Just watched Luis play the last 20 minutes. Didn't look like he got injured, so hopefully all good. He seemed bigger than when I'd seen him on YouTube highlights. Didn't stop running but also didn't have much of the ball as Benfica were defending a lead with 10 men. Off to get your flight you go!

claretlegend

I'd still keep Worrell over Ekdal if it came to that (I don't expect either to leave). We need leaders like Worrell to get us through this season. Sometimes personally and leadership makes up for ability.

claretlegend

If we sign Luis, I think Hannibal will be the one for the chop from our starting 11. I love how he gets opponents backs up and that will come in useful over the season, but I expect we'll play Ugochuckwu further forward with Cullen and Luiz sitting.

I remember on the first documentary one of the board members (or VK) suggesting he'll be better in the premier league than the championship. It's so true, but I don't understand why. Maybe playing football on the break rather than final third intricacy? He's powerful and not short of pace. Really pl...

Etienne Green has joined FC Fredericia on a permanent deal - official Twitter

claretlegend

Linked with Getafe attaching central midfielder Christantus Uche by Ekrem Konur on X. Konur has 239k followers but i've no idea how reliable he is. Sunderland, Leeds and Wolves also linked.

claretlegend

I really really really hate Leeds and I really really really really hate it when Leeds win with a scabby refereeing decision!

claretlegend

I hope we don't play Walker as a centre back, he's been arguably the best right back in world football over the last 10 years or so.

claretlegend

Brilliant mince and onion pie in the Bob Lord today. Perfectly cooked and very nice.

claretlegend

Does anyone have any information on what sort of game time Broja, Ugochukwu and Dubravka have had this pre-season?

claretlegend

I'm sure there were young and better options out there but we haven't got a bottomless pit. We still had Ugochukwu, Broja and all the rest to pay for. This is a smart, cheap signing which has allowed us to spend in other areas.

claretlegend

Dubravka currently having a medical

claretlegend

Sorry, I've not had chance to read the whole thread - why are we discussing Hamer in detail? Has he been linked?

claretlegend

If we signed Broja, Dubravka and Ugochukwu I wouldn't be disappointed if we called that a day. We don't want another over inflated squad full of unhappy players not getting a game.

A thought, could BFC be holding back a signing announcements so they can release it after a Trafford to City announcement, to soften the blow?

I'm pretty certain we're holding back the Esteve contract news too.

claretlegend

The Senegalese striker looks a real handful. I can't see us beating Man United and Brentford to him though.

Done anyone know what Nixon headline of 'Burnley, Stevenage want keeper' is about?

claretlegend

Is Tresor on yet?

claretlegend

He's a seriously fantastic defender and iId be very surprised if he doesn't go on to play regularly for the French national team. Brilliant news if we've managed to tie him down. it might only be until next summer but regardless, should help boost the transfer fee.

claretlegend

Sacha Tavolieri tweeting that we want Jens Cajuste. I think we already knew that, but there you go.

claretlegend

As mentioned above, that will be because city had a 20% sell on fee to come if we'd have sold elsewhere.

claretlegend

Hopefully we can begin to move on from Trafford now that seems to be almost done.

Brilliant news on Steve if true. The best centre half I've ever seen at Burnley.

claretlegend

For him to have followed Burnley on Instagram there must surely be something happening.

claretlegend

I loved Barnes' as West Ham in the 0-3 win. Tough to narrow down admittedly.

claretlegend

He could end up staying at this rate.

claretlegend

City apparently want 35m for McAtee, so surely we can write our chances of any involvement in the Trafford deal off. Forest, West Ham and Dortmund interested.

claretlegend

So realistically we need a GK, strong central midfielder alongside Cullen, and a striker. I wonder what sort of money we're expecting to spend on these.

claretlegend

Josh Brownhill has been offered serious money by Chicago Fire. He's in Chicago now. Good luck to him, I think we'll miss him.

claretlegend

Linked with Ortega (GK) of City if Trafford goes. Apparently the Trafford release clause is 40m.

claretlegend

Does anyone know if clubs have insurance on this sort of thing or do we now have to pay his wages while he's injured?

claretlegend

I much prefer this when we don't really know who's coming in. I like the surprise.

Looks like a medical is happening according to turfcast

Interesting. It's been a bit quiet on the rumours front, so we might be in for another surprise a la Walker.

claretlegend

Pretty unbelievable signing. He might be slightly past his best but thats a big statement signing. Hopefully helps attract others too.

claretlegend

Linked with Jens Cajuste of Napoli on Twitter. Played at Ipswich last year. Edit - link from Sport Sports Lyall Thomas. Palace, Besiktas and Sevilla also interested.

claretlegend

Is Matt Scrafton saying we aren't in at all, or that we just are close to signing Diouf yet?

claretlegend

Brilliant news! Great guy to have around the place. Last season proved this after his arrival.

claretlegend

Do we know what the Ipswich fans made of him last season?

claretlegend

I wonder if Ramsdale might be available on loan for a season

claretlegend

I don't think we can say Trafford is a better keeper than Pope yet. Pope has proved himself in the prem over many years, Trafford had a tough time in his single premier league season.

claretlegend

Seeing footage from earlier in the incident, it appears there is some kind of road rage and the guy has completely lost his mind and driven into the crowds. Police confirmed it's a white British man from Liverpool. I hope everyone is ok.

claretlegend

The Sheff Utd fans call him the 60 minute wonder. He doesn't often get close to finishing 90 mins - there must be a reason why no PL teams took him in a free as good as he is Could the same be said of Hannibal? Certainly not intended as a dig, but Hannibal puts so much into the game that's he's goo...

claretlegend

I thought Obafemi was out of contract this summer. Clearly not.

claretlegend

Barnes offered a new deal by the looks. Brilliant news, even if he doesn't play much.

claretlegend

Sunderland deserve to stay down just because of the tool banging loudly on the some metal sheet next to the microphone!

claretlegend

Good lad Bashley! UTC!

claretlegend

Barnes to start. Off after 65-70 for Redmond, or put Anthony up top.

claretlegend

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but didn't 2nd place used to lift a trophy? I seem to remember us doing this first time round under Dyche. Is this not the case any more?

claretlegend

No idea about Monday. There are a number of what I would assume are quite small scale investors from Hong Kong and Singapore from memory. There are also some of the younger members of the Kwok family (Asia’s 5th richest family) invested. The Chief of Staff is also from Singapore. Could be any of th...

Do we know who the Chinese gentleman was in the directors box on Monday? I'm sure there were rumours of Chinese investment a year or two ago.

Not doing one. I don’t think the second showed some of them in the best of lights.

Disappointing if that's the case. They're enjoyable when there's a good ending! With all the mini-episodes we've been getting, I assumed that would be part of another series.

claretlegend

It's brilliant that the players wanted to celebrate with the fans. I bet they had a good night! Some great pictures of them in the Dyche.
