There is absolutely no chance we'd shoot ourselves in the foot late in the window, we have learnt lessons (I want to believe that anyway). Surely we would say ''when we find a replacement he can leave'' then leave them hanging and never show any intention to look for a replacement, it's about time ...

SSN saying the Wigan lad arriving IS likely to mean the Brady deal comes off for Burnley

elwaclaret

According to SSN Everton are still trying to put together a package that is acceptable to Burnley for this to happen today. Though admit it would take a hell of an offer.

SSPN saying medical now done

Why give him such a hard time? He barely had a chance at Burnley. I wish him well. A case of inverted snobbery from some posters on here. He barely had a chance? He has spent the last 6 months training every day with the first team, if he had really been busting a gut on the training ground and pro...

Just one example of us being shunned I'm afraid. Did anyone else notice a distinct lack of silver foil cardboard cut outs of the FA Cup at the Turf yesterday? Clearly the FA didn't send us any.

Sounds like a bit of a Jessie. Not made of the right stuff for a Sean Dyche Team. I wouldn't have used such harsh language but basically I agree. Definitely gives the impression of a player who needs cuddles and constant re-assurance to keep him happy. While I'm fairly sure SD can motivate and enco...

It is the job of the football club to do the best for the young lads in our youth system. If it was deemed that Styles was a potential future first teamer, they would also have looked who else was already ahead of him and deemed it in his interest not to be tied to the club. Years ago (and I doubt i...

There is no need to deploy a panic button this window, we have enough to get over the line as we are. However it would certainly make life more comfortable given the injury to Marney to have at least one in, and that would only keep the status quo (pre injury) not much further on squad wise given th...

Given that I personally know more than a handful under 35 who post on here I'd suggest your theory is some way from being accurate. I think a lot of young blokes watch but then deny it to almost biblical levels. I remember JD Robbo (as a young man) used to get a lot of stick over soaps, but the sam...

Don't think Ings is the best example but Vokes was derided to the heaven's for quite some time. He's still not rated by everyone, but I think he's the best target man we've had since King Billy.

The "skill" in Soaps is that they are "Dip in" i.e nothing much changes really. People switch off for years but then catch a storyline that peaks their interest and are hooked back in for a period, and its instantly familiar often these same people lose interest again only to fall into the trap agai...

It seems once a player is held up as someone special it takes some time for the football world to see through the hype. Its often a couple of big money moves before someone decides "he's pants" then suddenly the swell turns and no-one rates him, leaving a club with a player who has stung them fro a ...

While I agree that long term this has always been Burnley's way and should remain so, I think at the moment we need to be looking no longer than the present to near future to give us the leeway to promote from within in a position of strength.

elwaclaret

Terrible news. I think we all feared the worst, and so it has panned out.

Wish you a full recovery Dean and wish you all the best at this awful time.

Think we should pursue Brady now, if Snodgrass chooses us then great but if not we need a quick turn around

Don't think there is much doubt that we are actively pursuing a good few besides those we know of, most of whom we will get over the line ASAP if they can.

Oh don't know Random. I lived next to an old mate of his who told me he travelled in from Rippon while he was with us..... when I saw his address after his problems it was Rippon way so I just assumed he was still in the same house.

There's been a few live that way. Clark Carlisle lived up near Rippon and travelled in.... about another half hour out of Harrogate.

Looks like a done deal for them then. Fair enough; its a big name club with massive potential. Still think its a very dodgy time to be going though.... I have quite a few mates who are Hammers and they are far from happy bunnies at the moment.

One thing we will never be able to compete with a young man who fancies the big Smoke. Think he may live to regret going to the Hammers if he does (a rocking ship) but hey ho!

David Reeves.... £50k I think it was. What an impact the lad made. Despite the collection buckets we couldn't raise it. Think my dad and I are still owed about £20 for that. We didn't mind at the time as Paul Smith popped up from the Arses.... we couldn't afford him either. Still we managed to raise...

Sure there could be a fee paid for "first refusal", but why would we if Snodgrass does not agree personal terms it would take us no further than we are.

Just don't understand being preferred buyer for Hull would make the slightest difference.

Certainly wouldn't argue with your figures Jedi, but would Snodgrass be coming for significantly less? I'd have thought they'd be at a similar rate, though I admit I am not basing this presumption on anything concrete.

Just a thought but should we not be looking at Andras Townshend? Newcastle are hoping to get him back on loan with a permanent in the summer. From what I've seen of him (though not as much as some no doubt) he always looks to put a shift in and has undoubted quality. Just wonder why no one seems to ...

Talksport also saying.Tony cascarino saying" if he goes to burnley , you've got to ask, Hull, what are you doing!?" Clearly Cascarino still has us down for the drop.

If Ash is the worst we've signed S has done an even better job than I gave him credit for. Lazy and unsearched waste of space. I cannot believe people get well paid for total dross like this and yet people think people on incapacity or disability are the ones cheating a living.

I find it pretty distasteful to be on here claiming a player might be finished without knowing the full facts. Of course people are going to speculate on the injury. That does not mean that to a man (even those who do not value him as highly, unlike me) do not wish him nothing but the best towards ...

Again 50 / 50's are always going to go with the big home club. It was offside and arguably soft but we cannot keep trying to hold on. If we'd have gone straight back at them after the kick off we'd have come away with a draw at least. But as usual away lack of belief in ourselves has cost us.

Funny old season. The big clubs are for the main back at it. The bottom clubs you would think have got to get at least a few good results before the end. As for us a couple of wins we could see us looking at the possibility of sneaking into Europe...... ok pushing it and I'd more than settle for a n...

I think the people who turned up week in week out during that season cannot fail to have an affinity to the club others just cannot understand. Nor I hope and prey will they ever experience anything even approaching that in order to realise it.

Nothing can ever prepare for that Tuesday Night at Gresty Road when the final whistle went. The only time I've been physically sick at a football match.
