I was wondering how impressed posters were (on a scale of 1-10, obviously). :D
Definitely a 10. In fact I was blown away by the signing.

Not exactly a ground shaking signing though.

I'm glad we didn't need to remind you.

I know a Beaumont, but he's 47 and doesn't really like football. Still, as it edges towards the end of the window..

I want them to finish their transfers as soon as possible, so they stop taking the **** and going after whoever we are interested in.

They can't sign everybody.

I actually haven’t seen a proper link to Matty Cash. Seen Maehle and Adam Smith, and Bogle in previous windows.

There were a few on Twitter and I think the transfer man mentioned we were after him.

I just read a reply to that tweet...
Honestly think this board is going to get us relegated at some point, earlier than we expect, we’ve lost 4 first team players to contracts, we’ve had a lot of starters injured and we’ve hardly had a link with anything in it, we’ve got targets like Mæhle and Bogle waiting to move
How much crap can one person spout? We've finished 7th and 10th in the last three seasons and it's clear to a blind man on a galloping horse that this club is moving forward, in our own way. The sensible way.

Tough one to unpack for me that. The guy is complaining about us not signing Cash, whilst also mentioning two other players he wants for the same position. That being said Dyche has himself said he “can’t keep pulling rabbits out of the hat”. We do need to think about the right back position and I think we need a long term solution, both the current options are north of 30.

Links with Adam Smith a week or so ago suggest we’re getting down to options 4/5 on our list rather than 1, 2 or even 3.

Is that the official Dyche pecking order or list of nonsense by gossip mongers ?

Matty cash thread, tells you all you needed to know right there, probably not need to read the first page

Least BurnleyPaul knows about how we operate regards transfers.... and they were some surprising people agreeing with him

I'll get something wrong someday I'm sure, until then it's a Macca was right again situation.

I don't expect much action until early October, but are we really desperate for new players? We finished 10th and get JBG a run of games, and there's not really a major weakness anywhere.

I think we really do. “This team finished 7th” was the line two years ago - few injuries and no Dwight McNeil had us almost bottom and losing 5-1 at home to Everton with a 5 at the back. I don’t think we’d have survived without McNeil, an exceptional talent, stepping up from the academy.

2 crocked wingers for the most part, no evidence that they will suddenly remain fit and find form. We are a couple of injuries short of having the kids on the bench, Dyche was clearly annoyed with that situation 5 or 6 weeks ago - nothing has changed. We are 2-3 players short of where I feel we need to be.

7th and 10th are history, Frank. We are built on a solid defence and pinching a goal most games. Going into a season with Mee and Cork doubtful is worrying.
B’mouth were relegated because of injuries and with our squad the same could happen to us.
We have an excellent first X1 and decent cover but the cover needs an upgrade.

All fair points. I'm perhaps being a bit over the top optimistic. And I guess I'm thinking of no injuries, and our best 11.

Well said its all history and players do not get younger but older.

Our transfer policy over the last couple of years have left us in this situation where we have the oldest squad in the league and has not been addressed for too long now - this could be the season we struggle and drop

“Pinching a goal most games” ?
You might want to check the actual results from last season - thats just a daft thing to say.

As for 7th and 10th being “history” - what else are you supposed to go off ? The future ?

We will at some point get relegated - just like 90% plus of the teams ever to have played in the Premier League. No doubt you’ll be in the “told you so” brigade but let me save you the job and tell you now that it’s going to happen and you might aswell enjoy it whilst you can.

Not the oldest squad.

And we could lower the average age substantially just by giving squad numbers to more U18s and 23s.
What does it prove?

Think we were 3rd oldest on something I saw a few weeks ago.
SD has always had a experienced players in his teams - I’m not sure in the 8 years he had been here that the average age of our team has changed much.
2 promotions and however many years in arguably the strongest league in the world - not to mention generating upwards of half a billion revenue for the club, building a state of the art new training ground, and the club being able to more than double the number of people employs.

just think how well we would have done if SD had the first clue as to what he was doing !

Agreed. You can buy experienced players or you can plan for the future. There's no rulebook.

But buying a player who is 21 comes at a very very expensive price. There's a massive premium.

27 pages and still no nearer to a signing. I love Burnley I do :-)
5 signings already - what more do you want?

May be 5 signings, but are we likely to ever see them near the first team squad?

Do you usually list the u18/u23/development signings In the transfer post?
(Not a criticism, just don’t recall it previously)

What's all the whingeing about at this stage? The window doesn't close until October.

Always list the signings recognised by the Premier League as confirmed signings. Definitely wouldn't included u18s.

“Pinching a goal most games” ?
You might want to check the actual results from last season - thats just a daft thing to say.

As for 7th and 10th being “history” - what else are you supposed to go off ? The future ?
We only scored more than 1 in 11 of 38, vice versa we scored 1 or less in 27, so I’m quite happy to say we pinch a goal.
You can’t go off the future but you prepare for it. All three of our starting CBs are injured. Tarks is supposedly minor but nobody has a clue about Ben Mee or Kevin Long.
BTW I am as positive as most on here but I can see trouble ahead. I mentioned B’mouthks injuries earlier but I’ve lived long enough to see many decent sides relegated because of a run if injuries, this is what worries me.

The Premier Leagues top clubs are making a second concerted push to have the 5 substitutes rule implemented at Thursday's shareholder meeting with the smaller one's digging in against it. It is understood that some of the big clubs have attempted to lobby the smaller clubs over recent days to get the required vote swing. The smaller clubs would most definitely be at a competitive disadvantage should the 5 substitutes rule be implemented.

One goal is often enough, and that goal isn't necessarily "nicked".
I'm really proud of our defensive stats.
Unfortunately we haven't rotated the squad (perhaps we really are not strong enough to), so the gap between stand-ins and regulars is a bit too big.I guess injuries could derail us, but we've had bad starts with everyone fit.

I really don’t care about style of play. It isn’t artistic gymnastics. Results are all that matter game by game, and players should be selected on their cost vs their ability to contribute to results (and how long they can be expected to do that for).

What you are saying assumes that we did actually “pinch” a goal in those games which I’m assuming is to suit the point you are trying to make - ie that we were lucky lots of times.
Firstly a number of those games were draws - we drew 0-0 for example v Arsenal and 1-1 v Spurs at home and in both games we were excellent....there was no “pinching” of goals and we were unlucky in both not to win.
Then there are those games where we won 1-0 and fully deserved it.

The way we play is to soak up an element of pressure but try and restrict teams to getting to the bi-line. We are happy to defend set pieces or shots from the edge of the box because we are very good at that. Even in games where we have comfortably won by 2 or 3 we can have less possession than the opposition.

No team can consistently “pinch” goals as you are suggesting over a number of years and finish with 54 points twice.
