I’m becoming convinced that Benny has big offers and is funding some of this summer spending. We can’t possibly need so many wide players!! I doubt it, it will need to be massive money and he struggled to start for a Championship team last season at times so that kind of money is unlikely... We don...

I didn’t boo and never will.Fully understand it though.He’s brought it upon himself. Why?... Because of a contract covenant that he and also the club agreed to?... If he is being called a w@nker and booed because of that, then they may as well boo Alan Pace as well... I'm not surprised to be honest...

This board is good for a laugh if nothing else!...

"Gyokeres not good enough for us" and "We can do better than Brownhill"...

You guys are in for a massive shock if you think we are buying better players than those two in those positions!

People here praise Ashley Barnes for scoring 6 goals and making a contribution last season but I can easily see Weghorst making a very similar type of contribution in the Prem, yet he's not good enough lol.

Flemming similar position to Tresor, number 10 who can play out from the left, maybe we have been priced out of Tresor Never was a chance of signing Tresor and I have said that from the very first rumours... Cloud cuckoo land speculation!.. He will be going to a far wealthier and larger club than o...

Brighton in for Verbrugge Napoli in for Tresor Villareal in for Butez Can't say I'd be surprised if we missed out on all three! I've said from the very beginning that there was absolutely zero chance of us signing Tresor!... Zilch, diddly squat, not in a million years!... He will be signing for a f...

The speed of the sell-out and the amount allocated to season ticket holders has caught me off guard, to be honest, and my son is going to be seriously peed off with me when he realises we can't get on next season...

I have watched two YouTube videos of Ekdal...

According to that Swans report, 'Burnley are prepared to pick up his 'Obafemi's', heavy wages'.

While we are on parachute payments, our wages, although much reduced from last year will be quite a bit heavier than a lot of teams at this level. Well for a season or maybe even 2 at this level anyway.

Ric_C: Penny for Scott Twines thoughts right now. Gets his chance, scores a worldie... and then we sign two more strikers He's not an out-and-out striker for me and is not a like-for-like comparison with those 2 new strikers... He could play in 3 or 4 positions; As a false 9, a 10, the advanced rol...

We had very similar comments from when SD got us to the Premier. The truth is that we have no idea. You make some good points but completely different scenarios...

I was literally the only person in the main threads before the summer window that said we should keep him...

Hipper: He's a good judge, not yet great. He's bought in players that have done practically nothing: Twine, McNally, Egan-Riley, Bastien, Churlinov. He's done better with loans, only Dervisoglu offering little. I know it's a novelty to us but it's called 'having a squad'... When you have a decent-s...

What did you make of him?... We apparently made a few bids for him in the summer!... Interestingly...

Taylor is apparently not a central defender but we have one the best goals-against stats in the league with him mainly playing there

If we are still in the top two come January, I'd rather be looking at making some of the loan deals permanent than making "new" signings. What we don't wanna do is sign 4-5 players in In January that then need replacing for the premier league. In an ideal world yes but not going to happen... We won...

If Taylor is fit I think he’ll come back in for Beyer

VK is extremely cautious when it comes to fitness and return from injury so it would not surprise me if he's on the bench.

All great, enjoying our football again and super impressed with our strength in depth, except for the position Jay Rodriguez is currently playing...

If Rodriguez gets a long-term injury, our chances of promotion are all but over...

That is a massive gamble and oversight in my opinion!

I am personally happy to wait 2 seasons if it takes that but it's a bit of a catch22 situation if we do reasonably well but don't go up this season as we will likely lose our best players in Brownhill and Cullen and we would also be extremely unlikely to sign any of the loans on permanent deals so w...

Richardson again! Zero goals and assists versus QPR under 21s yesterday

I know Burnley fans are only 2nd to Everton for toxicity and impatience judging by our reaction to our young team and young goalkeeper in the last game but come on, Richardson has just come back from a very long injury layoff.

BigChaCha

Is he up to it at this level?

This level being bang-average from what I've seen so far.

BigChaCha

Agree with this the run by Taylor Belis in the 2nd half is exactly what we need one of our midfielders/forward to be doing regularly.

That has been a problem for a very long time, not just a VK prerogative.

RVclaret: It does look like we’ll be playing with 1 striker only which is interesting, given VK played with 2 at Anderlecht. Do you know what the quality of his Anderlecht strikers was?...

To me if we sign Kouyate we should still keep Taylor I think there's still a very good chance that we lose at least one of Taylor, Brownhill and Roberts if not two of them...

Hannibal is class! And his hair is class too. Really hope this one is true.

He was horrifically bad in a pre-season friendly that I saw him in... Has a very nasty temperament like Luis Suárez as well but without the talent.
