i hope the deal is already done as i think his value will already go up after we in the u21 final Highly unlikely he will sign before the final as he has other priorities until after the final whistle blows. But I guess you mean the fee agreed with City… but they can always change that until he sig...

I 100% back what is happening, but lets not beat around the bush here, we'd be laughing ourselves silly if another promoted club spent that amount of money on a keeper with no premier league experience and at that age I seem to remember Middlesbrough fans laughing when we bought Pope. Not sure fans...

I can’t help but feel this could be a humble pie thread for the future. Until VK says he isn’t in our plans he is a Burnley player who is likely to start or be on the bench most matches. What he would be like in VKs system is anyone’s guess and no amount of trotting out goals in Prem stats make any ...

What evidence?

I think he was using guesstimated transfer fee as his estimate… but I think age would mean he wasn’t the highest.

It is a shame WW has been on international duty. I think VK will choose to quickly integrate him or ship him out but right now he hasn’t even trained with the other lads. Still is possibly the ideal candidate for VKs system but mentally I can see that being impossible. If we had never had him in a D...

I believe Southampton have told Nathan Tella he can leave.

For free? Surely anyone CAN leave if the bid is high enough.

andyh

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but Pep is going mad on playing 3-4 Centre Halves just not in a back 3. It gives additional cover at set pieces and steel to the midfield. Maybe Vinny is copying his mentor.

Been told Lawrence Vigouroux has joined. Bit underwhelming as the first signing since the window opened. I assume he will be third keeper.

Pure assumption here but if it is true that they are buying him, then I would guess that means we are not really in for Gyokeres as surely he would have been used as a makeweight. One we can probably cross off the striker list. I’m not sure we ever saw him as a realistic target. Not good enough to ...

I would be happy for him but also a bit dissapointed as he is a real talent. He would , under Dyche have been a regular sub for either Tarlks or Ben but I just don't think he is a VK player. Could see Charlie T moving on as well this summer. Agree with both points. So long as we make a profit on Mc...

If you get a loan player like Diallo for example and his performances help keep you in the league then raising value for his parent club is worth it, having clauses like we had for Beyer is the perfect scenario but id imagine if we didn’t have a clause for Beyer he would of been 20mil this summer I...

andyh

I’m not really that interested in loans unless we have an option to buy. Feels like we end up raising the value of a player we then can’t afford to buy ( I’m looking at you Ian and Nathan). Better to take a risk on an undervalued player from Europe… also there is no pressure to keep playing them to ...

I love how some fans have the ability to read VKs mind. Can I learn to do this please? How do you go about it?

Harsh! I’m not sure he was saying anything more than the obvious. All managers want their summer signings in early so they can adapt and be fully integrated.

Burnley are planning to look at Arsenal’s Nigerian midfield starlet Joel Ideho after he was released. Ideho was rated a top prospect but had an injury-hit season and was eventually surprisingly allowed to leave at the end of his contract. The Clarets are keen to have Ideho for their under-21 side a...

I think the money is almost irrelevant. We are playing a game of moneyball. A keeper who is already at the 15m mark and is interesting Utd and Chelsea but wants a year in the Prem to show he is a no 1 is the sort of banker that this approach targets. It is almost certain we can double our money with...

andyh

Well if we land anyone that is a target for Utd,Liverpool and Chelsea then I will start believing Kompany is the second coming.

Last time I was there a very young David Nugent was tearing us a new one. I came away wishing we would step in and buy him. Little did I know he would eventually play for us about 10 years too late.

Never been a huge Anthony Taylor fan but he had the best match by a ref I’ve seen since Collina retired.

Hope they do it

And I won't lie, the annoyance of United/Liverpool fans about it play a large part in that

Same.

Also I always want English teams to do well in Europe… with the exception of Liverpool who don’t identify as English in any case.

I think that there are a number of possible reasons why his career numbers haven’t matched his Prem Numbers. Only one of which is he isn’t very good. He has something about him but his confidence is through the floor. He may be able to come through. There have been games for us and Utd where he has ...

andyh

I wish we could just leave him alone until we know what his future is. Too many entrenched positions which might mean VK can’t resurrect his Burnley career even if he wants to.

Ten Haag finds a use for him. So it isn’t inconceivable that VK could want the same.

Corals 250/1 for City to be relegated !!!!!!!!!! lol - surely some zero's missing in that price

I guess the chances are higher due to the FFP hanging over them. Small chance that they could be relegated as punishment. There is surely no chance of them being relegated in any normal way.

I always want the big teams first before they settle and the promoted teams last when they have had some stuffing knocked out of them.

andyh

They could well be in trouble. They need to do the same as we did. Let’s see just how easy they find it. I think they could really struggle.

andyh

I went for Huddersfield. Possibly not the best but for me the most important as it showed we’d played a blinder getting Vinny in.

andyh

Confident of top 10 but if I had to pick a particular position I’d go 7th. Having said that we literally could finish anywhere. So many players who did so well last season but completely untested in the Prem League. My optimism is based as much on Kompany and Pace as it is on our players.

andyh

I always assumed we would fail. Loved the buildup as it was my first visit to new Wembley. Loved that we were competitive. Then we scored and for the first time I felt we could win. I became a bag of nerves and kept thinking it would be Spurs mark 2 having been so close a few weeks before. I simply ...

A fair indicator of which club is "bigger" is the fact we lent them a player.

As we did with United… oh I see your point.

Leighton James and Frank Casper would be my votes

I will be backing us to do well. I think winning it is probably a waste but all others look tempting…
We are an unknown. So few of our players have played in the Prem. As such we could well crash and burn or fly majestically. Who knows. A bookies nightmare.

Twine will do well in the Prem next season.

I’d love to see how SD and the Burnley lads do in the Championship so for today only I’m cheering on Leeds. Not really possible to lose as Leeds being relegated is 90% as funny.

I keep saying this… it is salaries not transfer fees that I think are the limiting factor. Buy a you £20m player and you have a £20m asset. You can always sell it if times get hard. As we have proved. You’ve not lost anything. Salaries affect the profits more directly. You can’t get them back.

andyh

Muric is excellent. Full stop. Will be sold for twice what Pope was. If you want to play as we do it is more important to be a ball player than an amazing shot stopper. Just rewatch the Coty game to see how it doesn’t work without a sweeper keeper. It is why the likes of Hart and Pope will never be ...

Have I missed a real link with him or is this just a bit of wishful thinking from some fans? May well be the best fit for a striker in the Championship but we’ve not been fishing in that pool.

I liked Wood, but saying his first touch wasn’t great is being kind. Quite possibly the worst first touch of any Burnley player over the last 10 years. Unless it was a shot.

Surely Andre ran him close!
