Dyche’s team had 12 points at the halfway stage and comfortably stayed up as I recall.

Arrived in Chesterfield today!

It’s a shame Zeki got injured as I imagine we would have pocketed £12-15m for him. Hopefully somebody takes the obvious (Tresor, Benson, Obafemi, Delcroix, Churlinov) off us even if just on loan. Very happy to see Broja confirmed - let’s hope the lad has a healthy, injury free season. I think that i...

jedi_master

Wonder if it's over relegation wage drop/get out etc - you'd imagine that is a sticking point with a lot of our signings.

jedi_master

Really good signing in my opinion and a one year deal keeps him keen as I am sure we will retain him if he performs. Age doesn't bother me with keepers particularly - look how well the likes of Brad Friedel, Edwin Van Der Sar and many others performed past 35.

jedi_master

On paper, some really good energy in the middle with Les, Hannibal and Cullen. I'd definitely like to see another head come in though, maybe that's greedy but I think it's such an important position and we need to prepare for any eventualities like injury and suspension. Eriksen would be ideal but i...

jedi_master

I have felt we need another centre mid even with Ugochukwu coming in - I’d not turn down Eriksen on a free transfer. I think this mix of experience and potential profit/return is ideal for us this summer. Players like Walker, Dubravka, Eriksen could be the difference makers to keep us up that all im...

jedi_master

Gone a bit quiet on Broja, should he not be announced by now?

jedi_master

I have no issue with a player being honest, and frankly lets hope he is right! If we end up flogging him for £30m+ in a year then it's clearly been a success for all parties. The reality though is that it is for him to prove that Burnley is but a stepping stone. We are playing at a far higher level ...

jedi_master

Nothing doing as yet here in Chesterfield. I go abroad for three weeks in a few days so will have to hope they're coming before I go or I won't know whether to chase the club!

jedi_master

46 games in League Two will be just what he needs, regardless of standard. If he proves to be as above that level as I think we all think he is then he will probably get shuffled up a league or two in January. It's win/win. He's still only 19, plenty of time to make it at Burnley yet.

jedi_master

Zaroury was magical for a good 6/7 months but he was poor in the back end of the promotion season and absolutely hopeless on his very rare outings in the Premier League. I particularly remember the difference in his performance in the cup for us away at Bournemouth where he scored twice, and then hi...

jedi_master

Just got back - to be blunt, garbage. At least it was lovely weather and a word for Kyle Walker who I’m still having to pinch myself to believe he’s playing for us. He looked outstanding. We move on - we all know what the gaps are and we learned nothing surprising today.

jedi_master

Always look forward to a new season. It’s going to be tough but our defence, on paper, looks great. Just need to see a strong, experienced number one and a big, physical midfielder to come in.

jedi_master

Could he play today if his medical is done? I assume there isn’t the same sort of rules around friendlies (I.e, ‘has to be signed before 12:00 the day before’ etc)?

jedi_master

Brentford and Bournemouth have been dismantled, such is the price of success at this level. There is no telling how they will cope with the change. Pretty certain Wissa will still leave Brentford yet, too. Whilst they have the money to recruit it’s no guarantee. We need them both to start poorly.

jedi_master

He’s one of those that is definitely worth a punt for a club like us. He’s got the right physicality for what we need. I remember him recently playing for Albania against England under Tuchel. He came off the bench and was bullying our backline (Dan Burn and possibly Maguire). Hes a real handful and...

jedi_master

We got three seats with four 'legs' (or frames? The iron pieces), which is correct if you think of how a row of three seats looks. My Dad went down just before 1 and got served straight away but as said above, perhaps they've run out of the legs fairly quickly because obviously you need more of them...

jedi_master

Three wooden Cricket Field stand seats secured at the club today - big queues.

jedi_master

Just occurred to me I never put my thoughts down after finally seeing them on the 26th at Wembley. When I started this thread last year as the news dropped I could never anticipate how difficult a trial it would be for me to finally get tickets after the Wi-Fi in our hotel in Tenerife failed me on r...

jedi_master

Afternoon everyone. I saw some discourse on the wider forum that seats were available to be sold at 1pm this coming Friday. Is that the case? I can't seem to find the intel. Anyone got a link to the club source? Many thanks. https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/football/your-chance-to-own-a-piece-o...

jedi_master

Why would the tunnel moving from a corner between two sets of Burnley fans, to between a corner with two sets of Burnley fans make any difference to perceived safety? Is it because a manager can walk down the touchline as opposed to across the pitch I guess?

jedi_master

Aside from the obvious (lack of communication to those affected, strange use of money with no discernible benefit, kicking the can down the road for long term stadium redevelopment…) my overriding reaction was incredulity at the barely GCSE level ‘renders’ produced for the concept art!

jedi_master

I am sure a goalkeeper is imminent. Look at how our business has gone this window, it's been silent and then suddenly it's been "Medical happening" out of nowhere on at least three occasions (Walker, Tuanzebe and Bruun-Larsen). Very confident 2-3 in by the weekend.

jedi_master

Bizarre. If I am honest, I'd probably take Vitinho back for a cheap price - good squad player who does a job all over the place and certainly a far more worthy/useful/reliable squad option than the likes of Benson and Tresor. It would be odd though because I was under the impression he wanted out du...

jedi_master

Without getting overly excited, there cannnot be many (if any) Naples —> Blackpool privately chartered flights happening (!!!!) so you simply have to assume that we have that lad. Potentially a great signing for us based on what I’ve seen in the obligatory reel and Ipswich fan comments.

jedi_master

I'd take Brownhill back any day of the week. We need people like him, Cullen, Roberts, Barnes etc that instil what our club is about and have been there through our ups and downs. He is serviceable in the Premier League and outstanding in the league below (where, let's be honest, we have a large cha...

jedi_master

Without question one of the most bizarre transfer/contract sagas I can remember. He is never even linked with anyone anymore despite just scoring 18 goals in a record breaking promotion winning team and being in the prime of his career on a free transfer.

jedi_master

Sam Johnstone seems a likely easily done deal and would fit the bill for a few years for us. Solid.

Cajuste looks a very good player so would mean keeper and striker needed.

I think we needed a midfielder before Brownhill left - need two in my opinion, for what it's worth.

jedi_master

If this has been the impasse we've needed sorting before being able to move on our targets then hopefully we're in for a busy few days/week. Cajuste and Sargent would be a good start...

jedi_master

Hoped for a bit more, but it’s still decent. I’d imagine we still owed City 7m or so, wonder if / how that’s been factored in, plus the % profit clause they had, and whether it’s 27 + extras for future performance etc. That has to be the case you’d think, or as summised, another sweetener in a loan...

£27 million according to Ornstein

If that is accurate I await two players to sign on undisclosed deals from Man City shortly, as otherwise that's pretty laughable.

jedi_master

I was rather hoping there was something to the rumours of a player or two coming our way but it appears to be a straight money deal.

Trafford to City done according to Romano

I reckon it's best for all concerned that it's done, if it is. Been inevitable for ages so lets crack on with what we need.

jedi_master

He only signed a new contract in September, but it's a good idea to solidify the length of his deal and ensure maximum return if and when. He's earned it as well.

jedi_master

Really enjoyed this, seems a lovely bloke and clearly has a lot of happy memories of his time at Burnley. Don't want to say too much and spoil anything but I particularly enjoyed getting the interesting insight into some specific players like Adie Randall in terms of their character off the pitch et...

Not much to help to you because I know you say you don't fancy a helicopter but I did it with my parents many years ago and it was honestly unbelievable. I remember that after a long, swooping flight around the canyon it descended and landed next to the Colorado River at the basin of the canyon and ...

No idea what we would need Chilwell for with Hartmann, Humphreys and Pires - you'd think that's just uninformed gossip.

jedi_master

McGrath originally linked Vardy as well as Wilson, you wonder if there’s a possibility there as time is shifting on and he’s still without a deal.

jedi_master

Our ludicrous squad size dictates we'd be unlikely to sign two strikers. We only play with one up front and will have Flemming, Foster and Barnes in that squad list already. I have always liked Wilson but it's a gamble - but perhaps less so than a foreign punt that has a huge transfer fee (Amdouni)....

jedi_master

I'm impressed with Sunderland and Leeds buys so far, us, not so much!... Not necessary with the buys we've made so far; they look okay for the most part, but for the purchases we haven't made in critical areas... Just three and a bit weeks until our first game, and we have the same strikeforce that...

jedi_master

It all works, until it doesn't work and that has been my concern since we were first 'bought' in the manner that we were. Whilst we continue to make it back to (or, hopefully this time, remain in) the Premier League we are absolutely fine. Likewise, whilst we continue to get relegated and have stron...

jedi_master

I know I’ll get pelters for it and I’m clearly in the minority - but I’d be willing to give Phillips a chance. In fact, I think there’s a potential bargain to be had there.

jedi_master

I’d rather just get £30m and Ortega. We don’t need any more wingers. Squad lacks physicality, height and nous. Mcatee and Bobb are great footballers but the squad is unbalanced as it is. Maybe take one of them on loan if it doesn’t impact on the price but we need money to spend and get what we truly...

jedi_master

Looks smart and fulfils it's purpose.

EDIT - I do wish it was 170+ seats though.

Wayne Dowell I used to play at the Thompson Centre for Junior Clarets as was and in about 1993 we were all very excited to be told that a couple of Burnley players were coming along to watch us and give out awards. My hopes of David Eyres, Steve Davis and Adie Randall were dashed by the appearance o...

Phil Gray is one I always find weird. We signed him on a free after we got promoted in 2000 (and I remember being impressed that we had a FULL, current Northern Irish international playing for us - how times have changed!) and he scored on his debut away at Bolton in our first game in the Championsh...
