Man United v Palace. Wonderful, what a load of sh!te

Our best two performances this season were against Benfica and Forest. We thought what was our second team would get hammered against Benfica , but no it was a magnificent team performance in every respect. And again against Forest another clean sheet and great performance. Very interesting to analy...

We can concentrate on the cup now

northeastclaret

Last time we got beat 5.2 we went on to win the next 10 matches so lots to look forward to coming up

northeastclaret

Isn’t the issue on why we feel like we do the fact we didn’t have alternatives. To what extent was this due to Maatsen keeping both options open and misleading us. I can’t believe we weren’t confident of him signing if we were prepared to eventually pay whatever Chelsea demanded.

Maatsen staying at Chelsea confirmed

Absolutely unbelievable that we would put all our eggs into one basket. Whatever the other successes in this transfer window , to lose a player from last season in this position and not replace them , as I say is absolutely unbelievable.

It has gone far too quiet on Tresor. Got an uneasy feeling about it

I would think no news is good news at this stage

I like Clarke, but spending more than we apparently bid for Tella is odd. Tella would have got far more goals and has pace to burn. I accept we might have had to pay a couple of million more. I would expect he is a replacement for Maatsen, played as a wing back frequently for Sunderland and we know...

Obviously VK doesn’t see a role for Charlie due to not even being included on the bench for the two matches, but what about Ekdal , was he injured or should he also be looking for another club?

Not seen anything on him , apologises if the answer is on another thread.

If Brownhill is going to leave, could that be why Aster Vranckx’s expected move to Fiorentina has got complicated according to Sascha?

Hopefully, sounds like the sort of player we need in midfield

northeastclaret

Same here. Still hoping for at least one or 2 LB's, a good striker and a good winger who can start games for us. For me Bakayoko is less of a gamble because I know what he can bring to the team. Unlike guys like Trafford Odobert and Koleosho where we have no idea if they will actually make us a bet...

Self righteous

If you are admitting to be one of them you should know better

northeastclaret

Hopefully the posts by RV Claret and Kortrijk-1901 will quieten the negative self righteous who seem to know what’s better for our club than VK and Pace, in the far from ideal modern football world.

Let’s not all get self righteousness about this , footballs been dog eat dog for decades now. Anything that benefits Burnley FC , I am all up for.These are exciting times, I am sure both teams will benefit.

Sadly as mentioned no Beyer, but also thought I couldn’t see Taylor as well, although maybe I thought he was Laarsen.

Good point about the principle of one £30m player rather than two at £15m.

But how crazy and wonderful that we are even able to speculate like this.

northeastclaret

What needs to be taken into consideration though, is that last seasons signings weren’t made with the expectation of being in the premier league this season. So VK has to build another complete squad to compete with just the best remaining.A bit of stating the obvious but for example Twine would be ...

Thanks Tony. Why not give themselves an extra day to get over the arduous trip to Edinburgh and get some of the fringe in as well , so nice and refreshed for our match.,

Just noticed they are playing away at Hibs tonight, rather than the normal Thursday night in the Europa League , so why change our match to Sunday?

And why would we let a Villa player train with us when they are our next opponents unless of course he is our player

He must be training somewhere , it’s becoming quite weird that it’s so quiet on the player after all the progress on the transfer last week.

northeastclaret

No rumours of the Ramsey dealing breaking down , no rumours at all about it. Can only therefore suspect that Villa want to delay the signing until after the deadline next Friday lunchtime for signings for the Villa match ????!!!!!

northeastclaret

Seems like most of our deals are very slow or fallen through. Only thing I'm getting at the moment is that W Ham, Everton and Wolves want Brownhill. I think we'd be crazy to let him leave with our current midfield and Twine having been loaned out. Hopefully somethings are happening in the shadows. ...

I'm finding it difficult to understand why anyone would photograph the delivery details of someone, and post them online to be honest.

I assume Villa dragging this out in the hope that Ramsey is not available to play against them next weekend. I think there’s a rule now for permanent signings that you cannot include a clause that the players can’t play against the selling clubs, unlike loans? We must really want him to put up with ...

That must be one of the longest medicals in history. Started it over a week ago, sky saying earlier today that the only outstanding stage was agreeing the potential next contract with Villa

Cheers.

While I've got you, don't suppose you speak any Spanish?

The Google translation says that he is more likely to sign for us than Nice because he wants to play in the premier league.

northeastclaret

I think the type of player we are trying to sign now up front is similar to Diaby , who made his debut for Villa yesterday, with Watkins.. A fast strong mobile player who can pick the ball up deep and play all along the front line and good in the box. I think old classic centre forward is a dieing b...

It’s understandable if he wanted to go to Sevilla for Champions League football and a probable Europa League trophy. Good to know these are the type of teams we’re competing with players for.

Not sure why a worse player would be favoured

You are probably right , that was only a suggestion, hopefully another strong target then. Shame if it’s true because this was looking like one of our marquee signings rather than a young player with potential.

northeastclaret

Seems bizarre given the reports that the clubs agreed a fee, he was given several days to decide whether he wanted to join us , decides then to indicate yes , so travels to the UK. Then it’s off. You start to think it’s more the club than the players that keep deciding to pull the plug at the death....

How do these buy back deals work? I can understand us accepting a buy back clause going in if that’s where the selling club have the option to buy a player back at a set price IF we decide to sell. I’m fine with that. I’m less comfortable if they can buy him back at any time, regardless of whether ...

Didn’t see his brother in the squad for Villa yesterday at Newcastle, assume he is injured. Was interested to see how similar to his brother he plays , but must confess don’t recall Ramsey too much from last season when he played against us but well thought of by the Boro fans up here.

I don’t think Brownhill is technically good enough for the premier league. I agree, with VK trying to upgrade as he appears in most positions it’s difficult, with all the other qualities Brownhill has, that he cant see his technical limitations, even after all the intensive training he will be rece...

You would have to compare their debuts to Benson and Zaroury. One game and already they aren't as good.......

I agree for some players, but not all. We're clearly still looking for balance but players like JBG, Cork, Rodriguez, Taylor, Twine (possibly Brownhill) just don't have the combination of technique and athleticism VK has mentioned so many times this preseason. I agree I think we will see very littl...
