Is that right? I don’t remember ever disagreeing with you previously…. Koleosho turning in a tight area and supplying a striker with a weighted pass? Not happening, I’m afraid. He would need to improve his game immeasurably to have the ability to do this. He will of course pull back to receive the ...

I couldn’t disagree any more. He’d have even less space in the middle and for someone whose weaknesses are close control and awareness this would be a bad move. Maybe if he played as a 9 on the shoulder of the centre halves he could be effective with his pace and space to run into. But as a 10? Not...

Either go full rotation or experiment with our strongest team in a setup designed to breakdown teams that are expected to sit in - where we'll have long periods of the ball... could stand us in good stead for the remainder of the league I disagree. Players who are close to the first team or bench n...

People are overlooking Connor Roberts also out of contract in the summer, who has been in absolutely fantastic form in the past few months. Been suggested he wants to return to his beloved South Wales, Swansea a likely destination. Not overlooking. I've put him in the same bracket as Brownhill - he...

Weather set to improve from Monday thankfully.

Fell on my arse on Thursday walking back from the gym due to the ice.

I'm very surprised he's not been tied down on a better deal by now just like Brownhill but hopefully the board sort it out soon..

Parker seemed relatively confident of getting him down to a new contract. But I can't see Brownhill signing regardless of whether we go up or not.

burnleycclaret

I certainly wouldn't be changing the formation in defence. Why would we with the record we have? That would be ridiculous. I want to see Koleosho in the number 10 with Foster ahead of him. Something like:

Anthony Laurent McDermott Sarmiento
Koleosho
Foster

I loved the first one. Must watch this one. Makes you want to live in Burnley.

Easy tiger.

burnleycclaret

I'd like to see Koloesho through the middle as a number 10. People may scoff but can see that being his most dangerous position.

burnleycclaret

He's just an overrated CJ Egan-Riley.

We'd get battered if we made 11 changes against a half decent side from the league below.

Needs to be a mix. Maybe 5 rested, if that.

Well I'm sure he'll keep them up and then take them top 10 next season, so got to be good for both.

burnleycclaret

I haven't seen a thread on this, perhaps the FA Cup isn't important enough ;) Anyhow, here's a team I'd like to see. Hladky, Sonne (if he's not suspended), Worrall, Humphreys, Pires, Cullen, Laurent, Anthony, Sarmiento, Koleosho, Foster. You might as well add to this: https://www.uptheclarets.com/m...

We will be incredibly lucky to have another season of esteve even if we are promoted

Has a lengthy contract so it'll take some seriously big money to get him unless he has a small release fee.

The link doesn't seem to work for me, but this does:

He's asked about CJ's contract running out in the summer and comes across as relatively confident we can get a new deal sorted with him.

Possibly people might be seeing you post on here and might think can we get him with another screenshot

The screenshot might mention Tresor starting vs Reading as well.

Apparently he's 'on the grass', so we can probably expect to see him in about 2 years time

Not sure I see him as a regular anyway. Surely bench / impact player even when fit.

burnleycclaret

Bit out of the loop so quick catch-up needed. Rumours/live gossip I am seeing is Redmond to Brum Traff to Newcastle though more likely summer Shelvey at Gawthorpe and training prior to signing Tella (not at training ground ) loan with obligation to purchase at 20mill Delacroix turned down loan move...

burnleycclaret

I'm willing to give Parker the benefit of the doubt over this one. I was a big fan of Shelvey when he played over here so hope he still has it. Different players perform better with different managers. Look at Barton under Dyche for example. He's clearly not going to be asked to start every remainin...

Managerial merry-go-round. The place where being sacked is meaningless, you still get offered another job.

For those wanting Everton down - fine if we go up. Otherwise, no. I don't fancy having them as promotion rivals.

Hugill on loan at Chester, what makes you so confident he’s capable of being a backup for a top championship team Seems to quite a common theory on here, that we can simply bring in someone from the U21s. It's down to Football Manager in most cases with the belief there's little to no difference in...

Shelvey could also play in the 10 role, although I've always found him at his best running from deep through the middle of midfield and speeding the attack up - potentially meaning less passing back/sideways.

Weirdly jonjo shelvey on a deal till the end of the season wouldn’t actually be a bad deal

Can't believe he's only 32. Always liked him as an attacking central midfielder who could spray quality passes around.

burnleycclaret

On paper we have a good replacement on the bench but the way Trafford has been around the squad this season the bond with other players can’t be forgotten. If he leaves a big part of the buzz at the minute will be gone With Barnes now back in the house I wouldn't be worried with that one. But keepe...

True , but It would be nice to give Cullen in particular a bit of a break.

6 days between Reading and Sunderland so don't think it will be an issue. I've no problem giving squad players minutes but it needs to be mixed with some first team players. Not a complete second string.

I'm an honest guy, so I'll be honest. I think you're a rovers fan, and that's fine no dramas. The timing of your arrival and your heavy knowledge of rovers suggests you have a strong connection with them. I knew of a lad called Hutchy who went to St Christopher's in the 90s. Who knows, might be the...

Ben Mee came here as a full back if I remember rightly and looked a bit too slow, however was it Dyche ( not sure) who moved him to CH and the rest is history as they say, maybe left back is Bashirs new found position going forward in his career.

To me, there’s nothing better than a person with an eye for spotting talent in a footballer using his or her own opinion.

Yeah. For me it should always be both. I'd want the stats to back up what several scouts agree on. Every box needs to be checked before a player signs.

May have already been covered but it's not really a transfer rumour thread, so hard to pick out: Hountoundji expected to join Standard Liege today according to Sacha. Loan without option to buy.

Their thinking is that we bought promotion 2 seasons. And they don't even understand the irony.

I don’t see any value in playing a totally different 11. The idea should be to integrate new signings and bench players into the side so they are sharper when we need them in the league. I know the schedule has been busy. Big Gav might struggle with 4 games in 10 days for the Rose and Crown but our...

Do Reading have any pacey forwards? They are in a lower division but if we put a central defence out such as Worrall Egan, we could be punished with the odd counter.

Man U are currently 6 points clear of the bottom 3. I kind of want them to keep losing just to see it happen.
