It's good that we have all the important business done before the season starts.Very different to last seasons chaos.SP can now work on the squad that he wants, nobody up and leaving.
He can let others within the club to trim the squad and offload the unwanted players

gtclaret

Just a striker now and I think we're done as far as incoming transfers.Theres quite a few to offload though

"ex-Claret". Technically, he was on the pitch (unless sent off) physically but didn't play.

I take it that you are unaware of the story behind that

I'm a Burnley fan,not an ALK fan,I want what's best for Burnley,I have no interest in any other clubs owned by ALK. From what I've just read Pace will be spending his time with Espanyol,and the will be the parent club obtaining quality loan signings from Burnley.How can any Burnley fan be happy abou...

gtclaret

Milan didn't want him , now money or no good enough not sure . Best years are behind him and can he still cut it in the Prem we will find out soon enough. So yes I have my doubts . I also have doubts,but SP has said that the best signing last season was Joe Worrell,not for what he did on the pitch,...

gtclaret

According to the Burnley Express,there was no truth in our reported interest anyway

gtclaret

I know nothing about the situation, what I do know as Brownhill, Cullen and Laurent are not prem standard,so whether he stays or not we are going to have to bring in better

gtclaret

Sacking one coach after another doesn't help,just ask that lot down at Watford

What's the age limit?

Father time decides that,and as yet nobody has been able to beat it.The younger faster premier league forwards will be all over him,as we age the reaction time also slows,we simply wouldn't be able to cope.Ots not my decision,it's mother nature unfortunately

gtclaret

I actually laughed at this. Clearly Ekdal is a much worse player than Ben Mee. Ekdal is a much worse player than Ben Mee WAS,not IS he's 35,it's the premier league we already have experienced players to support the team off field, especially if Barnes signs,we don't need Mee,FFS give your head a wo...

How about Heaton on a 3 year deal while we're at it?

Exactly

Gets the club and a great leader. Why not.

Because he's 35 and we're playing in the Premier League, that's why not

gtclaret

Many thanks from me,I do look at the opposition forums to get their opinion on Burnley and this is by far the best

gtclaret

If SP had this group of players from the beginning of the season, that is with a pre season etc I think we would have been unbeaten and overtaken Readings 106 point record

gtclaret

Sorry, I didn't see it

gtclaret

I've just read on Facebook that he has been diagnosed with the early onset of dementia.I hope this is not true

gtclaret

I heard that we are the only team in history not to concede more than one goal in any game for one full season.

gtclaret

Pick the MOM out of that then,I can't. Trafford can go home,I could take his place

Some saying we should offer him a deal. I'd be very disappointed if we did.

Who are these"some", he's 38 and would have lost the pace that made him so effective.He would offer nothing,are these people the same as the people who wanted a 37yr old overweight Glen Little to return

gtclaret

I don't know what really happened to Shelvey,he's was a complete waste of time.Barnes in no way should be retained as a player,be could barely cope in the championship let alone the Prem.A coach possibly,not a player though.

gtclaret

From 1972 onwards.The one before that was 1947,I doubt that too many on here will remember that one

gtclaret

I thought Koleoso would rip this league apart

gtclaret

Keep saying these things next season when results will be very different. Support him and the team if when we lose by four or five goals.He will not have become a bad manager.Pace will not be a bad chairman for failing to bridge the enormous gap in quality.

gtclaret

Unchanged today understandably,but I worry about our lack of options of we need to change things.I hope Foster and Benson are available for Monday as tired legs might play a part

gtclaret

Before you get too excited,just think,we have VAR to look forward to next season

gtclaret

Who would have thought that Sheffield United would have Oxford and Plymouth and lose them both.Lets just focus on beating Watford and nothing else

gtclaret

I am excluding our game against Sheffield United when I said assuming that they win the other 4 games and draw against us.Its totally in our hands now

gtclaret

I said on another thread,if we win our 2 away games,we can draw our home games to get promoted because of our superior goal difference.That is of course assuming that Sheffield United win the other 4 of their remaining games

gtclaret

Hugh won,of we can win our 2 remaining away games,we can draw the home games and be promoted because of our superior goal difference

gtclaret

What has happened to Redmond

gtclaret

That's his football career over,and probably any media work as well

gtclaret

This style of football is not for me,I had trouble staying awake during the game.England did what they had to do against a poor and very negative opposition.Ots the type of football being served up these days and I can't watch it.I am not alone thinking this and I think it will soon be reflected in ...

gtclaret

Sorry Fidel,I didn't see your post

gtclaret

Weren't setting similar records under Kompany
The Premier League is a different world to the Championship as we found out last season and will find out again if we are promoted

gtclaret

Sheffield United have Coventry next,then apart from us they have a run of very winnable games,so I desperately hope Wednesday win and the rest of Uniteds fixtures don't run to form

The problem Foster has is that he is not good enough,he is not the answer

Wouldn't be a massive surprise if we went same again after a relatively light work out on Saturday. Certainly wouldn't drop Foster.

I didn't see the game, only the goals.Apart from the tap in from 2 yards which any striker would have scored,did he do anything else?

gtclaret

We can't miss him as we never really had him to miss.A fully fit motivated Shelvey is far better than anything we have at the club.We would have certainly missed having that. Whether we would have got that is a question we will never be able to answer.

gtclaret

Depends on where he goes,£30m is not a fortune for some of these mega clubs who might see Traff as a future prospect.The other problem is that if he was to stay for another season,he is going to be really up against it if we get promoted.Even if we had the world's number one keeper,he would find lif...

gtclaret

He had better be careful where he goes,he might end up sitting on his bum for the season,I don't see how that is going to help his career.Maybe a loan back arrangement could be an option.

You lot with your threes and fours for Pires are absolutely embarrassing. Talk about scapegoat.

Absolutely this

gtclaret

The only thing that needed to end was every team trying to play the same way, that was bloody boring. Teams should embrace their identities and stop worrying that pundits will call them dinosaurs if they don't adhere to Pep's gospel at all times. Play to your strengths. But Pep has always said that...

gtclaret

The problem is with this type of football is that you have to have the players to be very good at it, otherwise it's just plain boring.Pep introduced it with Barcelona,it looked great,but look at the players they had.Spain inflicted it on the world and although successful it was mind numbing,pass pa...

After the QPR game on Saturday, Sheffield United are capable of winning all but one of their remaining games. We're going to have to step it up,we can't afford anymore 0-0's

gtclaret

Leeds win, winning the league is a bonus but promotion is a must.If QPR do is a favour next Saturday we can go second if we win at Cardiff,and we have Luton next.So Mr Parker, please please remember it's a win these games first,build up the goal difference second,and thirdly and this is the least im...

I would hate having to play Sheffield United needing to win

gtclaret

It's not negative to say that as things stand,we are not going to get enough points to finish in the top two.For example,let's take a typical 5 games.Sheff Utd may lose one,but win four (12 points). Whilst we we probably win two and draw three, without conceding (9 points), that's the problem and un...

I thought that on 3rd February after we didn't sign a striker
