“There are also talks underway about live-streaming Burnley pre-season games on X”.

This would be handy.

agreenwood

It’s problematic, but all the main football news and content remains on X. If that’s where most fans are still going to engage with football, it’s not hard to understand why the club have chosen to partner with them to increase exposure. There’s no bigger demonstration of the quandary than The Athle...

I'm evaluating it on its own merits, and it simply doesn't justify this level of hype or platform. Countless exceptional women athletes and sports receive far less promotion, and that shootout was laughably amateur. It’s “platform” is probably based on the fact that female football is now the most ...

That love-in is from people who really cannot see any pitfalls whatsoever and people who cannot see any fault whatsoever in the way our club was bought or is run. If it wasn't a serious matter, it would be laughable. Thankfully we have a good manager who knows what's needed and let's hope he gets t...

I’m not remotely interested in the fortunes of Espanyol and the social media love-in currently taking place between the two sets of fans is frankly bizarre. No doubt it’ll soon sour once one of the two clubs becomes subservient to the other. What I’m interested in is getting our team ready for a tou...

Not sure how reliable they are, but there are some reports than Sargent is joining Wolfsburg for €16m.

La Liga clubs can have 6 players in on loan, but only 3 from the same club.

The biggest difference is that they are the 9th biggest club in Spain by attendance last season whereas were were the 14th biggest in the Championship. Not sure the size of the club relative to your league is that relevant, particular in country almost completely (and forever) dominated by just two...

Wow. Obviously a shocking act. But they are really heavy sentences. People literally get less for taking a life or other serious violent crimes. In my line of work I’ve certainly seen individuals convicted of GBH and Sexual Assault receive shorter stints. That said, they’ll only serve 40% of it und...

**** me lads.

Swap mobile numbers and take it somewhere the rest of us don’t need to read it.

Im not sure that's a scenario that I could personally tolerate. Me neither. On the face of it, they’ve got a nicer stadium, slightly bigger average attendances and probably got more chance of finishing in a European spot with less outlay, but unless we’re talking Champions League, even a very succe...

agreenwood

Seems to be the school of thought in the Spanish media that Espanyol will be the longer term senior partner in this deal which fills me with nothing but dread.

We can only hope it’s nothing more than a a bit of hollow briefing to butter up the Espanyol fans.

Is he going to Germany?

The Athletic think so

agreenwood

Chris Wood cost us £15m back in 2017. He was also 25 at the time and had very little Premier League experience.

As I said above, if the club genuinely believe he can deliver for us in the top flight, £20m doesn’t seem that big a gamble 8 years later.

agreenwood

Sounds like Sargent could be off to Wolfsburg.

The average number of goals scored by the 4 teams finishing 14-17th in 2024-25 was 52 (and it was skewed by Spurs scoring 64 – more than several teams in the top 8). In 2023-24 it was 49. In 2022-23 it was 38 and in 2021-22 it was 45. Obviously it also depends on how good we are defensively (as Spur...

They are playing very well though. Ripping PSG to shreds at the minute.

I don’t doubt it, but if they win the cup, it’ll probably say something about the timing and conditions of the competition. They are clearly a good side, but hardly the best in the world.

agreenwood

I’m going to take some convincing that Chelsea are the best club side in the world.

Massengo to Augsburg for €3m according to Tavoliera

Turkish press reporting the Carlos deal as a potential loan.

agreenwood

We do seem to have some rough luck with injuries. At any one time over the last few seasons it’s felt like we’ve had 2-3 long term injuries to content with. Not sure how that compares to other clubs.

agreenwood

Why is it only Turkish media reporting it? Amdouni has been the Besiktas fans’ obsession all summer after it came out that his family were supporters. Since then they’ve been speculating that he could join them without any real substance, in the way only Turkish fans seem to be able to do. This sto...

So says Turkish media. Big blow if true..

We'd love to have Scott Parker on the pod or any of the current staff or players - and yes, it's not for want of trying. The club obviously prefer to have their staff on their own channels - which I completely understand and it is an approach which is common to most English clubs unfortunately. We'...

What questions do you want answers to? It’s a generic point. The questions will vary from month to month. This board currently has lots of questions about how the stadium, but nobody is asking them, because there’s no forum to do it. An awful lot of prolonged conjecture could be avoided if the club...

agreenwood

And rightly so! It's not even professional media outlets anymore that can manipulate info, but every Tom, Dick & Harry with social media nowadays. Why would they want someone at the club make a comment that's then taken out of context & people start perceiving the club/said person in a negative way...

agreenwood

There'd probably be more if a chance of getting someone like pace or Williams on if there wasn't an ex employee that the current regime sacked on there. I just don’t think modern football clubs like the idea of not controlling the message. They don’t want to be asked tough questions. It’s not just ...

Wouldn’t be a massive surprise if we’re waiting for Oxlade-Chamberlain to extract himself from his Besiktas contract.

I watch a few Burnley related podcasts, but that's about my limit so I'm not up to date with other clubs fans podcasts, is having current employees a thing on these podcasts? I think a few EFL club pods seem to be able to get club employees on, but I suspect the higher up the pyramid you go, the ra...

The incident took place 5 months ago.

These things may well take time to resolve, but 5 months seems excessive.

Yeh I think Tresor may be the other to go with Benson. Really want Tresor to prove his worth if he’s fit but it seems highly unlikely. Even if he’s now fully recovered from whatever it was that ailed him, he’s barely kicked a ball for two years. A Premier League relegation scrap is probably not the...

Good pod, but he’s done that many since he left us that I’m not sure he said anything new. He’s clearly got a massive ego, but most successful managers have. That level of self belief is what helps make them great. It’s a shame that none of the Burnley podcasts seem to have any chance of getting any...

agreenwood

That’s a fair point, but I would argue it’s a waste of resources purely in the respect that it’s our most resourced area of the pitch. I would go as far as saying I think it’s actually the last position on the pitch we needed another body Well that largely depends on Parker and the clubs plans for ...

agreenwood

Arguing that this is a waste of resources is really only valid if JBL has been signed instead of or at the expensive of positions of more need. I’m not sure we really needed another wide man either, but I’m pretty sure his arrival will have zero bearing on whether we strengthen the central midfield ...

agreenwood

I can’t be the only one gutted that benson just can’t keep fit. He was by far my favourite player the promotion season under vk. He’s got a real talent that is barely seen these days. The wingers we have now are surely enough. Plus the lad from lazio. I just can’t see JBL starting over Edwards or A...

Harsh on Palace given Lyon’s finances.

Forest complaints win the day again. I see they have also complained about Morgan Gibbs-White’s move to Spurs too.

agreenwood

Two of the biggest concerns coming into the PL was whether we’d be able to significantly upgrade the centre of midfield and strike force.

We’ve touched neither so far.

Feels very Burnley summer 2023 for Sunderland. Let’s see if it turns out any differently.

Think there's a bit of exaggeration here. How many of Brentfords first 11 were 25 million plus? Genuine question I have no idea but I'd imagine most were less than 25 mill It was signings in the last few seasons, not players who have been there ages. The point of the data I saw that very few player...

agreenwood

Agree with this as well. That’s the stand out deal from a cost perspective. Been trying to find it again since I read it, but there’s some recent data on how many footballers signed for a fee under €20m in the last few years played regularly for a club that finished above 18th. The answer was very,...

agreenwood

Can’t see any evidence yet that we’re spending more than we have previously. In fact, to date we’re on track to spend a lot less in transfer fees than we did two years ago. Two of our best players last year obviously weren’t impressed enough with what we’ve offered to renew their contracts. Only Wal...

Spurs fan sites now saying there’s been no contact over Esteve.

Does anyone know if Cajuste is thought to have played well for Ipswich last year? He clearly made a sufficient enough impression for them to want him back, but it’s obviously a higher demand in the premier league. Not sure, but it looks like Napoli are after what has become our “going rate” for inc...

agreenwood

Didn't Esteve intimate recently how much he loves the club, how much they have done for him and he will be playing for us next season, or words very much to that affect? I don’t think we live in a world any more where there’s a great deal of loyalty, even on the back of a successful season. Footbal...

And you trust an Ipswich fan site?

Nope. Just posting a new link and pointing out that he hasn’t joined Besiktas as predicted.

agreenwood

If Esteve and Trafford did go, you’d have to expect the club to sanction a few deals that broke our transfer record, either to replace them or strengthen elsewhere.

Staying in the Prem is tough enough, without offloading your best players and trying to survive on the cheap.

agreenwood

I think to lose both centre backs and the GK from last season would be hard to put a positive spin on, no matter how much money we get.

I’ve come to terms with Trafford leaving, but selling Esteve as well starts to smack of us revisiting last summer.

agreenwood

The big agent puppet had Cajuste on the cusp of a move to Besiktas over the weekend, but it sounds like he never wanted to go.

Turns out the “here we go” loon gets fed duff information like any other chancer on X.

agreenwood

The big Ipswich fan site thinks we’re the most likely to sign Cajuste..
