Until we get Mee fit and hopefully a new CH ( presuming Tarks is going) , why not go with 2 holding midfielders to assist Long and Dunne ? Put Brownhill on the right with Bardsley and Pieters on the left with Taylor , this would allow McNeil to have a free role ( as at Palace) to play behind Woody ...

Reality check needed guys. We owe our continued spell in the Premier League to Dyche and our ability to resolutely defend. When we are missing arguably one of the best centre half pairings in the division we will struggle. This pairing give confidence to the rest of the team. We don’t have the flai...

We don't need to sell our soul. We just need to sign a competent cb and right winger this week. If we have to borrow a bit to do it until the Covid vaccine kicks in, so be it.

We are way, way, way off. Barnes has been out all year, we knew Gibson was off in January, Mee has been out ages, we knew Cork was long term and JBG and Brady have a long history of being made of cornflakes. None of this was a surprise. None of this is me using hindsight. There has been a sizeable ...

Embarrassing bench?
3 of them young lads deserve to be there after their displays against Millwall with one of them even pushing to start ahead of Kevin Long!
All enhances our growing reputation for developing young,talented players. UTC

You lot need to get behind the team. Sick of reading your negativity.

We are all behind the team.

Gibson, Hart and Lennon weren't first team players by any stretch of the imagination. Your missing the point. Clubs sign back up players for when starters are injured. Cork and Mee were known to be out for start of the season, Gibson was being moved on. So including Hendrick and Lennon, that's 5 ke...

Because we have not signed Gibson's replacement. We have had 8 monthes to sort that.

And we have known Ben was likely to not start the season since July and probably that Tarks would not sign an extension.

In terms of results in the Prem this season a somewhat strange pattern is emerging thus far. With the conclusion of the Palace/Everton game this afternoon, that's 20 games played so far and yet to feature a drawn game. I make it 7 home wins and remarkably 13 away wins, 60 cumulative points from the...

Tarks would be a great fit for Man Utd they really do need a good CB.Plus they can afford it. Not that I want him to leave. Nobody would, but it the only way we could get what he is worth and maybe a suitable replacement as part of a single deal. Thus avoiding the inevitable last minute poker game ...

summitclaret

He's 27 and will want to maximise his income through the prime if his career. He can probably get double what we could offer in a 4 or 5 year deal and no relegation clause. That's about £10 to £12m.

He's off. If we don't pick up points in the meantime, it's because we have not replaced Gibson.

summitclaret

If you want a good rumour: Tarks was left out of the England squad to help push him away from Dyches grip. One of the top six managers wanted that as a favour from Southgate. No England place finally made him push for a new club. Ha ha and if for a fleeting moment it was true, please say it was Man...

summitclaret

Players will always come and go, and this is the fact of Burnley FC, its happened for years now. Yes to see Tarks leave will be a sad day but he'll move on for a lot more than the 3.5 mill we spent to get him here, that is the business model we have to use to compete in this league. Personally I th...

summitclaret

Possibly a white lie - the sort you tell the kids because it's in their best interests. Reality is if Tarks has said that he won't sign a new deal here, then this is probably time to hark him around. Sadly, I think that he will go and I will be gutted. Let's hope we have solid plans in place for his...

summitclaret

He does deserve backing to the extent that we must get at least 1 cb and right side wide man in now.

Never agreed with the public fuss he made pre the restart re Hendrick etc, when we didn't even know the season would finish.

summitclaret

Ok. What about Smalling then?

summitclaret

If he signed for United he would be in the England squad in a matter of days.

summitclaret

I think this bid will be rejected and they'll need to do better. The problem is, the nearer we get to the transfer window cutoff the more likely we'll be caught with out underpants around our ankles. As well as Long and Dunne have played, they need to be backups for us, not first team starters. The...

What I don’t like is the media whoring him out to “big” clubs all the time - “surely Man Utd should make a move for Tarkowski” or “Leicester are still to make a move for him” I keep hearing snippets whilst listening to Sky Sports news etc, they have zero respect for our club as far as I can see Can...

Who in their right mind would go to a rolling crash like West Ham? If he’s off, it’ll be to a Manchester club.

£40m and we get Jones for free should sort it.

Much as I would hate to lose that wonderful view of the moors from the JHU, and for it to not be on the tv to remind the world of our beautiful location, a second tier on the BLS makes sense. It's the right place for extra corporates.

The price doesn't really matter to us as fans. (It will to the board of course.) It's what they are prepared to spend, once they buy the club. Agreed, so unless a fan has shares, it's best for fans that the investors pay as little as possible for the Club, so they have more to reinvest in the team ...

What the heck as something that happened 12 years ago when a teenager played against us got to do with now?

summitclaret

He is perfect for the footballer in a back 3. 5' 11" and reads the game really well. Played there for England under 21's before.

summitclaret

After tonight's performance he must not be pushed out wide. I see a 352 system with him, Ash and Dwight advanced, a new right wing back and Cork right side of a back 3, as an attractive system. Just imagine Tripps in that system and we keep Tarks. Pope Cork Tarks Mee Tripps Josh Westy Dwight Taylor ...

McNeil is going to be a brilliant cm player.

Would think Erik in cm. Can't see Dwight in a cm 2. Gutted not to see Tarks at least on the bench.

Not really, it’s the type of company that is potentially taking over that gives me the worries and that’s out in the open so worthy of comment.

Taken from sky sports SULLIVAN ‘DEPRESSED’ BY WEST HAM TRANSFERS David Sullivan has defended West Ham's lack of transfer activity after all but ruling out a renewed move for James Tarkowski. Burnley have turned down two bids for centre-half Tarkowski, who turns 28 in November, and the cash-strapped...

He hardly leaves the centre circle so it does not matter.

I actually think if Tark stays we arent desperate for a CB. Mee back in training so Dunne/Long are backups. It's very rare the 4th choice will be needed. Happy with DS given the uncertainty over future budgets. However, we do need a young right side cb now to bring on because if Tarks does not go n...

You have to really feel for both Brady and JBG to both get injured in the first 2 games

Of course, but the timing has probably finally forced Garlick into action. Every cloud and all that.

Sadly, both were odds on to get injured soon anyway, so better now than after the window shuts.

In the prem he's got 1 goal and just 5 assists in 99 games, plus he can't get in the Brighton team anymore.....I can hear the barrel being scrapped from here. He is a sitting defensive cm player.

They are going to be disappointed at being used as a bargaining tool when he goes to Leicester then.
