Scott Oakes.

williamjblazkowicz

Did anyone see that interview he did last week where they asked him how much he would be worth in today's market? He responded with 100m. The player who is most like him was Phil Foden. The lad is away with the fairies. He spent half of his career in the championship. He played 12 of 19 seasons in ...

I don't want anyone to get their hopes up but my sources tell me that we're close to signing Kyle Walker.

williamjblazkowicz

Terrible news, very sorry to hear. His brother also passed away in the crash. It's said it was caused by a tyre blowout while overtaking - is that quite an uncommon occurence? It's a terrifying thought, particularly if you're traveling at good speed on a motorway.

williamjblazkowicz

I like it. It looks pretty smart.

Article is behind a paywall but Mike McGrath from The Telegraph:

"Burnley target in-demand Genk striker and Premier League free agents
Newly promoted club tracking Tolu Arokodare while Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Callum Wilson and Jamie Vardy are possible options"

williamjblazkowicz

This is great news. Even if he's not playing a lot, his experience will be invaluable. We need leaders like him in the squad.

williamjblazkowicz

Do we know what the Ipswich fans made of him last season? From what I've read, they generally think he's a good player who made a significant contribution in their promotions season and put in some good performances at PL level too. Just that he's been a bit injury prone/and had some bad luck with ...

For the record Max knows Burnley have recently been promoted to the PL and will be in a better position to appreciate the difference between English and German football once he's actually played in England. He appreciates things being kept as simple and straightforward as possible for him, at least...

williamjblazkowicz

Thing is, william, Max has already signed for the club. So, this interview is just introducing him to the fans, it's not a job interview. Is asking a football player on some potential differences he sees between the German and English game solely a job interview question? Likewise for asking there'...

You make it sound like a job interview!

Well it's a new job and an interview so it isn't far off

This is just off the top of my head in a couple of minutes. The idea being that probably, with a bit of effort, the club could do a bit better in the player interview department.

williamjblazkowicz

I'll say it, the two young interviewers the club have are abysmal. Agreed. It basically consists of: How excited are you to be here? How excited are you about the Premier League? How excited are you about playing for Scott Parker? How excited were you to make your professional debut? How excited ar...

Very sad news to read. Val Kilmer is one of my favourite actors ever, largely due to how obsessed I was with Willow as a kid (I still love that film and watch it probably every year). He's in another of my favourite films, Heat, and was excellent in Tombstone. I must get round to watching The Doors ...

williamjblazkowicz

One of my favourite ever players. Find it hard to relate to the current crop as I did back when Barnes was a mainstay in our team.

Windows Defender is perfectly adequate these days. A lot of people choose to couple this with Malwarebytes Free.

williamjblazkowicz

Hi Eve, welcome aboard! I'm terrible at drawing myself but I like yours -- they seem to capture the moments well! As for Joe Worrall, I think he'll quickly become a fan favourite here at Burnley. All the best!

I thought we did pretty well considering the squad upheaval. First half was impressive and, as others have said, second half was a tougher test once Rovers were sitting back with 10 men. Credit to them, they defended well and had the better chances (great goal too). There was no lack of commitment f...

Does anyone have a decent video of Flemming's goals and assists for Millwall? I'm surprised I can't really find anything on YouTube. All of his compilation clips seem to be from his previous clubs which is strange when you consider the number of goals he got for Millwall.

williamjblazkowicz

I don't think Mike Tresor's move to Nice will go ahead. Remember, he's very injured and very poorly.

williamjblazkowicz

Does anyone remember all the excitement when we were starved for signings and thought Kamil Grosicki was joining us? Didn't we even track his flight to Manchester? Only for it all to fall through of course. Hopefully there'll be no such disappointments today!

williamjblazkowicz

Comes across as a bit of a dodgy guy this Sacha Tavolieri. Appears to be trying to do the work of agents and manipulate moves. A lot of our players must have agents who are pally with him. I wonder how much he makes for each tweet he posts trying to stir things up?

Laughable is better than derisory, isn't it?

I think so, yes, because at least someone got a chuckle out of it. Burnley FC: making the world a happier place.

Sure, but no one on here has any idea what is happening in the background.

True. I suppose it all makes for a very interesting last couple of days before the deadline!

williamjblazkowicz

I'd be delighted if we can get that kind of money for Foster. It's silly money for a striker who doesn't score goals. The concern of course is how we're going to replace all of these departures because we're giving ourselves a lot of work to do with very little time left.

So he’s been ill, but now he’s well enough for a loan move?

Sounds a lot like when Berge had a knock.

williamjblazkowicz

Well, we deserve that. We've been shocking.

williamjblazkowicz

They're all over us.

williamjblazkowicz

We do have better, but he's obviously not fit enough or clued up enough yet having signed what - yesterday? O'Shea wants to leave. It's football, it happens to every club. Has it all happened at once for Burnley this summer? Yeah, a bit. But you only need to have followed football for about fifteen...

williamjblazkowicz

He had a good spell at Hibs, and was highly rated at Man City. Time for him to step up. Whatever may transpire this is a great opportunity, and experience, for our younger players. Yes, was just saying to my Dad that to be fair to him he's only 21. Thought he was older for some reason - feels like ...

They are.

Thanks ecc. And to be fair, they may be very promising! Bit taken aback by this team though.

williamjblazkowicz

How do we not have better than Egan-Riley? That's a worrying sign to me. Where has the guy been last couple of seasons?

*Checks Wikipedia*

Hibernian and Jong PSV

williamjblazkowicz

It's a sign of the times when I have no idea who so many of the squad are. Hugill, McDermott, Masara? Never heard of them! Can only assume they're youngsters?

williamjblazkowicz

That's O'Shea gone then I assume, based on recent reports and central defensive additions.

Love the guy to bits, but I switched off after “it’s an exciting project”….

Probably a bit unprofessional to just admit he's only going for the money though so I don't blame him!

That isn't my opinion. It is what quite a lot of people on here think. Read properly what I wrote.

To be fair, what you wrote could easily have been interpreted as your opinion.

williamjblazkowicz

Doubt there's anything in Brownhill going. I can get on board with most of the departures but that would just be plain daft. We need his experience, his know-how (his goals!). We can't keep turning over the squad like we're currently doing and expect it to be successful long-term. There has to be a ...

williamjblazkowicz

I'm sorry to see him go, as I will be with Al-Dhakil if he also moves on. Felt like they were both very much part of our future at one time.

That Zaroury reveal video from RC Lens is excellent.

williamjblazkowicz

How did he manage to complete his medical if he was injured? Was he not actually injured or was it just a case of him working his way back until he could pass it?

I’m sure he’ll just be known as ‘Bash’. Not even Burnley fans can get that wrong!

I can see the headlines now when we play Portsmouth and he completely dominates their striker, Colby Bishop.

I’m only 2 hours away from there. It’s bloody hot so should be some good training for them.

40 mins for me! It has been ridiculously hot the last couple of days and more of the same today I think.

williamjblazkowicz

Nimani was the one that first came to mind for me but already mentioned! I did hear a rumour back at the time that he was wanted by police after running across train tracks or something like that. Can't remember all the details. That came from someone very close to the manager at the time!

Now at the training ground, Scott Parker has embraced a sophisticated sporty look. He's opted for a navy blue Castore zip-up hooded top, exuding a blend of modern athleticism and high-fashion sensibility. The sleek garment offers both comfort and a refined aesthetic, perfectly suited for hands-on tr...

williamjblazkowicz

Interesting that Scott Parker opted for a classic shirt and suit jacket for his club interview, showcasing a timeless and professional look. But for the presser, he's freshened things up with a light grey jumper, adding a touch of casual sophistication. It's like he's channeling a blend of business ...

Hjulmand was exciting, but only on paper. His club record is nothing to shout about and he knows zilch about the Championship.

Woah, woah. Let's not be introducing reasoned argument into proceedings.

williamjblazkowicz

I do wonder if, aside from the fact that Scott Parker has had success with two promotions from the Championship, one differentiating factor between him and perhaps Lampard is how they've spent their time away from football? I'd be interested to know what Parker has been doing but it doesn't seem to ...

williamjblazkowicz

I think there's a few here who would rather have a foreign name even if that manager has had less success than Parker. I don't think he was our first choice - I do wonder if we had our hearts set on RVN - but I imagine Parker was up there because he's in a small club of managers who've been promoted...

williamjblazkowicz

You should always be ready for this eventuality and have targets in place ready to move. We shouldn’t be taking time, we should have been prepared. I suppose that regardless of how prepared we are, we still have to actually hold the interviews and that can itself change our thinking if someone does...
