I don’t really get this idea that we are setting up for promotion in a couple of years time though. Our current advantage over the rest of the division is the quality of the retained squad from last season, and parachute payments. When both of those disappear, why would we have any better chance of...

Obviously gone as soon as he didn’t come back in for pre-season. Great talent but file under Weghorst, didn’t want to be here move on with people who want to play for Burnley Football Club.

It's the cost of doing business, yo.

I think this is a good deal all round. Some decent profit considering he only made 20 apps for us, we would've taken that 12 months ago

If he stayed we got more for him January or in the next summers transfer window it would've been a real blow for us on the field.

claptrappers_union

I don't think we have sold the quality of players to get us promoted this time. Not that I'm begin pessimistic, but we are starting the foundations to get promoted maybe in two years time.

This isn’t football. Norway are ****

claptrappers_union

Thats a shame, but be a difficult decision for him. I hope he continues in the game though

claptrappers_union

We went on a decent run and performances picked up. I wonder what would’ve happened if he didn’t leave and worked with Kilby.

claptrappers_union

Not surprised at Willoughby being his number 2, obviously the bookies favourite, I'm gutted for Gordon the Gopher though.

claptrappers_union

Seems a personal decision for this World Cup prospects if van Gaal has a strict policy on representing clubs at the highest level. Only time will tel though if he comes back to represent us in the Championship next season, if we don't don't get promoted.

He didn't throw it down the tunnel. Underneath the scoreboard is an empty area that is part of the stand but is not used and was empty and that is where he threw it. It’s not empty, I’ve worked there. There are people in that area during the game. It’s a tunnel that the away team used during Covid ...

claptrappers_union

No he didnt, he threw into an area under the scoreboard which is cordoned off and empty. Im not defending his actions but if we are going to criticise him lets be factual and not just exaggerate it to suit our own argument. Had Richarlison threw the smoke bomb into the crowd then I have no doubt he...

For ages I was trying to convince my friend to come and watch a Burnley game, he finally did circa 1999/00 and we sat through sideways rain experiencing the dullest 0-0 you’ll ever see. It was against Luton Town.

Weird how you memory plays tricks - turns out we actually lost that game 0-2.

Spending £200k on Graham Alexander was madness

claptrappers_union

Blimey, he looked about 77 when he was at Burnley, that said, that was through the eyes of a 10-year-old me at the time. Having a quick look at his Wiki page, which I appreciate won't be fully detailed, it seems like his stayed in the game for some time after leaving Burnley mainly doing scouting ro...

I saw the Hazard link on Twitter, but it originated from a bogus profile with about 20 followers. The same profile said we were looking at signing Memphis Depay.

Is there ever a young player moving from a top premier league academy who isn’t highly rated? Luke Chadwick, John O’Kane, Neil Wood, Paul Mahon etc etc, all highly rated. The truth is, the highly rated ones tend to demand a significant fee…… I'm on this side of the fence with the two City lads. Onl...

claptrappers_union

He signed a contract and gave his all throughout the duration of the contract. I'll never understand why fans take it so personally when players move on.

claptrappers_union

Maybe he was just stepping in to help out or something… really odd that they’ve not announced it. The VK appointment took long enough, no announcement of backroom team, cancelled friendlies. The new signings are papering over the cracks because it’s that what most fans are interested in… but somethi...

Clearly Hanks is a top actor and has been in a number of iconic films. But don't you find that he plays the same part in about 80% of his films? He's the stoic, humble, American hero. I think you're always safe with a Tom Hanks film, he puts in a brilliant performance every time - theres no denying...

Apart from a few of movies, such as The Departed, Limitless and The Joker... De Nero's movies over the last 20 years have been turd in my opinion. He's done much more garbage than good films overall. He is brilliant in the good films though.

So whats happened at Burnley which means we had to cancel the match?

claptrappers_union

Sad news. I didn't know him personally, but I sat near him at many away games. True character and Claret and Blue through and through. Was it him who used bellow the battle cry over the visiting keeper's goal-kicks in the 1990's?

I think there's a player there but consensus amongst Watford fans seems to be that his attitude was atrocious. Interesting, because I think he's had a decent game when I've seen him play against us. Id imagine he's on big wages though, hence why he's been released early, but he attitude could be a ...

Apologies if already posted but I see that Josh King has been released by Watford, I think he'll be a decent signing, possibly bring a bit of experience and quality to the squad

Lady Victoria Harvey has just had a hissy fit on Piers Morgan's show on Talk TV, using the 'F' word before the watershed.

I always thought Patterson’s contract cancellation was a mutual thing. But reading his quotes, it’s far from it.

Shame footballers are not that open and honest in the press these days though.

I don’t understand why we don’t have more GP’s? It’s impossible to see one at the moment

Collins is contacted to Burnley for another 3 years (I think) so we don’t need to sell him, unless the bid is astronomical.

claptrappers_union

That looks like his party trick, to bring the ball from deep, but he probably can’t pass or cross the ball which is a concern considering he is stepping up a division as well.

in other news : Leeds, Newcastle, Marseille and Lyon are all interested in signing Ben Brereton Diaz from Blackburn. The striker scored 22 goals in the Championship last season. I’ve spoken about Diaz to a few season ticket holders at Blackburn and they’ve all pretty much said he’s not a actually t...

Maybe Heath knew he was out of his depth. Always seemed a short sighted decision, but he'd probably be on more money at Everton without the stress, that said, they nearly got relegated that season I think

It wasn’t as ‘full’ as what we used in the Premier League, I seem to remember it being quite basic compared to when we had it fully installed. My memory plays tricks now. I might be getting muddled up on when we started using it.

Anyway, I hope it doesn’t come to the Championship.

Whilst we all expect Cornet to go as I say he could be a late mover as he may not be top of transfers target lists. He may well be teams third or fourth options. I dunno, with his goal ratio in the Premier League and the quality of goals he scored £17.5m is very reasonable price, I think he’ll be g...
