Or Dosh Brownhill, if you look at it the other way.

I think the idea of the thread is pretty clear, it's regarding how people currently feel about the players we have brought in - not to judge it in 2 months time. It’ll be interesting to revisit it, nearer to Christmas. For now, it’s an 8 from me. Love that we look more well covered and balanced tha...

Brilliant reveal video!

Was it? I watched it and thought it was a pretty crap. Perhaps we need to mix it up a bit, now.

The clicks and giggles reveals aren’t aimed at me, I get that.

DCWat

Plenty positives to take from that second half, alongside plenty of learnings defensively, throughout the game. Whatever the view of the penalty, Anthony shouldn’t have given that option by pulling his shirt. I still think we are 3 players short and need to look at Hannibal. I’m not criticising his...

Really good player for us and was/is a massive miss. The one player VK got right, had attitude, ability and loyalty. Questioning a South American player wanting to make the move he did is bonkers. It isn’t his fault they’re skint. Hope he goes to the very top . I wasn’t a fan of VK, a few months af...

Looks a lot more rapid in that clip than I’d realised. Very good finish from such a tight angle.

DCWat

Had Walker not signed for us, there would be no clamour for him to be in the squad, so no arguments from me. If he puts in some quality performances between now and the next selection time, maybe that will change, but for now, fair do’s. I’ve seen nothing of Henderson so can’t really comment, but it...

Good to see a few of the injured players making their way back, not to mention, a rare sighting of the lesser spotted Tresor.

DCWat

A right wing back would be my top priority. I think we are fine at centre half, once Humphries is back in. New, Walker, Esteve, Humphries, Hartman looks like a pretty good back five to me, with plenty options for cover. After that it would be an extra defensive midfielder and potentially, depending ...

DCWat

In isolation we might have accepted the bid from Wolves, but the fact that we were absolutely haemorrhaging players at the time made it difficult to do. Think we all expected him to make more of an impact on the pitch, too. Fair point regarding the number of players departing, at the time. Presumab...

You are correct it is bang out of order. Some of them are female and therefore don’t have knobs to polish

Some of the ones with partners might.

I didn’t realise until I went into one in Leeds, the other week. Exactly the same inside and still with Smiths branded items for sale.

The only noticeable difference seemed to be how dull it was in the store. Not sure if they had a lighting issue or are trying to cut costs by reducing the leccy bill!

DCWat

Should, with hindsight have been sold last summer, when his stock was high and there was apparent interest. If our model is to buy young and cheap, we’ve got to get better at identifying when to sell. The same could have been said for the likes of Benson and Zaroury, the summer before. I get that it...

Of course you do because you support Burnley CC……I don’t I think it’s shocking that the CC is unlikely to offer an inch to the club because it’s bank rolling it. The CC is a parasite. The FC is the host. The FC could and should try its best to remove the financial benefits the CC gain from being ne...

Landing this now, a few days before the first home game must mean that there’s a **** hot, dogs ******** of a signing being announced tomorrow! In all seriousness though, it won’t just impact those now being made to walk right around the ground. Those exiting the CFS and Bob Lord, who don’t head tow...

Apart from the obvious that you neglected to mention the hollandaise.

It ain’t for me, but more palatable than the mushy peas mentioned further up the thread.

So we have now signed 4 players bro,hart,tuz and dub with questionable fitness records, bash, zian,connor,,zeki, beyer , tresor , benson all injured,an older gentleman who will be good for the dressing oh and a player who didn't want to play for us two seasons ago but now wants to play in EPL.

I think we'll see at least one more. Parker’s ‘a couple of areas’, or however he phrased it, would suggest two or three more. Having filled key areas and brought together one of the most balanced looking squads (on paper) that we’ve had for some time, I suspect that further signings will be towards...

Didn’t Wrexham and Birmingham have a request to have their league game played in America rejected last season? I seem to remember the FA refused as it would set an unhealthy precedent. If any evidence was needed of American owners not understanding British football, or perhaps more worryingly, not ...

Thats exactly what they did..... lied to us about what foods were good for us and got everybody onto ultra processed shiiite. Vapes really are bad news for us especially kids - its a drug that seems to be legal and nobody is interested in controlling it - absolute epidemic. And I’d suggest vapes ar...

DCWat

Agreed, but kids are getting into vaping at 14/15 through peer pressure - not sure they would've done the same with cigarettes. In York and probably most towns and cities vapes are being sold over the counter illegally to schoolkids - even turkish barbers are selling them and who knows whats in the...

That’s a real shame, I think we could do with him before Christmas.

I’m all good with that, DC….but not sure if you’re getting me mixed up with someone else? I’m happy to be corrected but can’t think of a time where I have posted anything critical on this message board about the medical or recruitment team.

My friend who is in his eighties might have stop coming to the games if that pathway is closed to home fans. He's been attending for over 70 years, but it would likely be just too far for him to walk three times the distance all the way around. Compare and contrast that with Sunderland’s free ticke...

DCWat

Really pleased with our transfer approach, this window. A mixture of youth and experience, some potentially exciting prospects and targeting key areas. I’ve lost count of the number of previous windows when, despite decent signings, there has always looked to be a glaring void in one area of the pit...

These type of things demonstrate the challenge that BFCISA and perhaps the FAB has. Appreciating that these decisions were pre BFCISA, why not consult with the fans groups available to them. OK so they may be doing it anyway, but I don’t see what benefit it serves (other than perhaps from a time per...

£0 fee + £100k/week x 3 years = £15.6 million Purchase someone similar for £10 million & pay them £50k/week for 3 years = £17.8 million and I think you'd be lucky tget a JB equivalent for £10 million or get him to play in the EPL for only £50k/week. Now do the numbers make more sense to you? The nu...

I just had a quick look on saintsweb to see what they made of him, I wish I hadn’t bothered now! They’re almost polar opposite to the comments from Chelsea fans. I suppose the concern is that he may well look good in a team full of top quality players… In a team with less quality and fighting relega...

DCWat

It’ll be interesting to see what the agreed approach is for BFCISA to communicate with the club. Good to read that the suggestion of utilising the FAB was politely and rightly declined, if perhaps slightly concerning, that it was put forward as a suggestion.

Has the club committed to future meetings?

I'm quite pleased with our business now (if Dubravka, Big Les and Broja are definites), I think we have enough to give it a good go.

Being greedy, I’d still like another attacking option.

Got to love that the blame is thrown at those moderating and not the bickerers that are spoiling the transfer thread, and other threads, for everyone else.

I think everyone who purchased a ticket in the cricket field stand should ask for some sort of concession from the club, a nice discount perhaps. There's absolutley no chance the club can sell you a specific seat and then change it- especially given it's demonstrably a worse view in some areas. I'd...

Nice message and the best of luck to him, wherever that may be. He’d have been useful this season, more so next, if we don’t survive, but I do think it’s probably the right time to move on, for him and for us. It’s probably fair to say that he’s divided opinion, certainly at Premier League level, bu...

DCWat

Even if Brownhill did sign back on, we would still need another midfielder. We really need another for the holding roll. Equally, we really need to bring a striker in.

So, assuming Trafford has gone, we need a minimum of three, ideally all of better quality than we have.

Is kalvin Phillips injured? He’s one player I was talking about with my lad as maybe being an option on loan, I mentioned it when Leeds agreed a deal for Longstaff, whos now signed and then today agreed a fee for the centre mid from Germany.

Game time is probably most important for Koleosho, now. With him not counting towards the 25, I’d definitely prefer to keep him, but if we don’t think he’s going to get the opportunities, a loan might be the best option. I certainly wouldn’t be looking to sell, unless we need to from a financial per...

JBL would be a decent addition. I don’t disagree that it’s not necessarily a priority area, but that’s to be judged once we’ve completed the rest of our business. Assuming it’s a permanent deal and he’d be happy to stay if the worst came to the worst, he’d likely tear the Championship up. Hopefully ...
