mdd2 - I know you mean well...but the best piece of advice you have given is to get some "proper" advice. I can`t be bothered listing the amount of mistakes you have made above !! As for putting your money in property - that`s kind of good advice but realistically a lot harder to achieve than puttin...

ok so thats i`ll give you a gagillion euros for a TV deal and in return you`ll allow some of the kids of our our billionaire princes come over and train with your clubs and pretend they have signed for them. Bit like when Gadaffi got his son to sign for Juventus. "Money talks But it don't sing and d...

Wow - explains a lot about that season !

"Distributing" them ? What does that even mean ? Given its Saudi Arabia I can only assume that this deal is purely money motivated. It sounds crazy and would hope the Premier League would never get involved in this type of stuff - especially with a country with the human rights record of the Saudis.

Joe Gallagher stopped in the Sparrow Hawk when he signed - with Alan Taylor. I was working behind the bar at the time. Saw him limping up the stairs to his room a few times. He got a 4 year contract - wow ! Played a few games in the first season...then missed most of the next 2 years and surprisingl...

Sam Vokes scored more league goals in one season for Burnley than Ashley Barnes ever has for us. That's because Barnes is gash. F-uck me it must be a real bind for you watching Burnley - why do you bother ? Barnes cost the club £500k and has scored some crucial goals for us - he owes nobody at the ...

Yep but twixes are only 50 cents apparently - swings and roundabouts

If we could get Charlie Austin for between £5m and £10m I'd be happy with that - though he has a worse injury record than Wood previously had. I think at the moment we need better quality players (like Lennon) supporting our forwards. If Wood is going to be out for a while then bringing in a loan si...

TVC15

I'd still be better in the air than diver Barnes, even with a boiled head. So you think we spend a lot of money on a striker just because Wood is injured ? What happens when he returns ? Do we put a £15m / £20m striker on the bench or shall we go 4-4-2 to accommodate him and put a £15m midfielder o...

In my Sunday league days we used to get the winger to stand 5 yards in from the touchline and 15 yards down the line. Their defender had to be goal side who was marking him, so I would throw it just inside of them and above our player. This gave the advantage to their defender who would win the hea...

TVC15

Even worse - throw ins!!!! It's been a Burnley weakness for years. We have a very old fashioned approach towards throw ins - which is basically throw it down the line. Even if we win the header to knock it on invariably it will end up with the opposition. The statistics show that any team that thro...

Congratulations to Ashley's agent for getting this story out there. As soon as he saw the Peter Crouch story he though...."hang on a minute"

Is his contract up or something ?

£10m or £9m and Wells

Ashley loves it here - he'd only move to Barca.

You have to question the wisdom of buying a player who is an international and whose native country is the other side of the globe. The disruption caused by international duties is difficult to bear when we can't afford to be lashing out on the extensive squads others can afford. From what I rememb...

Reading some of these posts you'd think we'd unfortunately lost to Southend United not Manchester United, mind you it was started by a happy go lucky poster. We are out of the top 7, not good enough for some now? Thought we played really well yesterday and deserved a draw. That ain't bad against a ...

TVC15

He nearly scored @ Huddesfield in his 5 minute appearance, just scuffed his shot straight @ the keeper.. untill he gets a start or decent game time then we can't really judge the guy, but personally I think there is a player in this lad.. Ok so he's good at scuffing shots - I'll give you that one !...

TVC15

Fully agreed can't think why wells comes in for the flak...what actual game time as he had in minutes? 15..20 Wells played 25 minutes versus Man City and 13 minutes in another game. He's had a few 8 of 9 minute cameos aswell. I'm not saying it's a lot of time but I cannot remember one single contri...

TVC15

It really isn't though - we played really well today and deserved a draw so it's impossible to say that bringing on substitutes for players who were already playing well a few minutes earlier than he did is going to change the outcome of the game. Wells has done absolutely zero in any of the games h...

TVC15

Stupid dive - as said why the hell did he not go for the ball ? He had a really poor second half - he inexplicably ducked under the ball instead of heading it in second half and let Lukaku in. Lowton needs to play for me - Bardsley has done well covering him but he's had 3 poor games in a row now an...

TVC15

I think we could have made the subs at least 10 minutes earlier. The second half was a more open game than the first yet United were still not really causing us big problems. The Wells substitution was odd and I said when it took place I'd rather have a knackered Barnes on the pitch for the last 4 m...

TVC15

I'd like to see the Matic incident on Barnes again. From my vantage point it looked like a deliberate infringement. He got booked for another incident a few minutes later so could very well have seen Red. I'd be surprised if he got a retrospective ban though. That aside, he was easily the best play...

TVC15

I thought he was garbage today, and as said on the other thread, I saw nothing that showed him to be a 13m premier league footballer, never mind a number 10. He did either the simple/easy option ( after looking all flusted and panicking ) or gave the ball away/took the wrong option. Watch the first...

TVC15

Should have been dropped a few games ago. Lowton just as solid a defender and far better footballer who gives us so much more going forward.

Taylor did ok today but we are badly missing our partnerships down both wings

TVC15

Not impressed - average season £40m is a lot for a holding midfielder who does not give you any more than Carrick or Feliani. He has very few assists or goals. He fits in well with Mourinho's team of giants and negative approach Not surprised Chelsea were happy to let him go - Kante much better play...

We are struggling to attract young lads who go to school in Burnley (see the 2 ex Blessed Trinity pupils who chose Blackburn and have gone on to play for their first team)

The chance of us attracting a lad who grew up in manchester and is one of the best young players in England is less than zero.

TVC15

One player out of how many? Their entire youth team budget is probably far higher than our transfer budget for the first team. It very probably isn`t but absolutely fine for you to make stuff up. I listed one player but plenty of others have played for them in the cup competitions this year - Zinch...

Says a lot about how far away our youth set-up is if our first choice LB for the development squad isn't even in our top 5 LB's at the club. Does it ?

Agree. Thats bad luck. But our lack of options does inhibit our ability to try a different system in such cases. How do you work that one out ? Would you have 3 specialist left backs out of the 25 ?

What improvements are you expecting to see? You seem to think it is about results improving and it is not. About attracting better players, yes very much.

18 months will mean we are 3 years in so I would expect to see improvements personally.

To describe a game in which you have as many shots on target as the opposition, more possession, 2 golden chances to equalise in the second half and to only lose 1-0 as a "shambles" tells you everything you need to know about the poster using that description.
