When we play games on the top pitches , U21s or friendlies for example, dont we generally use the other, grass pitch ?

randomclaret2

Espanyol would be a very good move for Koleosho. Although I hoped he would feature for us. His pace and direct running is what we would need as an outlet this year If Koleosho were being linked with a different Spanish side, we could safely assume that the club would only sanction a deal if it suit...

Possibly to do with being involved in the national team after the season had finished. Sounds like we've given him so extra time off, possibly to try and keep him happy

He was training at Gawthorpe with the rest of the squad last week

£10m bid rejected for Doumbia

Watford fans seem somewhat surprised by the size of our bid

Seems to be the school of thought in the Spanish media that Espanyol will be the longer term senior partner in this deal which fills me with nothing but dread. We can only hope it’s nothing more than a a bit of hollow briefing to butter up the Espanyol fans. Im not sure that's a scenario that I cou...

Certainly an interesting one.

Didnt he score against us in April ? Was a bit of a handful I seem to recall.

randomclaret2

But Massengo was never going to play. Kompany never gave him a start with him just getting one in the Championship under Parker. It’s a good move for him and for us. I do agree in relation to Massengo Tony, was just commenting on our lack of midfielders in general really, particularly with Brownhil...

Some clearly don’t get it despite it being so obvious.

Wonder if we'll hear anything from Mr Pace explaining things ? All the news seems to be coming from Spain.

I sincerely hope we are not resigning Redmond. Let him train as a favour but that's it.I never understood the signing and the wages it cost in his non availability the first time round

Could maybe do a job for Espanyol ?

Pace, who has already met with Espanyol executives, intends to practically reside in Barcelona to ensure the Blue and Whites' growth in the sport. For now, the American tycoon will control the transfer market from now until the end of August, and some significant signings are expected. The new owner...

Alan Pace's idea was to also acquire the Belgian club this summer, but its relegation to the Second Division left the deal hanging in the air, although it is very likely to become a reality. For Velocity Sport, it is important to enter a market like Belgium, where its youth teams are producing top-l...

For Pace, the purchase of Espanyol was an absolute priority, and the blue and white club will become the parent team of the group, with which it hopes to operate by investing in signings starting in the second year and when the income level is more consolidated. For now, Espanyol will be able to ben...

The investment group led by Alan Pace, which has reached an agreement to acquire Espanyol, is analyzing other investments in European football to complete a top-level football timeshare. Currently, Velocity Sport, the vehicle of Pace's investment fund, controls Burnley and will do the same with Espa...

I know it's all we really have but given the "undisclosed" nature of most transfers I wouldn't trust any valuations on TransferMarkt to be completely accurate tbh

No, thats certainly true , but as you say its all we really have and none of the figures they quote seem outlandish to me

No idea but it can’t be more than 10m

Just had a quick tot up on TransferMarkt, their figures come to €20.3m , or £17.5m

I suspect JBL is to replace Brownhill, playing him through the middle rather than out wide

Im struggling to picture a scenario where, given we literally have a world of midfielders to look at, the club came up with JBL as the replacement fir Brownhill.

randomclaret2

Sounds like he's not au fait with the impending CFS changes yet...“I can’t wait to run out that tunnel again at Turf Moor in a few weeks and see all the fans again.”

randomclaret2

Given it was him that wanted Anthony, Laurent and seemingly was the decisive factor in Edwards I'd say Parker very much has a huge say I was thinking more that JBL was here when Parker wasnt....so id he a player the recruitment team and certain coaches were keen on more than the manager maybe ? Jus...

randomclaret2

It's an odd one for me given who we have wide: Tchaouma Anthony Koleosho Edwards Tresor Benson Even if Benson and Tresor leave, we have two for each wide spot. But at the price he's decent cover, amd was definitely one of our better attacking players for a spell under kompany. I just can't see him ...

Good move for him...steadily progressing with each loan

It's gone strangely quiet on transfers. I wonder if we are waiting for clubs/players to make a decision?

We desperately need midfielders...DESPERATELY!!

I notice Bauress and McDermott have been training with the First Team

randomclaret2

Well kind of. Costs of signings are spread over their contract. If you look at someone like Humphreys who we paid £10m for on a 4 year contract at the start of July (not exact figures/dates) then the impact for last season's accounts is only one month of amortisation, so £10m divided by 48 months g...

Losing Esteve really would be a big blow

This is a fair question. On your point of mistakes, I’m not sure how these are calculated for stats. Often fans see a minor error by a keeper and pin the blame on him when actually several players have made bigger mistakes before them to even allow a player to get a shot off. His errors for us howe...

Good spot, that was a typo. It was 2 wins and 6 draws making 12 points with Muric. PPG Muric = 0.67 PPG Other = 0.5 I'd argue the most important stat is goals conceded, which are much higher without Muric. How many more points would Ipswich have had but for the horrendous mistakes Muric made which ...

Does ' Manchester based ' definitely imply a City or United player ?

Of all the keepers available to us, why on earth would we want to sign Muric ?
