But it’s not, As there’s more money in the game when the next crop come through it’ll start looking better, girls will pick football first over other sports etc. Is that a good thing? Maybe, time will tell. So the best 11 from Germany vs the best 11 from Spain cannot currently be classed as top lev...

I’ve yet to see a convincing argument as to why it’s a top level of sport.

If you enjoy it great - just don’t pretend like we’re witnessing greatness

But it is a top-level female sport.
Plenty are enjoying it for what it is.

One thing I find odd is that so many "English" people can't just enjoy an English team doing well in any sport.

I really wouldn't know BB never took an interest in his career,always believed he was a squad player with not much going for him...he was useless at Leeds

Fair enough.

Apparently he's the most expensive Irish transfer of all time!

Still not enough for some on here though

That is not taking inflation into account.
We all know Jimmy Mac was the record for an Irishman.

Quite simply BPF is not good enough...so I'll go Hennessey then, we have been spoilt with Heaton & Pope ....Farrell isn't half of what they where for us. I think Hennessey will go as soon as we sign Muric. (or other target) I also think we should try to ship out Norris. As for BPF, looks like he ne...

Couple of people on here saying there is nothing to suggest he wanted to go.

I my be simplifying matters a little, bit signing a 6 year contract for another club 100 miles away, makes me think he wasn’t exactly chaining himself to the railings at Barnfield.

Very nicely put.

Is Hennessey staying?

I thought about the possibility of others leaving, so:

BPF
Egan, Bellis, McNally, Dodgson,
Cork, Cullen, Bastien,
Twine, Rodriguez, McNeil

And what are you basing this assertion on Steve? It’s strange then how he seemed to be linked with us every season and it appeared Dyche wanted him very much. He is indeed a shadow of the footballer he was when Dyche first courted him but if your missus is better than him she would be on the BBC no...

boatshed bill

Good player was Hendrick, was the European season when he played in the 10 for large parts? We never really replaced him despite an attempt with Brownhill, don't think Dyche really ever trusted Brownhill or believed in him, same with Mike Jackson when Brownhill was the first player dropped for his ...

If we had rated Collins we should have sold Tarkowski.

Well we were certainly better off with Hendrick than Stephens. That Bournemouth goal was one of my favourites I’ve witnessed at Turf Moor.

The one against Everton wasn't bad either.

So you expect us to sign another central defender, a more proven ready to go one? I assume those 3 CBs were signed to replace Collins.

We will have to wait and see.
I'm not convinced we won't use the money well.

boatshed bill

Replace them with adequate experience and quality. If you're selling Collins for £30m, we've replaced him with a loan, a freebie kid and a young kid from League One for £1.75m. I don't mind the signings, there has to be some of these funds reinvested on proper ready to go quality though and those p...

So you only watch football at the very highest level?

I don't think that's the issue though. The issue isn't players leaving - although like Dan, I'm a bit surprised by the price we got for Pope, or that we don't appear to have tried harder to keep Mee. The issue isn't per se bringing in players who have the best of their careers ahead of them and can...

boatshed bill

I tend to share some of Dande's concerns. I'm not necesssarily against Collins going and for his age and what he's achieved, £20m + doesn't seem a terrible deal for me. Spice, I think we need to accept that the players who have left (or will leave) are doing so because they do not want to play in t...

The mere fact that the England ladies are up by 6 goals at half time shows how amateur it is.

This is not good for the sport - it is absolutely miles away from what people think it is

That is rather dependent on what people think it is.

not our tape, BB, besides at the least the lad is doing something. All our training videos seem to show is our lot trotting around the side of the pitch. BTW I'd love to see the McNeil equivalent of this - you know, the two-footed thing with the poles I totally agree about the old videos. In fact a...

boatshed bill

I really don't know why they put out these training videos.
I'm guessing that these routines are used at most pro clubs, and that all outfield players are capable.

Anyone else seen this one?

Newcastle United have been offered Watford and Nigeria forward Emmanuel Dennis, 24, along with Burnley's 25-year-old Ivory Coast winger Maxwell Cornet. (Chronicle Live)

Think you'll find much of our fanbase thought 10m was a low offer for Nick Pope with 2 years on his deal. (1 year + option)

30 is nothing for a goalkeeper, he could have 8 or 9 years left yet.

Perhaps that was the only offer we received.

When was the last time a club changed its first eleven by at least five players from the previous season and went on to do well? Can't think of any. Very worrying. There may be exceptions, and even Crystal Palace did ok. But generally it tends not to end well at all. This is brilliant question in a...

I didn’t watch the video, which was clearly about Wales, expecting to be convinced about him staying at Burnley.

I think when players say "we'll see what happens", or similar, it suggests they are looking elsewhere.

Say what you want about The previous owners and Dyche but the one thing that stood out to me on that video is we have a truly top class set up.

Makes your proud to be a Burnley fan. That’s the legacy Dyche and co have left behind

Well you don't really need one if all you do is either stick it just under the crossbar (corners) or lob it towards the penalty area and try to win the 2nd ball (free kicks).
The only surprise is how often it worked.
