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...

To the point further up about 'supporting' Espanyol (an alien concept to me, a Burnley fan, who frankly couldn't care less about any other club), just an immediate thought on my mind... Playing devils advocate, if the two clubs are entirely managed separately and not reliant upon each others success...

I think Burnley will remain the priority to ALK so long as we are in the Premier League due to the money that generates. The issue is when (not if) we drop out of it again. If we are not financially supported at that point in time as the priority entity, bouncing back at the first opportunity may no...

Maybe Brownhill is going to Espanyol.

A corner stand to attach the CF and Longside in some manner would really improve the atmosphere I think if it could be boxed in effectively. I’m sure the more likely scenario is that whatever such a stand could be it would predominantly focus on corporates.

jedi_master

Wouldn’t say disappointing just a strange one. Does he get in front of the other players we have? Really not sure He was our most effective attacking player when we were last in this division. I think Anthony and Edwards were class last season and I hope they step up, but we have no idea because lo...

jedi_master

I just hope it's permanent this time. I don't want to sound defeatist but IF we were to go down, he would be absolutely class and probably stick about. I was disappointed we didn't grab him last summer but that was probably difficult after Kompany left.

Is it actually him signing?

Funny if it's not after two pages of discussing him

I am invested now, if it's not him, sign him anyway.

JBL only played 15 games since leaving.

Berge, wouldn’t have him back as he couldn’t get out of the club quick enough last summer.

Played 27 games in the Bundesliga alone last year (35 total inc Europa League and German Cup).

Regardless of who it is, another winger, you’d imagine benson is definitely leaving and then one of either Tresor koleosho and Amdouni

Will always love Benny for 22/23 but it's time for him to leave, for his own career as much as anything else.

jedi_master

Hope it's a wee bit cooler when I see them on the 26th. I'd have really struggled in this today if I was there I reckon, not much to block the sun at Heaton Park. I was at Wembley for Linkin Park on the 28th June last month on a very similar day weather wise and it was stifling heat, but at least th...

I'd prefer JBL to Odobert - he'd be our player for a start assuming it's a permanent this time. He was our top scorer in that awful season and was effective, even if he also had some anonymous games. Odobert has the world at his feet for sure but JBL can offer us some end product at this level, he's...

Two medicals then....maybe?!

JBL only been a sub for most of his time since his move to Stuttgart. Seems to have come off the bench every game, but very limited minutes. You'd think he might be available.

I’ve not seen him mentioned but if we do sign him then I’m certain by then I won’t have an exclusive.

I retract my suggestion!

jedi_master

The American chap on Twitter who mentioned Sargent had already been to meet with Burnley a few days ago (and he apparently has a good track record with US Mens players) reckoned we just had to agree a fee with Norwich and that was done.

He's my guess, on that basis.

Has Brownhill retired or what??

What a weird situation.

May as well have done if he's going to the MLS.

jedi_master

Dug out a piece with my hands after we beat Scunthorpe to get promoted in 2000 (I was at the Turf watching on the big screen). I’d have been 13 - it’s in my Mum and Dads garden still!

jedi_master

I’d take Sargent all day long. He’s done the business three years running in a pretty average Norwich side, he’s had a bit of a taste of the Premier League before when only 20/21, scored a few in the Bundesliga and a regular for the US, still only 25, a proper Number 9 who has a bit of everything to...

There is no logic to selling Esteve - I highly doubt we would even if the interest was there. The player seems sound about saying, he’s contracted till 2029 so his value will maintain (or increase) next summer. Different situation to Trafford who I still believe will go as soon as Newcastle cough up...

jedi_master

Wilson on a one year deal is a no brainer, in my opinion. We would need another striker we can rely on to be available more, for sure, but if you can get 20 games out of Wilson then he might be the guy who wins us 5 or 6 wins on his own with a winning goal or equaliser etc. I think that is worth a o...

jedi_master

Very odd to me that he would possibly choose Championship or MLS/Turkey ahead of the Premier League, personally. I am starting to wonder (just putting this out there) if he has not been given assurances of his guaranteed starting in the team. If the club is approaching this season with a strategy of...

Current side, in my eyes: ———————————-—-Trafford —-—————Tuanzebe—Esteve—-Humphreys Walker—————Cullen———-—Hannibal————-Hartman ———————Edwards——Flemming——-Anthony I like the idea of a five but it’s dependent on the central midfield getting beefed up. I think it’s a system we could choose to play again...

I was underwhelmed and prior to Burnley I’d always thought Parker was boring, arrogant and a bit off.

Putting aside his outstanding on field performance - I couldn’t have had the measure of the man himself more wrong. A true gentleman that I’m really proud to have managing my club.

jedi_master

The free agent market has some really good options this summer and whilst Walker had a fee attached, he’s in that sort of category. I am enjoying the thinking with this signing and Tuanzebe’s. I have to say, this signing shows to me that the interest in the likes of Soucek, Vardy, Calvert-Lewin, Wil...

jedi_master

If I’m Josh Brownhill, I look at the signing of Walker and think I want to stick about.

They had the two Kyles at the back didn’t they? Can’t remember who the other one was?

Naughton - a lot thought he was the bigger prospect (had a solid career himself mind you).

A back four of

Hartman, Esteve, Tuanzebe, Walker

Is a very very strong back four

Or, because I still think it’s possible we go with a five:

Hartman Humphreys Esteve Tuanzebe Walker

jedi_master

Am I going over the top by suggesting this is as big, or arguably bigger due to the fact he’s still performing at the highest level both domestically and internationally, as Wright and Gascoigne? Ok, yes, not as showy because he’s a right back, but it’s certainly of that stature in my eyes.

jedi_master

It’s the sort of signing that may be the thing that makes the likes of Vardy, Callum Wilson, Calvert-Lewin (if interest is genuine) go “hmmm, fair enough what are they building”.

jedi_master

Did Scotty play with him at Spurs?

jedi_master

That is ******* mental.

He’s 35 but he’d start for like 15 teams in this league, minimum. Insanity. HOW?

jedi_master

Clearly it’s Jimmy Glass, has to be. For me though? It has to be Ian Moore away at Bradford in 2004 - the only injury time goal which has resulted in me somehow being 5 rows lower by the end of the celebrations (we were going down without a doubt in my opinion).

jedi_master

End of the day, if we're the only ones in for him then he is going to come. He will no doubt double or triple his salary at Burnley you'd imagine.

jedi_master

My concern in losing JB is more next season than this. There's a very good chance we'll be back in the Championship (that's not defeatist, just realistic if the last couple of seasons are anything to go by) and JB is a stand out player at that level. Put simply we wouldn't have achieved automatic p...

jedi_master

Feels like a concerted effort to bring in pace, power and height this summer on the basis of signings made and links seen. That was a key issue in our last attempt at this level, in my opinion.

I want to see the same sort of profile coming in up front - I believe that is key.

jedi_master

No idea who he is but that is certainly a legit source.

jedi_master

Gousto is decent, I think it’s better quality having done both. They usually have decent offers on for your first few weeks as well.

jedi_master

I have said for years it should have been a priority, just like the training ground was. Our time at the top table probably will be fleeting in the grand scheme of the clubs history and we really should have made hey whilst the sun is shining. I like to think there is a plan that is awaiting imminen...

jedi_master

I am most certainly not “itk”, but what’s to say that JB and tge club haven’t agreed to let his contract expire at midnight tonight, so that the club can legitimately pay him a signing-on fee? I’m not saying this is what the silence is all about, but football is a funny old game. I live in hope, I ...

Brownhill not pictured going into training in the club videos (that's the case for a few others too, but just making the point).

jedi_master

If Brownhill had agreed a deal, we'd have announced it. The only strange thing to it is that when we knew CJ had rejected our offer, we announced that.

I am perplexed why we have done neither with this.

jedi_master

I can see this being hated, but I like it. The sponsor may ruin it if it's that awful massive yellow thing again. After having away's for the last two seasons I may go for this depending on the finished outcome.

Would never trust Viagogo or Stubhub ever again after being turned away at the gates at a Muse gig about 7 or 8 years ago. Be very careful - sometimes if it appears too good to be true….
