By my count they've signed 77 players in the last five years. Mental way to run a club.

Stanislav Varga - Slovakia

and two I found on Wikipedia:

Delroy Facey - Grenada
Leon Cort - Guyana

Be under no illusions, the three that went down were absolute sh1te True but we only took 9 points from the relegated teams which I think is doable against Norwich, Brentford and Watford this season. Which would mean we just have to repeat our points total against the rest of the league - again doa...

It's definitely a no to Kiefer Moore from me. Average player, 29, not an improvement on Barnes... would be a total waste of money.

Is it not possible due to his stint with the youth national teams

Not with just five caps for the u-17s back in 2015 (according to Wikipedia).

Apparently the new work permit rules value Copa Libertadores/Copa Sudemerica appearances highly so maybe that makes it possible.

8th or 9th biggest wage bill in the league.

5th two seasons in a row, 1 FA Cup and 1 Community Shield.

I'd say they're punching above their weight.

For all the talk of England better off finishing 2nd they will end up with a far easier chance to get to the final by being in top spot. Agreed. We'd most likely be looking at this route to the final: 2nd round: France/Germany/Portugal/Hungary at Wembley. Quarter final: Sweden/Ukraine in Rome. Semi...

I'd rather we went all out for Brendan Rodgers. I know he's not English but close enough.

Pickford

Swap Maguire and Henderson for White and Phillips when fit.

northernpowerhouse

Spare me this "he got to a European final" nonsense. He got to the final of a competition they didn't want to be in and lost to an inferior team. He's keeping his job because the owners don't give a **** as long as he finishes in the top 4 and the money keeps rolling in. Financially it doesn't matte...

Burnley, Mallorca and Alaves interested in young Getafe right back Juan Iglesias for £6 million.

If true it's a win/win for Dyche. Either our owners match that 'war chest' or he goes to Palace and does a good job. Most of their out of contract players will re-sign if they get Dyche and as long as he keeps them up first season they've got more potential than Burnley in the long term. Serious ris...

France hot favourites with everyone else a long way back. Germany will probably flop. Low's a lame duck manager which rarely ends well. Could even go out in the group stage.

Burnley took 37 pts from 25 games when all of Pope, Mee and Tarky played.

But only 2 pts from 13 when one or more of those 3 didn’t play.

So inportant to us

So hypothetically you'd expect us to get 56 points and finish somewhere around 11th if they were fit for every game.

Are Palace any better off financially then we are?, Zaha is almost certain to leave in the summer, and they have 12/13 players out of contract, so whoever inherits that gig will face a major rebuilding job from day 1, I do agree that if BFC don't at least give SD a reasonable chance of competing in...

Plays in a team that fits the system England play. Why do you think Konsa at Villa has jumped above Tarks in the pecking order. I don’t agree with it at all but it’s the reality of the situation. He's played 5 games for a team that fits the system England play. For the last two seasons he was playi...

I think we're looking at about 38 this year. Easy run in for us but we don't want it to go to the final day against Sheff U. Everton, Wolves, Leeds and Southampton will be key games. Inconsistent sides who don't have much to play for. Beating Newcastle or Fulham could be knockout blows but realistic...

We're on track for 20 goals, equal with Derby in their 11 point season. The joint lowest in any English top flight season, ever.

Surviving in the PL while lowering the age of the squad. Nothing more than that.

northernpowerhouse

"Bright Osayi-Samuel has completed more take-ons (53) and had more touches inside the opposition box (129) than any other player in the Championship this season."

Sign him up!

northernpowerhouse

It's fair enough to criticise his finishing. That shot on Saturday was reminiscent of the one he fluffed against Sheff Utd at the end of last season. He needs to improve from those kind of positions.

Apart from that.... Nah he's brilliant.

northernpowerhouse

I'd guess something like this:

Pickford
Walker Dier Mings
Trippier Rice Henderson Chilwell
Mount Kane Grealish

northernpowerhouse

I've got a feeling they're going to win this one quite comfortably. We've got a habit of getting done by promoted sides early on (Fulham, Sheff Utd) and I can still remember those two 4-0s when Pulis was in charge. They're not bad going forward either.

3-1 to them.

northernpowerhouse

Yeah I've used it a few times in the past and it works pretty well. I haven't had major sleep problems but a big mug before bed definitely does something. Similar to a weak valium.

northernpowerhouse

Really find it hard to accept that the loss of Hart, Lennon and Hendrick is so detrimental! Only Hendrick. According to www.transfermarkt.co.uk we got 27 points from the 14 games he started on the right-wing last season. 27 from 24 in the games he didn't. Obviously JBG can do a job there but he won...

IF this squad get relegated it will be because they haven't competed well enough and not because we haven't spent enough. I disagree. Dyche has overachieved every single season at the club relative to the quality of players at his disposal. If we get relegated it will be because we start performing...

northernpowerhouse

I think that phrase sums it up. Without the guaranteed TV money coming in "we can't afford to pay a full Premier League squad" at the moment . At the moment maybe but not if Tarks had gone. If he went that money would presumably have increased our wage budget and gone towards at least two players (...

Apparently only £35m was offered and Brentford are entitled to 25% I think (someone will correct me). That’ll leave us with £26.25m to spend on 2 PL defenders (Tarks replacement + 1 back up) and 1 more (say RM). Those 3 would cost around £6m on £40,000 a week. Imho, that’s not what the problem real...

northernpowerhouse

If we literally can't afford to spend any money then we should have sold Tarkowski and got in two or three players for the money he brought in. Sticking with the current squad amounts to throwing in the towel. It's mismanagement of the club.

Grealish I see as more an attacking midfielder, so would prefer him in midfield with Henderson and maybe Phillips.

Southgate says he doesn't see him in that role which means it'll be Mount + two of Henderson, Rice, Winks, Ward-Prowse and Phillips. Pretty dire midfield imo.

For a quarter of the money, as a relatively unknown.

He'd played for Bayern and Inter and been to two World Cups by that point. Definitely not relatively unknown.

Same as last Saturday. I'm actually quite excited about this one. They'll play a load of youngsters and if we win it will be our best cup run under Dyche.

From Leicestershire Live this morning (Fofana is a centre-back) : As things stand, it seems Fofana is more likely to arrive than Tarkowski. The latest from L'Equipe is that City have bid €35m (£31.8m) with €5m (4.6m) in add-ons in what is their fourth, and supposedly final, offer. L'Equipe add that ...

Not 100% sold on his overall game but his set pieces are fantastic. Would be a great signing.

northernpowerhouse

Stephens would be a good signing but not at the expense of a right-winger. If the plan is to sign Stephens and shove Brownhill out wide that's not very encouraging. If he's being signed to compete with Brownhill in the centre that's great news.

northernpowerhouse

Some might not want to hear this but our recruitment has been very good since we got promoted. You simply don't equal your best points total if it wasn't. Getting into Europe and being close to getting in a second time around says we are doing well in getting in the correct players. Good results do...

Three defensive midfielders? Not sure if I've ever seen that before.

Kalvin Phillips in :lol: :lol: :lol: As he should be. Beggars can't be choosers and England aren't in a position to overlook a talented ball-playing defensive midfielder just because he's been playing in the championship. We're crying out for a Carrick-style player who can sit deep and set the tempo.

1st in the PL for number of clearances.
1st for headed clearances.
2nd for blocks, 1 behind Tyrone Mings.

Lets hope he seals the treble against Brighton!

Also Chris Wood is in line to retain his title for most offsides. Just two ahead of Callum Wilson. Don't mess it up!

When people are saying he's currently the best left back in the country behind Robertson, of course it is hyperbole. Of course it's great that he has other qualities, but that doesn't get away from the fact that he's not a good crosser of the ball. 1 assist in 65 Premier League games is pretty poor...

I'll go with 1-1 but can easily see us winning this one. They've lost three in a row and play Norwich in the cup on Wednesday. Seems ripe for a Mourinho meltdown.
