This site could definitely benefit from some AI to weed out the crap and get to the point on some threads.

This site is about a decade old and would have about 11 posts left if we got AI to wipe away the shitposting, mine would be amongst the first to go.

Enjoying this, can I play?

According to Transfrmarkt Espanyol have a squad value of about €65m, about a quarter of our value, and they have only 2 players valued over €6m now they have sold their best player, the keeper, to Barca. They would love many of our squad, no doubt. La Liga or not, we have the better team. By far. N...

I'm loving the optimism that a side that have been outside of the top flight of Spain twice in 26 years, and have absolutely no reason not to be thinking about breaking into the top half are going to be delighted and so grateful to a championship side if we can send them our 3rd or 4th choice right ...

I love Dyche, by far my favourite Burnley manager and I enjoyed that interview.

With that said, I become more and more bored of his shtick every time I hear him.

He very rarely has anything new or fresh to say these days, just banging the same old drum.

BigGaz

Do you think this puts to bed potential of Oscar bobb? Any further update from your guy I hope not. I don't really understand what's happening here tbh :lol: You would anticipate that there is north of 5 attacking players we are looking to move on this window and if we do hopefully we might still g...

Aren't you a man well into his 30's playing ultimate team and all that stuff? Trading cards with lads half your age, and younger?

BigGaz

Burnley FC ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with bringing back former players. Never know a club or it's fans dripping in OBSESSION to bring back the guys. It makes you wonder who is next, Winston White. Should we bring back Clark Carlisle or Paul Crichton lads next, am I right lol, lmfao. ROFL. I personally don...

I'm not even sure it's right tbh, looks like the graphic was before contract expiry. Beware using Wikipedia as your source of truth but our squad is now 36 with the departure of Hound Dog. I presume CJER and JB were the others, don't feel like we've lost anyone else though I could be mistaken. Masse...

I have never understood why people get so wound up about people giving out titbits that they have been told. The same is happening at the minute with people claiming that they had been TOLD that Brownhill had signed a contract, can’t remember if you were 1. If it doesn’t happen then so what? It doe...

BigGaz

Oscar Bobb would be about as exciting as you could get, I think he’s a player destined to go right to the top I think so. Is it really that unrealistic? He's 21, been out for 18 months with a serious injury, he's got Nunes, Doku, Foden, Silva, Cherki, Savinho, Grealish, Marmoush all capable of play...

BigGaz

The one stat people are leaving out, is that when Ipswich dropped him, he had the most mistakes, leading directly to a goal, than any other player in the premier league. Taking into account the similar mistakes he made for us, why would anyone in their right mind want him anywhere near our team thi...

BigGaz

The bullshit some people post amazes me :lol: :lol: :lol: We have more chance of signing Oscar Wilde And yet the 'bullshit' that I've posted is sometimes right on the nose. Sometimes Its right, sometimes it isn't. I don't profess to be itk, I just pass on what my mate who works in football has told...

Biggest squads

Bingo

Some serious pruning to do.

BigGaz

I thought he could play anywhere in behind the three TBF.

He IS a fantastic player. Had that broken leg and a series of complications that have stunted his development. There's far bigger than us that fancy him permanently but City only willing to let him go on loan is the story behind it

BigGaz

......in Europe.

Anyone care to have a guess at completing the sentence?

BigGaz

Feel like it's going to go one of two ways.

He's either going to be a revelation and have them in the top half, or a disaster and he's gone by November.

Don't really see him guiding them to a comfortable lower midtable finish

If it is just say that you can’t divulge

I can divulge but the guessing game is good fun

Oscar Bobb is the name I've been given.

"Manchester based".
We've had bids turned down by Salford for a young player who is highly rated. Would this be the player in question?

Nope, plays in Blue.

BigGaz

I've heard rumblings of a season long loan with no option for a young Manchester based forward. In and around the first team, not a regular starter.

BigGaz

It's a hell of a reach to suggest that players that were bit part at Championship level are suddenly going to go in and be better players in the toughest league in the world. I am not sure what being in the Premier League is going to do for Koleosho as regards to his tendency to run down blind alley...

For a club in our position if you get the chance to sign Kyle Walker you sign Kyle Walker

Must be said that Trafford Walker Tuanzebe Esteve Hartmann As long as they’re all fit and firing is every inch a PL back line. Really strong start to proceedings. It’s going to be an uphill battle no matter what we do but if can get hold of a good midfielder to replace Josh and a striker then with t...

Wonderful signing. A serial champion, a winners mentality, and someone who could lay claim to being the best right back in the world in the not too distant past. Alright, he's on his way down but being good enough for the likes of AC Milan and City and then Burnley are two separate things, as painfu...

Callum Wilson is currently on a deal of £0 per week, with a goal bonus of £0 per week and a sweet little appearance package of £0. The big wages he was on at Newcastle were as a result of him signing up as a 28 year old, In demand, free scoring, prime of his life, England International. He is now a ...

We have to give praise to those working upstairs. We're getting big business done early, and Parker is 100% being backed. Long way to go yet but we need a statement signing, the biggest of all to replace Brownhill, and a striker. If we carry on like we've started then I've got no worries we'll get w...

I'm really surprised more elite players don't run their contracts down too tbh. With the money on offer nowadays I'm sure that will become more of a thing.

I’m just accepting JB has gone. Anything different will be a pleasant surprise.

My guys record is patchy but the words been for the last 18 months he fancies playing somewhere sunny.

BigGaz

Surely Newcastle and Burnley need to agree on the fee before Newcastle are allowed to discuss personal terms with Trafford, not the other way round? That still happens, but often nowadays If both clubs are in agreement that they're not too far apart in negotiations or everyone is keen to a deal the...

With the news about Tuanzebe set to join I was just about to log in and give praise to Pace and Co for getting on with business early but see Newcy has beat me to it. Hartmann, Tuanzebe and Weiss along with Tchaouna are 4 players that are going to be fighting for starting spots. These aren't squad f...

It's been confirmed that Max has selected the number 44 for his jersey.

Welcome Max

Not sure what the % is but for me this is why we should be all over a player swap as part of the deal.

James Trafford should be sold - we don't want him getting to the last year of contract and getting our pants pulled down. 2 Oliver Sonne backup 3 Shurandy Sambo loan or sell 4 Joe Worrall Defender hopefully backup 5 Maxime Estève Defender keep 8 Josh Brownhill Midfielder keep 10 Manuel Benson sad, b...

Much Pant *******. It's all over that he's expected to be understudy to whoever is no1.

BigGaz

At the risk of being labelled ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with former players coming back it wouldn't be the end of the world if Pope came the other way.

BigGaz

Romano saying Burnley and Newcastle negotiating for Trafford

Wouldn't be against taking someone like Longstaff, Burn or Willock in part ex if they can't get near to the figure we want (hopefully 35m).

You would imagine whichever insurance company underwrote player insurance for the club will be sweating.

It's a lovely sunny day lads, go outside.

Whilst I agree with the broader sentiment, there is some very lazy generalism and prejudice going on in here The path we are on in football started with the inception of the Premier League, and owners of all nationalities, including British ones, have propelled us down it.

Just a shame it's at home. Cracking Tie. I have to say the reaction from some of our fans on twitter is disappointing. It looks to be from the younger generation from what I can tell so I have to remind myself that I'm pushing 40 and these little upstarts won't remember the side they'd assembled und...

Ive been having a snoop around the Feyenoord forum as I like to do with any club where we hold an interest in a player. Hartmann is a player I wished we'd signed when we last got linked to him. IIRC they were quoting something like 20-25m for his services which put us off. The Feyenoord fans believe...

Wouldn’t want O Shea anywhere near this team. Couldn’t wait to leave and looked poor to me when I saw him last season. With you on that Boss Hogg. I don't get the love in for him.

He missed out on a loan move to the PSV reserves (would it have been beneficial, I don't know) due to the paperwork not being submitted in time I think.

Thank you, if that's helpful case then certainly, it's a fair point and we might've handled it better.

Sorry I'm not party to the loan situation two seasons ago, what happened there?

BigGaz

I'm not sure what more we could have done tbh. He was very young when we got him and that first season it's difficult to make an argument that we should've accommodated him given that we went on to be perhaps one of the greatest championship sides of all time, and the meanest defence in the league. ...
