Ted McMinn, AKA,... 'The Tin Man'!

BigChaCha

Whilst I like Cornet and think he’d do well in the Championship, he seemed a bit injury prone to me Do you know his injury record prior to joining us?... It's very typical, especially in the first season for players to struggle with the number of games and pace of the Premier League when coming fro...

BigChaCha

I don't understand all the vitriol towards Wout when all he has done is be honest!... I much prefer that, instead of pretending you are happy but are desperate to leave!... All of the saleable assets we have are desperate to leave and play in the Premier League... Not one of them has said, "We got B...

I know a few Accy Stanley fans and none of them rate Mumbongo and my son who watches them said he is the worst footballer he has ever had to pay to watch!

BigChaCha

I’m honestly not bothered about missing out on Muleka. Can’t help but feel as though he was a risk. Could have obviously paid off but who knows. Would much rather see us go in for an established championship goal scorer. Unfortunately, the chances of us signing an established, proven goalscorer at ...

BigChaCha

Knight would be an impressive signing but we've probably left it far too late... We had the chance a few seasons ago when we were last linked to him and I would be very surprised if we were to beat some of the bigger clubs for his signature.

BigChaCha

McNeil has always seemed to me (on a mentality level) a bit of a shrinking violet/wouldn’t say boo to a goose type. I might be wrong entirely, it’s just what he projects on the pitch - as a result I don’t think he’ll be the type to be demanding a move. I could be WAY off here, just my thoughts! I h...

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/t ... a-21090186 Here is a link from just over a year ago where he was linked with a 25m move to Everton. I don't understand the particular relevance of linking an article of a year ago - we don't know they offered £25m, we obviously didn't sell him, he didn't ...

BigChaCha

Absolutely agree. IMO I think he's been a poor signing and I for one won't lose any sleep should he leave.

Yes very poor... Finishing the top scorer at the club and scoring a third of our goals was very poor! Good riddance to him.

Anyone expecting Crawley dropped could be waiting a while. The new coach loves him. He said thousands of batters can do the blocking, but not many can do the stuff he can. There's certainly a good batsman in there, and he times it as well as any. He just gets out too early at the minute. But this E...

Massively overrated... I struggle to find any meat in the potato and meat pie and it's like a pigs-swill that has been sewn into a wooden clog and then cooked for 10 minutes at the highest temp possible to make the crust inedible and as hard as a builders helmet, with the rest of the pastry as limp ...

BigChaCha

Okay, I will pack it in now for everyone's sake... You can't argue with stupid... I apologise.

BigChaCha

So having a bigger stadium so they can get more fans in makes them the bigger club lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄 😜 😆 😂 You missed the bit about them nearly filling that bigger stadium to capacity with their average over the last 5 years... An average that statistically overshadows us by a very large margin!... Pos...

BigChaCha

Samuel Bastien actually looks like a decent all-around player from the clips I've seen of him.

BigChaCha

So they're automatically a bigger club because the only thing that matters is population size of the town/city? So Rotherham and Warrington are bigger clubs than Burnley despite 1 not even having a football team. Aye alright then pal, you keep calling people deluded. Well done for taking a tiny sni...

BigChaCha

You’re wrong, but they are a similar sized club

Yep, more than a third larger average attendance, about a third bigger stadium and more than double the population

The only similarity is that we play in the same league!

BigChaCha

If you honestly think none of them players come to Burnley we might as well give up. Norwich are certainly not a bigger club in any sense of the word Absolutely no chance of signing any players like that and we haven't been linked or have signed any midfield players like that so that proves my poin...

BigChaCha

Keiran dowell plays for Norwich? Are they a bigger club now Norwich is 100% a bigger club than us and those names were just pulled out of a hat... More chance of seeing Stan Ternent chasing a blind man on a galloping horse through Duke Bar than signing any of them... Like I said, delusions of grand...

BigChaCha

Name me one player who we would be in the position to buy with part of the budget of a Brownhill sale who we could attract that is held in the same esteem by professionals and coaches, has more experience at the same levels as Brownhill at just 26 or under and would make the midfield stronger?... J...

BigChaCha

I think those pretending Brownhill's anything but bang average are living in cloud cuckoo land and were the same people on here all last season saying how sh**e and weak we were in central midfield. So you think that near enough all of our outfield player's form becoming progressively worse over th...

I've lived in many towns and have never met as many characters as I have as when I lived in Burnley and he was one of them. You don't seem to see them so much these days...

BigChaCha

Those wanting Brownhill out are living in cloud cuckoo land!... If we sell him, only a fraction will go back into the team and there is absolutely zero chance we will replace him with anything remotely as good unless we strike lucky with a young player and even then, it will take at least 2 or 3 sea...

BigChaCha

I still think we need to replace Cork, Westwood, Barnes and Rodriguez, who are all too old now for a season in the Championship. Am I asking for too much? Yes, you probably are asking too much... Even without replacing those 4 players that you just mentioned, we are likely to have close to 10 new p...

BigChaCha

A lot depends if all of our saleable assets leave and if any do stay, is also dependant on how many of them sulk or not!... If we lose them all, then I say, no chance of promotion... Not only will we be a totally different team but also an extremely young and inexperienced team and a team that is go...

BigChaCha

Did they watch him last season ? Yes, they'll know that as I predicted a few seasons ago and was proven right that SD knocked any bit of creativity out of him. They will also have seen the improvement in him after SD left while not under the straight-jacket of our coaching set-up and team structure...

From the recruitment he is doing, it suggests to me that he is heading in this direction yes Yes heading in that direction...

In all this talk of starting and back up centre halves, why do so many ignore the existence of Kevin Long? He's a fully-fledged international, had had many games at PL level where he's looked more than solid, and his experience will be invaluable amongst these young lads. It’s unlikely he’s anywher...

Wish we’d stop being linked with defenders and sign the players we actually need Errr... We have one established left-back... The 2 most experienced centre-backs have gone...

If it comes true and actually materialises, 'he' then retweets, quoting his original tweet claiming that he got it right and that he was the first to break the news

I doubt anyone described his as old and past it, you likely got him confused with Rodriguez, Barnes and the others we have. No, I did not because he specifically made the comment about our 3 central midfielders with all 3 names mentioned... I'm paraphrasing, but he one million per cent described hi...
