All listed are either signings directly for for the first team or players signed for the u23s for a substantial fee

[wilks_bfc]

Other than Kightly & Keane (who was initially a loan) his loan signings have had a somewhat underwhelming impact

[Stevie Morgan]

Overall that is an impressive record. Should have backed him more.

Which players on your list were signed for the u23s for a substantial fee?

You've got Noble listed, short term contract on a free to play for the dev squad in 2013.

[matttheclaret]

Ashley Barnes missing from your list

[kentonclaret]

Of the 11 signings since 2018/19 four players are no longer with Burnley (Drinkwater,Gibson,Hart,Crouch) two are back-up keepers (Peacock-Farrell,Norris) and Dale Stephens is not a first choice midfielder.

Illustrates why we are short in some key outfield areas perhaps.

[KellyClaret]

Ashley Barnes missing from your list

Added thanks

Noble was included because he made a first team appearance in his brief stint. Maybe I should add Joel Mumbongo too.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

That first window was brilliant looking back

[HB Claret]

Ever decreasing circles lol

[ksrclaret]

I’m surprised we’ve still got a club to support looking at this list. Some are very expensive, right up until the money ran out.

[ClaretTony]

He did. Came on in stoppage time against Yeovil.

[DomBFC1882]

Some shocking signings on that list who either cost a lot in wages or never got a proper chance

[Dyched]

Overall that is an impressive record. Should have backed him more.

We did and got with Gibson and Vydra.

[MrTopTier]

Thanks for that list Kellyclaret.

What is interesting to note is that since 2018/19 although many of the players listed have made significant contributions,, with the exception of Brownhill none of those listed hold down a regular first team position.

I'm not sure if you're on a wind up or serious..

[DomBFC1882]

I'm not sure if you're on a wind up or serious..

You don't think some of them signings were bad taking game time or wages into consideration? Seriously? Paying 40k, 50k a week to warm the bench isn't exactly good business for a club like ours. Not to mention players like Wells who were signed for decent money who never played

[DomBFC1882]

I'm not sure if you're on a wind up or serious..

Some very good signings too for balance

[Devils_Advocate]

Mods: Can we remove this thread please. We know Alan Pace reads this messageboard and summer is only round the corner where we will want him to give Dyche some of his children's inheritance to bolster the squad

[claretandy]

16/17 and 17/18 we're exciting windows.

Hart - had a chance and it didn't work out.
Lennon - mainly miss, like I originally predicted, but he was given a chance.
Gibson - odd how Mee was continually picked despite losing form, but Gibson ended up burning his own bridges.
Wells - we did alright out of selling him tbh


Who else have I missed?

Jelle Vossem
Rouwen Henning
Peter Crouch
Jonathan Walters
Marvin Sordell

[JimmyRobbo]

That is a phenomenal % success rate.

Not many managers make so few 'mistakes'.

Football happens that players sometimes just don't work out. (Gibson, etc). Overall, a very impressive recruitment record.

[Devils_Advocate]

Jelle Vossem
Rouwen Henning
Peter Crouch
Jonathan Walters
Marvin Sordell

Im not having Jonathan Walters in that list. Had he not been unlucky with injuries he'd have likely gone on to be one of Burnley's all time greats alongside the likes of Jimmy McIlroy, Ralph Coates, Trevor Steven and Paul Comstive

fantastic as always DA

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Jelle Vossem
Rouwen Henning
Peter Crouch
Jonathan Walters
Marvin Sordell

Henning - just unlucky to be here when our other options were bang on form

Jelle - transfered out very quickly, we only lost wages, I'm still convinced we were used as a stepping stone to get to his preferred club.

Crouch - signed as a stop gap, after Vokes left who we got a wedge of cash for, remember?

Walters - for a player who was rarely injured prior to signing we just got unlucky.

Sordell - has retired due to mental health issues, so he'd been in decline footballing wise for ages.
Apparently he's happier now he's out and good luck to him.

Anything else?

[Stevie Morgan]

We did and got with Gibson and Vydra.

Gibson was a good signing who didn't work out, yet we'll still make a lot of our money back if Norwich are promoted.

Vydra has been good back up, many would like him to have played more.

[cockneyclaret]

Vossen - couldn't believe that signing, absolute shite player

[beddie]

2015/16 for me.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Other than Kightly & Keane (who was initially a loan) his loan signings have had a somewhat underwhelming impact

That hasn’t held us back though he’s always rightly prioritised the group.

So you're saying he's never made a bad signing? I find that astonishing tbh considering every manager makes a bad signing here and there.

Also what are you exactly arguing against? I've said some are terrible signings but there are some great signings too so I'm really not sure what your issue is

[claretonthecoast1882]

That hasn’t held us back though he’s always rightly prioritised the group.

It is almost like he has used the loan market to borrow players as cover should they be needed and used players who are his and will be here long term. Amazing how long Dyche has been here and some aren't able to understand how he works.

Still reading the transfer thread the stupids are all out today, it's like a full moon.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Yes he's made signings, I personally think Lennon was a bad one for example.
I got some real aggro for that before we signed him too.

Most of the signings you're saying are bad can be broken down, examined and disproved though.
The problem is you're not interested in that, it's all about whinging for you.

Jesus Dom have you not tired yourself out yet ?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I don't think he has tired himself out, I'm going back to work, it's more productive than this

Nonsense. Just because you can make an excuse here and there or some players doesn't make it not a bad signing.

Also you have no idea what im interested in but thank you for pretending you do

[DomBFC1882]

Jesus Dom have you not tired yourself out yet ?

Tired of what? Talking football on a football forum?

I think I'm good

If what you are doing in your eyes is talking, think it is only right you give the forum fair warning when you are moaning

[ksrclaret]

Some real belting lads on that list. Proper dressing room-bants lads. How people can claim any single one of those has been a bad signing is beyond me. Give your heads a wobble x

[DomBFC1882]

You don't know from me Adam.

You're a tetchy lot just because I think some of the signings listed were poor. Nothing more nothing less.

It's a thread about past signings, it's not like I've put it on any random thread.

Not tetchy in the slightest, but looking back with hindsight over signings that didn't work out is a bit childish and boring. Makes more sense to me to judge a manager on where the club is when he joined, where we are when he leaves and is the squad better.

If you can answer the last 2 parts with yes, then you learnt o live with the mistakes. It is like the transfer thread, you have accepted that we won't be signing anybody days ago, so why still complain about it today when you have accepted it.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Nonsense. Just because you can make an excuse here and there or some players doesn't make it not a bad signing.

Also you have no idea what im interested in but thank you for pretending you do

So looking at the bigger picture and being subjective isn't of interest to you, good to know.

OK, you're not interested in whinging, at all, in the slightest, without looking at the bigger picture for each transfer before making your comments which have made me chuckle.

I'm sure every football fan in the country look back and talk about past signings and which were failures and huge successes so I'm not sure your point. Its a football forum is this not loose women.

And of course the majority of his signings have been a great success, you only have to see the squad now to see that.

Regarding the transfer thread, just because I've accepted it doesn't mean I should give up hope does it. I know nothing regarding the club bar being a fan so just because I don't think there'll be signings doesn't mean there won't be.

Okay so according to your theory, no manager ever has made a bad signing as they may offer at least something like your reasons stated

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Whatever you want to go with.

Managers make bad signings, I'm not saying they don't.

However some signings, you need to look at other reasons.
