Why would we be worried about his fitness? He played 65 minutes vs Derby. Parker has explained this really clearly in interviews. Both he and Ugochukwu came in without having had pre-seasons, but with Ugochukwu ahead of him in terms of fitness, for some reason. Broja will have a personal fitness pla...

Odd one. Clearly a temporary move until Beard goes in there but why would you leave a contract with 12 months to go for a short term gig, I don’t know. Leicester must’ve offered huge money.

NewClaret

Where does it say that? Don’t think it does. My reading between the lines is that the Burnley Express Benson, Tresor and Delcroix all depart, which leaves 26 in the squad - 1 too many. Two are Beyer and Amdouni though, who possibly won’t be registered so that might leave one spare spot. There’s a c...

Up and coming potential: Tchaouna, Hartman Premier league ready: Dubravka, Walker, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luis (hopefully) Point to prove: Broja, Tuanzebe, JBL Feel you’ve been a bit harsh there to be honest. Hartmans performances to date would suggest to me he’s Premier League ready, JBL was our hi...

7/10 for me. Many excellent signings and importantly some real experience at very reasonable prices (Dubravka, Walker, Tuanzebe and JBL). Reasons for not giving full marks was: - Did some good squad trimming yesterday, but failed to offload fringe players permanently and bring more cash in. Benson, ...

NewClaret

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.

NewClaret

So if I’m reading the above correctly, we’ve now got a squad of 24 leaving one potential free spot?

NewClaret

Luton are in talks with Burnley over potential deal for CB Teden Mengi. The 23yo is an option at Turf Moor as they look to strengthen Scott Parker's squad #BurnleyFC @TeleFootball #LTFC 🎩 Interesting. There was a report on here that he got injured in a friendly and the players told the fouling pla...

Liverpool are going to be a tough first game back after the break if they get all the signings they are rumoured to be bringing in.

Was always going to be so, really, just even harder now.

Have to hope they throw them all in first game and look a bit dysfunctional, but can’t see them doing that.

NewClaret

Tresor has Pace by the you know what’s and seems more than happy to do very little and accept what I guess is a pretty large salary No doubting his ability but it’s of no use if he doesn’t want to play Interesting post, let’s see what pans out today but I am not sure who really holds the cards as y...

NewClaret

Villa apparently signing Elliot, Sancho and Lindelof. Not sure Lindelof massively improves them defensively but the other two will from an attacking perspective. Watching them last night I thought they might be in a bit of trouble this season and get drawn in to it but when you can do that the next ...

NewClaret

Leicester looking to sign Aaron Ramsey from us on loan. Not one I’d be surprised about, needs to get playing again. Unless Tresor is staying, which I really can’t imagine (or we’re signing another 10, which I equally can’t imagine), feel this is a bit of a mistake. Going very light on creativity in...

NewClaret

Stop messing around & sign Sargent ffs! We need a proper striker & for our budget you ain't going to get better! With the form Foster is in, 3 in 3 were it not for some very harsh/close VAR calls, I couldn’t see Sargent displacing him. Foster/Broja will be our main forward options to choose from, I...

Do we have a recall option on him or do St Pauli have a buy option or neither ? Can’t find this info

Don’t know on the recall, I assume we would put one in as standard.

No buy option reported.

NewClaret

That most certainly won't be the case. The likes of Etikite and Woltemade didn't cost the fortune solely because of their Bundesliga record. For example, Ekitike is a talented player, covers multiple positions, has a potential to become world class - that's why Liverpool wanted him, not because he ...

NewClaret

To give a bit of context Woltemade, Sesko and Ekitike have all just sold for over 65m after scoring a grand total of: Woltemade - 12 Bundesliga goals Sesko - 13 Bundesliga goals Ekitike - 15 Bundesliga goals If Hountondji does anything like 15 goals this season we could be getting a transfer record...

Great club . St Pauli . Is this the model in practice ? Increases his value whilst on loan and sell him for decent fee ? Have said for a while that this is exactly the model I think they’re looking to deploy. Why have a squad of 25 players, half hardly playing, leaving about 11-15 that are growing ...

NewClaret

Don't know anything about Etienne, never seen him play, haven't read any reports on him and couldn't tell you what we bought him for or sold him for, but what I do know is that it appears to be the kind of transfer that needed luck for it to work. Playing an expensive game that relies on luck to ma...

Not sure why you'd want to incur such huge costs for something that doesn't generate any money for the club.. I think Everton will discover this sooner rather than later by keeping Goodison going..

But, placed on gardening leave? Pace has said they are “disappointed by Matt’s decision” so guess it’s his choice to go. Maybe there are reasons? Not given promised funds to make signings? Assuming he’s just got a better offer, gardening leave may be because his other offer is from a direct competi...

100% know they have recently been looking into building a brand new ground on the land the club own on Molly Wood Lane in Hapton…

If that is the case and it’s the land I think you mean, my guess would be it’s a smaller ground for the Academy/Women’s team, which would be absolutely brilliant.

44 acres the club own on Molly Wood Lane which is on the border of Rosegrove/Hapton. Accesible from Liverpool Rd. (Just over from Rosegrove Railway station)

Always wondered where that was. Is it the land accessed via Lower Rosegrove Lane?

NewClaret

For me the newer 2 stands are cheap, badly built monstrosities. In an ideal world i'd bulldoze them first and start again but that won't be happening. Agree entirely with this, but do think they could be made to look a lot better if they: 1) joined the Longside and Jimmy Mac together with a corner ...

Superb win. Absolutely delighted with that, especially with so many younger lads in the team.

It really is quite sad seeing Espanyol fans getting so excited online that JJ Watt wore an Espanyol scarf and drank a beer with them.

My son and grandchild ( both long standing Burnley ST holders) went to the Espanyol-Athletico match last night.

Nice stadium, beautiful city, far greater chance at remaining in the top flight- Espanyol ticks a lot of boxes. What they don’t have is the TV money coming in, which is where we fit in. It’ll be very interesting to see if we loan them any players before the window shuts. Koleosho perhaps, maybe Tre...

Some of our transfer dealings have been awful. Dishing out 4 year contracts to the likes of Sambo and Churlinov. Hopefully lessons have been learnt.

Bet Victor have Burnley priced up at 33/1 as a probable destination for Vardy so that is probably a non starter to be honest.

Yes, my point was I think you can assign but not buy. I think the validation on the site works on click through vs when assigning (which is a bit daft really).

Really don’t want us to spend £20m on Sargent. Per posts above, I’d much rather we go for Vardy on a free as an option from the bench.
