Looks like a real player and has Burnley connections - thanks for the 19 pts.

We could do with Bournemouth staying up - I think they'll find it hard to keep re-energising, its the big city clubs that are a bigger threat to the likes of us.

Re: Tarkowski
With the money they've got, the manager. and how brilliant they are doing I could see Sheff Utd getting him this summer. Reckon they'd be willing to pay well more that he's worth so could maybe get close to £50m for him The same Sheff United who are still paying some of their best players £8K a week.

We got off lightly, could have been 10.
