Flying Without Ings

Unbelievable day and season - just sad we’re not in the championship for at least another year. Best league in the world and the most entertaining (partly because we never lose)

Clarets legend for me, and long may it continue. Gets the club, the fans and a solid professional

Agreed. There needs to be more Connor Roberts in football. Don’t take life too seriously and enjoy the good times

Flying Without Ings

As much as it pains some of you, I think we all have to congratulate Leeds and say well done for winning the league. You have to go back 5 years for the last time the Championship was won by a team who wasnt relegated from the Premier League the previous season which shows what an achievement it is...

Flying Without Ings

First time having a look at this forum in a long time. Good to see the longstanding traditions of bed-wetting are still upheld.

I recall Second Tier predicting Luton to finish top this season and winning at a canter. That's obviously going well...

Flying Without Ings

Looks like Ilan Kebbal who we were linked with earlier in the window.

Flying Without Ings

Looks as though the Sarmiento deal is going ahead.

Flying Without Ings

A loan literally makes no sense to us whatsoever.

I would play Hlasky in goal but we won't because a first team keeper brings more money than a reserve keeper, in a sale.

I would also carry on playing O'Shea, as he is far from gone.

Don’t wish to ruin your evening but he won’t be at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.

How much?

€9m, plus a sell on fee from what I’ve seen.

Flying Without Ings

Good fee and seems sensible for both parties but sad to see him go. That cross to Barnes against Rovers will live long in the memory.

Flying Without Ings

I fear for us in these dramatic turnover windows. Best players out and 'promise' in, is not sustainable on a football pitch. Too much disruption and learning to do. We may have save a few million this season, however, it could bite quickly and cost us £120 million or more. There was a lot of disrup...

Flying Without Ings

9m is excellent for a player who gave us half a good season overall and failed at Hull.

Flying Without Ings

I might be wrong but wasn’t it initially reported by Burnley that Esteve was an option to buy, but it became apparent it was an obligation? (Which, if the case, worked better for us).

Berge to Fulham

Source?

Flying Without Ings

Really rated AAD. Probably wasn’t prem-ready last season though. How much did we pay for him?

Sounds like we're going to have a seriously depleted squad and less money coming in that promotion is worth. Very risky, as if the players leaving do leave, playoffs is certainly more realistic than top 2.

Are deals for O’Shea or Berge close? And what’s to say we don’t replace them?

Flying Without Ings

Sacha reporting 37m pounds rather than euros plus add ons etc.

Flying Without Ings

Didn’t Spurs pay around 40/45m for Brennan Johnson? I’d argue Odobert has a far higher ceiling than him.

Flying Without Ings

Wow, that’s come out of nowhere. We have to be getting at least 30m surely.

Flying Without Ings

Just finished episode 1.

VK is obviously going to get a load of stick during this series but I thought he handled the Lyle situation brilliantly and Lyle seemed to suggest VK saved him.

Should be an entertaining chase this

Parker has been away from the game a bit so he will find it very difficult attracting any players of note.
We have a good young squad though that he can nurture through.

I doubt this makes any difference. Players are attracted by lots of things - money, location, playing time, league etc.

Flying Without Ings

So after all the commotion caused by Notts Forest, they want to keep it. Odd.

Flying Without Ings

No mention or appreciation of that unbelievable first season...guessing you weren't his biggest fan!

Shameful and embarrassing. His own player had to come and drag him up and he was still kicking off. We’d had all our substitution slots unfortunately.

Other than acting stupidly for a moment, was it a 3/10 performance?

Flying Without Ings

Feeling relatively positive. We’ve got a manager who has got us out the championship with ease before. I don’t think the championship will be any better quality than last season. We’ll lose a few players (as we did last time round) but the bulk of our squad are easily top end championship standard, ...

I'd fine him a months wages and let him train on his own. Absolute dosser.

Thought first half we were good. Final ball always seems to be poor though. Second half average.

Enjoyed Vitinho playing like an actual Brazilian today.

Really enjoyed the changing room and pre-match planning content. Could listen to Kompany all day.

Ramsey done, medical being sorted - David Orstein

Kompany’s box is above that section so his family probably want people to sit down in front of them so they can see better.

Could be an awkward conversation at the Kompany household then. He often advocates a loud as possible atmosphere.

Didn't they want about £25M for him 12 months ago

Can’t recall the price quoted but I’m sure Liverpool were sniffing around not too long ago.

Muric
Roberts - AAD - Beyer - Taylor
Brownhill - Cork
Redmond - Amdouni - Zaroury
Foster

(Assuming Cullen and Benson aren’t fit)

A loan is the best deal for us because I think he's worth keeping, McNally will be a 30m defender in two years time in my opinion, his style of play reminds me of A young Gary Cahill when he was on loan from Villa

Steady on.

Sheff Utd are getting only £13m for N’Diaye. That is mental.

Dead and buried.

why are they so skint after promotion?

Loan deal close for Lokonga - according to Sacha.

Happy days.

Think that’s my favourite announcement video as well.

These are really exciting signings. Transfer windows are so fun these days.

Hopefully Redmond tomorrow...

Flying Without Ings

Great, that really should motivate the current team!

Flying Without Ings

I don’t think Costelloe pulled up any trees at League Two Bradford City last season so he should be nowhere near a Prem squad at this stage.

Flying Without Ings

The thing that strikes me with this signing is just how much this one has gone under the radar! I seem to remember a few of our signings last year also being this way. Does this identify just how inaccurate some/most/all of the numerous ‘transfer rumours’ are? More to do with our huge shortlist of ...

‘Gustavo Hamer: Burnley want the midfielder, who is valued at about £15m by #ccfc. Structure of the deal is up for discussion. One year left on Hamer’s deal. Could be cash plus at least one player.‘

Sounds close, unless I’m misinterpreting. Would be a class signing.
