A 32 year old Granit Xhaka @ £8.7 million is tremendous value.

I'm surprised a bigger club aren't interested, surely we could join the party at that price?

Reported the Saudis interested

Elizabeth

How good do Chelsea and Palmer look!

I actually wasn't sure, which made your attempt at a joke pretty poor.

You are telling me there are football matters you are unsure about. There's an admission , coming from you.

It's not a lot to ask for you to get a player's name right.

So you knew who the player was. Makes your comment idle

Must be the women, I've never heard of a male player with that name.

I see you still excel at having cheap shots though. Well done.

Elizabeth

As a supporter, I agree, I'm not sure he has 'repaid' his transfer fee. But £9m for a striker is peanuts in the PL scheme of things. If we expect 20 goals from a striker in a PL season we would have to be looking in the £50m+ range. Statistics show that attacking players (apart from academy graduat...

The one Curricella is playing in. Not sure if it's the women's or men's game

Elizabeth

I love the superior football fan posts

Elizabeth

I thought Jimmy Mullen was Allan Clarke played for Leicester with Rodrigues in 69 Final

Elizabeth

Did one play for West Ham v Preston in the 60s?

If JBL has signed, I'm pleased.

Yes, there are PL goals in him which has to be a positive

Elizabeth

A better comparison for me is how Parker does this season with how Dyche did in his first PL season with us

Elizabeth

I think most people just want it settled quickly and have come to the mindset that if he goes he goes

Elizabeth

Now that it looks like Newcastle have agreed a fee with Forest for Elanga I wonder whether we will be any nearer finding out if Trafford goes there this week.

He needs to be careful that whilst the club may have left it with him to mull over they may get there targets and inform Brownhill the offers withdrawn.

I think it will be more structured than that with an agreed date

Elizabeth

Echoes of Parker then

Elizabeth

Brownhill will be back if it's of mutual benefit.

Elizabeth

If Wiki is correct it's Happy Birthday Oba today, still only 25. It's my view that it was a wrong match and things weren't helped by his injury going into that PL season with Kompany. I think there is a good footballer there and hope he does himself a footballing favour by co operating with the club...

Elizabeth

I think we need to let go of Josh, he appears to have moved on I am hoping against hope that James remains with us for at least one more season However I think the England manager's comments about the need to play in European competition to get in the World cup squad has undermined us somewhat.. I'...

I'm at the Lytham festival today so missing this one. Thought I'd get that in just in case we lose and I get accused of going quiet

Wise post. Burnley did win together with a lack of the usual regular score updates from Lowerhouse posters. Lagerbilly run the show in you absence .

Wow. That must’ve been some final two overs…

It was the 2 overs before that the Brian Lara effect occured

Elizabeth

No update from you?

Elizabeth

111 from 22 overs @ 5 an over with 8 wkts left. I'll assume unless the Lowerhouse 'sing when you're winning' posters come on, Burnley will win

Elizabeth

How have Burnley started their innings?

Elizabeth

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

Elizabeth

My one thought was that if he could get promotion with Bournemouth and Fulham, he could do it with us.

Elizabeth

Out of nowhere! A statement of intent by the club

Elizabeth

Good examples but very different circumstances. We sold to survive back then. We earn enough money to keep players now, but they force moves so we cash in. Sorry I seem to be following you around this evening Bill but I've had a tipple in Elsie's kitchen and we've been having a good laugh at Upthec...

Could be a farming reference in that

The researcher I am I looked up where Trafford was born. It said Carlisle , so I looked up Carlisle and all I could find was that it was a region full of sheep. I'm completely lost bill, can you help me

If he has signed for Burnley to play in the PL next season I can guarantee he won’t be an Idle Weiss

All royalties to Vince Hill

Elizabeth

I'll say it now.

Thanks James, the highlight of your stay at Burnley was the two penalty saves at the death against Sunderland on the Turf that got us an important point against promotion rivals when we didn't deserve it

If you read this board James , why does Nick Pope call you ' shagger' ?

Elizabeth

I will be very upset if Esteve goes, but I'm sure we will get offers. Football is horrible nowadays, you have to feel for Scott Parker after all the brilliant work he's done to lose his best players. What is it the club have put on him- £40-50 million ? Would love a club to get up to 35 million and...

Elizabeth

Said it several times-tell Newcastle the ticket price and tell them they dont come back until you match it. THey are not exactly skint. Only today Brighton refused Newcastle's £50 million plus bid for Pedro, Brentford turned down £62.5m for Mbuemo, Bournemouth wont budge on Semenyo unless they get ...

Elizabeth

My original prediction: These 3 plus Esteve to leave. Could still happen, unfortunately. Is that a weep or a wail Bill. Would have been a surprise if these moves didn't happen. While I'm generally content with football moves away from the club I might shed a little tear if Esteve goes. I do not exp...

Elizabeth

Just wait until the news has been confirmed by the club.

Elizabeth

Could we have an unofficial agreement that the weeping and wailing expires a week today ?

Elizabeth

Couldn't edit. I don't mean by that I've written him off if he signs. I think that experience and the extra years since will have helped him develop enough to be a bigger PL threat if given the chance again

Elizabeth

Maybe you have Sergeant in mind then. If so look no further than the one season he had in the PL 2-3 seasons ago in a very poor Norwich side

Elizabeth

There are so many good number 2 goalies out there who must be chomping at the bit for a No1 PL chance. Or maybe one playing in a foreign league with Claret grandparents

Elizabeth

How does anyone ever find out if a player who has only played at Championship level is good enough for the Premier League if you don't give him a chance to play Premier League games? Based on his previous Premier League outings you could ask whether Trafford is good enough to play in the PL - of co...

Elizabeth

Possibly the clubs have finally agreed the fee and conditions today

Elizabeth

I always think if you can get the midfield right then it’s half the battle. Sunderland with Le Fee and Diarra look to be going some way to doing that, although the size of a transfer fee doesn’t guarantee anything. I would find the departure of Brownhill very disheartening, though not unexpected. I...

Elizabeth

Where too , do you think?. Obviously starting this early training session away from the club, he wouldn’t have been returning to the club for preseason training. I just hope he had the courtesy to give the club plenty of notice so their plans for a replacement are reasonably advanced. I don't think...

Elizabeth

I think we'd all like to see him succeed PC but time is running out. If only he didn't get injured so easily. I think he started off the last PL season not too bad which makes his brittleness frustrating.

Elizabeth

Yeah, Lyle seems more suited to Prem life in a way. Fast and physical. Just mentality… What’s the profile for a new striker? Examples? I was looking at the profile of DR Congo international Wissa who has proved very successful at Brentford from a relatively unknown beginning in France. He played in...

Elizabeth

We need a much better striker than Sergeant , in my opinion The step up from the Championship is clearly a massive one for a striker, as Leeds may discover with Piroe. It's probably the biggest challenge the club have in the transfer window. I would guess wages would prevent us getting one proven a...

We just feel more like us when Barnsey is about so delighted from that point of view

I hope that doesn't mean we aren't bringing a striker in though

Very unlikely that we won't be bringing one in. Hopefully one significantly more robust than the brittle Foster.

Elizabeth

I think it was the right decision to offer Barnes a contract and I'm not surprised he's signed it. It's clear from posts that he is much loved by the Up The Clarets community.
