I think if I was a professional sportsman, nationalism wouldn't be my concern, it would be a career decision. If it meant playing at International level for a different country, I'd choose to play for them if I was sure my prospects of representing my own country was low. I liked the joke in 'Mike ...

I listened to it, I rate Simon Jordan on the radio with his business and football experience he has the ability to get around the waffle and drill down into the facts, the owner sounds like a naive business man perhaps he saw an opportunity to buy a club and sell it on but the historic debt is crip...

He's a good player though and fully fit could prove to be a good player for us.

Hopefully he’ll now actually be able to show us all that he is still half decent at this level.

Happy birthday Tony’s dad. I’m sure you’ll mark the occasion with a very nice cup of properly made tea!

Tarks, Mee and Vydra, possibly Pieters. We've already got the replacement in for Bards. I'd hope one or two may move on in January with replacements coming in. It’ll be a hell of a job in the summer, if we don’t. Usually, we’d probably be better dealing in the summer only. However, with the work re...

The first time I've ever used TikTok and to say this is their first season at this level (I think), this was quite an impressive result. The standard wasn't great but I found the snide remarks, mostly from males, unneccessary. Was that snide remarks on TikTok itself? It seems rather strange that so...

The day that we can finally say that we can cure all cancers, can’t come soon enough. Horrible illness that takes far, far too many, far, far too soon.

Mee and Tarkowski. I’d hope to improve on all of the others with recruitment, but that’s a hell of a job and expensive too.

DCWat

Hopefully won’t be targeting much in Jan. Not the window to be doing much if any business. I agree with that, perhaps the main caveats being that we’re still playing catch up from previous windows and look to have a big job in the summer. The odd signing in January, if it’s not silly money of cours...

Emphasis appears to be on a wider net, with comments of internationally and globally. There’s obviously a lot of competition out there for the brightest young stars, so it’ll be interesting to see how our recruitment of youngsters develops. Fingers crossed, in the next three, four, five or more year...

A thing of beauty, reminds me of an English ground.

If we ever did decide to move away from Turf Moor (hopefully never) I’d much prefer something like this than a soulless bowl.

Hoping for a Danish win tonight against the sweaties.

It reminds me a bit of Ibrox

DCWat

A consistently fit JBG would probably not be at the club anymore, would have be sold to the likes of Everton/Leicester etc a year or two ago He’s had some good spells, but I don’t think he’s delivered anything like the performances required to be considered by teams further up the PL pecking order....

DCWat

I’ve seen us put plenty of corners in, worse than that!!

DCWat

The lack of signing a more offensively minded midfielder, is a little disappointing (assuming we don’t make a late signing). It’s an area we’ve needed quality reinforcements for some time. However, that’s not to dismiss the deals that we have completed. It’s been a huge step in the right direction. ...

If we stay as we are, has this been a decent window?

RW and CH were priorities, but for me so was CM. So, a pleasing window but not more than a 7.

DCWat

Maybe long term but currently I think Lowton is in fantastic form. Not sure you can fault him? I’m not against Lowton although I’ve been disappointed with some of his deliveries, from an attacking perspective. Aside from that, he’s done reasonably well. I do however think it’s one of the more obvio...

DCWat

If, as posted, his preference is to play RB, I can’t see that happening at Everton (displacing Coleman) or here, the form Lowts is in (1 goal conceded from right side, which was JBG’s fault for allowing the cross to come in imo). In any event, seems Roberts is considered more cost effective. I’d pl...

DCWat

Great first game in the Euros but distinctly average after that. Not a patch on Rice.

He’s a decent player but not international standard. Young enough to get there but time will tell.

DCWat

Lacked a bit of creativity, through the middle (as is often the case) and down the right, but I thought we shaded it. If Cornet offers the pace and skill down the right hand side, that we are missing, it’ll be a big boost. I was a tad concerned after their equaliser, they looked to have more left in...

DCWat

Central midfield & forward I agree, but right back isn't essential for me in this window, of course if somebody comes up at the right fee, then by all means get them in, but we're fairly well served with Bards/Lowts in that position. Centre mid certainly needs an upgrade if we can, although Brownhi...

Not sure who, but priorities for me would be central midfield, forward and right back.

I was surprised to see a stat last week, which put Bamford up as one of the fastest players recorded in the league, so far this season.

I’d never thought of him as particularly speedy, though no slouch. Must have been late for violin practice.

DCWat

Looks like the announcement is minutes away. Safe to say, first impressions count for a lot, so probably not the best day to boo taking the knee fellow Clarets. We don’t want Cornet to be regretting it before he’s even pulled on a shirt. Be nice if that could be put to bed once and for all. Like it...

I worked out our Sean long ago regarding press conferences. He'll answer properly to the journos he likes, and the ones he doesn't like he's very off with them and quite rude. Beardy from Radio Lancs will get a very different answer to the same sort of question as Alex James from Lancs Live will ge...

He needs to win something, it doesn't have to be the league, but he needs some silverware. Once the first one is won, then others will follow, especially at a club like Utd. It gets the monkey off his back so to speak, starts creating a winning mentality. Ronaldo will be a big driving force in rega...

Interesting position it puts City in now. They surely need a striker if they’re to challenge at the business end of Champions League.

More realistic than greedy! Squad still short even with this excellent signing. Hard to argue with that view. As Pace said in his recent interview, it’ll take a few windows. However, following a few in which we’ve underinvested, we probably do need at least one more decent signing in this window. W...

Just heard we are for in a striker. No names yet but a striker coming in will probably mean one leaving

I wouldn’t be against that, depending on who was in / out although, if I had the choice, I’d probably opt for a a central midfielder in and one out.

Is there one leader in that Arsenal team!?

Unless something random has bubbled away without our knowledge (rare these days as stuff seems to leak all over), you’d have to think two from Maitland-Niles, Lookman and Christie?

Could be wrong, but I’d assume them to be names not previously linked, based on the “new” comment.

It’s a shame that with all the songs out there we always seem to be limited to altering lyrics to five or six constantly recycled tunes.

DCWat

Just a couple of points about inverted wingers. 1. It's not always about the cross. Cutting in on your preferred foot opens up several attacking options, e.g. through ball, one-two etc. It also causes the opposition defence to move out of position. It tests how organised they are. 2. It creates spa...

Kante's had a great campaign also, but if you win a CL and then a EC, that's always going to count in your favour. Telling that the top 2 are both Chelsea midfielders isn't it They’re favourites for the Premier League, in my eyes. Ronaldo may of course tip the balance the other way but, and althoug...

DCWat

I suppose winning the Euros clinched it but Kante would have been my choice.

DCWat

Meh - less meh with a couple more proper signings.

DCWat

Great news if this comes off. We could still do with at least one more (not including Lennon)… With a week until the window closes, there’s still a chance.

I might even end a post with exciting times if we got another quality signing, alongside Cornet!

I didn't say he wasn't a productive pest. Signing John McGinn made a massive difference to them in terms of midfield stability and opening up the options for Grealish to freely flutter about. That caused a lot of teams, including us, big problems as they tried to cope with him. I don't think there ...

DCWat

I objected to Shaqiri and I thought Grealish was more of a pest than a player in the Championship. However, in respect to the latter he has improved massively in the Premiership. Moving him out to the left wing, surrounding him with better players and exposing him to a higher level of football that...
