He'll probably be partnering Lindelof mostly.

Phil Jones and Smalling are on the fade.Both are poor and i increasingly making costly errors.
Thats why United needed a new or even two cbs.Ironically, they could have resigned Keano at the time Everton stepped in and saved £50m

FB saying Leicester have offered £20 million plus add ons for Tarks. Have I missed this one. Surely it's a wind up.

Probably as much as a wind up as our hilarious double bid for Dawson and Rodriguez a few windows ago.

I'm expecting SD to let Tarks go cheap and not replace him. A lot of his success is down to his relationship with the players and doing right by them. I believe if Tarks wants to go, then SD would see it as being fair to let him go, even if the price is only £20 million. We would just say it is an undisclosed fee.

That's absolute bobbins. Why would Dyche want to let one of his biggest assets go on the cheap when he knows money is tight here?

The only grounds for deserving relegation are the grounds of not getting enough points. If we finished top half, would you boo them off they didn't sign who you told them to?

I hate these windows. It's just an opportunity for the people who think Dyche is incompetent, to spout their weird beliefs.

It would seem you have two options then, if you don't like seeing opinions which differ from yours.

a.) you could decide not to view this board, or just certain threads, during the transfer window

or

b.) you could add posters who you think will give an opinion that differs to yours to your 'foe' list.

If you do that, it should mean that debates can continue with people putting forward their thoughts and others having the opportunity to challenge them. Much like what happens on a fans forum, incidentally.

Right, it's sunk in. And I've thought of two things.

1. We aren't currently being outspent by Wigan. Unless they've seriously overpaid for Crusty the Pie.
2. :roll:

It's not that I don't like seeing these opinions about Sean Dyche and his general incompetence over many years. It's that I don't like people having them. (Though obviously people can believe anything right up to the earth being flat if they want to.) It is beyond my belief to think that so many posts on this thread share the same theme - that Dyche doesn't know what he is doing. Where do they expect Burnley to be in the League hierarchy? How do they think we have got there?

So instead of putting people on ignore, what I do is put forward my thoughts and others have the opportunity to challenge them. Much like what happens on a fans forum, incidentally.

It's just you expressed hatred towards the transfer window. If it gets you that worked up, maybe you should take my advice mate. It's only football, after all.

I just think doing right by the players is the most important way he has of maintaining player Unity. They trust in him and he trusts in them. Perhaps it won't be £20 million but it will surely be a lot less than £50 million.

We've let players go before on a free that we could have sold for this reason, for example George Boyd and Dean Marney.

I'd have thought Garlick might have something to say about letting him go for, potentially, half of his value.

I have not problem with SD. The constraints he works under don't appear to be reasonable. It's not weird to have 4 fit capable central midfielders. It's classic happy clapper to think we can make do again with 3 AGAIN.

If this £50m escape clause is real, then Tarkowski wouldn't have a moral leg to stand on if he wants to leave for less. He agreed the figure when he signed the contract (last year?) so it stands.

It's one thing that the players trust him; but there are ways of getting that trust without letting them walk all over him. "Firm but fair" is how I see Dyche, and that's how he gets the respect even of arrogant players like Barton. Not be being spineless.

It’s just ridiculous that we insist on having a minimum of four goalkeepers (first team alone) yet are constantly under resourced in central midfield.

That position, in particular, we never have any strength in depth whatsoever. If we don’t plug it this summer I will be really disappointed and concerned.

It's classic happy clapper to think that Dyche knows what he's doing. It's classic unhappy booboy (if that's the opposite) to think that Dyche is OK but how much better he would be if he would listen to his advice.

We all know by now that Dyche would rather sign nobody than sign someone he doesn't want; and the list of players he doesn't want is long. As Maria von Trapp almost said, you can't ask Sean Dyche to be less than what he is. If he had signed a few more unwanted players, would we be doing better than we are?

There was one year we had strength in depth in central midfield - we came 7th!!

Is that the best you can come up with ? Do you really think the best manager we have had since Potts thinks we can make do with 3 in cm, especially after that approach has relegated us once and almost did again last season. I don't. We must have at least £70m in the bank before the new Sky money.

That's true. I've just checked the squad list and we had four central midfield players to call on - Cork, Hendrick, Defour, and Westwood. Though Defour was injured for almost half the season.

So now you're saying that Dyche has told the board of directors who he wants and the board won't pay? I don't believe that either. I reckon Dyche has a lot more power at this club than you think.
