You said this you dimwit.

are you being daft on purpose T ? he's been here virtually the same time as Vitinho and despite you saying you wouldn't give him a few years Kompany has played him 51 times in the league over the period. Kompany joined 14th June 2002 Vitinho joined 28th July 2022 No I'm not being daft. You said the...

I've no idea what you're on about. Our manager has only been here two seasons.

That's as maybe, but it's pretty common for young foreign lads to struggle in their first few seasons in English football, especially in the PL. Like I said, you very often see very expensive players have exactly the same issues - Gvardiol was absolute crap against Forfana and he cost 80+ million a...

Isn't the value of the players very much related to our place in the top division?

Nothing will drop the stock value quicker than relegation.

Staying in the PL would have been a better plan.

Yep, goes without saying really

taio

If the club don't want supporters clubs doing these events and collections at the club, could they not arrange to hold them away from the ground. Food collections points on the way to the ground, or in the local pubs. Player of the year event could be held elsewhere, or would the club ban the playe...

Roberts won't come back

taio

Isn't this why we have brought in Assignon? Presumably, he thinks Taylor is good enough on the other side... either that or we just failed to land his replacement this window, once we knew Maatsen wasn't coming. We should've strengthened those positions in the summer, not in January. I've no idea w...

taio

Agree. But Roberts was having a pretty awful season prior to being dropped (like most of the team) Would have been interesting to see how Roberts would have fared as we started to improve and concede less goals and chances. Vitinho is just not good enough - it’s a long time since I have seen a burn...

taio

Vitinho is barely good enough to play right back in the Championship. Pretty irrelevant what we paid for him in the context of needing to play our best eleven or to strengthen in postions of weakness. Roberts should've been starting ahead of him.

I totally get that, but no model is perfect. Look around at what goes on at other clubs and I think we can count ourselves fortunate.

It’s interesting how people see things differently. I think this is a great time to be a Burnley fan. All depends what you value most as a supporter I suppose.

Our model, especially financially, will inevitably be a cause for concern for some supporters

I literally put " I agree 100% that they got the balance wrong on this though, they should have signed 3 or 4 of these rough diamonds and the rest should have been more experienced." that's a short term view though, how does the club (or clubs our size) grow so at some point it can get into the PL ...

yeah that's pretty much exactly what I put ! Staggering how badly wrong they got it though

You asked a question about growth and competing in the PL. So I answered you do both - a better mix between youth and experience.

taio

Why would I disagree with them? I can't possibly know whether they'd be a success and neither can you. I can give my opinion, I do know that we were heavily linked with Lokonga and Townsend was with us, the recruitment team chose neither. Many on here would have wet themselves if we'd signed Barkle...

taio

The reason why we didn't buy proven Premier League quality is because we have put our emphasis on buying young 'rough diamonds' in the hope that enough of them will turn into successes and will be sold at a huge profit. No doubt that may give us financial success, but it clearly won't keep us in th...

It felt dramatic at the time, and you and the others have done a superb job.

I know, I mean it’s not like we’ve made many changes and stormed the league before have we?

Yes of course we have/did. But absolutely foolish to think we can simply just romp it again. For a start we don't even know if we'd have the same manager and coaching staff.

Anyone who thinks we wouldn’t romp this league again next season hasn’t got a clue. These 2 sides are **** poor.

If we go down, it's not easy to see how anyone could be so confident that we'd romp it when there could be many changes.

not relevant to whether we would have got £73M for Gyokeres from Chelsea - I was just saying that IF we had got him, he wouldn't have turned in a massive profit like he has. I also dont think he is better than Lyle (hence my reference in the first instance) I didn't say we'd get £73m for him. I was...

Didn’t the press come out and say we weren’t ever after him? Because he was too expensive?

Possibly. But doesn't alter the fact that some people said he wasn't good enough for us when we were linked.

had we got him, I guarantee Chelsea wouldn't be bidding £73M for him now for various reasons, and I dont think we'd be any better off with him instead of Lyle (who is one of our best players this season).

We signed Foster a year ago.

Desperate criticism suggesting Trafford wasn't getting anywhere near the ball without the foul.

VK doesn’t want to learn, his big ego won’t let him.

He wouldn’t have got there even if he wasn’t “blocked off”

Pure speculation and not particularly relevant. You don't think he would whereas I do, but one thing for sure is he'd be in a better position if he hadn't been blocked off/fouled.

Personally don’t think Roberts has ever been good enough especially at prem level
Vitinho makes mistakes but you can see the improvement in him end he’s confident enough to try and take the ball forward.

He leaves massive holes at the back and his positionally and defensively naive.

taio

Right now, I'd prefer a right back that can defend. Vitinho often can't do that effectively. Taylor has been better for sure.

Well I think it does help to show Muric’s relative proximity to where the ball ends up and the distance that the ball is struck from.

IMG_3450.jpeg We’ll have to agree to disagree. But I don’t think a keeper should be conceding from that range and angle to his right hand side from a right footed shot when positioned where he is.

I think he would.

I think few keepers if any save that when it has been hit so hard, from that angle and into the side of the goal.
