It’s a good question Jacko. I wish I had the answer as I have a couple of mates in a similar position. This is in my opinion something ISA and supporters groups should be banging on about. Not sure how Burnley are getting away with it either. 3 sides of the ground can put tickets on the exchange ye...

Here you go. It took me 2 minutes from a quick Google search: "I think he was a very astute signing who had been a versatile player off the back of a good season in a poor Burnley side. He started well with us with some very valuable contributions, especially in Europe and then some bugger raked th...

They were also in Europe when he signed. He was making an impact when coming off the bench and he was doing well in Europe, I watched a few of the games at the time. He's one of those who impacts games even when he wasn't playing well. Great end product and brilliant movement. I don’t think you wil...

He did well at Wesy ham before injury and did well at Genoa, to the extent that they've resigned him.

One of the most underrated players we've ever had

He’s only started three PL games for West Ham in three years so I’m not sure there is any evidence of him playing well for them.

I've made a slight change to the squad list on the site. Previously it was listed in three sections - first team, under-21s & under-18s. Those three are still there but I've now moved all the players currently out on loan from their respective positions into a fourth section for those players which ...

I feel I should apologise for my opening post and saying I was looking forward to seeing him.

Anyone got an netflix suggestions to watch

Not as much as the South African batsmen were looking forward to seeing him.

Baker 56 off four overs while Archer has gone for five at the other end.

ClaretTony

Yeah always found that an odd take, do away fans think that the players are all living on Leyland Road and spend their free time cavorting under the Culvert? Tom Heaton lived locally when we first signed him but he soon moved out. I would think Connor Roberts probably lives the closest, he’s next d...

I've been told that, as long as a deal agreement signed by both clubs was submitted before the deadline, the deal has an additional 24 hours, or possibly 2 days to be completed.

Just seen the score. Had to go out this afternoon and left with us 100/3.

We're playing week commencing 15th September, according to Sky. And we won't be on telly, according to me. They will pick (if they have 4 games) Sheff W v Grimsby, Wolves v Everton, Palace v Millwall, Barnsley v Brighton from our half of the draw. (That's a guess, not factual info.) https://www.sky...

Is sitting on Grimsby's bench better than playing regularly for our under 21s?

That’s the issue. Sam Waller is currently doing the same at Crewe. Same happened with Lukas Jensen when he went out on loan.

ClaretTony

Have things changed. I thought it was just a loan, and that the loan window didn't close for a week after the normal window. If it has changed we need to find him somewhere abroad. Saudi for a year with a £20 million loan fee would be perfect :D There hasn’t been a loan window in the Football Leagu...

Good luck Charlie.
Played really well in that last U21 game Clarets+ streamed.

You couldn't have asked more for your goalkeeper than his performance in that game at Liverpool

The window is shut. Nobody is going out on loan now.

Still potential for Delcroix, Trésor and Benson to go out on loan.

Does anyone know why it is taking so long for the club to announce on what date this game will be played? Is it due to sky dragging their heels with picking their games?

All games are televised in the League Cup but I don't think the main games have been selected yet.

Latest from Wales Online this morning:

It's understood the deal was not subject to a 'deal sheet', which suggests it was submitted before the deadline.

However, City are yet to receive official confirmation for the move, and are hoping for clarity in the coming hours.

ClaretTony

Good experience for the lad, good keeper I think. Feel a bit for the guy who had a fantastic game vs United though. It’s going to be a very young and inexperienced team competing in the PL2 this year. I would suspect Charlie is going as cover - Pym is very much first choice there. As for our under-...

It was Birmingham or Swansea yesterday and then it looked as if Swansea had gone through - maybe still will but hasn't as yet.

Last season was it not still possible to loan to EFL clubs for a short while after the window closed?

No - that's not been possible for a good few years now - they used to have an extended loan window but that's long gone.

Our transfer window has ended with the local press (just the Burnley Express now) being told they can stand down. Manuel Benson's loan move to Swansea, previously reported and on which I jumped, has still not been confirmed. I might have to be writing an "It's not happened," article tomorrow. Good n...

There could well be a few players being paid up after tonight in order to get them out of their clubs.

Remarkably similar to how Wissa treated Brentford in the end - who of course signed for the morally upstanding lambs that are Newcastle United.

I thought we were petty a couple of weeks ago with the PFA awards, not making any reference to Trafford (the Championship Player of the Year), Egan-Riley or Brownhill.

I have just re-read the official Michael Obafemi to Burnley announcement. It was initially a loan with the option to make it permanent (not mention of obligation). So what the hell happened there?

It was an obligation - I'm sure we'd have pulled out otherwise that summer.

I remember sat watching him at one under-21 game and thinking he wasn't good enough for that team. Not sure what it was that persuaded us to sign him.

It's not often a recall option is mentioned with a loan although it's often common place. Good move for him though to get some game time.
