Fair play to them, they recurited well, spent a lot and look good. But it's worth saying that they had unbelieveably easy schedule - average league position of clubs they played against is - 14 (ours is 7,6). They also got really lucky with some decisions, clear penalty not given for Palace in the l...

Said it on an earlier post but I think Parker is over loyal
Don’t see how Ugochukwu was not played at all yet Laurent played all game

1) Ugochukwu played today
2) Laurent didn't play his position today because he was a CB.

ervi34

Everyone was saying Laurent was brilliant against Liverpool. Everyone agreed he did very well against Forest. And after one poor game (where he didn't do much wrong) he's suddenly not good enough. No need to pick him out, there were several players who did worse than him today. Also I don’t buy this...

ervi34

Too many overreactions. I agree that players should have done better, but I think the formation and shape was all wrong. Two midfielders had a hard time in first half and I have no idea what was the idea behind our press attempts.

We've spent a lot more than that, more like 135m.

I think it doesn't count loans with obligations.

ervi34

I think that’s a very harsh assessment, tbh. Played well after the Spurs opener against what should be a Top 6/8 side with a new manager, and gave United a real scare in the second half to the point they were celebrating at the end like they won the Champions League final. We have a host of new pla...

Beyer back in light training after a little set back could explain why we did not bring a cab in? It's almost two years since he last played a game. It will be a miracle if such a young player manages to overcome that kind of injury and returns to the level he was at when we signed him. I'd say the...

I think this is a good move for him and us however a little surprised that it's the full season.
Do we know if there's a recall option?

Half a season loans are quite rare.

ervi34

Well if if that's true we have left ourselves massively short in cm as things stand. Hope there is some 2 hour paperwork in place for someone. Otherwise we could end up with an ooc like Ericsson. Suspect Tresor and Delcroix will be off to Europe somewhere where there is a longer window. We have Cul...

Not the greatest of sources though.

Considering it's a parody account, I'd also say it's not the greatest source.

He made 14 appearances in the Premier League with us and was one of the better players, after a wonderful season in the championship where he bagged 8 goals in 29 form midfield. He was the best player against Derby. There is no better player than him in the squad that can play an advanced midfield ...

Well, he's definitely going somewhere!!

What makes you think he is not going to Burnley?

ervi34

It's nothing that strange - for example Hincapie was on the bench for Leverkusen yesterday although everything's agreed between Arsenal and them.

ervi34

I don't think that will happen. I think we'll lose 3-4 to 'balance the books' and anybody on loan-to-buy if we were to stay up, but think the majority we'll keep, plus have another solid transfer window and be very strong again. Walker, Dubravka and Tuanzebe signed a one year contract for a reason....

I have no idea whether he is any good or not; a little like many on here. I want to congratulate the recruitment team for learning from our mistakes under VK. We've moved for men rather than boys. The elusive CM/DM enforcer that we ignored has been heavily promoted for the last 2 years. FL appears ...

I think today confirmed we need a centre back. We looked shakes all game and had to bring Joe Worrall on at Old Trafford. Bit odd that he's ahead of Tuanzebe in the pecking order.

Tuanzebe and Humphreys are not match fit yet.

ervi34

I don’t think we will get near them sums. But he’s the same age as them and if he bangs in 15 plus. I could certainly see him going for north of 30. Long way to go and that would be a crazy achievement for him. But let’s hope he does. That most certainly won't be the case. The likes of Etikite and ...

Romano: Burnley are closing in on Florentino Luis deal €2m loan fee plus €24m obligation to buy bid accepted by Benfica!

There are still details to clarify but Burnley will push to avoid late hijacks.

ervi34

Luis will probably be a smokescreen for someone else I reckon. We’ve not had one of these come through all summer, in terms of the initial interest being leaked then signed. We’d definitely have a really competitive PL midfield if it was him, mind. Hartman and Tchaouna stories were leaked initially.

Parker on transfers: "We are hoping to do some business if we can. A lot of boxes need to be ticked for us to go into the window. There will be some players who will leave and getting that game time is essential for them."

Yes, Walker has to be a better option than Ekdal even though Walker isn't even a central defender.

However I bet Roberts is a while away from returning, that's the problem.

Blessing for us could be the fact that the international break is just around the corner.

ervi34

Brun Larsen a strange signing too, 7£m is massively overpriced for a winger who couldn’t get a start in the Bundesliga but we had about 9 wide players at the club already. Tuanzebe you can add to that list too, we’ve got an abundance of central defenders who we need to get rid of, he can’t stay fit...

ervi34

I'm not sure we need another RB - Roberts and Tuanezebe can cover that once they're fit. However, a center back should be our top priority and I have no idea why we didn't sign someone as soon as we knew CJER was off. Would like to see another central midfielder (Hamer perhaps) and a striker but not...

One of the first names on a team sheet for me.

Ekdal should be nowhere near our starting lineup.

If it's him then we'd have Odobert, Anthony, Edwards, Koleosho for the wide spots assuming Benson is sold. That is some serious competition.

He's a **** and his legs have gone. £5m and massive wages. Waste.

Yes, we should have gone for 21 year old RB who plays for some Belgian club no has heard of but AI model predicts he can become decent in 7 years.

That's some signing if we pull it off.

We 100% need a new striker. We 100% need a new central midfielder , in fact I think we need two. We 100% need an experienced keeper when Trafford goes. Then depending who leaves I still think we need another centre half given Tuanzebes injury record. I think Ekdal will leave , Delcroix too. I think...

Sounds a decent sized fee for what will be a backup. Signal of intent?

Not sure £4.2m is a decent sized fee.

Ryan Taylor (reliable source): "Feyenoord left-back Quilindschy Hartman undergoing medical at #BurnleyFC ahead of permanent transfer to Turf Moor. Deal worth £10.25m, £7.7m initial fee plus £2.55m in add-ons (€9m + €3m), as reported in Sunday Mirror".

Decent price I'd say.
