Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
Clearly mixed from the speculation thread but it is a small fee apparently and we've got an experienced international full back to compete with Charlie Taylor. More than good enough for me.Vegas Claret wrote:happy with this, sensible signing

Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
This seems like a good signing, do we know how 'small' the fee was? Seems like a good bit of business for a player who is an international for a very good national team (Holland are hardly Luxembourg are they?).

I was going to ask if you knew of any fee, likely minimal as you suggest so a no brainer.

Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
Sensible signing on the face of it. We have an experienced, but younger reserve left back who knows much of the squad already.
However, Dyche does need to start looking outside the box. He is constantly being labelled as a bit of a Pulis or Allerdyce outside of the club. In reality its a bit unfair. But he has effectively bought a left sided Bardsley. And that won't do Dyches image any good.
As a back up though looks a good signing. But our first 11 signings definitely need to be a bit more exciting!

Makes good sense -swap deal for Ward for a younger model
He's Dutch which will suit the internationalists - while also still sounding British (like a pub landlord) to suit the homegrowners

Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
Happy with this
Minimal Fee
Only 30 (no age for a full back )
170 premier league appearances
3 years younger than our previous back up left back
18 or so international caps
Knows the league
No need to up route the family
Stoke fans rated him
If it means more cash available to strengthen the key areas we need, I'm all for it.

As the salaries have increased and injuries are being treated faster and successfully more players, especially defenders, are stretching careers.

Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
That seems ridiculously cheap at todays prices, is he still playing for Holland? 1m for a Dutch international, if still current, is a steal. Just been looking online and the Stoke fans don't seem too happy overall. General opinion is of a good club player who always gives 100%. One or two critical (as with all fans) but the concensus is that they have lost one of their better players.ClaretTony wrote:Suggestions from the Stoke end that it is £1 million
One wit made me chuckle though saying he spends too much time waving to his wife in the stands. I can just imagine him doing that at our place and missing the ball, he would be missing both his if Dyche got hold of him after.

Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
At some point we're going to have to start bringing the age of our squad down, instead of keeping patting ourselves on the back for signing all these 30 year olds.

Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
So you would suggest persuading who else exactly to come in as our back-up LB? Or are you suggesting demoting Taylor to back up and spending circa 15m on a new 1st choice LB?jrgbfc wrote:At some point we're going to have to start bringing the age of our squad down, instead of keeping patting ourselves on the back for signing all these 30 year olds.
I think this deal works just fine
Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
Didnt he have a bad injury ? Maybe on the wrong player. If fit he sounds ok to me. Jay Rod soon to follow from what I read on FB

JRod is 3 months older than Vokes - sack the board!!Tall Paul wrote:We've replaced a 33 year old with a 30 year old, that seems like we've brought the age of the squad down to me.
But eight years younger than Crouch.....!
So that's a net 11 year squad age drop from the end of the season

Completely fine signing as backup.
But after McNeil we have no other first team player under 25. Jay is only going to add to our squad of 30+ years players.

How many outfield players in our usual starting 11 are over 30? I make it none in fact Cork is the only one to have reached 30 so far I think. Doesn't sound too bad when you say it like that does it?cricketfieldclarets wrote:Have to agree with this.

Welcome to TM Erik. Decent signing IMO.
Re: ARTICLE: Pieters signs as Burnley go shopping at Stoke again
Or by the end of this season more than half of our usual starting 11 would be over 30, which sounds less good.Goobs wrote:How many outfield players in our usual starting 11 are over 30?

If it is indeed £1million, its a great price and good business.
However, I hope he's sat on his arse all season, cos that'll
mean Charlie will be having a stormer.
(Unless he's used elsewhere on the field.)
