Why should Burnley be allowed to postpone games and not forced to use their academy players but City should be forced to use theirs? Why should Manchester United have been allowed to postpone their fixture at Brentford, scheduled to have been played on 18 December 2021, having reported a small numb...

From what CT said the other day we haven't been looking at any strikers, so we have just more or less condemned ourselves haven't we? Being one of the 3 lowest scoring teams in the PL last season and having 4 strikers all aged around 30 years old obviously didn't start any alarm bells ringing. Give...

Hi guys, this thread is headed "Transfer Window Rumours" - though, we know no one sticks to the subject. I found the photo of a "Jersey Passport" cover interesting. Yes, transfers include having the money to pay for the incoming players, however, other than that, most of this thread does not qualif...

It's hilarious to read the flip flop nonsense on here, most posters on here thought Leicester were gonna call the game off and were crying about them playing the system, now we've done it all is forgotten. Fwiw I think the right decision has been made by the PL, we clearly don't have the required n...

You're seriously delusional if you think we'll stay up with Carroll, a guy who has scored 1 Championship goal all season. Jay Rodriguez has yet to score a league goal this season. An indicator of the perilous situation we have helped create for ourselves by not bringing in at least 1 striker who wa...

I actually agree with them, but it's a bit late when it's been going on for 2 months now and previously it's been far from transparent imo. Following the original postponement at the request of Watford they have been busy in the transfer market adding 3 players to their squad, Hassane Kamara report...

For once this may have worked in our favour, so good, as I was dreading the outcome tomorrow, but not sure about the fixture congestion later and the risk of falling too far behind the others even with games in hand. It looks like questions are now being asked by media about our motives in light of...

Reading are 21st in the Championship. Andy Carroll has scored 1 goal. It’s the most ridiculous rumour I’ve ever seen from this club and we signed Crouch and Walters in the past. Whilst I am not advocating the signing of Andy Carroll it is worth noting that Jay Rodriguez has netted 1 PL goal in his ...

Good opportunity to play one of our more winnable games now and hopefully build some confidence rather than down the line when we’ve a mountain to climb.

Rest assured Watford will be thinking this is perfect timing also now that Woody has jumped ship and put a severe dent in our confidence.

According to The Guardian online Sean Dyche is reported to be "furious" and the Burnley hierarchy "spitting feathers" at the sale/loss of their key front man to a relegation rival. Be interesting to see if that comes across in tomorrows press conference.

kentonclaret

Relegation is inevitable sooner or later for a club like ours. That the "sink into the mire" is happening slowly (and hasn't actually happened at all yet) is another indication of how successful the policy has been. True, but you can certainly hasten it along by leaving yourself in a position where...

Alternatively, look at how long that policy has kept us in the Premier League.

You are correct, but continuing with that policy has seen us sink slowly, deeper and deeper into the mire as though we were walking in quicksand.

Given his form has been poor in frontnof goal we aren't losing s lot there but I think he offers a lot more than people give him credit for. You would certainly not be alone in believing that to be the case but the stats tell a very different story. Over the past 5 season totalling 144 PL games Chr...

Just heard on Radio, that we got 20 million up front....never gonna turn that down

The quote from Eddie Howe that made a story on the BBC Football website this week made me laugh headlined "We don't have a blank Cheque".

I hope not so long as £20 million is written on it.

Questions need to be addressed as to why we were left almost entirely reliant on Chris Wood, who top scored last season with 12 goals, with the next highest contribution from any player being 3 goals. Chris Wood has failed to fire for us this season and we find ourselves in the bottom 3 which should...

No. Until the first half of this season our strikers have scored enough goals. It has always been goals from midfield we were lacking. Wood scored 12 (late flurry of goals at tail end of season) Vydra scored 3. Barnes scored 3 Rodriguex scored 1 (1 more PL goal than he has managed this season thus ...

I bet you could find a few more threads to post this on if you tried hard enough.

It took a long time to convince people like yourself that we didn't score enough goals and needed a shake-up in the striker department.

Sunk in now has it??

Aside from the fact that Wood had only scored 3 times this season people are overlooking the ZERO Assists.

So, he had hardly struck up a fantastic partnership with Cornet, whatever the "experts" on the Sky Transfer Show want people to believe.

kentonclaret

A lot of speculation and misinformation being bandied about by the media over the departure and sale of Wood.

Looking as though the clause is summer window only which suggests they’ve actually made an offer that’s acceptable to us. Should that be the case and we have no replacement(s) lined up then I would agree that it amounts to a reckless gamble instead of a smart piece of business. Relying on Rodriguez...

kentonclaret

If that Crouch tweet is genuine then I think we should at least ask the question. Indeed, even if it's not. Blimey. Wood may have been having an awful season but even so he offered the possibility of a goal at least. If we do go down let's hope it's at least been confirmed before the Newcastle game...

An awful lot of nonsense being spoken about Chris Wood some of it on Sky Sport's Transfer Show when one of the presenters remarked "And let's not forget the effect this will have on Maxwell Cornet, who is away on AFCON duties, who provided the perfect foil for Cornet and they worked so well together...

Terrible loss for us at both ends of the pitch. Just watch him go with the service he will get from Fraser, Tripper and St. Max. Can't blame him though, he's deserted a sinking ship and probably doubled his salary for the next three years or so even if he hardly kicks a ball for them next season. I...

Stats for Chris Wood in the PL this season so far are 3 goals scored and ZERO Assists.

So much for all the talk of being a foil for Cornet and setting up chances.

£25 million KERR CHING.

To all those posting that Chris Wood is vital to the way that Burnley play, holding up the ball, creating chances, scoring goals. Take a look at his stats for this season. 3 goals scored and ZERO assists. So much for being a foil for Cornet.

Exactly, so Dyche and Pace have had a few extra days to try and get their ducks in a row.

Let's hope Howe doesn't really stick the boot in and offload Dwight Gayle to us :x Dyche and Pace should have been aware of this for several days so let's see what/who they have in place going forwards.

I could understand Matt Richie, at a push but I really don’t get the obsession with Dwight Gayle; we looked at him years ago… he has done little since.

Dwight Gayle has been a substitute in 19 of Newcastle's PL games and played just 27 minutes.

Right age though (32)

The service to him in the Championship would be better and I'd be stunned if he didn't get double figures if went down and he was still here. The odds for him to score double figures would be very short. You seem to be in agreement with me that in order to score regularly at Championship level the ...

kentonclaret

Should Burnley be relegated Chris Wood would struggle to reach double figures in the Championship given the same level of service that he is receiving at the moment. This idea that he would be scoring for fun would need a transformation in our playing squad and approach.
