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.

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

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.

UTC.

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...

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.

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?

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

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

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

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.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Think Conroy's list / wish list is about right.

I do hope Worrall and Beyer can cover SH though. And hoping CJ stays.

And try and get an emerging striker from the continent / maybe the fella from Millwall if he is up to it.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Thanks from here too chaps.

Debate is always good, as are some of the hilarious arguments.

Agree other Boards so hard to stick with, with the ads. Shout out to Blades board there.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Very sad to read.

GrahamBranchsPerm

I think we play Laurent as Vini S is a fair old beast and also JL that bit more experienced and finally Hannibal more technical and more of a risk taker which we may need if we go behind. Otherwise I really hope we play our normal game (Edwards etc) and trust ourselves, as the better team, to at lea...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Calm as they come.

Humble winner.

Embrace him.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Very happy not to be playing any more relegation threatened teams. Fighting to avoid a wage reduction / having a relegation on your CV - I think is fair to say is pretty motivating. Predictably, as is the case every season, these games prove just as hard as playing a top 3 team, at the end of the se...

Legend, one of the best Clarets in my lifetime (43).

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Trafford / Cullen. Hard to choose, would screw us.

Roberts getting injured would not help.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Humble, well liked by the players, and capable.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Sure they will sell very fast.

Top support.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Leeds win for me, but I understand people saying draw too.

Sheff U win would be bad.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Yup I think Bill has it.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

It’s a brilliant draw.

UTC.

GrahamBranchsPerm

Karlan Grant improves us imho.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Selling CJ ER would kill us. And I do rate Worrall.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Think it shows momentum can be a big thing in football. Beating them 4 1 maybe set us one way, and them the other.

Agree we could do alot worse than any of those three, but Morris > Adebayo for me.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Personally think Carlton Morris is pretty good at this level and does score. If I had to pick one of the Luton duo, would defo be him.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Great share. Awesome.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Even though he played the 120 yesterday let's give him 30s (on as a sub) and 65s (starts) from the left. If he does play up top, as mentioned, not back to goal, we need to have the confidence to release the ball, play the channels. We are playing with a bit more freedom now, probably because we know...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Personally rate Carlton Morris, think he would be good for us.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

So my 93 / 94 looks too high based on history. But 92 is the run rate as things stand - see us and Sheff (and that's ignoring Sheff's 2 point deduction). Leeds are marginally above. Guess it generally drops second half of the season though as the lower placed teams get more desperate at the end and ...

In today's world, unfortunately it's a case of go woke or go broke.

I think it indicates the top 4 (and I possibly rather arrogantly think Sunderland, despite playing great footy, may just drop off) are a fair way ahead of the rest, so *more* points will be needed, as more points are being taken from the rest of the league. Hopefully things do slow down a bit, and i...

GrahamBranchsPerm

I hear you Stonehouse, does look like it might take 93 / 94 points though this year to grab 2nd. Not trying to nit pick, just seems that it will take a bit more than usual, last year aside. 92 points and your 50/50 I reckon to go up.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Could well indirectly come down to the game with Sheff U at the Turf.....

They should have our respect, it's very tight.

Maybe our great recent head to head record helps us here mentally, we defo 'know' we can beat them.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

Woodley, Hamer won't be off. He is a match winner in the Champ, as good as anything at this level, and will be of no interest to Prem team's with his gut. O Hare is really coming to the boil too at the mo, to be fair. I think we have the edge, and much better squad depth as things stand, but they wi...

GrahamBranchsPerm

It's a seemingly 4 horse race and they (Sheff U) are a big threat, no doubt. And they have players coming back. Soutter a big miss though. But, IF we keep the defence (no sales) / Cullen / Laurent pivot together / fit, we have a huge chance, as money can't really buy what has been formed there. Not ...

GrahamBranchsPerm

I really think he's a player. Especially when not booked early. As some one else pointed out he can take the ball on the half turn and break lines. But the exciting thing is we seem to have found how to fit him in. Again, as many have pointed out, the Arfield type role. Unconventional wide player wh...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree NewClaret it's important but that was Leeds first or second goal in Donkey's from a corner. They have real issues too in this regard. Ironically Roden gets stick off their fans for being useless in the opponents box. Think this is a part of what now makes Arsenal so good - good technical footb...

Ardent Clarets no doubt. Obviously from the south originally but big commitment to the cause.

RIP Sylvia.

Thought he did well on the deck but was exposed a good few times in the air yesterday. Esteve too (Ugbo chance they were both passive / napping), and on a few more occasions same from CJ. Sure we can keep learning though and defo not trying to have a go at CJ. He has stepped up well enough and seems...

GrahamBranchsPerm

Agree, legend and decent pundit and bats for us hard.

UTC

GrahamBranchsPerm

He’s done OK. He’s a Claret. And fully behind him. But…. Strikers like Kieffer Moore will murder him in the air. Totally agree his passing is slow and he can be ponderous. Yes I would far rather have Egan or Worrall. And even Humphries I think at CH. Who I think has been very average at RB. Roberts ...
