I don't know why people are complaining. None of these players are bad players, they've all been good for us. Plus, if they do leave, we'll get a better fee for them.

Steddyman

Dyche has explained this many times in interviews. We have our list of targets and people we feel can improve us, quite often teams won't let them go without replacements, unless its for a silly fee (Which we will never pay). That means were left waiting until the so called 'domino' reaction happen...

Steddyman

It's a great story. I've always thought short selling should be illegal. It was a big part of the last financial crash in 2009 and was banned in the UK for a few years because of it.

Steddyman

Lol. I just love these type of threads.

Cork and Vyds both made a big difference when they came on to give Wood more space and service.

@SportsPeteO: “From what I’m hearing this one has a real chance.”

Reports linking Josh King to Burnley are starting to gather serious momentum.

Expect a bid for him of 50p any moment.

Steddyman

Ahh, the Mike Garlick playbook is still in operation on transfers then, that has served us so well over the past 3 years.

Make a lower derisory bid for less than half the amount, then a day before the window closes, up it to also include a packet of crisps and a penny bubbly.

Steddyman

The pitch is bloody awful. Only suitable for non league.

Steddyman

I like the line that says Arsenal would need to find the money, but Burnley already have the funds available.

Steddyman

He may be fast, skillfull and can score goals, but how does he get back and defend. That's all Dyche will measure his value on

Armstrong reminds me of Danny Ings very quick feet

Yes, he does me too. Looks a real talent. Have we been linked with him?

Steddyman

Really all depends on what SD thinks. I doubt any of us wanted Crouch but SD has a soft spot for him and valued having him around. With Deeney there is a mutual respect- so I hate to say it, but it could happen, I sense Gray has blotted his copy book, in more ways than one, however SD might be thin...

It may have something to do with the fact he’s an excellent player, who would now cost you double that to sign him.

Had we signed him for £22m I would imagine there would be plenty of forum users claiming this was the buy of the century.

Had we signed him, Sean wouldn't have played him.

I'd rather see him replace Barnes or Wood personally and keep Vyds, just depends if Vyds does indeed want out.

Time to move Ashley on. King would be an upgrade.

Steddyman

Stay indoors, stay safe, look after yourself and your family. Football can wait.

Steddyman

Dyche's post match interview he said it was a good performance by Burnley. When quizzed about his strikers he said we had strong strikers and all the stats backed that up!

Can you provide some proof of this? Where did Pace say there are no funds available? Sounds ridiculous if true

They didn't say that. They were just speculating on the negativity Sean has been spouting about having to make the best of what they have. They haven't spoken to the Chairman.

Steddyman

He also said we had strong forwards and the stats more than backed that up. 5 shots on goals in 3 games.

Steddyman

Just to show how easy it is to screw up in the transfer market, Islam Slimani has left Leicester City after 4 and a half seasons on a free transfer to Lyon. He made 15 EPL starts and scored 8 goals, a couple against us if I remember rightly. Slimani cost £29 million in 2016 after banging in 48 goal...

Steddyman

I think the reason we haven’t signed anyone yet, is that Alan Pace reads this board.

Any every name that gets put forward, somebody always has a reason for why he is crap and wouldn’t suit Burnley.

Steddyman

His distribution including his kicking was excellent. Far better than Pope’s.

Steddyman

A lot believe he is also Satoshi, having been the creator of PayPal and having both the experience and brains to do it.

That would make him an additional $40 billion richer.

If ALK appointed them, ALK will have paid them. That's how it works.

Steddyman

both will sound great to many now but are unlikely to stand the test of time it is also clear that the club is an asset that is to be "sweated" a lot more In which specific part of the interview did he state the club were an asset to be sweated, or implied that?

What he said was true, many billionairs will use finance for business ventures rather than cash out of their own pocket. These guys have plenty of ...

Steddyman

A very good interview and nothing in it rang alarm bells for me. He addressed the finance by saying even if they were billionaires they wouldn’t necessarily have used their own money for investment. The reason being, this isn’t a pet project on which they need a return on their money, it is a busine...

Realistic ambitions from me:

1. American hotdogs with French's american mustard
2. Cheerleaders
3. Goal Music return

That would be fun. Hope it ends more like the Leeds one (2nd season) than the Sunderland one.

Steddyman

This is the area I’m most intrigued about and had hoped to learn more from the interview. Michael Dell is clearly involved in some capacity, but more so who are the others and what can they offer? Jerry Jones was mentioned further up the thread, along with Dave Checketts. I know nothing about Ameri...

That was always going to happen. I think you will find he’s retaining some of his shares to enable him to do so. Interesting. I wonder who elses shares they are buying to get to 84%. MG and JB alone don't make that much, and if they are holding onto a shareholding, then somebody else must be ponyin...

I really don't understand the sudden concern that ALK are borrowing money.

ALK are a Capital Investment company. They were never going to use their own money for the investment.

New article in The Atheltic titled 'New owners are imminent at Burnley and they can't come soon enough': It has been more than 14 months in the making but it appears there is about to be white smoke before Burnley’s takeover.

How much are people expecting us to spend in January, now that this looks like going through?

I feel some are going to have that anti climax feeling.

Compared to the last 3 years, it would be impossible for it to be anti-climatic, unless we signed nobody at all.

Fingers crossed for the first proper transfer windows in the last 3 years.

They’ve let us down completely in the last 3 transfer windows.

I am sorry but he is NOT WRONG - he's partly correct although I think he's wrong on the other bid.

I guess we will know this week who is wrong. No need for shouting, let's keep it civil.
