Happy we have signed a promising YOUNGER midfielder, IMO the squad is stronger with Brownhill effectively replacing Drinkwater. I am concerned about our apparent lack of funds, and painfully slow progress at rebuilding a tired and ageing squad. As things stand, we should have enough to survive another season but the next window is vital - multiple changes required.

Fu&k all that sees us a few points off Europe and on 30 points in January.

If a player ticks all the boxes, like Phillips the money will be there but if a player doesn’t we won’t go for them, like Bowen.
You mean like last Summer. Give over.

With the stream of negative noises coming out of the club this month, I didn't think we'd be signing anybody. So to have brought in Josh Brownhill on a good bit of business is pleasing and is more than I expected.

This summer will have to be busier because we've got at least 5 players on their way out. Interesting times ahead.

Right back and striker the two priorities in the summer.

A creative winger should be on the list too.

We had to sell Wells to fund the Brownhill signing. With nearly 4 transfer windows of doing **** all, that can't be right.
Like I have been saying the board want dyche to get rid of his deadwood signings before releasing more money and who can blame them - far too much money wasted for a club who supposedly are run right

See link for out of contract players. Out of those, I'd expect Westwood to stay and the others to move on.

In addition, players like Vydra and Gibson will surely be on the move too.

The same wells who at times was on the qpr bench? A reasonable 30 year old championship striker. Nice bloke but great business to get shut for what we got back and his help in the Brownhill deal. Hart has a contract so not that easy and probably his wage demands that have stopped any suitors. He’ll obviously be off in the summer when his contracts up.

I think it's debatable, certainly not guaranteed.

SD having to raise funds is frankly a joke, something is very wrong here.

Should have got rid of Hart to free the money up, bpf is more than a able deputy for this level, Wells will come good even at PL level as a sub, wells value will stabilise or increase, harts will nosedive.
Hart is under contract and nobody came in for him.
How would he have got rid of him?

Wells is 30. His value is unlikely to go up and we needed Brownhill more.

If course I know what a squad is - but the stubborn bugger does not use that squad hence that's why we need a major clear out - massive massive summer needed but can't see it happening

He picks his best 11 this obsession with playing squad players is bizarre. I’d say Dyche is doing ok with his current formula.

Because our players room has 26 million sat in it and most times not even on the bench - get your head around that for a bit and think about it and then go and have another think about wages - that is why the board correctly are not releasing anymore money

So why spend all his budget on 2 players who have had 3 starts between them in 18 months - go on think about it

I'd agree with that. Getting in three new players sounds realistic too going off past transfer windows. Dyche never seems to want to bring in lots of new signings in a transfer window.

But we may also need to get replacements for Tarkowski and Pope if we get offers we can't refuse.

And if we had cheap squad players I’m sure you’d be at the front of the queue applauding the clubs policy.

We never ever say anything other than we have no money. Why juice up selling clubs so they can fleece us? If Dyche would have said we had x to spend on 1st January we wouldn’t have signed Brownhill because he would have been a lot more expensive.

The winter window is for nothing more than emergencies and panics and is dying a death.

How do you think the board meetings with dyche goes - well we gave you 26 million plus wages with not much in return plus other's who are not up to scratch - how much more would you like.
Been far too many poor signings these last couple of years.

Increasingly Very little of any significance happens in January. There’s some absolute dross bought and sold (at inflated prices and wages) by some panicky sides like villa, West Ham and the whole window can be summed up by united getting Idahlo (sp).
Come the end of the Summer window: "Increasingly Very little of any significance happens in Summer. There’s some absolute dross bought and sold (at inflated prices and wages) by some panicky sides like villa, West Ham and Brighton. Trust the board."

Throw back Friday

Can anyone remember the two seasons when Mee was crocked towards the end of the season and Long filled in?

The bitching and moaning that we had a crap squad and no quality to step in etc. was deafening.

So we signed Gibson. Cue the bitching and moaning that it’s a waste of money, splinters in his arse etc....

Gibson’s missed quite a few opportunities by being injured and having niggles. Like FA cup v Norwich and when Mee was struggling for form.

You are right he does pick his best 11 - problem is that best 11 have not really been upgraded for 2 seasons.

But continue to do the job required. He’s just upgraded his midfield options. We have an England keeper and centre half. A left back who must be on the verge of a call up. A striker who has hit double figures yet again. An absolute talent on the left wing etc etc.

Good signing made...giving him time to settle and hopefully be up to speed for next seson.

Not concerned on any other incomings. Would like to see us shed 5 players in the summer and possibly promote 2 or 3 from the U23s. Will cut down on wages and mean we can sign players for the 1st team on a lil more while still keeping the books balanced.

Yes, we get it. Garlick's a disaster, Dyche is incompetent, and the club has never been so badly served by its directors and manager. So why don't you perhaps go and support someone more successful - there are a dozen clubs that fit your criteria - Accrington, Blackburn, Preston, Blackpool, Fleetwood, Morecambe, Salford, Fylde, even Man Utd or Man City if that's how it takes you. Because I can promise you that if you look at BFC now and see nothing but gloom and disaster, then you will never, never, never be satisfied with anything the club does or achieves.

Are you the one starting the chant of "Teasdale In"? :roll:

Agree. This window would be scrapped if it wasn’t for sky. No real business done across all four divisions.
Man united have, I guess it's hardly surprising when a mob turn up at the CEs House & start to be menacing, if I was him I think I would have done the same, keep the family safe.

Hart is under contract and nobody came in for him.
How would he have got rid of him?

Wells is 30. His value is unlikely to go up and we needed Brownhill more.
True, you've got a point, says it all really when you can't offload & stuck with somebody who's eating away at the wages.

Mike Garlick said it, think it was published or was in a interview, and I'm sure he doesn't tell lies.

And I dont think we would take a massive 20m gamble, its extremely un Burnley like.


On a side note I think SD is talking BS
I don't see how Dyche can by talking BS, if that was the case then surely we wouldn't have needed the Wells deal to sign Brownhill because we saved 20m not signing a midfielder in summer.

Garlick isn't stupid, the club have made smoke and mirrors bids for players before. It allows them to tell the fans they tried, but couldn't afford it.

The majority of which are loan deals. Even the sky presenters and guests look like they are starting to get bored commenting on rumours they have probably made up themselves.

4 or 5 players don't keep you up
No thankfully the squad we have are managing to do that.

As long as you've got a letter of sincere intent suggesting the deal is ongoing some permanent transfers & loanings will be waiting to be ratified, the paperwork is delayed that's all, it wasn't that quiet.

Just to update a previous post, I now see our 'back-up' team as:

Hart
Lowton Long Gibson Pieters
Hendrick Brownhill Brownhill Brady
Vydra Rodriguez

Lowton, Hendrick, Brownhill and Rodriguez are imo closest to a first eleven start.

So, we now have reasonable/acceptable cover for each position of our 4-4-2 formation which is a much better situation than we were in 7 days ago.

He’s, already, twice the player he was when we signed him.

As you might be able to tell with the negative/positive balance sheet Vs assets I am no businessman :D I would be the first to recognise this. Just seems to be that we concentrate a lot on a positive balance sheet but not really concerned on the value of assets growing. Surely there is a middle ground which sees profits drop slightly and value of assets increase? I am by no means trying to slag the club off, it just seems like something we are not doing currently.
Hi again, no worries that you haven't got experience of accounting. I "get" what you are saying - it's just that in accounting terms it just doesn't work like that: if profit drops there are only 3 things that can cause that to happen: 1) costs have gone up; 2) revenue has gone down or "3) value of assets have fallen. In "big company, fair value accounting procedures" assets can (and should be) revalued at every balance sheet date, if the value of the asset goes up, then the profit goes up (assuming that (1) and (2) remained the same). In football (and small businesses) the rules don't allow revaluation of assets, except when the new value has been realised in by a sale - so, if we take Nick Pope as an example, (and, I forget what we signed Nick for, the end of the season we won the Championship) as an accounting asset Nick is valued at £ = very little (was his first contract 3 seasons or 4?) - but in transfer market value, an England squad keeper is obviously worth much more.

Let's take Tom Heaton as another example: signed on free, so balance sheet value can only be £nil. Then Tom (with the club's coaching etc) improved to be England keeper, so market value goes up - but balance sheet value doesn't change.Then Tom got injured and didn't play again for the season. What do you think his value would have been if he didn't recover from the injury? But, Tom did recover - and played great second half of last season - so, his transfer value went back up - and, again, this change in value doesn't show up in the accounts. Finally, Burnley sold Tom to Villa - and we made a profit on the sale of £8m - because we sold for £8m and balance sheet "net asset" showed £nil. Following Tom's transfer to Villa he would be on their b/s valued at £8m...which would be amortised based on length of his contract.... and then Tom is injured again...

I'm pretty sure we aim to improve all our players. If we buy from Championship we are always intending that they can perform at Premier League level. Of course, it doesn't always work out, Nahki Wells being a case in point, Matej Vydra, to date, has probably worked out the same. I don't know about Ben Gibson, maybe Ben still has the opportunity to work out.

Of course, when the club buys experienced players with a lot of Premier League appearances behind them, it's likely that we aren't thinking we will buy for £X and sell for £X+. More likely, the club needs their experience and transfer fee plus wages works out - and they are part of a squad that will keep us in the Premier League another season and more....

James Tarkowski, great example, of buying and improving, Charles Taylor is another and Josh Brownhill has the chance to do the same...

Kieran Trippier is an example of the challenge: signed from City and the club improved him, but contract was running down and we could only get him to sign another contract with a modest release clause. I'd expect that Tripps would have signed for a higher release clause if we had offered higher wages. Let's assume that the club's finances didn't allow this. So Tripps had one more great season with us, proved what he could do and Spurs triggered his release clause and he was gone.

At the same time, Danny Ings, declined to sign a new contract, and left us (only) with the tribunal money (eventually....).

Both Tripps and Ings have done well after leaving Burnley - and they left to get higher wages. The "profit and loss and balance sheet" challenge for the club is, as we all know, that there are a number of bigger clubs who will pay higher wages and higher transfer fees, when required. The thing is, if we tried to match for a few players we'd only have the money to put out a "Premier League" 5-a-side team - we wouldn't have the 11+7+squad that we need to keep in the Premier League....

If Brentford’s scouting is so fantastic then why are the results of said scouting so much poorer? We have been extremely successful in the transfer market and on the pitch for a number of years.

Another point to note, Brentford play in the Championship where it is far easier to ‘blood’ raw talent. You don’t see many Premier League sides bringing in a number of unproven players to develop because the price of failure is so high.
Because there scouting is so good they cant keep hold of those players, hence it affects their results. Dan James, Neil Maupay and there are many more. I agree we have, and that's the important word...should be we are.!!
