If only we had a midfielder who could run, eh, Boysie? Never mind. Joking apart - last night showed why we don't need to get carried away in the transfer market, and why its so difficult to improve on what we've got - but it also gave us a platform to offer players confidence they're signing up for...

Three lots of surgery while he's been here hasn't helped

No I agree it hasn't but even so they were times when he could have expected a game after plenty of poor performances from the undroppable Mee and Tarks

Gibson wasn't available today but I'm not sure we will see him in a Burnley shirt again

yep he is off and who can blame him - been treated poor in my opinion

BOYSIE31

Not me but 2 cracking results and hopefully sets us up for a major rebuild this summer - as relegation would be unthinkable with the job in hand

And im still far from happy about recruitment but will see what happens - still have a feeling Dyche will walk in the summer though

BOYSIE31

Seeking confirmation of something I saw whilst watching on a dodgy feed last night...… . We were defending and Tarkowski belted it out behind the goal for a corner at the Stretford End. He hit it low and hard and it directly struck a ballgirl(?) crouched down against the advertising hoardings. Even...

Do the haters still think so ?

BOYSIE31

best two midfielders of the last 20 years - Xavi and Iniesta, not much pace but never gave the ball away. Nothing moves quicker than the ball so I'd say the prerequisite is being able to pass it to each other at pace rather than being able to run quickly (although that helps) Ha ha a comparison for...

That is probably one of the funniest posts I've seen on here. Perhaps one of those you didn't cco sider for long enough before pressing the 'submit' button. Oh dear!

Funny because I saw Westwood outrun a 22 year old, very highly rated Tielemans to score our winner on Sunday.

He didnt out run him he got left by him

BOYSIE31

So here we go again a team of 30 year olds would out run a team of early 20 's - what bells****

BOYSIE31

You definitely didn't see Westwood struggle against Maddison fella. We dealt with Maddison pretty well. But in any event, that would be nothing to do with legs, in either case. That's a result of those two - and especially the increasingly impressive Grealish - being better players. Which is why bo...

BOYSIE31

Nothing wrong with the legs of a 29 year old whatsoever. See Westwood for example. As for the wages point - there's some truth in that, but only if you're saving material sums of money by buying younger players. Not sure that's true in the current market. The point about what Howe did is all very w...

BOYSIE31

The age thing is nonsense. Most clubs work on the basis that their team turns over across around about a three year cycle (admittedly, this is not true for us recently, but even under Dyche it held until about 12 months ago). In three years time, Allen will be 32 - which is rarely too old. If we si...

A goal scoring wide man ?

Exactly the type of player we should be after but dont seem to want to go for these type who would fit into English football quite easily

DYCHE TIGHT-LIPPED ON TRANSFERS Burnley manager Sean Dyche has remained tight-lipped when asked about any January transfers, with Ben Gibson linked with a number of Sky Bet Championship clubs. He said: “Every manager is linked with every player, even more so now. The growth in the media as we all kn...

Every club spends money on players who don't work out, and the "Poor Sods" on their 7 figure a year salaries are left to rot. We've signed decent midfielders, good enough for the premier league, Cork, Hendrick, Westwood are right in front of your eyes. They've kept the club in the Premier League fo...

Interesting how you don't answer perfectly simple questions.

You're either on the wind-up or just completely thick.

Probably the latter - anyway lets see what this season brings UTC

BOYSIE31

According to your framings of timescales for history, that summer pre europa is history, so it's irrelevant now. Seems that you want to focus on the right here, right now. Am I correct? Once again, it's pretty simple. Given the available resources and capabilities of the club, Burnley would be expe...

BOYSIE31

We won the whole league in the 60's - its now called history - that 7th place finish was great but also lucky as about 5 teams were well below par that season. And THAT summer was our one and only chance to attract that better player but you know what we bottled it and the club could not wait to ge...

BOYSIE31

So 11 years ago, the scouting network would have found personnel capable of delivering a 7th place finish, and has delivered 4 other years in the premiership and a bunch of uncapped players with the potential to go on and be full internationals? As you quite rightly said, the answer is on the pitch...

BOYSIE31

The club has focused on other things as a priority. These things don't just happen overnight. Do you not think that the scouting network will have evolved in the last 18 months? Do you not think it's evolved in the last 11 years? Looking for a serious answer on that. The answer is on the pitch so n...

Capitalising means looking for ways to compete in the transfer market, and looking to improve the product we offer to supporters. We've a lot of supporters now who are around 65 - they can trace the time they got hooked on Burnley back to the 60s. No-one is saying we should expect to replicate that...

Yeah I do. * We've not been bullied into selling our best players - those linked publicly, but also the advances that happen behind closed doors. * Whilst it may not yet be yielding results, there's transformation in the scouting network.

When he does eventually leave, I'll look at who is available at that time and make a realistic but sensible suggestion.

Wilder got Sheffield United promoted... obviously he deserves the opportunity to stay and try and compete, just like we did with Dyche!

Hi BOYSIE31,
It's apparent from what you post on here that you know a great deal about how a Premier League football Club should be run.
It's frustrating that the club don't make use of your expertise.
What is it that you do for a living?

BOYSIE31

As others have pointed out, it was a bit of a slap in the face for Jay Rod to keep picking an injured, horribly out of form Barnes ahead of him. I think this may be a blessing in disguise, lets face it Dyche would never have dropped Barnes otherwise. Yep agree with all this but the messiah cannot d...

BOYSIE31

Brilliant suggestion! Let’s take a chance on a manager with no premier league experience, therefore binning the manager who has kept us in the top division, even guiding us to the Europa League a couple of years ago! Yeah, your idea has such great logic! :oops: :roll: Neither did Wilder until this ...

BOYSIE31

So Dyche wasn’t acting under advice from medical experts by playing him??? There is no way Dyche would ever play a player against the will of physio team/player/club doctor/surgeons advice. Stop making stuff up to suit your agenda. Did i say that ? Of course he would have been given ADVICE - its ho...

That's what happens when you get desperate or cant land targets A,B or C. If we get a few in with an eye on next season in terms of regulars, it'll also be a bonus if we go down but have the majority of players in and up to speed. It's not only going to be a pivotal window for players, but the next...
