Regardless of whether we should/shouldn't take him back, did the club withdraw any offer made to him, or is it still on the table? Not sure but with him expressing his leaving it's automatically declined. I can't think of any other examples of a player not signing a extension offered for months the...

Well & truly dry powered the day he left. It is what it is I guess.

I'd be extremely surprised if Osmajic faces any punishment. Ultimately I believe he said something extremely derogatory because I was there and Hannibal reacted immediately and was clearly incandescent for quite some time. However, nobody else appeared to hear it or corroborate it, otherwise the re...

Well generally that's the whole idea when people want to push on in their chosen careers.

I always found it amazing how willing some Burnley fans were to slate a lad who's still 20 now. Most players that age are nowhere near a first team squad, never mind have done what he's done so far. If he's old enough to take the money he's old enough for a bit of flack when under par. Most men at ...

Fao ClaretTony this fiasco has gone on far too long it should have been sorted inside a month after the event.The FA and their stance on racism has been shown to be seriously flawed. Hannibal has been totally let down in this situation. You could actually argue it's osmajic that's been let down if ...

I'm actually in agreement. There's no chance that Wolves would have offered £40m. Being honest, I don't even think they made an official bid or offer. That indeed is a possibility we'll never know. I know some people were carried away on here (usual suspects) on the back of a couple of a good games...

Can also remember the panic by some when it was described as a fire sale and his name was mentioned as being sold to Wolves, I don't recall many saying sell him. "I don't recall many saying sell him" pretty pointless had they done there was no way wolves were stumping up the £40 big bucks we report...

Should, with hindsight have been sold last summer, when his stock was high and there was apparent interest. If our model is to buy young and cheap, we’ve got to get better at identifying when to sell. The same could have been said for the likes of Benson and Zaroury, the summer before. I get that i...

We don’t half seem to get plagued with constant injuries to several key players at any given time. It’s definitely got worse in the last 2-3 years. Can’t recall it ever being as bad in the Dyche era. It's a massive problem. When you have a recruitment policy that's seem to be ideologically driven t...

I’ll be surprised if we sign another striker. Foster just delivered an 8/10 performance against one of the leagues best cb pairings, we just signed Broja for 10-15m and Flemming is back to fitness. We will keep playing a one striker system, so that would feel a bit much. Tuanzebe is a worry, I thin...

Stop being silly. Nobody is trolling differences of opinion are occurring that is all.

It's not good unless you harness it in the right way. Like anything in life moderation is key.

I hope I’m wrong, and I’m sure someone will hurl insults my way for this, but I seriously worry about what will happen to us this season. Leeds and Sunderland look to have signed more quality whilst we’ve got around 40 players who are all on a similar level - not quite good enough for the league we...

Probably same people who said Kyle Walker is past it

He's only played 1 PL game for us so far & we conceded 3. I'm not saying he is past it but we haven't really seen anything with substantive conviction that he isn't. Very very early days to make firm conclusions.

Probably….that’s the key word here. We don’t know. However, that’s not the point. I’m wondering why the Police weren’t involved at Preston? He's denied it & nobody can be 100% & that could possibly include Hannibal if he's misheard something. The evidence friday was probably overwhelming due to the...

I’m asking the question. But to add some context both incidents are effectively identical, someone says an allegedly racist remark that no one else hears, it’s reported to the referee.

I agree he’ll be professionally advised, but it will be an agent. If there’s an agent out there that puts the needs and wants of his client before his own, he won’t be working for a footballer.

If you can't hack it don't back it. It's been apparent for some considerable time now that lyle has backed something he can't hack it's not completely his fault he doesn't asked to get picked. It would be nice at some point if lyle could score just 1 goal & at least pretend to be a striker.

Just sold 2 completed in 3 months give or take a odd week the land registry side was slow I used foleys in accrington & the hold up was from the buying sides solicitors. It shouldn't take that long. You need to find out precisely where they are at & question why things are taking so long.

Jakubclaret

Ok, no offers came in, and we have him for another two years. Would it be wise to let him rot, or perhaps try and get a tune out of him, to benefit the team? It is what it is. You buy duds & then have the problem that you can't shift. Might be a radical idea but try not to buy duds in the first pla...

If you think we have a players better suited to carry the ball at pace and contest outballs / 50-50s then I'm all ears.

Personally I would have got shut a long time ago & bought somebody else for that exact purpose you are proposing.

Jakubclaret

Purpose of the thread well and truly gone. We all know he hasn't scored at the rate required - the thread is about identifying if there's a position / role on the pitch perhaps he's better suited to, because there's no denying that his work rate / strength / speed / link play is good enough for our...

Ahh yes. You were the one who claimed our pre-season tour to Portugal was a "doss" so I'll just leave it there.

& the subsequent friendlies that followed where everybody looked knackered I guess kind of dismissed that perspective.

Agreed, but without a proper pre-season, he's really playing catch-up now.

Yes & no I've got the belief that if you are young man (which he is) & go to the gym & exercise etc & generally take good care of yourself you don't need pre-seasons you are in fine fettle anyway.

Jakubclaret

I know that. I was responding to the suggestion that he'd misread the situation. He'll be professionally advised anyway & I doubt his agent will be going against his best interests his agent probably advised him not to extend. So you could suggest his agents an idiot or he is in a way for employing...

Or, which has already been alluded to, he thought he could get a better one elsewhere.

He might still do. As a free agent he can pick & choose & we have no idea what he's been offered.

It was you that put that suggestion forward.

I've genuinely no idea why he's not found another club, but if he genuinely has misread his market value then he's an idiot because he had a perfectly good offer on the table here.

Obviously not good enough else he would have put pen to paper.

We can compete against teams in the bottom 10 - we just need to find the right formula. At this point we haven't played anybody in the bottom 10 to establish that so it's impossible to say. You could actually say based on last season we have yesterday & look how that went. The people completely cre...

The point of this thread Jakub, was suggesting that is there a role for Foster in this side other than being the main striker. I know you like to derail and troll but do keep up.

Not the best striker, but what the poster said doesn't tell the full story, as I said

A striker is there to score goals it's as simple as that. No other club would put up with half we do.

It seems to be news to posters on here that Dubravka is an established Premier league goalkeeper.

So do you think a younger keeper (Weiss?) would have done better? No idea I don't know much about him. My understanding is that we opted to go for a cheaper keeper to spend money elsewhere & ended up with broja at £15m +. Personally I would have gone for Johnstone at £7m & kone £5m & you are showin...

I think you are missing the point here. The comparison which is easily made is Trafford vs Championship attacks as opposed to a 1 off Dubravka vs a decent PL forward line. I know that. It's not fair comparing JT in the championship & expecting dubravka to do the same in the PL with far better strik...

He did have a good game today but the good games are far & few between. I'll start to become more enthused if he can follow it up with another good performance. He's been at the club awhile now & I can probably count on 1 hand disregarding the thumb how many good games he's had.

The commentator and Paul Robinson talked about the power of the volley for the 2nd, you could hear the crowd’s reaction when they watched the replay. Some UTC thought he should have saved it.
