Try telling that to someone with no money worries Money comes money goes it's the circle of life. It's better not to worry I understand that people do worry. I've yet to come across people that worry where their fortunes have improved but in contrast people that are chilled out & don't give a sh1t ...

He got bit of clog, nothing more nothing less. It was more frustration of Kompany not dropping him than anything else. There were plenty of occasions where the fans got behind him as well. I think there always has been a lot of revisionism about how all that went down. You'd think there were groups...

Try saying that to someone who has none.

People can worry but worrying won't help matters if anything it'll make things worse. What will be will be everything will sort itself out it always does.

Given that JB's Burnley contract ended at the end of June, he's already circa £500k down on his earnings this year having effectively unemployed for July and August. Given he would have been earning a bomb previously for years in today's earning climate he's way off flogging big issue he shouldn't ...

Jakubclaret

I just pay it I don't think I've ever looked at the bill to try to understand it nor want to. If it ever got to the point where the bill seemed unreasonable or excessively high I'd probably look into it. Life is too short to be worrying about money.

Jakubclaret

However, we probably needed the money That's very true it served a mutual benefit. I think if he would have declared happiness & insisted he wanted to stay as soon as the likes of Newcastle & Man city started offering the sums mentioned it wouldn't have gone down too well not that would have likely...

He digs in and fights for his place.City are making some horrendous choices with their selections and Peps blind spot about improving a porous defence

He's stuck now until at least January he's got no other choice it gives him a few months.

Jakubclaret

He'll end up moving on I think. Some transfers are that daft it's puzzling to work out why they bothered in the first place. City are good at signing players & not finding places for them to fit in the phillips chap & grealish are 2 recent 1s that stand out although KP is still there with no future ...

Jakubclaret

Well it’s kind of hard because I assume we’ve signed players to stay in the league. Ultimately does it really matter though when we’ve got a gaping Egan Riley sized hole in the defence and keep conceding soft goals down the same side? If those fragilities continue we will go down, then what? Would ...

If you treat adults like children eventually they'll start behaving that way. Far too many are pampered & indulged excessively I'm not advocating a dickensian style approach but in part some of us are responsible for the way things are in a behavioural sense.

Jakubclaret

Difficult to determine at this juncture the weight of the signings contributions or whether they'll stay fit. Some look ok on paper a mixed bunch. How can it be assessed prior in terms of a number rating is difficult as an understatement when people don't have a clue how they are going to get on ove...

The World Cup winning team will not have a player in it that plays for Brentford.

Winning the thing in the first place might be a small consideration.

Jakubclaret

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...

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 ...

Jakubclaret

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...

Jakubclaret

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...

Jakubclaret

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.

Jakubclaret

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...

Jakubclaret

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. In one instance someone is arrested and barred from every football ground in the country awaiting a trial, whilst ...

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. Not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, but there’s def summat not adding up here. A...

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.

Jakubclaret

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...

It was you that put that suggestion forward.

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.

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.
