CohibaClaret

He’s not better than Muric. He is a development player and should be used as such. Can’t believe how easily the good things of last season were so easily thrown over board. Muric, Brownhill, Taylor. Also in the transfers. Throwing 15 mio on Berge but not paying this for Tella who was the best attack...

CohibaClaret

Getting what we deserve. Naive recruitment, unbalanced squad and naive tactics. This is going to take a complete reset to save this season.

CohibaClaret

Spent 100 mio and have to play CB’s as full back, can’t explain that. Also haven’t seen anything that justifies the nr 1 spot for Trafford above Muric. The first goal was quite soft. Berge also not doing better than Brownhill. Very disappointing start of the season so far.

CohibaClaret

Berge was a mismatch for Sheffield. He likes to play the ball on the deck, fast movement passing style. His neck was hurting watching balls flying over at Bramall lane. He was never really happy there, signed when they were mid table PL team and things soon went sour after he signed. I think he will...

CohibaClaret

isn't Flemish/Dutch very similar (if not the same?) Anyway, slightly worried about how much he knew about Palace and not sure Palace fans will agree with him that they are over achieving to be 12th and not in the bottom three It’s like Scottish and English. The same language but then again not quit...

Kompany watching a game at Westalo tonight I hope it’s for Tresor who is playing against Westerlo tonight but Belgian press states it’s for Foster. https://www.hln.be/belgisch-voetbal/en-plots-duikt-vincent-kompany-op-in-het-kuipje-burnley-coach-komt-quasi-incognito-westerlo-speler-scouten~a2648b33/

CohibaClaret

I can tell you Tresor is a hell of a player. He will be a PL player at some point, I hope it’s at Burnley.

CohibaClaret

Seems a good thread to ask our Belgium based Clarets, and those generally who watch a bit of the Pro League... who's standing out over there? Who may Kompany have his beady eye on? Fair to say it's been a fruitful place for us so far. Prospects in the pro league that are premier league material: Du...

CohibaClaret

One of the most biased refereed games I have seen. Clear handball not given, several clear fouls not given and 8’ extra time.

CohibaClaret

Shocking refereeing even for championship standards.

CohibaClaret

1-0 for the champions!

CohibaClaret

Yessssss!

Watching from Belgium via clarets +

WBA have some really good experienced players. Big test tonight!

Nope. Will need a flight tracker for this one, if my info is correct…

(That’s all I’m saying)

Must be Kouyate from Metz then. Surely they need to sell their prime asset after relegation and we’re just playing hard ball.

CohibaClaret

1 striker and 1 big center half (Egan?) signing and you must say it was a great window. Promotion favourites I say.

CohibaClaret

Not a fan of this. I miss a vintage white with claret-blue trim away shirt and a yellow third with claret trim. Very happy with the home shirt though.

CohibaClaret

Zaroury is a prospect but serious doubts he can make an immediate impact.

CohibaClaret

Do we think the cash is running out as we search for the missing bits of the squad jigsaw in the next9 days or so. If not what do we think is left in the pot to spend Bidding for the 2 Metz players and for the Rotherham lad so should be at least about 10mio in the transfer kitty still to spend. A s...

CohibaClaret

There was another poster on this thread who lives in Belgium, can’t remember the username, not Belgianclaret this time, who said he’s a very good player and just the type of striker we need. He said he’d watched him a fair bit and was impressed, can create chances from nothing, bit of pace and has ...

CohibaClaret

I totally agree with the style of play but you need to mix it up more and know when it’s time to play more direct when the game requires it like at the end of the 1st half against Blackpool and the start of the second half. Otherwise you get found out too easy and make it easy for opponents. There w...

CohibaClaret

Wow, just wow.

CohibaClaret

Yesssss, what a goal!!!

CohibaClaret

Come on Burnley. First game since the Huddersfield one I can follow on Clarets live. Ground looks buzzing.

CohibaClaret

Could he do it in the Championship, though? I think enough players have shown that if you can excel in Belgian pro league you can make it in the championship (Cullen, Berge, Dennis) some even in the PL like Trossard, Origi, Benteke. Just a few examples but there are many. Some players need settling...

CohibaClaret

I saw on insta that we’re linked with Mikautadze, striker from Metz who spent last 2 seasons on loan at Seraing. He is exactly what is missing. Clinical finisher and someone who can make chances on his own. Technically superb, goes past defenders with ease and scored easily.

CohibaClaret

The number of clubs he had last years also tells a story. Potential yes but still a lot to prove in terms of consistency.

Reading haven’t released theirs yet

Several clubs have not released new kits. Sheffield only released their new home yesterday and haven’t released an away yet. Leeds another example.

CohibaClaret

Not a rumour but if Antwerp are messing us around and we’ve reached the top figure we are prepared to go, I’d be switching my attention to Bowler at Blackpool, championship experience, young, exciting and an asking price of 3-4million, ticks all the boxes for me. Their owner is a **** linked to Put...

CohibaClaret

The front line of Sheffield is poor and they lack pace and creativity in midfield. Not promotion material for me.

CohibaClaret

Hi Cohiba, whereabouts you based in Belgium? Do you know Belgiumburnley (even though its been a while since he posted)? Hi, I am from Brecht (born in Wilrijk but moved there over years after getting married). I don’t know Belgiumburnley. I did a lot of ground hopping as a student in the early ninet...

CohibaClaret

Thanks Cohiba May I be cheeky enough to ask how Vitinho is perceived in Belgium? Cheers UTC Vitinho did well for Cercle. He’s a very useful squad player since he can play in 4 positions, right and left wing back and right and left winger. I don’t expect him to be a key player but a very useful squa...

CohibaClaret

How is he generally rated / perceived over there Belgiumclaret? Much appreciated. UTC High potential but inconsistent, has not yet made the break through as a key player, was still being used as an impact sub more often than not. On the other hand very little vision at his former club, they just bu...

CohibaClaret

I have to contradict you. I think we made them look that bad, it wasn’t a case of them being bad. And this is always the way. When the other team literally can’t get the ball off you, there is little they can do. It doesn’t matter if they kick, fight, be physical, long ball short ball or whatever, ...

CohibaClaret

Will be a good test. Luton are well organized and a typical championship side in terms of physicality. However, nothing to be afraid of if the players reach the same level of Friday. Then it will be a comfortable win. Just need to be a little more clinical in front of goal. Replacing Costello by Rod...

CohibaClaret

If anyone thinks we are way ahead of the others then I’d be waiting a few weeks. We will play far better teams than Huddersfield and we will come up against much stronger teams. Also much weaker teams in the league than hudders mind you. Rotherham, Reading, Wigan for example have weaker teams than ...

CohibaClaret

In the case of Cornet I still don't understand why he isn't fit and why he hasn't been integrated into the training. Is he being frozen out just because he may leave? You don’t want a 17.5 million asset doing his crucial knee ligaments just before finalizing a deal. Would mean no money and no playe...

CohibaClaret

Morgan Gibbs White would be an amazing fit. If there is a chance Wolves loan him out again, he would be a great signing with the attacking fluidity.

CohibaClaret

My son was equally disappointed. I find pretty poor that the kids shirts (11/12 and 13/14) were sold out on day one really. And the goalkeeper kits (even the home one) are being launched separately. But they don’t know when. Seems it is due to global supply chain issues. Sheffield United even haven...

CohibaClaret

Just ordered the home shirt online with Twine printing. I am expecting a lot from him once he is fully match fit. I also bought the 1980 away Umbro shirt from the classics range which is a beauty. Can’t wait for them to arrive. Have to wear last season’s top on holiday now which is fine bar the Wegh...

CohibaClaret

Quite confident the Clarets will be top 4. I have been following the EFL last season and there is not a lot of quality. And the quality has dropped further. Biggest threat will come from teams like Millwall and Sheffield who play aggressive and have big physical players who score from set pieces and...
