It's a shame we haven't been able to see Taylor in action in these preseason games so far, because it would have been interesting to see how he's been playing the left back role. When we were linked with Coulibaly, many posters wondered if he may start at left back and hold his position in a back th...

Meet up with as many fellow Clarets as you can Mick on that Villa game.

What a tonic going on the Turf is for the mind, win lose or draw. There isn’t anything else like it.

Take care.

God forbid me raising a point of discussion on a football message board eh

And people are discussing it with you.

Clearly there is more work to be done in the window than some would have us believe.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we have to leave a few out of the named squad come September, if we can’t move them on.

Not convinced Townsend is the answe

Me neither. I hope his stint with us is purely about giving him an opportunity to get fit.

Redmond does everything Townsend would offer, and a lot more besides.

How many more players can we fit in? Excluding U-21’s

...

I think that only leaves a LB and a CM if we don’t include McNally

Well I suppose Townsend would be that third attack-minded player I talked about if he signed. I'd rather someone else, personally, but we'll have to see on that one.

ksrclaret

The team sheet today also included McNally and Costelloe, neither of whom will be making any appearances for us.

Definitely two players short (LB and CM) at a minimum, but ideally we'd get another attack-minded player in as well.

ksrclaret

Always entertaining when Lowbank gets involved after a few shandies.

Perhaps you can elucidate on such a crass comment?

Perhaps you could elucidate on what the asking price for Tella is?

You’re awfully good at complaining at the moment about the shirt, the signings etc - now’s your chance to back it up.

We refuse to pay what I consider to be a fair asking price for Tella and are left with cheaper that cheap options such as a spent Townsend and the lumbering Weghorst. I struggle to be optimistic.

What's the asking price and how were you able to obtain this information?

We've not signed Townsend.

ksrclaret

Won't happen on the Turf.

Some fans just showing him what they think of him in a nothing game.

ksrclaret

I always think having a few stinkers in preseason is largely a good thing as there's no hiding place for the short-comings in the squad. VK and CB will be all over whatever is lacking, even it's only fitness and sharpness. I suspect we still need some reinforcements though, particularly on the left ...

ksrclaret

Only natural to worry about missing players. Not all of us are privy to the goings on and rely on the team sheet to find out who is present.

ksrclaret

That looks like a really nice move for BPF. Gets to experience a new country and lifestyle, play some European games, and play under a manager he knows.

Best of luck to him. I’ll keep a look out for their results.

ksrclaret

Totally agree. The club ought to hand their heads in shame for putting that rubbish out. I'm genuinely surprised we've managed to recruit anybody. I bet Kompany has had a few players back out at the last minute when they saw the size of the collar they'd be made to wear on match days. No wonder we l...

ksrclaret

Come on guys, we know how this works now, Maatsen will be one of five or six equally viable left back targets. Gomez is probably another, Manning was clearly one, and there'll be a few names we've never been linked with yet. We certainly won't be waiting right up until the last few days of the windo...

ksrclaret

BBC running the story of Redmond now.

Looks like, fingers crossed, we could have Trafford, Redmond, and Amdouni sewn up by the end of the week.

That would be brilliant and leaves us needing a left back and defensive mid before the end of the window as the real priority areas.

ksrclaret

I am not sure I have suggested he’s a bad signing. I just find him a bit of a strange one. Can’t see him fitting in this style of football or offer what we want from our wide players. If it frees up money for a top centre mid then fair enough. Strange signing/ bad signing. Whatever. It amounts to t...

ksrclaret

I could understand it if he was going to be a bench player. However it’s likely he will have to play a substantial amount of time with Bensons injury record Good. A very experienced PL campaigner. I'm sure you've got some stats up your sleeve that will paint him as the worst winger since Jean Louis...

I’d be very happy with Redmond on a free transfer.

Makes sense on a number of levels. What’s not to like?

ksrclaret

The money at this level is absolutely obscene and outrageous and the headlines numbers worry me a lot, I'm with you Steve. My cautious nature would be more comfortable with us in the Championship paying lowish wages, but this is a club that wants to go places under AP and VK and I'm thoroughly enjoy...

Without wanting to sound dramatic I could honestly see us conceding 6 or 7 with that team against city. There’s next to no physicality in that team. And that physicality is what I had hoped we'd have brought into the building by now with all these links to Lokonga, Vranckx, Flemming etc but nothing...

Nixon tweeted that Burnley are looking to sign footballers with two arms, two legs, and a pair of b0llocks.

When asked who he might be referring to, he blocked the other user and called them a fud.

All in a day's work for the rotund recluse.

ksrclaret

Watching a game from a distance whilst you’re walking the dog doesn’t make you in the know. You reported facts about the games recently - however, everything else you’ve said is utter tripe. And some of those “facts” have turned out to be utter tripe as well. He said Ekdal didn’t get on, only for a...

ksrclaret

Ekdal is looking much leaner in that picture, I think. Hope he's getting a really good preseason because, like others, I feel he could be a key player for us.

ksrclaret

No point getting angry about it, we can’t change it, but that doesn’t stop it being ridiculously frustrating that their inability to fulfil a fixture will make our start less than ideal.

We must hold the record for the number of medicals planned that never translate into signings if you go by the postings on this board.

There seems to be a few pencilled in every day of the week at the moment.

ksrclaret

Good on him for speaking about it and I hope he's in a better place for the moment. The move to a new country to play in a highly demanding system can't have been easy for him. There have been some really poor comments on this board about Lyle Foster (one poster said he'd seen enough after 10 minute...

Then why are you commenting if it makes no difference what the kit looks like to you? Some of us care what it looks like and care about the image of the club. This is a thread about the new kit, expect comments and opinions about it!! Because I’m seeing comments like “greedy short sighted managemen...

Some absolutely nuts comments and complaining.

It’s a kit. It’s claret and blue. It’ll be worn by the players on match day. Nothing more to it.

Wants him or wants to assess him? Or it could just be a negotiating ploy, like us being linked to other left backs. I have a hunch that IM will be here in August. The story yesterday said he won’t let him leave in the summer window, but I hope you’re right. Id take the other young lad Hall though i...

I think Hamer and Manning are good players. Would be happy with both but looks as though we've missed out on Manning now (or maybe we have another left back in mind and have willingly let him go elsewhere).

He did the very opposite of this for us. Criticise his goal output, for sure. But his link up play was/is very good.

I was never convinced by it, personally.

I'd rather not have that Dutch ironing board cluttering up our play, but if VK thinks he can do a job I'll put my trust in him to work his biggest miracle yet.

I do think WW is going to be great if he stays… I also think he wasn’t to blame for the way he was brought into the club and then left.

Okay so you don't rate Roberts as a footballer (daft but you're entitled to your opinion), but what evidence do you have that Roberts is a "plank"?

ksrclaret

If we’re sticking with the same system as last year then Roberts will be the one that starts at RB and rightly so. He made that role his own after the WC and excelled at stepping in and out of midfield as required. O’Shea played mostly at CB for West Brom and wouldn’t be suitable for that. If, thoug...

As ever the vehemence of opinions on here masks the fact that several of the opposing views can be held at once.

It would help soften the opinions if people could take some responsibility for how their words could be interpreted.
