Zuber just joined VfB Stuttgart on loan until the end of the season :( Hopefully, all of this "reactive" wait and see twaddle will lead to something good, but I'm beginning to doubt it. The chance of us paying over the odds for a player, bringing in a risky take a punt option, or relaxing the window...

If we can't negotiate the purchase of a player how would we go on with a bid for the club?

Taking into account their pricing policy it would be £1m for a parking space. The club could set us back at least £100bn.

Have we ever signed anyone successfully from west brom? genuine question as i cant remember us doing so in the last ten years. Doesn't look like it, unless we count Steven Reid on a free transfer, but the same could be said for a few clubs. https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-burnley/alletransfers/ver...

Zuber is still my top pick for a new first team winger addition, hasn't changed since my "who would you bring in for 25m" post in November. The rumour mill has been linking him with Leeds and a loan/buy move over the past few days. It has been suggested Hoffenheim are looking for a fee in the region...

Personally, if we're going after players of this profile, I'd sooner go after Nick Powell from Wigan, who is out of contract in the summer and therefore potentially available at a relatively modest fee.

Are we talking about the same strict personality tests that saw us sign Joey Barton, Andre Gray, Jeff Hendrick and supposedly chase Troy Deeney? Yup, those are the ones. We desperately needed to fill specific slots when Joey and Andre came in, so we took something of a chance on both of them. It co...

Bradley Dack has a very widely publicised reputation for being a complete knob. If we went in for him it would make a complete mockery of our "personality is important" criteria.

We weren't at our best, but all respect to Barnsley they put in a good performance and it was an unfortunate way for them to lose. Nice to see Pope, Wardy and Defour return to the pitch. Dwight put in another creditable performance, hopefully his young legs will recover quickly for Fulham, because h...

McNeil getting 90 minutes would be a big positive. JBG on for me, switch Dwight to the left flank in place of Taylor or take him off to rest. The brief scare in the first half made me jittery. He has done okay, showed some nice touches, but he favours his left foot which makes him less effective on...

The lads look a lot happier and up for it.

Platonic wink from Hendrick to the attractive brunette in the tunnel. Lets hope he can score on the pitch today.

Really good to see Pope, Ward, Defour and Vydra back in the lineup.

Long Time Lurker

Very surpised by some of the picks and positions. Somebody in the Burnley office pick a lineup sweepstakes won big or nobody did. A strong team and we will get to see how good Dwight is on the right.

£7m was an okay price for him, providing that Stoke switch things around and start playing him to best effect.

Full back is an interesting shout.
