Is Zaroury injured

[paulatky]

If so does anyone know the nature of his injury

[boatshed bill]

He is not injured

[paulatky]

He is not injured

So why not even in the squad

[ClaretTony]

Not injured and VK said we now have players of equal ability to him

Yet offered him a contract extension a few months ago. Can’t be good for moral having so many players unable to make the match day squad

Also not gonna see appreciation on ‘assets’ as our players are now being referred to if they’re not playing.

[Murger]

VK must know he’s boo boo’d with all these wingers.

Part of a 25 man squad. The days of the first 11 are over.

A 25 man squad leaves you with 3 goal keepers, two for each position then a mix of two utility players or extra backup in two positions

Look at any squad in the PL and they are far better balanced than ours is. That is just facts - it was illuminated pre-season as a concern and now it is a concern.

Sure hope he's not talking about the likes of Ramsey

[StayingDown4Ever]

Zaroury and Benson were being touted as £40m+ players by some on here last season.

Now they struggle to get into the match day squad. Either all these new lads are worth 50m each or some people were talking pony.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Has this been reported that Zaroury isn’t injured? If so I’m baffled by what’s going on with the squad selections .

[BurnleyFC]

Not injured and VK said we now have players of equal ability to him

Bonkers and frankly, rubbish.

[Devils_Advocate]

Is Zaroury any better than Koleosho, Tresor, Odebert and Brun Larsen? Its very close and debateable but post World Cup Zarory had a pretty quiet second half to the season and we've seen the size of the step up when players like Beyer, Cullen, Brownhill and Roberts are struggling. Cullen looked like a Rolls Royce last season but looks more like a second had Ford in the Premier League so not sure players like Zaroury and Benson would look any better

Zaroury is a young lad and has all the potential to step up and make it to the top but I reckon Kompany felt we hit the Premier League a season too early for some players so hes gonna give them the space and time to develop rather than chucking them in at the deep end.

When Zaroury gets his chance the pressure will be off and I think at some stage he will turn 2 or 3 games our way that just might be the difference

[arise_sir_charge]

I’ve been told he’s got Covid.

[alwaysaclaret]

Seems to have become a vydra type of the dyche era

I suggested Zaroury should go on loan during the window and you said 'Maniac comment' . Here you are now acting like you weren't on the Zaroury bandwagon.

How you can even use the word pony on here after Fosters embarrassed you this season I do not know!

To play devils advocate are koleosho, Tresor Odebert and Brun Larsen any better than Zaroury and Benson.

We seem to have spent a £100m on 14 players but have we improved the quality of the starting 11

[summitclaret]

Think we are now seeing the downside the last transfer window being unbalanced. There is obvious exciting potential e.g Luka, Wilfred, Aaron, particularly the first 2. However, we needed a better blend in terms of youth v experience, defence v attack. We also lack physicality. Currently we seem to have too many for the future and not enough for the present.

We have spent a fortune in BFC terms recently, but still have areas for improvement, particularly both full backs, a dominant cb and a Barton type in cm.

With a bit of tweaking I think we can just about stay up. That for me includes selective use of Cork.

Its left back, right back and centre back where I think our business has been poor as I think the attacking signings look good and the fact they are keeping Zaroury and Benson out shows we have improved (just the step up to Prem League is greater)

I think the issue is more we have Charlie Taylor and Brownhill stating and looks like Roberts and Al Dakhil havent been improved on.

Ive mentioned before but Dean Smith took Villa up with a group of loan players so virtually had to rebuild the team in the summer and invested in a lot of young talent who would improve. They survived the first season by the skin of their teeth but the second season those young players looked the real deal and they came 11th.

Kompany is trying to set us up to grow and flourish rather than just try to survive each season and as a result this season is goona be tough but if we come 17th or higher this year then as long as VK stays we'll be more like a 10th-14th team going forward which for a club like Burnley would be unbelievable

[Granny WeatherWax]

We simply have too many midfielders, our summer transfer window looks more bizarre everyday.

[FCBurnley]

I believe we would have done better in the Prem with last years team plus say Foster Berge Amdouni and Larsen

It was a maniac comment. Zaroury should be in the squad. He’s better than most of what was brought in over the summer. I just think all those saying that he was worth £40m+ were ridiculous.

Foster has embarrassed nobody except himself when he got sent off at Forest for his petulant behaviour.

Part of a 25 man squad. The days of the first 11 are over.

Our squad isn't 25 though, it's 31 in total. Yesterday, Trafford, Al-Dakhil, Koleosho and Odobert all played and none of them are in the 25.

Exactly
And that doesn't include the guys out on loan
Come the end of the season we will have to do a lot of pruning if we get relegated

[Granny WeatherWax]

How do you know your best team?
How do you get consistency?
How do you keep everyone happy?

Way too many players. But then in certain areas we haven’t got the right quality.

[Bullabill]

Wilfred? Luka?

[bodge]

Unlikely he's got Covid, he was watching the game yesterday from the Director's box, next to Benson.

[Woodleyclaret]

He should have been selected and played yesterday along with Benny
Odobert faded in the second half and we had no body to bring on

[Big Vinny K]

I wanted Zaroury in the team too or at least on the bench.
Benson is injured.
When you say we had nobody on the bench to replace a winger please tell me you are not being serious.
We have enough wingers to replace those wingers that replace the starting wingers !

Did you not notice we brought on 2 wide men yesterday ?

[taio]

One thing we aren't short of is wingers - generally or specifically yesterday

You can never have too many wingers.

I know him, he wasn't available yesterday, but like the club, I won't say why

My sisters brothers pet tarantula told me that he told Kompany he is a see you next Tuesday and that’s why he is not getting in the team, don’t tell anyone though

No it's not those
I take you don't believe.... Sad really
I could give you his apartment number off Oldham road Manchester, or his mums name, or the restaurant we last ate in.... But I won't, not on here anyway and I've no interest in speaking to you anyway else, just ignore me, and I'll do same with you

OK, then he's part of a 31 man squad.

[Nori1958]

Obviously unaware of what ignore means

Not everyone lives in a bubble where you only meet people around you, where you live, some people have jobs that bring them into contact with other walks of life... Hard to grasp?

Some people know other people who introduce them to others... Still hard to grasp?

I play golf with a relation, a close one, of an ex burnley player who has introduced me to other players...... Still struggling?

In this case a relation is an agent... Who represents players.... Surely you're getting it now?

Check some previous posts of mine regarding players, training days, lifestyles etc if it bothers you that much.... But as I said to you last week... Check facts, stop following others like a lame sheep

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Fortunately iam several thousand miles away so won't be bothering me

[Nori1958]

And?

God... Its knock on wood at times, I know we hate the dingles link.... But some people make them look like university graduates at times

I explained that last week...... If you really think I'd make up a story about my dad's death, then you are lower than any word I could come up with, without getting banned... Just do one ffs...... Oh... And actually think for yourself for once

Completely deranged.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Get on WhatsApp and tell Tom we need him back ASAP we are desperate

[Carwin261]

I think Pace et al has got Kompany playing shop windows football ,showcase as many as you can then if we go down they’ll be a few going for decent money.

[Nori1958]

Get on WhatsApp and tell Tom we need him back ASAP we are desperate

Don't need WhatsApp

We don't need him back

Answer my previous question?

[Nori1958]

Completely deranged.

I agree.... Ksrclaret is looking a bit that way
