If we get (broadly speaking) our money back and Weghorst gets his chance at a massive club, everyone’s a winner really. Would have been interesting to see him in this side as I think he’d suit it but he’s perhaps not the profile in age that Kompany (and Pace) want to operate with. Getting £10m or so...

jedi_master

Southampton at home would be great. I think we’d batter them.

jedi_master

Kompany may well fancy having a look at him. Trouble is, there’s far too many on here who have written him off so he’d just be a scapegoat I’m afraid. As much as I’d love to see him play in this team, I think sadly we have seen the last of him. Without diverting this into one of the forty Weghorst ...

jedi_master

I wonder if Kompany would want him if we went up…

Just thinking as to whether it’s to our benefit if this has an obligation to buy clause or not.

I thought he turned an ankle, whilst controlling a pass and turning

Yes also possible - clearly foot/ankle. Could just be a sprain but even a bad one of those you’re looking at a month out.

jedi_master

If it was a broken or fractured foot he wouldn’t have been hanging around in a boot at the end of the game. You can certainty see why we’re after another centre-half though. McNally finished the game quite well but had a few very nervous moments. I’m no Doctor but I’ve broken my foot before and bee...

jedi_master

I could be totally wrong but I just think if they were gonna do it, it would have happened. Plus they got Orsic.

jedi_master

Looked a bad one just on the basis of his reaction. Hard to tell what it was, but could be a broken/fractured foot or something like this (metatarsal etc). Pure speculation obviously, just what occurred when it happened and then seeing him in his boot at the end.

jedi_master

Doubt that. Just being very cautious after such a long time out, I think. Waiting for the right game to throw him into, probably more likely to see him when we are a goal or 2 down and facing a low block. I can’t see us being two goals down in the near future! Yes he might get a chance against a lo...

jedi_master

Both of these will each net us more than we got for Keane, Collins or Wood.

In my opinion.

Twine getting no minutes again. You have to start to wonder....

Yeah, maybe he’s going to get loaned out. He seems a long way from Kompany’s thoughts currently, as far as we can see.

jedi_master

McNally and Barnes very good today.

I just hope THB is ok, but otherwise, superb!

jedi_master

Barnes has been magnificent. Starts v Cov.

jedi_master

I’m sure Brownhill is hoping Bournemouth follow their alleged interest up isn’t he

jedi_master

You know, I moan we played a good team cos of THB’s injury, but it’s bloody fun watching how easily we deal with **** PL sides. Very confident this team would be safe in the PL.

jedi_master

Onside

jedi_master

I’ve not missed this ********.

jedi_master

VAR….

jedi_master

Really lovely between Barnes and unselfish from Brownie. Brilliant.

jedi_master

Need to hope Maatsen is alright so that we can move Taylor back inside with Beyer whilst we wait for THB.

jedi_master

THB injured - and this is why I see the teamsheet with these players and really wish we’d put squad players in. It’s just not worth this risk.

jedi_master

Bar the error by Cullen we look a league higher than these.

jedi_master

Played a blind pass, didn’t even look.

jedi_master

Great ball from JBG there for Benny. Composed finish. Get in.

jedi_master

Really worried Maatsen might get called back. Please no!

jedi_master

Very sad. That team Chelsea had in the mid-late 90’s with Vialli, Gullit, Zola, Di Matteo, Lebouef, Petrescu etc felt like such a watershed moment for the Premier League. They were a team ahead of their time in the manner they melded European quality with English grit and they had success in domesti...

Unless I’m missing something, none of these Belgian articles actually say anything about us having any offer accepted, or the player being close to actually joining us. In fact the above article says he’s expected to play in their game today. Article says he will be playing Standard Leige today as ...

jedi_master

McNally doesn't seem to be near the first team even in the Championship, so if we go up he'd have had to go from League 1 to the Premier League. From the outside looking in it looks like we signed him as we thought he could make the step up but have since decided otherwise. This is possible, and he...

Ameen Al-Dakhil is apparently set to join us, according to 'Le Soir' https://www.lesoir.be/487127/article/2023-01-06/ameen-al-dakhil-va-rejoindre-vincent-kompany-burnley?utm_source=TwitterSports Article translated: HasMeen Al-Dakhil could not have played Sint-Truiden – Standard, on September 9, if t...

Good luck Kev.

jedi_master

Again not a rumour but a suggestion Dante Vanzeir Union SG in Belgium. He got 15 goals and 10 assists in 2021/2022 season and is proving to be a hit again this season. He is considered to link up well, has good technical ability, a proven goal scorer and could work very effectively with our wide me...

jedi_master

That’s such a bad misquote in the original tweet!

jedi_master

It's good too as we now to drop him in the weeks immediately preceding Euro 2024

jedi_master

He didn't need to admit that, it was blatantly obvious to anyone watching us against Sheffield United when he backed out of a challenge that was 80/20 in his favour. I said on here after Wales got knocked out that we will see what Roberts is really about after he returned, so it has proven. He has b...

jedi_master

Genuinely think the lad would rather saw his ******** off than go back and play for Nathan Jones in what will be a certain relegation campaign, as opposed to Kompany and a title charge. Premier League or not.

Doesn’t look to have played much.

Played 14 of their 18 league games this season (1 goal, 4 assists)

Last season he played in 27 of their 36 games (1 goal, 2 assists)

Worth pointing out that is in the second tier of Turkey as far as I can tell, as opposed to their Premier League.

jedi_master

He strikes me as someone who will need the rest of this season to assess the issues with that team before a promotion charge next season. More long than short term, in my opinion.

jedi_master

He’s so different to Surridge that common sense would suggest that we want both players in place of Barnes and Dervisoglu.

jedi_master

If we need a striker to gobble some goals up this season and get us over the line, as opposed to a long term project, I think Surridge is a better fit. Semenyo looks a very talented player but he is not a goal scorer per se is he? He seems more like the type we might go for in the summer should we g...

Been such a great signing for us has Lowts, key to the success of the last decade or so. He will do a really good job at Huddersfield. All the best to him.

Now confirmed Lowton has joined Huddersfield

Good luck to him - what a fantastic signing and servant he has been for this club. We got £3.5m for Trippier, and brought him in for a million and he delivered just as much success really (not saying he is as good there!). He owes us nothing.

jedi_master

Yes I suppose the one from Belgium who hasn't made it (so far) is Samuel Bastien. He looked really good in pre-season and I thought he was brilliant in the first game at Huddersfield. I think he's just a victim of circumstance in that Cork and Cullen have been SO good that he is just not going to g...

Belgian U21 International, but born in Baghdad. Seems to be well regarded at his club and also linked with Spartak Moscow (hmmm, can't be many players wanting to move to Russia right now, surely!). I won't pretend to have ever seen the bloke play, but after the success of Zaroury, Benny, Vitinho etc...

jedi_master

Surely Dyche is already prepping his PowerPoint presentation - he is precisely the type that Everton need right now. Their defending is horrid, they need to build a base from the back and become solid. It’s surely going to be him or Allardyce in the circumstances. If Everton bring in Martinez (as I’...

jedi_master

Hopefully he will find the right environment and fulfil his potential. Not sure why people would want a home grown product to fail after he played a large part in extending our stay in the top league. Indeed. As per my thread opening post on this, I just find it quite sad really that he’s getting t...

jedi_master

I’d love them to go down.

jedi_master

Arrrgh that’d have been a great signing for us. Good player and will definitely add goals for them, but so will Surridge. We’re the top scorers in the division, we’re not desperate and a youngster like Archer will need to play every game for his development from Villa’s perspective (he couldn’t be ...

IF we are promoted, one wonders what Vinny's summer budget will be. We cannot forget that our fantastic summer in 2022 was built upon huge player sales, with our parachute money (as I understand it) being used to pay off the portion of the MSD loan that was required. We won't have that the player sa...
