We paid £15 million for Chris Wood - who is better. I think Sam Vokes is a great player and is the best winner of the long ball that's ever existed in the history of football. But Chris Wood is better. Wood and Barnes, as a pairing, are the best we have and we need to hush stick with those 2 in a 4...

17 PL goals in 37 PL starts 2 back to back 20 goal hauls in The Chanpionship 2 promotions so knows his way around that. Target man. British. 29 years old. International. £9m is a STEAL for him. If he wants to go then, for him, id let him go, but it will cost £20/£25m to replace the guaranteed output...

I've never had a season ticket due to... 'the package on offer as a whole'. I have one because I'm a Burnley supporter. Stop talking sense, BOT! But, yes, it’s about being a Burnley fan and just getting on there and supporting them.... not about being ‘entertained’ or product / package / experience...

ClaretShaun

I honestly can't see what the urgency is as the question of new players is about their quality first and last, and a) that's if we want anyone . b) That their quality is good enough if we do. No good just signing someone for the sake of it is there as we have seen in previous windows. Because there...

TVC15. Great post. Agree. We don’t really need any new players as of now, people get obsessed with it, it’s quite strange. You would think most would understand how we work by now. Very selective over the players we would like to bring into the club, leading to a ridiculously good success rate on re...

ClaretShaun

Chris Wood is a 1 goal in every 2 starts PL striker.

Vokes and Barnes pretty much the same too.

We’re lucky to have 3 “one in two” strikers who fit into our wage structures.

That’s in not the most of attacking of sides too Ansbro ole that starved of penalties.

ClaretShaun

I’d be very surprised to see Defour in the 11 again this season, even if fully fit.

He certainly wouldn’t make my selection even with 3 in the middle and he would make nobodies selection in a 442 which I imagine we will retain now (and should do).

ClaretShaun

Its an improvement going to league 2 but honestly, its still not high enough for those players to be worth anything to us. Lets hope he follows Jimmy Dunne's ways though Wrong. They all grow as young men going into proper adult life when sent away on loan on ‘their own’. As long as they get minutes...

ClaretShaun

We definitely do things the right way, for us, and I wouldn’t like too see that changed. It’s the reason we have what we have.

ClaretShaun

Not in a million years would Sean ever bring anything like that into his group.

Literally never.

If he did ever pull on our Claret though then he would be abused by us for every minute he played....and rightly so.

ClaretShaun

A wild suggestion to the stupid / those lead by media .... but for what he has done for America, in such short time, bringing about the ‘real’ change they needed / wanted then Mr Trump wouldn’t be out of place for the ‘award’.

Never been as president as nailed on for a second term.

Complete non story.

I wouldn’t bother with him. This is the ever contradictory f@nny who complained that the new disabled sections aren’t “rounded off” (which would make them smaller anyway. Not that it matters what they look like. Weird.). Now it’s puddles / poor facilities. Last Tuesday she was in a meltdown over how...

Tip.

Log in McDonald’s and Starbucks WiFi.

Just once.

Pretty much always be on WiFi while walking around outside. Or pick it up every minute or so.

Much appreciated. You’re a gent. Would have been happy to pay rrp or even more seen as its out of print.

Will make a start on it this evening.

Superb. I will have a dark blue wooly hat on. Will be there bang on 7.45 (or before).

How much do you want for it? Thanks.

ClaretShaun

We have very, very good strikers. Barnes, Wood and Vokes all pretty much 1 goal every 2 starts. Which is decent at PL level in a side that doesn’t get penalties and, according to some, has very little creativity or desire to attack. That said J-Rod would be a most welcome addition, we should paid £2...

ClaretShaun

Appreciated.

Ive taken a screen shot of your info.... will give it a bash when I get a moment.

ClaretShaun

Please.

Just a case of when and where.

I am at every home match from an hour before kick off?

ClaretShaun

Wish I understood this.

I have an amazon firestick and use it for all on demand services, iplayer, YouTube etc.

Happy to pay £15 pcm or £70 pa (never has Sky or Virgin or anything, only freebies)..... just no idea how to do it?

ClaretShaun

Hi ClaretShaun. Yes this is the 4th in the series of Premier League Diaries. all the three previous books are available in digital format from Amazon Kindle. The second and third volumes are also available in paperback format from Amazon. The only one out of print is book 1, 'A Season in the Sun'. ...

ClaretShaun

Is this the 4th one by PH?

If so, there is one I don’t have that I am keen to source

ClaretShaun

“What app do you currently use on your device”

Don’t understand that question, Ian, under the option where I’ve selected Firestick?

ClaretShaun

MON is clearly as stupid as many posters on here in thinking he plays “in the hole” for Burnley, that is plays where he plays for us to create chances.

He doesn’t.

....and he doesn’t play “number 10” for Burnley. As nonsense a badge as that is anyway.

ClaretShaun

File the pig alongside other low life like Ian Huntley and that. Attention seeking with it too.

Completescum.

Wouldn’t be welcome here and would take much worse verbal from us in our colours than even players from from opposing teams get.

Just easier if it was White Hart lane

Was stood by exit when Wood scored last season. Legged it soon as whistle went. At KC 25 min after whistle.

It’s just missing the u/g queues.

Already booked the cheap train fares to Euston.

Same. But can’t see the day or time changing cause of that. Doesn’t really matter. Bit further out I guess but leave when whistle goes,or just before, and Wembley is ok to get away from.

The £23 each ways now available online, Jrg

Surely you’re going to watch Burnley, not a building??

Advance fares are expected to be out early this week. I tweeted Virgin Rail about it so that is straight from the horses mouth. East Coast have already released theirs so the best I could get going from Leeds was 58 quid. I’ve Justin checked. The previous 2 Saturdays you can get £22 each way Manc t...

Fulham now 5.30 Saturday but not yet announced by BT

So spurs remains 3PM Sat and won’t be on tv

About to book Spurs train.

Been told BT have a game to announce that weekend tho?

Can games be moved once tv schedule out?

ClaretShaun

Can anyone say when TV games are announced?

Cheap rail tickets will be on sale this coming Sunday, so can usually get £30 ish return..... but how likely is it that the game will be moved to Sunday?

For a striker who can bag 25 in Champ and 10 in PL, probably going rate

I suspect that they would be our two marquee signings, certainly - unless Mee were to depart. I could imagine us also wanting to add another option on the flank, especially down the left (we've 3 real wide options following the departures of Arfield and Nkoudou, and only Brady of those prefers the ...

ClaretShaun

How much do you think they are worth? Quite a lot more than the £28.5m we paid for the speculative punts (one on old money too) that were Hendrick and Wood. Both paid off and both are definite PL performers .... but Dawson & Rod as a brace should cost a lot more than the other pair did ‘at point of...

ClaretShaun

The signing was fine. The morons who whinge at signing players like Wells, Walters, Chalobah, Bamford and that kid from Spurs... are the same morons who whinge after a few injuries that we’ve “not filled our 25”. We will never just be able to sign a Wood, Brady, Hendrick every time...even if we coul...

ClaretShaun

If we can get both for only £30m then we really have had their pants down.

Barring any major outgoings it’ll pretty much sort our summer business out all in one go, you’d expect maybe 1, max 2 more ‘fillers’ on top of these two

ClaretShaun

Lallana isn’t in the 23.

I’d go
Butland
Trippier Walker Cahill Stones Rose
Alli Henderson Lingard
Rashford
Kane

Pickford Maguire Young Sterling he will play tho. The other 7 will be the same

ClaretShaun

West Brom haven’t changed and I don’t know why we are wasting time trying to buy their players , they still want over market value for players who got them relegated. We paid up to £28.5m for Hendrick and Wood with only presumption they could play at PL level (which they both definitely can). We wi...

ClaretShaun

Sooner stick to the domestic market.

100%

ClaretShaun

Because if those players then kick off for increased money etc they arent the team players we thought they were. If you can bring in a more experienced, established and sought after player who ultimately costs more money but may help take you to the next level why would you be against it as a playe...

ClaretShaun

Think it’ll take more. Unless they are desperate for dough.

If we paid £15/£18m for Wood a year ago then Jay is definitely £20m+ (and they deserve a big profit on their £12m for taking the risk).

£30m?
