Doubt Dyche will budge Taylor but he's not convincing and looks the weak link in defence. He’s the least experienced member of our defence....give him time to develop and improve will you. Also getting Brady in front of him will offer him more support and mean that he can perhaps do a better job sa...

We need to think about bringing in 3-4 players and shipping a couple out afterwards. James Ward-Prowse would give us extra class in midfield and another wide option Aron Gunnarsson would give us extra "bite" in midfield Jay Rod would give us a different type of attaking player Am sure that there are...

Kiraly
Sinclair / Cox / Diallo / Kalvanes
JBG / Defour / Djemba-Djemba / Arfield
Akinbiyi / Wood

That’s the best I can come up with....edited to include Scott Arfield!

Without knowing the exact role it’s incredibly difficult to figure out who exactly would be a good fit for the role. CT’s comments about it being a recruitment role primarily but with heavy input into the academy side of the club mean that for me we need somebody with a track record of successful tr...

I sincerely hope that we’re not the club he’s referring to and that we’re more understanding than whoever it is that he’s obliquely talking about. Fair play to him for going public- a brave man!

Yeah, winning stuff is for losers! Where did I say I didn’t want to win? That’d be brilliant but I admit it’s unlikely. My enjoyment of being a Burnley fan is not dependent on winning everything we take part in. As long as we give it our all and don’t disgrace the club, the fans, the town I’ll take...

Ambition for this season... (1) Maintain Premier League status- thereby allowing us to improve the club in whatever way is necessary; e.g. developing playing squad and style, ground improvements, scouting network, increasing commercial opportunities and so on. (2) Good run in the cups. Truthfully I’...

Now West Brom have some big thinking to do....what are they going to do with Dawson?

He doesn’t want to be there and they may have priced him out of a move. Upset player causing tension inside the club????

The Holding one may be a “goer”; talk there is that Chambers is wanted more than Holding so he could be available. Also his best mate from Arsenal was Oxlade-Chamberlain and he’s up north now....never mind the fact that his family are from the north west! He’ll cost us a bit but we’ll worth it I thi...

You'd sell Heaton for £1m when it is being reported West Ham are set to offer £10m? Seems an odd sort of transfer policy to adopt in my opinion. :) :lol: Fair point Goobs- I boobed; I meant eight figures! I stand by my point though; a £10 million fee for Heaton a player who may not be the same as h...

BurnleyPaul

A hell of a keeper but if we get somebody come in with a seven figure fee then he can go for me. Why? In Pope and Lindegaard we have two good keepers who are first team ready. We have young Connor Mitchell in the U23 squad who is coming along well too. Finally it is unthinkable that we don’t already...

Apart from the fact that Sean Dyche wasn't manager then ;) Some suggestion that we should want him back in some sort of coaching role; I don't really get this, can he coach, and would he have the necessary badges? If he doesn’t then he can get them whilst here with us....you have to start somewhere...

BurnleyPaul

One for the coaching staff possibly? I think that we’ve moved beyond him on the pitch but, depending on ins and outs this summer, if Dyche wants him back at the club in some capacity then it’s a no brainer really. I’d like us to start looking at the next generation of coaches for the club; Sean and ...

Head turned perhaps?

Unless this is a loan with a view to a permanent signing then it makes no sense. Holding isn’t wanted at Arsenal so this loan might actually be an extended trial (of sorts)- simply to see if he fits into our squad / way of doing things. If Dyche thinks that Holding is a player that will improve our ...

For me Ulvestad needs either selling (if somebody wants him) or simply having his contract paid up and released before the deadline (thereby allowing him the chance o find a club after the deadline!). At the very least he needs removing from the PL squad to free up his place. Walters could, for me a...

BurnleyPaul

I've no problem with buying players up to the age of 28, and obviously every side has its sprinkling of squad players over 30 but to purchase 5 over 30's is quite honestly ridiculous. So in a 25 man squad it’s ridiculous to have 1/5 of the players 30 or over? Especially when 2 of them are goalkeepe...

Jozo Simunovic, Joe Worrall or Tomas Kalas at Centre half for me. Also need another striker. It might be pushing the boat out but I would make a move for Moussa Dembele at Celtic.

I don’t want to see Ashley go but let’s be honest; if Chelsea do make an offer for him then I think we have to consider him in this equation.

I’d imagine that Brady will be removed for the second half of the season and that Ulvestad will get taken off too (as he’ll not get a game now Marney’s nearly back and he’s leaving at the end of his contract in the summer!). Depending on Heaton’s health and injury status we may see Legdzins removed ...

BurnleyPaul

If we can replace him with better now then sell him. If we can’t then we’ll likely see him move on at the end of the season as we’ll need to free up some space in our 25 man squad unless a few of our u21 development squad players come on leaps and bounds and can supplement our 1st team playing squad...
