Great signing. Of the loan players in the VK mercenary year in the EPL, JBL was the best.
He has goals in his bag and is proven in the league we’re about to play in.
Welcome back, Jakob !

Sheff utd fans told us Berge was overrated when we were about to sign him to

Both Lens and Rennes (his previous club, I presume) fans saying the same thing - that he’s got potential, but is lazy.

Looks to be quite far down the line and could be that tall, solid figure we need next to Cullen.

The comments below the post all suggest that he’s not particularly good and that €18m is a rip-off.

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 s...

I’ll stick my neck out here, but there’s not a cat in hell’s chance that Nathan Tella returns to Burnley in the foreseeable future. Those who think he will come here this summer should explain why he would give up Champions League football for a potential relegation battle in England. We have needed...

There was no pitch invasion at Anfield yesterday. They won the Premier League.

Why do some idiots and morons at Burnley think it’s the “done thing”?

FFS stay in your seats next Saturday. Don’t get the club into more trouble than it’s already in.

Does anyone know if we have an option on Flemming?

I’d have thought that was far more important than bringing in Whitaker from Plymouth.

Sacha Tavolieri now suggesting Hountondji is likely to complete his move to Standard tomorrow but Delcroix has rejected a move there It should be no real surprise that Delcroix would refuse a move to Standard.

That one header (and what a beauty it was) more than pays the cost of renting the helicopter back in August.

Burnley, from the English 2nd division, made a loan offer to Grêmio for 19-year-old Nathan Fernandes. The English club did not propose any value for the loan, but rather a mandatory purchase clause if the Grêmio striker played 50% of the season's games. The values, in this case, would be 10 million...

BB4Claret

No. If Mellon wasn't injured and loaned out he'd have been the closest. Masara is more of a winger than a striker. Richardson more of a 10 and since he's not featured for weeks and wasn't on the bench at Sunderland I assume he's injured again too. They said Nathan Tella was more of a winger, but it...

BB4Claret

With regard to signings: If we bought a 17-yr-old forward, who scored 21 goals in all competitions last season, from Italy or Spain, then this board would be ecstatic. The fact that Vernon Masara is already a Burnley player doesn’t excite people as much as Odobert or Koleosho. Is that because he’s “...

I’m sure Romano is correct about Amdouni wanting Benfica but we won’t sell him at that price. Agreed. This €4MM loan offer doesn’t benefit Burnley FC at all. As for the €12MM (or whatever it was) that they’re offering as a follow on to the loan, there’s no way that we’d take a €6MM loss on an upcom...

You don’t uproot your family to Saudi for £16K per week. He’d easily have been on that here at Burnley.

£1.3 million for Johan is good business by the club.

Doh !
€1.5 million over a year works out at around £25K per week. Still not worth it, though.
The €1.5 million has to be a transfer fee.

The €1.5m could refer to his wages for 18 months, rather than a transfer fee.

Zeki is a class player who needs decent service and will benefit now we have players who will play quickly to feet.

I know I’ll take a lot of flack for saying this, but I just don’t get all the adoration of Wilson Odobert. Sure, he’s an exciting winger on the ball, but, in the cold light of day, he has little end product. He went awol in many games last season. His stats are as bad as those of Weghorst, if not wo...

Tbh, I kind of hope that RVN does go to Man Utd.

If he does go to ...

If Kompany does go, I think the natural successor would be Graham Potter. I don’t think he has a job at the moment (I stand to be corrected on that), and his experience with the Brighton “project” would mean he’s a good fit for us.

He was having a very good game but that's because he is a very good player. The longer he lay on the ground motionless( as it seemed from the other end) the more worried I became.
