Interested point. I can certainly see Dyche being chopped if they continue to struggle, but I can’t see them spending big in January because I genuinely believe that they simply don’t have the money. New stadium to build and they have been under the microscope for a while now regarding their financ...

BleedingClaret

Hopefully not us, but we are only 1 game in so it’s really hard to say how we will fair. I do wish we would get a left back sorted ASAP though and if rumours are true about signing Bakayoko or something similar then you would hope we would be okay. Luton could well be in trouble and are clearly one...

This is so frustrating
Oh for the days when we knew the team, the formation and could guess who was coming on for who to within 5 minutes

I will be amazed if any Burnley in the next 5 years goes for that sum.

What is it 10 players in history gone for more than that sum.

I wonder how soon it was after Trevor Francis that other players started going for a million plus

My views on this approach are all over this forum - I still think a lot of our business was risky - the sort of deals you do after consolidating in the Prem, not in your first season back.

I think that is the list of the first 10 teams for the World Super Cup Series

BleedingClaret

35 or so left now
Including 5 in a row on the front row of the 100 club, right behind VK, so you could tell him your tactics.

BleedingClaret

What if we don’t consolidate now and have bought a load of dross that no one wants to touch? 🤷‍♂️ Definitely one of ‘the easiest seasons’ to stay up in at least imo, with us being significantly better than both the teams that came up last season. I think there’s regrets at not gambling more on play...

the irony that we can understand Ameen but not the interviewer who originates in the North West

There’s a Norwegian lad I know travels to watch Burnley when he can and I can understand his English but he can’t understand mine, until I slow it down & use some vowels,
He says I swallow my words.

Now this may have been discussed before and if so I apologise. It was good to see Our Ash score for Norwich vs Milwall ….. Hanley currently injured. How do we reckon Barnsey and Hanley will get on as Team mates this season?

Why do you think Hanley’s injured

Koleoshi & Benson as impact subs would be a threat

I would of said so then they signed Ashley young who has played left back in first 2 games for them

Ashley Young has been quality but at 38 you’d think that he’d be being used sparingly off the bench as cover
Taylor is 29, almost 30 a lot younger

BleedingClaret

Regarding Taylor if were protecting a lead late into a game he’s our-most solid defensive LB, so for me he’d be good to have on the bench
Last season we brought players on to win games, this year we may bring them on to protect 3 points or even hold onto a point

Seen on twitter we have signed Haaland, has anyone else heard this ?

Yes I’ve seen it on Up The Clarets

BleedingClaret

I get what your saying but the position he played almost all season was more a left wing back/ left midfield anyway so I don’t think defending was high up on his remit. A lot of attacking came through him and Tella , we look a bit bereft of ideas without them. Although we only have Man City as a ma...

BleedingClaret

For a player who apparently couldn’t defend its quite remarkable we conceded the least goals in the division. Nobody could get the ball off us and we came under minimal pressure But I’m not the only one to spot Mattsen’s poor positioning, rash challenges and over confidence of his own pace off the ...

It might be fair to suggest that Delcroix might be an option to play as a left sided centre half/left back as the likes of Man City do but I think (hope!) we will still be looking for an out and out left back who can play this system like a Maatsen or Gomez. It won’t make me popular on here but I s...

BleedingClaret

We did that to match City I’m not sure if we will play 3 at the back again.. could be wrong, point still stands about the width. I’m not so sure about that, I think he took his time when not pressed but still absolutely pinged it. The howler against Blackpool was on Cullen - that short ball to the ...

Not a problem - and thanks for your response too. I have played football for nearly 50 years now (still playing…kind of).

No he isn’t - but one of his best strengths is splitting wide and putting first time crosses in to the box ‘De Bruyne’ esque if you will

You’ve got me excited now
If Berge can be De Bruyne~esque

BleedingClaret

He was perfectly fine as a keeper but I wouldn’t say his distribution was ‘excellent’ Noticeably slower and needing of an extra touch than Muric - far less ping on his passes as well (can’t teach that imo) You obviously can be taught it when you’re 20 Plus the Muric of the start of last season was ...

Women’s game has been going for more than a hundred years too - it’s just the FA decided to ban them for 50 of that !!

There’s just absolutely 0 width on the left side there - swap berge with Brownhill and have berge drifting out wide putting crosses in and it may work.
