Scotty only has to ask Walker what Ortega is like to play in front of. Thats better than any data analysis or stats for me

warksclaret

Theres about 10 or so players that need selling/loaning out before Luca. We will be punching above our weight in the PL and having exciting players like him in our side gives us a chance. I was having second doubts about him but then saw him at QPR(last game but one) after a lengthy absence in the C...

Ron and WYN Davies were both great centre forwards
Saw Ron play for Southampton a few times and he was a nightmare to mark

warksclaret

Hopefully a sale,even if only for peanuts rather than a loan
That way we get him off the wage bill

warksclaret

The wheeling and dealing involved in moving our "fringe" players will necessitate the recruitment team staying put in Burnley. Its one huge exercise

We have been praising Parker for the past 4-5 months in the way he has steered us to promotion/100 points/30 clean sheets/man management etc As we know, in his day he was one of the fiercest midfielders I had seen in this country, so lets assume, having managed in the PL already, that he knows first...

Why did I get shivers up my spine when the name Mike Rigg was quoted

warksclaret

What a great "team" player this guy is, and a shrewd acquisition by Scotty, at a time when players were queuing up to get out of our club

warksclaret

you've twisted that a bit (although I enjoy you've had to go back as far as Nugent) :lol: Of course there are some players that come through the EPL. I was answering the point that it's not as easy as just spending 20m on the LEADING SCORERS in the Championship. Fully accepted-always a risk as as a...

Adam Armstrong : failed Sammie Szmodics : failed and that's just from them down the road You have to be a unit (like Wood) to make the step up I think. So Mitrovic, Glenn Murray, Caluum Wilson, Chris Wood, Dave Nugent , Pukkhi, the late Jota ,Ivan Toney,Charlie Austin, Danny Ings,Delap,Jarrod Bowen...

It can’t be helped as injuries happen.He is one of our squad that’s never made an impact though has shown flashes of brilliance Can’t help think Burnley may feel they made an error here.I think he would have been sensational in the Championship but instead of selling him put him out on loan without ...

Hamer

warksclaret

Had it been a Man City or Arsenal player who got supposedly racially abused, would it have dragged on for 5 or more months before a decision was made

warksclaret

A strange signing at the time considering the decent fee we paid, and hasn’t been anywhere near the level we need. Ship out on loan this year, and take it from there. Far bigger priorities in forwards to ship out prior to him. Churlinov, Obefemi are not up to Championship standard. Hountondji lucki...

I presume its knee/ACL nature of injury ??, which might be the best part of this season

warksclaret

In fairness I think Warks was specifically saying we shouldn't overstep the line being critical of our own players, not saying we can't have an opinion. I was just assuming his message was replying to my own, which it wasnt. There are some very constructive criticisms of Foster on this post and can...

warksclaret

There's a big difference between "Hyper-criticality" and simply suggesting a player isn't good enough to step up to the Premier League given their previous 2 or 3 seasons at the club. The players will still be backed, but there has to be some logic thrown into the equation. Its not the suggestions ...

warksclaret

For those supposed fans being hyper crytical of a group of our players (and I think we all know which players), I would love to know what they ever achieved in their own careers, if they even had one. We are six weeks away from from a tremendous return to the PL by our team and manager and already m...

warksclaret

It was always unlikely in the Championship tbf. I really hope you've seen something in Foster that the rest of us haven't. I can see why so many on here are divided by him-it was really frustrating, last season in particular , watching him in a number of games. However If anyone can surprise us by ...

warksclaret

All good players, but do you really think they looked better in the PL (for us) than in the Championship? Interesting how they are all defensive players too. I dare say it's more difficult for an attacking player to make the step up, unless they're something special, which I really don't think Fost...

Wasn't aware CT. Hope he's making a good recovery

Wade Elliot ? …yes I’m clutching at straws

Ben Mee, Stephen Ward,Michael Duff, Tarkowski , Michael Keane, Tom Heaton

warksclaret

I have not written him off as he is so different to everyone else in the squad, and I firmly believe he is a better PL player than Championship. Remember going to Forest to see us in the League Cup in an early round. Both him and Amdouini were subs, but came on in the second half and terrorised the ...

Just to see the options we have wide now I've listed them below, don't think I've missed any. I think there's slightly more versatility there than in Kompanys bunch. If we get the list down to 5 or 6 then they will probably all get minutes at different times. I imagine Bensons going, Koleosho has t...

warksclaret

If it is Larsen I am happy to welcome him-he is quite versatile across the front line. What I like best about his was his intelligent running into threatening positions when he last played for us. However I suspect he will be used wide and boy have we now got some players in that role-Edwards, Antho...

The huge series of bidding and rejection of the offers by us from Newcastle , reminds me of when we were interested in Dawson about 8 years ago

warksclaret

People suggesting Berge are showing a massive lack of knowledge if they think there's any chance of him coming here. He's more likely to go to a top 6 club than to us, had a fantastic season for Fulham. Also people's expectations are way too high if they are disappointed at JBL coming into the squa...

How reliable is O'Rourke

warksclaret

Can see Brewster going to Boro. Their new manager Rob Edwards likes playing with a big No 9, and might get the best out of him

warksclaret

I'd expect Ramsey to be pushing for a starting position when the season opens

warksclaret

My favorite ever player and was great to watch. Saw him make his debut at Wolves as a centre forwards

warksclaret

Leicester may end up with a points deduction next season making it difficult for them. I suspect Dyche doesn’t want to be dealing with that again. I agree-the threat of points is obviously a deterrent to the likes of Dyche, particularly as some feel it could be close to double figures. Wilder was a...

A new name enters the race and gets the favourite tag Marti Cifuentes I find that underwhelming Kenton. Here we have a club that in recent times has wone the EPL, the FA Cup, and pushed again for a top four slot in the EPL. What has Cifuentes achieved as a manager ?? Also surprised SD has ruled him...

warksclaret

Lets hope for the benefit of club and player that he plays well at his new club. As said its one of many to no doubt be moved on, and I sense he was one of the easier ones to find a club that wanted him

I doubt Muric will ever play in England again-most astute football fans know why. Not sure why we need to spend several full pages of posts discussing the merits of a return. One of the best bits of business done under the new owners to get £10m for him. Lets move on-and by the way Trafford is still...

Hearing Wilson for WHU. I can appreciate the concern about his injury record, in particular hamstring, however when Wellbeck was at Arsenal no one would have touched him for the same reason, however in 5 seasons at Brighton 161 appearances and 37 goals. Because of his play I believe their captain at...

McAtee?

Would be awesome. I have heard City prepared to let him go so he can get game time. He will of course know Trafford and Walker, Saw him this season at Leicester-only 35 minutes but he looked class. Be a brilliant replacement for Brownhill

warksclaret

Graeme Bailey (dont know how reliable he is), stating that Brownhill could be tempted to the MLS , and that Toronto are keen to get him

Chris Wilder being talked about down here. They need to move fast whilst there are a few decent options about ie Rohl, O'Neil, Carrick, Wilder, Dyche (if he is keen). Suspect all could do a decent job

Games like these make you realise the value of Anderson & Broad

warksclaret

I really like Sargent, he is an unselfish player who works incredibly hard for the team. I'm just not sure about £16 Million, if it was £10 Million then that would be perfect. A player who is sold for £16 Million wants a wage that corresponds with that fee. It's certainly a position that needs stre...

warksclaret

With Foster's injury record including his lengthy mental health issues, combined to his goals per game ratios in England, it will be very hard to sell him at anything like the price we paid. Having said that I would be happy for him to be very much one of our 25 man squad and see how he does in pre ...

What a lift for Burnley fans. How did we keep this under wraps, surely other clubs would have enquired about him

Missed Churlinov off my list; so that makes 23 in the squad if we sell or move those 11 on.

We are on the sames lines MDD. Yes I forgot Messengo and Churlinov

warksclaret

I was undecided about Parker-but he had seen two promotions to the PL so did not write him off. I feared a move from his wonderful surrounds in Surrey would be too challenging moving to Burnley, and he may not "get" the Burnley culture, and what the club stands for. Alongside this we saw his squad b...

Walker has always struck me as being a very quick, solid athlete. He appears to be someone who can play into his late 30's. Ashley Young a great example, as are Thiago Silva, James Milner, Van Dyke (mentioned above), Vardy. I could go on for hours. Looks like a few people are looking at ways it coul...

warksclaret

Just give him away if anyone is daft enough to take him and pay him anything close to what he’ll be on here. Appalling signing and appalling player. To think we were ready to pay big money for him in 2022. Shudder. I can only assume that it was Bellamy pushing for him. HE obviously was close to foo...

Will be a challenge to move on-done little in 3 seasons to build up his CV. Suspect League 1 at best for a "fire sale"
