Depends on understanding logic. And besides - we don't generally sign up and coming stars because they go to, as I tried to state, clubs like Chelsea and the like.claretdj wrote:By your logic we cant sign any young players then?
Absolutely, Walts could still tear it up. Particularly if we get Lenno and Defour(o) fit and firing on all cylinders. Any chance of a short term contract for Walts ? Would be great to have his experience in and around the dressing room, lending a hand to the younger lads from Stoke like Bards and Eric.ClaretTony wrote:Walters would have been a cracking signing but for the injury he picked up, Bardsley has been terrific.
Crouch, not for me, but was no more than short term deal.
More than happy with Pieters who is younger than all those and is an experienced Premier League player.

That’s what happens when you let someone with no football knowledge sign the playersClaretAndJew wrote:No its just that ever since the Cort transfer they've felt guilty ever since.

Laws??Same bloke who brought in Guerrero & Nimani and others apparently before Laws was here.randomclaret2 wrote:Bit harsh on Laws Tony ( insert smiley as required )
Given how long it was until he was fit after we signed him one of those people must have been Dyche knowing we wouldn't pick up any injuries in the first half of the season.FactualFrank wrote:Regarding Wells, we had a few people on here who knew we wouldn't have any injuries and so Wells was a pointless signing.
Half of the players they've signed were ones they had on loan last season. They're keeping that team together with the signings.Tricky Trevor wrote:Doing a Fulham. Instead of improving a decent team they are decimating it. No team spirit and half of them won’t gel.

Not just me pal speak to any other premier league teams supporters and we don't get a good write upTVC15 wrote:If you read our accounts and understood them then you’d see that we can afford it yes. We don’t buy players in the knowledge they may get injured or won’t be good enough to break into the first team etc.
Feel free to name me any team in the Premier League who has not made expensive transfers that have not gone as well as they hoped....and whilst you are trying to find one tell me the teams who over the past 5 years have made less expensive mistakes than Burnley.
Seriously you are living in cloud cuckoo land - you don’t like Dyche or his football or his transfers or the fact that he is pretty much solely responsible for making our club financially stable for many years to come.
You think his football is awful to watch forgetting the great football we played to get 2 promotions and the great football we played at other times - especially the season before last.
Seriously i’d suggest you follow a different club if you think it can get better than the last 6 years.

I wasn't sure what happened to the one we had after he went back to Ecuador. He's 30 now and playing for a team in Ecuador called Emelec.
Is this the same manager who over the last few years has secured the future of this club for the foreseeable future?jojomk1 wrote:Another signing that shows our manager is looking to find young talent (only 30) and nurture the future for this club
I bet he blocked you reallySwizzlestick wrote:Actually ended up unfollowing him. Doesn’t know half as much as he thinks (did he know anything about this Pieters deal?) and was mind-numbing about the Bolton ownership debacle. Also thinks he’s a bit of a twitter celeb - reviewing people’s accas?!

You guys realise that Boden probably does hear about transfers well before he posts them, but is given the information under confidence. If he betrays that confidence, then he will no longer be told anything from the club again.Longtimeclaret wrote:Simple answer is NO
He has to be the most clueless journo on the planet. The really surprising thing however , is he doesn’t realise it

That was the point I made though. Pietersen isnt better than Taylor, so why waste money him as a back upTVC15 wrote:Because his contract was up, and he spent most of last year injured. Ward wanted to leave and we wanted him to leave - he’s been brilliant but his time is up.
Why would we buy a player to take Taylor’s place when he had such a brilliant season ?
If we buy players who might go straight into the first team it’s in other positions we need them - not left back.
And there was Lindegaard until very recently.ksrclaret wrote:If we do sign Erik Pieters, I'm sure everyone will be happy to know that we will then have 2 players whose wives 'star' on the Real Housewives of Cheshire.
That arguments fine when you are comfortable in the league. It was fine the first year we stayed up, as the squad was definitely weak. We are in a position now, where we have to improve the starting XI. If you stand still at this level, you get overtaken.ClaretTony wrote:Simple - Ward wanted to go for family reasons.
We need a left back. Now we could go for a first choice or a back up for Taylor who is good enough to step in when required. So I’ve absolutely no problem with this deal.
It’s not always about improving the team, it’s about improving the squad. We are doing just that.
He's no Carl Bernstein or Bob Woodward, that's for sure (ask your dad)........more Louis Theroux where everything happens all around him!ksrclaret wrote:A little off topic, but has anyone ever come across a more useless local journalist than Chris Boden?
Never has the first clue about what's going on until another journalist tweets something. He should have been all over a deal like that.
