I think Burnley will remain the priority to ALK so long as we are in the Premier League due to the money that generates. The issue is when (not if) we drop out of it again. If we are not financially supported at that point in time as the priority entity, bouncing back at the first opportunity may n...

2020 was the 13 months accounting period with staff costs of 100,094. For what it's worth, the Wage:Turnover ratio (season) was down in 2024. From Key performance indicators of the annual reports. 2023/24: 69.94% (Relegated) 2022/23: 88.68% (Promoted) 2021/22: 74.53 (Relegated) 2020/21: 74.66% (Behi...

We sold players for £88m after 31st July, but bought players for an initial £1m - presumably this means that all the fees for Flemming, Humphries, and Antony won't be included. The initial £1m is odd to me. After July 31st we permanently signed Etienne Green (Aug 7th), Worrall (Aug 22nd), Mejbri (A...

It'll be Egan-Riley, he was 19 when we signed him. ‘Club Developed Player’ means a Player who has been registered with the relevant Club for a minimum of 12 months prior to the end of his Under 19 Season (as determined in accordance with the Youth Development Rules). Koleosho & Agyei would also qual...

Benson, Redmond and Agyei all doing competitive work. Ramsey present, but not.

Ramsey is doing competitive work, 1:13 then scores at 1:21.

I would say from this training video the only players not training are sambo Tresor and Ramsey

Ramsey is there, 24 seconds in

I suspect we’ll be losing more than 3 players this week

I agree, just making a counter point for why so many are being moved on. Incomings will be key. Saturday's fixture couldn't be worse timing, hence the heightened stress levels.

If/when O'Shea, Weghorst & Benson leave our squad size will be 24, meaning we can register 1 more player born on or after Jan 1 2023, or register 1 loan player. Maybe there's some more wiggle room with some of our long term injuries.

Would have been my guess as he speaks Italian and worked with Capello for England, Mourinho isn't at Roma anymore like the link states.

Currently, to be classified as homegrown one must be on an English team for at least three years before the age of twenty-one[4] Massengo was 21 July 7th 2022 and signed for Bristol in August 5th 2019 aged 18 years and 2 weeks so he played 2019-20, 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 being 20 at the end of tha...

Really don't understand why we have a new card printed every season, massive pain for everyone including the ticket office. I had issues in Aug 2021, season card never turned up. Notified ticket office weeks in advance, refused to post a reprint out. No form of postal tracking available on the seaso...

There's a CB on loan at Southampton who's getting absolutely rave revues I notice, as Saints have been on an amazing run. Can't believe we didn't think he was worth pursuing! I really like THB, but after watching him on Saturday I still don't think he's ready for teams that don't dominate possesion...

Left sided centre back, can never have enough of those especially as ours have injury problems. His heatmap from this season shows he's got a lot of touches in a defensive left back channel as part of a back 3/5, allows for an attacking right back. Height always welcome. Plus no word on the injury D...

Using transfermarkt as a "source", ALK players in and out only. Cornet, Collins, Hennessey. Arrivals: €29m. Departures: €45m (including free for Hennessey which I don't think is right, add a mil?). Obvs taking a loss on Weghorst, even if wages have been covered for two years. As others have said, fe...

The agent probably had a lot to do with, given what we’ve done for Maatsens career. Maatsen only joined them this week, publicly at least. Other notable Epic Sports clients, Soumaïla Coulibaly, Tomás Araújo & Sardar Azmoun. All been linked with BFC in the media in the last handful of transfer windo...

Tresor won't be playing on the wing, and Benson has signed a new contract. Interesting article on the Athletic about Tresor yesterday, “I have always been a No 10 by nature,” Tresor told Transfermarkt in March. “I have always had this altruistic nature, this vision of the game, to serve my team-mat...

Are we playing 4-2-3-1?

Don't know, looks like 4-1-4-1 based off the Sofascore heat maps. Brownhill sitting in front of a flat back four.

What other left backs are a possibility? Was it Fernandez from Man Utd (who was with PNE last year) and wasn't there someone from Feyenoord earlier in the window? Gomez at City? Quilindschy Hartman from Feyenoord and who can forget we've recently been linked to Sergio Akieme of Almeria ;) Maybe can...

There’s me thinking that Danny Ings got a move to Liverpool, Trippier to Spurs (then on to win La Liga), Pope to Newcastle now in the CL, countless more all playing in the Prem… My point that didn't make your quote was "We really struggled to recruit in the Dyche ALK era". 21 Winter I think we can ...

VK before the Villa game https://youtu.be/0CaqjAbh1bU VK: I think we had the choice to stand still and then obviously you benefit a little bit more of a settled team or to use the fact that we went to the Premier League to actually do what we need to do, in my opinion, and is to strengthen as much a...

The average team position against Villa vs the last game of the season (Cardiff home) and another game against PL opposition from last season, Bournemouth away in the cup. Obviously the strength/playstyle of the opposition does play into this but it does reiterate the sort of feeling that many has ...

Odd usage of Ayling first 20 mins of Leeds game, RB out of possession then charged with being wide right in forward line when in possession. Tough on "old" legs... and Cardiff ahead after exploiting a huge gap

Dewsbury-Hall showed his class. Leicester looked dodgy at the back.
Cov looked to have recruited well again, some good signs from their new players.

Teamsheet has;
02 Dara O'SHEA
04 Jack CORK
13 Wout Weghorst
18 Hjalmar EKDAL
21 Luke MCNALLY
31 Andros Townsend
30 Zeki Amdouni
44 Dara COSTELLOE

1-0. Deflected shot from a young lad we just brought on wearing 53.

53 is probably Basilio Rieno Socoliche https://www.instagram.com/p/CuCETmjtKjt ... BiNWFlZA==

I'd assume Cork starts Saturday as he's suspended for the Cup Wednesday.

I streamed the Cardiff game from the Algarve on Clarets+, I didn't amend anything on my profile.

Heaton came back to training a week after Pope & Hart, probably a factor in not getting minutes yesterday.
