Is good news, seems to be doing very well.

I spoke to Ben this week as he is back local. Did make contact with BFC and wanted to come back and possibly trained with us or went to Gawthorpe but squad size is too big. A shame.

Was thankful for the great reception at the Sheff U game too.

Not trying to be obtuse Warks but he is absolutely shredded. Lean muscle. So by weight gain presume you need in that sense?

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Love Cullen and feel he can make it with the right players around him like Leslie but against top ten midfielders feel he does need to release the ball quicker to avoid being dispossessed.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Is a technically proficient player. And intelligent.

Plenty of Prem appearances already.

Will do well. An asset for BFC.

Brentford, Wolves and West Ham are the teams the promoted clubs have to target, in order of likelihood. IMHO.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

We did OK.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Starting to cook.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

I’ll go Anthony and Flemming to both do relatively well.

Broja to do very well if he stays fit. But I don’t think would be a surprise given his pedigree.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

I think Josh Cullen, with the right people around him, is a good enough footballer for the Prem. Of course he might struggle against top 8, but with pace around him, out ball options (maybe Walker and Q if we play 5 at the back, for example), he will be one of the least of our problems. He finished ...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree with Quick. Absolutely must be another game.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Brentford the team for me to target. Loads of upheaval and rookie manager. Remember Le Bris too is a rookie, and Farke similar to Scotty P. So 4 managers there with no Prem survival experience - one has to stay up, if no changes. Sunderland will absolutely be in there - loads of signings, some very ...

A few United staff‘s kids (manager and fitness coach) at my sons school. So talk a bit on a colloquial level. Not trying to name drop, not cool.

But - they really rate Mount. When fit, absolute player, in their eyes.

I really don’t see the rumour, with how they talk about him.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

I reckon all (marketing?) staff at the club now under NDA / told no longer acceptable to leak news. Seems far more controlled these days wrt information flow.

It’s for the best.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

The type we should take a risk on. Good profile to play off up top. Could work if we are his break out club.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Brownhill to LCFC makes sense. Wants a challenge. The impending points deduction provides just that.

*Disclaimer - plenty of respect for all JB did for us.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Tidy.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

I'd too say unlikely. Know he is very highly rated, when fit, by Amorin and the Man U staff.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Hi misheard the fella and thought he said Birmingham, so laid into them with his Villa background.

Once he clocked on he made it clear Burnley are indeed a club of fine standing. Yes, he should have joined the dots earlier that talking about Brum was irrelevant.

Matt Scrafton says Trafford completed today for total of £31m.

'He only wanted Man City', as they say these days. (Or Newcastle, or whoever would pay).

Decent enough deal, especially given where we are with 10 games left in the last Prem season.

Congratulations on being right

No congrats needed, it was obvious.

I don't if we would or wouldn't have done, but over the years have seen predictions like yours, which at the end of the day didn't transpire to be correct 'I know you were talking in the general Row, I just feel first game of the season, after 100 points season, new signings, Saturday 3pm, new (ish...

I've been told that Cajuste is far more advanced than what is currently being reported, IE practically done.

Hope so - looks good.

Him and Sam Johnstone would be great.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

No Benson either anywhere unless I've missed it.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

JB has moved on.

He served us brilliantly over the years, and peaked at the end to get us over the line. Really stood up for us.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Jens cajuste who we’ve been linked with has started following Burnley on instagram, was linked a while back but nothing happened Looks a player too when you watch his reel, line breaker in midfield with powerful runs. Plus as we all previously discussed, really rates by ITFC fans. Hope we get him. ...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Do rate Rudoni too.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree Steddy and New.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

That's it Firthy. Offer £42m and it's taken out of our hands - a 'call option' in favour of Man City, in effect. Any lower, and we hold the cards, but we may will choose to accept if that's as high as they will go and we don't want to risk them leaving the negotiations and we are back at the behest ...

GrahamBranchsPerm

I know you were talking in the general Row, I just feel first game of the season, after 100 points season, new signings, Saturday 3pm, new (ish) stadium, it was a slam dunk, and worth the 'gamble'.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

On the potential Man City Trafford fee - they don't have to offer the buy out, obviously.

They are well within their rights to offer £33m or what ever, and say take it or leave it.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Fair challenge. Main reason is (a) (a) Gets 38 games as a big fish in a setting / system he knows and is comfortable in, beds into the Prem after last time's mixed bag. This compared to battling it out with Nick Pope or whoever, where a few cock up in front of baying Geordies means benched in a Worl...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Any chance City say to Trafford.

'Just stay at Burnley, play 38 games, and we take you at the end of the season. Be patient, that's the plan.'

Purely speculating, but that is what would be best for him ad their PSR.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Poor decision. We'd have shifted 3k.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree Xhaka going to Sunderland would be seriously good for them.

If they pull that off, I think it nudges them above ourselves and Leeds, as things stand.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Great thread and mems, was at most of these games.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Good digging fellas.

With you then that despite the build, ideally not one for us.

Post on Zeki‘s Insta talking about being patient.

Does not read like he had an injury.

Carlos. Absolute unit. Sign him for that reason alone. Affordable as went to Turkey for €10m.

GrahamBranchsPerm

People suggesting Berge are showing a massive lack of knowledge if they think there's any chance of him coming here. He's more likely to go to a top 6 club than to us, had a fantastic season for Fulham. Also people's expectations are way too high if they are disappointed at JBL coming into the squa...

GrahamBranchsPerm

All about opinions isn't it.

I rate him, and hope he signs. But I get it why others think he won't be up to it.

Time will tell, if he signs.

I also think it's sensible to think if we do go down, we very likely come back up, with him and Flemming.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

How long is his staff, Tall Paul?

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Interesting on Cajuste - looks like would be a good addition given that the ITFC fans seemed to rate him.

I did not watch that much Prem las year, as was too engrossed with the Clarets - anyone seen enough of him to comment on his abilities / how he would fit in? Josh Laurent upgrade assume?

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Would be very handy to retain him - our current back 5 (with the new lads), if they stay fit, gives us a chance of being competitive this year - it's front footed (full backs), fast, and all now have top level experience.

Very much hope we can keep it together.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Gave us hassle when he came on at the Turf.

Unit. Finisher.

Personally rate Sargent. Good player when fit. Aware most won‘t.

An immense signing and well done to the club for managing to keep it quiet. Going to be exciting to see who we bring in next.

Agree Steve.
Hope your hair is still in good order?

Great signing.

Equinox, any more brewing?

No not trying to be funny or anything, just feeding in some info.

Mr Barnes on the blower to Josh Sargent in the barbers telling him to join / good club etc.

I think he’s be a good signing if it happens and if we go back down has up right up there again.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

There is the odd rumour around Million Manhoef from Stoke - RB / RWB / RW.

Not inside info or anything, but half fits the bill if misheard.
