don’t let that stop you and your nonsense

Actually he was because he stated they never signed anyone but still got to the champions League final - so was comparing saying we don't need anyone in

That's who is coming

BOYSIE31

Why so much speculation on potential signings, now approaching 1,000 posts? Spurs got to the Champions league final without making any signings this time last year. We have two players for every position if we play either Gibson or Mee at left back if necessary. There is therefore need to sign anyb...

I think the board need to dyche to get rid of some of his bad buys before releasing cash for certain positions

ClaretTony wrote:Maybe not Sheff U given all the problems there but that will change one way or the other soon.

So it's time we accepted some outside investment - but the offers keep getting knocked back --- why ??????

BOYSIE31

I will put money on that he gets a 1 year contract with dyche stating cannot beat experience

Why the capitals are you angry

BOYSIE31

Any truth that he is training with us

BOYSIE31

Let's see how he starts this season first - plenty of games last season where he was also invisible for us which was understandable but dyche kept him in as we had nothing else.

Really ?? Have you seen the average age of our squad and last season we were comfortable when - at the end of April

BOYSIE31

Well the 2 who came in last summer have made how many starts ???
Is it 3 between them ??
That is why we will struggle to attract talent as well.

BOYSIE31

It’s not the same 11 for the 3rd season though is it ? Taylor Westwood McNeil Heaton or Pope And last time I checked it was still June and no sign of Jim White’s yellow tie More or less and only changed through injuries - no real competition for places as no matter how **** you play in again next w...

BOYSIE31

We were told not to expect anything in Jan from the new recruitment sergeant but wait until summer - well I'm still waiting because at the moment we are not linked to anyone which is very worrying. You can't expect the same 11 to go again for a 3 rd season at this level without some serious investme...

BOYSIE31

That’s as big an out of context reply as I’ve seen. We tried to sign him five years ago and once since. I don’t believe we were in for him this summer at all and eventually last year our main defensive target was Alfie Mawson who had agreed a deal and then shot off to Fulham. And if our recruitment...

And the same players

ElectroClaret wrote:And isn't a "squad player" exactly what Dawson would be if he came here though?
Not saying he'd be happy with it, but however you frame it, that's what it'd amount to.

I think he has that bit more premier league experience but not happening now anyway

FactualFrank wrote:Are they happy to be squad players though? Maybe they've had some heart to heart conversations with the manager and the manager has made them believe in themselves and made them determined to push for a starting spot?

But never going to happen - if we lose tarks Gibson will be in not long

Spijed wrote:He's certainly good enough for the Championship.

No don't personally think so as if he had something about him he would have been playing at that level for the last few years - never understand players who are happy to be squad players only though

Steady is an over statement

BOYSIE31

What sources? Ha give over we have been after him for 4 seasons now - stop trying to make it look like we were never in for him. You were only quoted the other week saying that Dyche is a big fan so no surprise we are after him again. Let's face it our recruitment policy is a shambles - this season...

BOYSIE31

I think we will struggle with anyone as they will see from the outside that our first 11 rarely changes over a season

BOYSIE31

I think someone needs to log on to bfc recruitment excel spreadsheet and delete it

BOYSIE31

Over a million as well - how much have we wasted these last few seasons

BOYSIE31

Looks like the boat for Adams has sailed - we won't go further with fee - now where have I heard that before

BOYSIE31

Makes me laugh these suggestions that they would go for Dyche - not a chance he is only liked in Burnley with his style of football

BOYSIE31

Arfield and jbg

BOYSIE31

Heaton added so you know the rest

BOYSIE31

Seems we are ok selling at 20 million plus but not buying at that amount for replacements or even adding to the starting 11

BOYSIE31

If we need to sell before we buy them we are in the **** already

But people still call him out for being injured.

Weird.

Not bothered with pre season games for over 20 years as they are just glorified kick abouts and should all be free to watch

Spijed wrote:And you know what? During that time we've been far more successful than most clubs can ever hope to be, and even qualifying for Europe in the process.

All because of the way we operate.

But why no foreign scouting still in place ????

BOYSIE31

Maybe it's all a smokescreen? And we'll bring in a couple of unknowns who turn out to be just what we were looking for. You would have thought that after 3 seasons in the Premiership we'd have a reasonable network set up and access to some decent oversea players. We were first promoted 10 years ago...

BOYSIE31

Disappointing to saybthe least. But not surprising. Try not to get excited about transfer windows any more. Its the best approach. At least weve got our excuses in plenty early this year. If they insist on not shopping abroad though, lets not be hearing excuses about 'the market we are operating in...

Or you should say too stubborn - look at the lad we was linked with before who ended up at Ajax - about to be sold for about 30 million

BOYSIE31

Let's hope crouch retires

Poor really against arsenals third team

Why shouldn't Pope be number 1 next season ???

No but we need better much much better - I don't see what he brings to the table

Just lets hope he signs some better players in the summer - you know the ones that are first choice regulars
