Keep to the takeover mess DJW

We all have our opinions.

It’s good practice to blood players in midfield and then drop them into their long term position.

Danieljwaterhouse

Cannot believe I'm reading a poster wanting to convert Benson into a RB. Usually players play at least a dozen games or so before the braindead calls come for them to change position because they've spotted something in them in 90 minutes that professional coaches have missed for years. Brilliant s...

Mate we start Ashley Barnes up front

Exactly, he’s done.

Danieljwaterhouse

It was an eyebrow raiser when Ferguson made such a comment. He’s never displayed the levels to be even considered alongside the likes of Ferdinand, Vidic, Pallister, Bruce, McGrath and Edwards to name but a few. OK so he’s had some injury problems but he hasn’t ever displayed the sort of quality to...

Danieljwaterhouse

I the middle you need to be a technician or an engine. Ideally both. In the middle you’re playing a 360 game, wanting to go on the half turn, constant scanning, and that first touch has to move the ball either into another plays path or be good enough to avoid getting an oppo play involved. Benson, ...

At the moment I would genuinely play Mumbongo in place of Wood.

Danieljwaterhouse

I think people are forgetting that Cork, Stephens, Gudmundsson, Bardsley , Norris and even Pieters haven't played much football recently and Barnes had Wood have been out of form which was on show today. How Benson can be criticised when he actualy brought some energy in the middle is beyond me. En...

Danieljwaterhouse

You'd have thought we'd just been beaten by a side from a lower division with all the stupid posts on here. I, for one, thought that Stephens had a good game. He was lazy (I take the point he’s not played much), passing was wayward. His body shapes were horrendous resulting in him getting nutmegged...

Danieljwaterhouse

Benson looks a very good player in the making. Incredible that people have had a go at him, particularly as he’s been played out of position on a couple of occasions. Glennon looks a good footballer as well. He’s just not technically gifted enough to play in the middle of the park. I’d shift him to...

Danieljwaterhouse

Somebody states that there's a lack of football knowledge on this board - the same person thinks Wood played well today !!!!! Wood played up front alone, he ran channels well, he had no or little support. The distance between him and Barnes was shocking at times. Barnes one touch flicks, lazy passi...

Bardsley - another past it

Yep, I wouldn’t disagree. But his experience, and his conduct as a pro is something we should be looking to retain in the clubs coaching setup.

Danieljwaterhouse

And you want sign Jones Jones is a class above anyone in the pitch today and a class above most premier league CB’s. If he had stayed fit he would’ve been one of united’s best ever CB’s. We’ve had this discussion, at length in numerous threads. He’s a quality footballer. The lack of football knowle...

Add Chris Wood to the naughty list today, and probably for most of this season.

As a goal scorer he's good, no doubt about that when he's in form, but as a footballer he's completely turgid.

I think Wood did well today.

Danieljwaterhouse

Ashley Barnes has been a great servant for this club and deserves to be treated with grace. His legs have gone, his head has gone. He’s reached his end of his time at BFC. Stephens: ship him off Norris looks a very good technically gifted footballer. His distribution is good, and his positioning is ...

Danieljwaterhouse

When did we hike? We walk, ramble, and even scramble. For most of the above you'll need: walking boots.

Danieljwaterhouse

Immediately if you get one of the big spenders in for a player, you can ask more. You can't ask more if its only one or two mediocre teams bidding. Players prices are not static, how the hell otherwise did Leicester get so much for Maguire? A bidding war is different, an immediate need at a club is...

What’s the illegal practice Daniel?
And what’s your view of the takeover now in view of the alleged financing & debt?

You can’t use money in a business to buy that business.

Danieljwaterhouse

Is that a fact, or is it speculation based on the quotes of unnamed sources in the Athletic article? If it's a fact you should be able to prove it. He’s not able to, he’s likely got Radiohead on loop and searching conspiracy theories in the ‘deep’ web. I stopped reading when he mentioned a totally ...

Danieljwaterhouse

The Mourinho style is poles apart from that of Dyche He plays a back four (yes the same) He plays with two holding midfielders and then a three (with real pace out wide) with Kane up front They play mainly on the counter attack using that pace He also gives Kane license to roam back into midfield k...

Danieljwaterhouse

I would say there is practically no chance of Leicester signing Dyche currently. There playing style completely contrasts Dyche. This is the problem with most fans, you’re judging his ability as a manager in his current limitations. He’s pragmatic, he understands football, and he understands the li...

Danieljwaterhouse

Dyche has been signalling "come and get me" since last Spring. If someone like Palace or Newcastle had approached him to manage them in the last few months, bearing in mind Dyche's obvious falling out with Garlick, I would have been surprised if he hadn't gone. Dyche has been planning a exit strate...

Danieljwaterhouse

I think he will have to learn to be a bit more careful and perhaps make sure he has a PR because any joke or word said in jest can quickly turn against you. He clearly felt nervous but credit to him for answering all the questions. He should learn from the Dyche book of interviews 101. Clearly a gr...

Any whispers about incomings this window, DJW ?

Jones is the only one I’ve known about.

Danieljwaterhouse

Bad news for them, potentially good news for us - Palace are one of very few clubs where I think it's a reasonable possibility both that they would offer Sean Dyche a job, and that he would take it. But not if they're in shambles with no players, and I don't think he would want to step into an owen...

I gave up drinking at 23, didn’t enjoy it, more of a social construct. That was 15 years ago and I don’t miss it one bit. My sister and I try to give up something for one month at a time. For example, it’s crisps in January. In February, coffee, and so on.

I also think you need to read up on Dyche and his coaching philosophy and how he spent his own money to build his coaching skills.

Good victory, now it's two from six to go down at this stage. Barnes should have hit the ball first time with a volley but instead he's looking at the keeper instead of the goal. Wood has made the wrong option of trying to glance a header when heading the ball back in the direction of the cross wou...

Absolute rubbish. We’ve moved past and are moving further away from this type of manager.

I know it wouldn’t happen, but good god, imagine Costa leading the line with Ashley Barnes. That would be a mean duo.

Daniel, I'm not sure you can call Fatboy and others comments abhorrent ("disgusting, repugnant"). There are so many people really concerned about this.

You need to understand that a lot of us older Clarets still remember the horrendous times leading to the Orient game and the dangers that are always present when ambitious plans go wrong, perhaps our attitude has held the club back but Barry Kilby, and the current chairman ensured we were stable an...

Or alternatively, the naivety of some fans is astonishing.. I truly hope my cynicism is unfounded, but you'll pardon me if I judge this one on outcomes. It’s a small football business, you simply cannot asset strip a club the size of Burnley even with its various assets. If you put this as an inves...

This is a local fiction. Our in-ground costs are not out of sync with other in-ground costs. Yes they are not supermarket prices but equally there is nothing stopping people taking food into the ground either.

Investment?? That suggests you're buying something that is likely to appreciate in value and provide an income in the future? God only knows how they expect BFC to do that. Or maybe they pick up the club for something closer to £150m....flog Pope, Tarks, McNeil, Mee, Brady, Taylor and Wood...then f...

Danieljwaterhouse

I still have issues with Dyche over the relationship breakdown - it is pretty obvious when you look at the finances the chairman has given everything he could and possibly more (just look at the operational cashflows), which is why Dyche has never been given a player budget - he would just blow it....

Danieljwaterhouse

I believe the recent stagnation is a result of the fall out between individuals at the club, and I don't believe the manager and chairman were the only two involved. Those two are beyond the loggerheads stage and it has been going on for a long time now. It's nothing to do with keeping the club fat...

I admire you’re optimism, Paul, And I really hope you’re right, but is the second paragraph of that supported by any evidence at all?

A little wide, or Tarky is signing for Leicester, and McNeil is currently at their training ground wide?

You’ve no idea how accurate that was.
