Definitely a player we need to tie down - you’d think that’s a formality after promotion. He never gives anything but his all. It doesn’t always come off for him, but he’s constantly involved and really ‘gets’ this club.

jedi_master

Good with the ball at his feet, useless with it in the air.

Precisely why he struggled in our team last season, and why I reckon he would have been an asset in the team we have right now.

I have been overweight most of my adult life - lost over 100lb's between 2017-2019, but then did my ACL (regularly played football) and slowly started to put a bit back on, eventually though getting near enough 70lb's back on during lockdown due to working from home and generally doing nothing good ...

Missing Grant, Phillips and Thomas-Asante against us - three of their main attacking players. Whilst we are missing Cork, I am confident that Brownhill can drop in there with Cullen as per the last two games and do a great job. I would assume Gudmundsson will come into the team and play just off Rod...

Westerlo fan here, season ticket holder for a long time. Foster is the best striker we've had in a decade, excellent player although he's having a rough time scoring in the last couple games. Works hard, silky on the ball, fat and physically strong, great positioning and excellent attitude. Was on ...

He did a very good job for us did Wood, but if we were to get promoted and he was relegated to the Championship, I may afford myself a wry smile at his comfort zone comment.

One of my favourite ever games, that I have played and completed on PS3, 4 and 5 recently in it's new 'Part 1' remake guise. It's a great story and was ripe for TV or a movie. I think the adaptation is superb so far, albeit there is a bit of padding (to be expected I think) with some alterations to ...

Don’t think there is any hope of that name being pronounced correctly in the stands.

It's a long one but I think it rolls off the tongue quite well (if I have it right).

It’s a ‘legacy’ blue tick (I.e, an actual journalist, not one of the odd folk giving Musk $8 a month for no reason) so it sounds legit.

jedi_master

It’s a blow for sure, but Saturday and Bournemouth showed us we can drop Brownhill in there with Cullen and use the likes of JBG (or maybe even Twine?) very effectively as a ten.

jedi_master

Can only judge by YouTube (to be fair, it’s served me well with VK’s signings) but Hadziamehtovic looks fantastic and just the sort we should be targeting in the CM area. Concerning it’s us V Besiktas again after the protracted transfer of Jackson Muleka in the summer. Hope we’re not being played/us...

jedi_master

The foreign links have tended to have veracity to them since VK has come in - maybe one from the summer has re-emerged (Dovbyk).

jedi_master

I do think the team has been off it the last few league games, still setting a high standard and still winning games, just not at our very fluent best. It's almost like this is our dip in form, the bad patch other fans often say we'll go through, we're just so far ahead of the rest we can beat the ...

jedi_master

The problem the likes of Twine, Churlinov, McNally and Bastien have (less so Egan-Riley as he's only just turned 20 a few days ago!) is that the club is way ahead of what was expected when they signed for us. I am not writing anyone off, at all, but how are they going to break into this side short o...

jedi_master

It is very clearly talking about a number one target above Obafemi in the pecking order for us. Surely not Gyokeres, I'd be amazed if we are putting down the money on a player that expensive. Let's be real though, if we were to sign him you may as well put the C next to our name on the table, it wou...

jedi_master

Which article did you see this in? Just read it myself - Andy Jones article today titled "Burnley and Vincent Kompany still want a striker as promotion push powers on". It says for that particular section, after talking about Obafemi: "Burnley sources, who wish to remain anonymous to protect their ...

The for Kane to ship out of this joke of a club. He’s too good for this lot and 30 this year, needs one last hurrah at a club he might win something with.

I posted on one of their forums that I thought they’d do well to finish within 30 points of us.

They took umbrage at that and called me arrogant. I absolutely stand by it, I think we’ll possibly go over 100 points.

Distinctly possible now.

jedi_master

Obafemi would provide an excellent sub option for 20 min much like Benson, but through the middle rather than side. Raw pace when chasing a win for that key period. I imagine that’s in VK’s thoughts.

So you think he's as good as Jesus?

Never been a fan of him mate to be honest, I think Arsenal overpaid.

jedi_master

We need to move Heaven and Earth to get him nailed down. ASAP.

jedi_master

If they’ve done this on the back of another club offering a sum of money to purchase one of their players, then they need to go have a long lie down in a dark dark room. I really cannot help but think they did! Who cares about Coventry City? Certainly not Burnley - and you’d have thought them the s...

jedi_master

They weren’t though. They lumped it into the box and a couple came from defensive errors. They have a method that works for them but the players they have their football could be so much better. Coventry came and took us on and deserve massive credit for that. If they had some decent subs available...

jedi_master

I don’t understand how he’s not offside. If a shot goes in and takes no deflection, but there’s somebody stood directly in the keepers line of sight in an offside position (or it goes through said players legs on its way in etc), that’s normally a certain offside given. Surely it can’t work only on ...

jedi_master

If Egan-Riley leaves I bet it’s only a loan, no way we’d be letting him out for good I don’t think. Only just 20 is it? Brief appearances he’s had he looks like he has a good future in My opinion.

jedi_master

One other point I didn’t have time to include in my first post on this thread as I was setting off home. At Coventry, pre-game, they did a very similar thing for Coventry fans that had died (weird time of the year to do it I thought, but fair enough) on their screen. We all observed it impeccably, a...

Premier League striker that lad.

We’ll get him in the summer.

jedi_master

Was Cov fans, they started singing “Burnley’s a s**thole…”. Disgusting.

Glad to take six points off these non entities.

Some worried about being 65m in debt, relegated, managerless, 20+ players out of contract, losing academy status, media stories proclaiming Armageddon.

I’d rather be stayed and left for nothing leaving them in an either bigger state. They’re not going up with or without him.

jedi_master

A move I don’t think anyone saw coming, but I hope he makes a real success of it there. If there’s no buy option included, he could be worth big money in the market to us this summer should he notch 8-10 goals at a club like United.

jedi_master

I actually got my prized Burnley possession very recently (after the Blackburn game). A pair of Bad Beat Bob's signed and dedicated by Robbie Blake, and then a photo with the man himself - I am framing these with a photo of him celebrating in his own pair on the pitch at Wembley. Also have a signed,...

Makes elements of my job as a service designer scarily simple.

I have one episode of this left, feel I’ve come too far to give up now but it has been very average. Some really good actors in it too (basically the entire cast was either in Game of Thrones or Line of Duty…..or both in Owen Teale’s case!).

jedi_master

The Moroccan player we have allegedly got a pre-contract agreement in place for the summer from Portugal is also a right back. I can't see the Murillo thing being true - the source appears to be a Panamanian journalist giving an opinion based on Kompany previously managing him as opposed to anything...

Many happy returns Tony, hope you have a good day

jedi_master

I thought it very sensible of Kompany in the press conference just now when pressed on Al-Dakhil and Obafemi. He simply said "We can only sign players who are willing to be a part of this club in either the Championship or the Premier League and can do a job for us in either, that makes the market w...

jedi_master

Taylor and Beyer at CB for a couple of months is no problem, we’ll manage and can welcome him back for the run in.

jedi_master

Very highly regarded player by the fans of his current club, from my investigation of their forum the other week. Perfect profile for us. I haven’t seen him play obviously, but the clips on YouTube show him to be very comfortable on the ball and seemingly pretty fast.

jedi_master

Hopefully he scores a hat-trick a game and we somehow have a £25m striker this summer with a host of top clubs after his signature.

The Welsh FA can’t save them from this one.

Chesterfield were robbed in that game. Clear penalty refused at 3-2 up and then Thomas-Asante scores the equaliser when he shouldn’t have been on the pitch.

Yes my Wife was not the happiest after getting in from that one!

jedi_master

Three game ban applied retrospectively after he elbowed a Chesterfield player in their FA Cup tie (before scoring a 93rd minute equaliser…). Misses playing us and he’s been their main man recently! https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/west-brom-striker-brandon-thomas-asante-handed-three-...

Kompany has surely shown us thus far to trust him r.e signings - if he’s Vinny’s man it’s good enough for me. Maybe Kompany has played against him when Obafemi was at Southampton and he’s stuck out to him? In fact, yes - City won 6-1 but Obafemi got a rave review from his manager (Mark Hughes) after...

jedi_master

Take it with a pinch of salt as it's Alex Crook but he just tweeted 'Understand #BurnleyFC have reignited their interest in Michael Obafemi. Fee will be much more modest than #Swans were quoting in the summer.' Guess if we can get the fee below 5m we will have done well, given they wanted 10m in th...

The Turkish league is a graveyard shift (Dele Alli is a case in point). I don’t think you can blame him, or anyone in his position, for wanting out if Besiktas for a team like Man Utd.

jedi_master

Surely no way back for him in Turkey now. Knowing how partisan the crowds are at ‘The Big 3’, you can’t imagine they’ll be best pleased at Wout trying to bail on them early. Besiktas are just putting what they need to put in the media to strengthen their position and ensure they get the maximum out ...

I think £12.5m is top dollar to be fair. Looking at the stories when we signed him, we apparently paid £12m. You'd also imagine (might be wrong) that we had incentives included in that like a staying up bonus and stuff, so I bet we paid less. Not to mention, we then got a loan fee of some descripti...
