She'll be on Strictly this year.

Not a chance - come November / December she’ll either have just given birth or be weeks of dropping a third!

According to some sources(?), our lot may be feeling the same but we are largely working in the shadows. If Newcastle go down as well as the Wood signing, so far… it may get funnier yet up at St. James’s. I know they’re richer than God, but He retains ultimate power to send the Saudi’s down for a t...

You get a far better view of the game on TV, every post of yours is about fans not attending, spoiler alert you're not a super fan In terms of watching an individual, I don’t think that you do get a better view.

It can’t be doing much for morale at Newcastle, all these rumours and supposed impending signings.

TBH most,in fact all the Premier league teams play more attractive football then us.

I’m sure we’ve been told that you can only play good football if you spend gazillions!!

Sean Dyche talked about the season we lost to Everton on boxing day as the best achievement of his management career. He said after that game that they "bottom out". They sat down and reassessed the situation and got back to basics and pulled themselves out of trouble. I hope that going bottom of t...

See, I don’t mind a bit of that stuff, hear of players you’ve maybe never heard of, can either choose to research them yourself or not, and if they turn out to be more Nimani than Tarkowski then fair enough Me neither - not heard of ninety plus percent of them, I’m not ashamed to admit.

Is moneyball our modus operandi? My understanding of moneyball isn't that it’s about identifying players to turn a profit on, necessarily. More about identifying players with certain attributes that others are overlooking, who will bring missing or required qualities to the team. I wouldn’t class Co...

Apparently Benteke is not interested in coming to Burnley

Much the same as my view of him coming to Burnley.

DCWat

I agree to a point. But think of the money we’ve spent on Walters, Crouch, Lennon, Barton (second time), Hart, Bardsley (to an extent), Reid, Stephens. We should have been looking at younger talent to bring on, instead of these players which were signed to fill a position which we then no longer th...

BBC says we're interested in Phil Jones. Manure want 15Mil.

One recent game in five years and he’s suddenly worth £15 million - money grabbing shysters.

DCWat

It's ridiculous how Wood has been elevated to Ronaldo like status by the media and punditry. Take note though, he is like a young puppy in the penalty area, non stop movement and also has gone nearly 40 minutes (stream lag) and is yet to be offside. I actually think that the media has been very sur...

I don't think the Summer was that good. We chose to target some highly competitive free transfers which were unlikely to go our way. Albrighton was a good shout in terms of the type of right winger we needed, but not one for the future and again, unlikely to go or way. We then spent the rest of the...

FFS if you have to quote LTL, don’t quote the whole thing, it makes reading the board on a mobile a complete pain in the arse.

It takes ten minutes just to reduce the quote to a manageable size

Hardly surprising. After the Chris Wood bomb dropped it was inevitable. I'm guessing that the first name out of the mouth of our FT European Scout ( Lee Jones ) was probably Kieffer Moore, followed closely by Joel Piroe. When he first joined us I pointed out that his active scouting experience had ...

Jordan continued to be sceptical about our takeover on Talk Sport today, the sale of Wood and link to Andy Carroll only served to fuel his negative view. His view is that a sale to Newcastle is 20+ million in the bank straight away, rather than instalments - he reckoned only Man City, Chelsea and no...

If he is half as effective as Dean Marney (a Laws appointment) i'd be delighted.

Onew thing is for sure, he wouldn't be as ineffective as Wood has been this season...

He’d surely keep the medical team busy

Carroll would be a Laws esque appointment

Should I be surprised!?

DCWat

Never warmed to him and not too bothered to see him go, so long as the payment goes towards a decent signing or two. I’ll still give him hell when he comes back to the Turf though, especially if that game ends up being a decider. I’d far rather our former players received nothing more than a brief,...

A player that I could never really take to, despite some good returns. He’s a real hot and cold player, on a good run, you’d back him to score, on a bad run (and there have been a good few) he didn’t contribute anywhere near enough, in my eyes. Despite not being his biggest fan, his departure leaves...

Which elements, Taio?

Not questioning your point - more for my own understanding.

DCWat

Can we do it….? Of course we can.
Will we do it….? Doubtful.

Leeds was a real hammer blow.

DCWat

The club has previously confirmed it's fine. I'm not sure those T&Cs are relevant to what is being asked here, as they are framed around financial gain of some sort. Hadn’t realised that the club had confirmed it to be fine. I think it should be fine however it was the “sole use” and “lend” element...

Agreed. And how Sepp Blatter is not in prison for this is beyond me. :?: I’m just glad that they got rid of him from FIFA.

I did mention Doucoure on a couple of occasions. He sits a bit deeper and I think that would suit our midfield better. But this lad could do a great job either behind a striker or as a CM.

No idea why no one else is after him either of them tbh.

Looks a poor man’s Brownhill to me

DCWat

Striker becomes a priority, but I hope that we don’t ignore the longstanding central midfield issue.

Our best ever Premier League goalscorer - huge blow today

Let’s just hope that Dyche and Pace are very well aligned here!!

DCWat

I’d have preferred to sell Tarkowski. His head is the clouds most games. Wood has been off form but he gets crap service. He will bang them in for Newcastle. Madness selling your best proven striker at this level to a relegation rival when we score so few goals. The team sheet looks poorer by the w...

Well if we weren’t going down before we certainly are now.

It sounds like a transfer that we may well not have been prepared for, if it’s the activation of a release clause.

Chris Wood on good form, would be a miss. Chris Wood in this seasons form - less of a miss.

DCWat

Whether or not these sorts of players (bought before their move to the Championship) are an option now, I don’t know. Historically though, Dyche has probably been restricted by finances. He may well want these sorts of players, but if he has had to prioritise players who he has more confidence will ...

He’s been woeful this season but selling him would only make sense if we had someone in the door first.

Our problem is we have stood still for 3 seasons. Both tactically and recruitment wise. It has been clear to see for almost 18 months now that CM is a problem, yet we are still carrying on with the same old same old. If you don’t not have quality in the middle of the pitch you will struggle at any ...

So many miserable threads. I’ve read most the posts but kept quiet. I understand your disappointment but let’s be honest, we all know staying in the Premier League was a huge challenge. Sean’s worked miracles with limited financial backing. Covid has made the last two seasons totally unpredictable....

Very few. Dyche has turned him in to a left back.

You may think Dyche has stifled his attacking threat, but he’s certainly not turned him into a left back.

The latter - no head scratching needed.

Very worrying. A few weeks ago I was saying no way we could let both Tarkowski and Mee go this window however after their last few performances I’m starting to think differently. Only one who showed any real commitment today was Bardsley rest of them just going through the motions. It’s a sorry sta...

Dyche has made championship players into a premier league team. Too many are premier league in name only, commanding salaries way above their true worth.

Ross Barclay would be enough.

Unfortunately, I don’t think it would. Even if we got Ross Barkley playing to his best (I’m not sure that we would) we’d still be a player or two short.
