We already have the replacement. Walters. Like when Iwelumo replaced Fletcher even though he wasnt meant to be the replacement!

Its not amazing really. Given the squad they have. They rarely have to get out of second gear domestically.

Wood is average in my opinion. Replacing our most valuable striker with a player whos best season to date is the exact same as Rouwen Hennings - 17 in Bundesliga 2 is not a recipe for success.

The bundesliga outside Bayern and one or two others is very poor standard. And HSV have been one of the biggest underachievers for years. Wood is an average player in a poor team.

Thats all well and good. But sometimes the collective is better than the individual components and I definitely feel that is the case.

Vokes is a good player. And fantastic alongside a smaller, faster player. Lets hope we get that in rather than leaving vokes up top on his own.

Its not as good as it used to be. But still plenty of talent coming through. Hopefully with the investment in the Milan clubs might make it more competitive. I am going to Chelsea on Saturday with an Inter fan who also follows Burnley. I will have a word with him and my pals in Montenegro to see if ...

Quite like the look of Zapata. Has the key ingredients for success in the PL, and what we need: Pace, power, big lad, can handle the loan role if required. Granted he hasn't been banging in the goals but we're unlikely to find a 15-20 goal season striker within our budget. A season loan with an agr...

Not convinced that Long is clinical enough to be what we really need, although his ability to play wide and up front would be attractive. He's on big old wages too. Mame Biram Diouf might be one shout, who is relatively well established in the Premier League and reportedly not completely happy play...

I really hope so he is exactly what we need. Cant see it though.

It's pretty common for clubs towards the bottom end of the ladder to sell players before replacing them - that's just the nature of the game. Beating the club with a stick over this before waiting to see the end result of the transfer window is as stupid as it is predictable. Problem is we have sol...

Has anyone thought of the possibility that we're having to sell Grey to help finance a better player (with a more substantial wage) coming here.

Has anyone thought if he was available Watford would have just gone for him?

I love Vokes. Probably one of my favourite Burnley players ever. But he wont score 20 goals just with a change of style.

Looks like Agyei is now number 3. With Gray going and on the Gray thread CT Confirming Walters is Boyds replacement.

Lets hope he is up to it! He has shown the promise.

cricketfieldclarets

Id genuinely prefer Marvin Sordell. At least he has a good attitude to go with his lack of premier league ability.

cricketfieldclarets

I cant believe anyone thinks losing gray is good business. If we dont replace him with like for like we will be the easiest team in british football to defend against.

We could pretty much cherry pick anyone we fancied from Sparta Prague now they are out of the Europa League. Sural could be worth a punt for a start Beaten by my favourite serb team. Red Star. With goals by Richmond Boakye. Absolute beast who is on fire. He averages a goal a game for them. Ex Juve....

Signings: Legzdins. Unlikely to play. But if he does hes nowhere near the standard Robinson on the field and probably not off either. Not an improvement. Bardsley. Second choice.

Can't agree with that.

Hopefully weve got a replacement all but confirmed ...

If this means our younger keepers can get loaned out and also we save money to spend on a winger, centre back and striker for the first 11 great. If have preferred someone better. But its a case of balancing risk for a third choice keeper. We have more pressing concerns. That said I hope we dont see...

Any photos or footage I have seen doesn't show enough for arrests. The police should have more though.

Although it was tongue in cheek, yeah we should be able to play anyone. All clubs have a reputation and hooligan element.

But that's entirely the point. Why should a homosexual relationship have to be "private business" and "behind closed doors" when a heterosexual relationship doesn't?

One things for sure, in Germany and wider europe the punishment is far less than it is here. They wont be getting 10+ year bans thats for sure.

Police weren't responsible for sentencing after looking at the facts through non-tinted spectacles. Just a thought. But they are responsible for the arrests and the charges. The sentencing is then based on guidelines of the charges they received. But this was a debate 8 years ago on the old forum.

Looks a good option. Like Spice says scores all different goals and looks to have pace.
