and I would agree with all that entirely but that wasn't my argument !

My guess?

One year Jones deal

Vydra leaves

Two younger players leave on loan. Deadline done.

Well at least Jones signing would prove the point many of us have been making i.e. that we need 4 specialists for cm. It would of course be an epic fail.

If Jones comes back then that is a laughable signing, we really needed to show some ambition this window, Jay Rod is good but a year late and were woefully short in midfield, get the lad in from Leeds for gods sake

Possibly for an emergency recall? What’s £2.5m with what we have stashed.

Well it kind of is your argument if you are saying that you think we should change the way we recruit our transfers. Whereas i’m saying that despite what we think as fans the manager and the board seem to have got it correct in the past...when lots of other clubs have tried variations of what some of our fans seem to be calling for now and it’s gone badly wrong for them.

But us mere mortals who know nothing about football questioned the signings of Walters /wells / vydra /crouch/ and to a lesser extent gibson

Calm your skin till 5 pm tomorrow then go f'kin radge if it worse than it is now or worse than it was at the end of last season. I will support you till the hilt if that is the case. If it's not go and have a pint and look forward to Saturday. Don't get drawn into all this pointless shoite. It make you look a tw@

Heard a rumour which sounds the most believable yet... that we won't be signing anybody today or tomorrow.

So you've never questioned any of the signings that have worked out, only the ones who haven't?

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:33 pm**

We look forward to 5pm and then sit and wait another 2 hours to see if any deal sheets have been submitted.

One of the good thing about being a top fifty club in the world is that you buy players that don't work out.

But hell I am sure that we bought more that didn't work out when we were in the lower leagues.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:39 pm**

I get that we have tight budgets for the playing squad and I get that we'd rather bank £30,000,000 a year than increase those budgets. What I don't get is how a club with our resources and status still seem unable to find players good enough for our first team that want to play Premier League football for £30k a week anywhere on planet Earth. Stoke and West Brom excepted.

BOYSIE31 wrote:But us mere mortals who know nothing about football questioned the signings of Walters /wells / vydra /crouch/ and to a lesser extent gibson

But surely you would have also questioned the signings of Arfield who couldn’t get a game for Huddersfield or Heaton who had just shipped a shed load of goals for Bristol City...or Jones who had been released by Blackburn or maybe Barnes who was on the bench for Brighton....etc etc

I’m not really sure of your point to be honest.
It’s fine to disagree with individual signings but it’s the overall strategy that counts - and we had a lot more signings that have worked out than those that haven’t or else we wouldn’t be where we are and at the same time consistently making great profits on many of our transfers

Vydra won't be leaving. Wells out with Drinkwater in on loan. Then 5pm it's done thankfully

I think that's called a fact. Despite what CT might say, our recruitment team is rubbish and has been for years.

Probably because those players won't be any better than the ones we already have.

Maybe CT can just pin the three to the top of the board then there’s no need for people to post the same sh1te in January.

And you still don't get it. Better ideally but as good as or the potential to be so will do when we are down 1 in cm will do if it has to.

DONE DEAL...?!

Burnley are now as short as 1/6 to sign Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater.

There are no players anywhere in the world that will play for £30k a week in the Premier League that will improve our first team. Well, it's certainly a tough market.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 10:12 pm**

Feel a bit sorry for Vydra tbh if he ends up stuck with us for at least another 6 months. Been treated pretty shabbily by Dyche it has to be said.

So Hendrick & Westwood who were both excellent for large parts of last season need replacing?

You really are purely on the wind-up, aren't you?

1/6 just means that the majority of betting money is going on Burnley. It doesn't mean someone haas insider knowledge.

I'm not saying we should change the way we do our transfers as that is up to the club, I'm just sick of hearing them say the market is difficult - it's always going to be difficult if they restrict themselves to shopping in 2 divisions !!!

I would never want us to go out and sign 5 players from abroad in one transfer window, that's suicidal !!! But singing Pepe 2 years ago for 15 million was a no brainer and yet nobody did. Lots of very very good young players playing in some of the foreign leagues but also some duff ones - that's when your scouting has to be on point

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 10:22 pm**

Just popped onto this thread to see the news and found all this in-fighting and so on. Calm down everyone, and just get ready for supporting the lads on Saturday.

I'm not coming onto this thread again! I just want to continue to be a happy Burnley supporter.

our recruitment for the most part has been more than decent, doesn't mean that's the level we all should accept (generic we, us and the club etc) - go watch the interview by Erik Pieters, he hasn't come for a relegation battle, if all our players show his determination we will have a very good season I feel

I'm well aware of that.

Just copied it straight from twitter because the account had one of those blue ticky things which means it's very very important.

Linked with a move here. If true and if motivated could be a decent move for next couple of seasons.
