Good signing I think, feel more confident about our central midfield options this season.

We are looking at signing FC Metz Senegalese CB Sadibou Sane. Looks like there is competition from others though.

https://x.com/theburnleyway/status/1960 ... 35659?s=46

Metz were reported in January to be interested in Delcroix. I wonder if there could be a possible deal here...

NickBFC

It wasn't pretty, but job done and minutes in legs. Loum, Banel and Sonne my pick of the best. Glad to see Tresor grab an assist, looked quite sharp so here's hoping (again).

NickBFC

Despite the goal, actually think Sonne has had a pretty solid game. Well done Mike!

NickBFC

Haha get in

NickBFC

Tresor coming on!

NickBFC

Edwards' lack of effort is something special at times. Prime example just then, absolutely zero pressure on the Derby player.

NickBFC

Although Tchaouna was our best player, it makes sense to rest/protect him. Looks the only immediately likely player tonight to get a league start.

NickBFC

Banel and Barnes on for Tcha and Broja.

NickBFC

Tchaouna really unlucky not to score. A real live wire, liking what I see.

NickBFC

On a plus point, Tchaouna looks hungry and lively.

NickBFC

Flemming has to score that. Not impressed with several players so far. Very scrappy.

NickBFC

I don't see us moving stadium any time soon. I don't think the club could afford to do it for starters - probably looking at £100-150m in today's money. The CF and BL clearly need a lot of work, and ideally rebuilding - we can't keep kicking the can down the road. I mentioned on the CF thread, IF th...

NickBFC

Great result. Beer will taste sweet tonight.

NickBFC

Yeeeesssss

NickBFC

Sounds dubious according to Sky.

NickBFC

Get in

NickBFC

Ballard injured and going off.

NickBFC

Worrying. Need a good start, come on Burnley.

NickBFC

I wonder if it would have been feasible (IF) we could have purchased a small strip of land behind the CF stand to build a new back/roof as Liverpool and City have done whilst not having the shut the stand. Once finished we'd have a new roof, larger concourse below (giving room for larger changing ro...

NickBFC

A centre back, central midfielder and a clinical forward. Not easy.

Love a signing from Coventry do Sheff Utd.

Something the Blades have over us then

NickBFC

Really liking our more pragmatic approach this summer. A good blend of youth/resale value along with valuable PL experience thrown in with Walker/Dubravka.

Be great walk out music to stir up the fans, has an intimidating vibe to it and that's what we need...

Pigbag's a QPR favourite. Need something more original.

NickBFC

Morecambe may be the first of many: The spiralling cost of running a modern football club means that the days when a wealthy and sympathetic businessman can bail out/save his local club are over. Substantial outside investment is required and as many on here struggled to grasp (some still do) when ...

NickBFC

The keeper looks very inexperienced to be coming in as a number 1 in the Premier League. Barely played many games at an inferior level.

NickBFC

Great news.

NickBFC

Doesn't look good for them, at all. The beginning of the end sadly.

NickBFC

Can't help but feel the club are trying to polish a turd. The Bob Lord and Cricket Field need far more updating than a few shiny TV screens, flags and another add on. I guess it's better than nothing but seems again, we are kicking the can down the road.

NickBFC

I really liked Vitinho, but that ship's sailed and we need to be looking for better now. IMO.

NickBFC

It’s not as clear cut as that. Scott Parker said, after the games on Saturday, that he expects Trafford to go and that he will have a word with the owners as to whether we have any funds to buy a replacement. Or he's downplaying the fact we'll have taken a bumper fee and need a replacement keeper. ...

Wolfsburg have pulled out of the Sargent deal apparently

Seems as though no deal was agreed between the clubs. Norwich apparently asking 'well over' 20m euros.

NickBFC

I had a brief chat with Jimmy about 20 years ago when playing against his Bromsgrove Rovers side. Brought a smile when I told him I was a Claret after the game. Be nice to see him back at the Turf.

NickBFC

I wonder if tears were shed when he was told the news?

NickBFC

Koleosho back to Espanyol seems the obvious one given his past links there. I wouldn't be against sending him there on loan. I think it's probably unlikely he's going to see much action this season, and a loan spell would hopefully give him some consistent playing time. With a bit of luck he would c...

NickBFC

Paul Mahorn - witnessed his only goal for us at Wycombe, Steve Guinan - remember THAT miss? and Andy Kiwomya.
.

NickBFC

A good move for him, hopefully he can find regular football. Sounds like a good deal for us too, read 3m euros.

NickBFC

Uğurcan Çakır?

NickBFC

Wilson looked way over the hill last season from what I saw of him. A no thanks from me.

According to the betting it is level pegging between the ex Everton manager and the ex Sheffield Wednesday manager.

It seems it’s a Rohl of the Dyche as to who gets the job.

Are you Dutch?

NickBFC

Soucek would be a brilliant signing, and one I'd say absolutely no chance of happening!

NickBFC

I'm not sure about. We proved that being solid was more than enough to compete. We ambled to Christmas but we were comfortably in the top 6. Dyche would set them up to be hard to beat, just as Parker did with us. If they can hold onto one or two of their better players (Winks, Mavididi etc), they'd...

NickBFC

It could well be a slippery path for Leicester going forward. A tough gig for someone to get them back up this season I think.

NickBFC

Had a few injuries I think, but seems a sensible punt on a free. Definitely adds to the squad.

NickBFC

Sam Vokes and Michael Keane must be right up there in terms of transfer fee paid/received and their contributions for the club.

NickBFC

Disappointing but not surprised. The longer these things drag on the more likely it seemed he was off. Suspect the same will happen with Brownhill. Not ideal for us.

NickBFC

Àlex Moreno linked for around £6m, can't see us being keen at 32 years old now.

NickBFC

The difference is that Brownhill isn't a £20 million player as he's treading water at the level we are now at. He's likely to struggle in the majority of games He's not, but £20m in this market almost certainly doesn't buy you a Premier League quality player either unless you get lucky. Coming off ...

NickBFC

£80k a week for Brownhill would seem crazy on the face of it, but if you factor in paying £10-20m for a replacement player and a salary of c£40k a week it makes a little more sense. I hope he stays.
