I love fm but it's the same game that rated Hennings as a defensive forward..

I wouldn't be surprised, we tried to play Barnes and Walters wide at Notts Forest.

I don't have a problem if that's the plan, I just doubt not having a plan b will work.

There are still Middlesbrough fans? I thought they gave up after last season? How can you pay so much yet get relegated. ...and then the following year charge more than 20m for a failed premier league centre back when we sold Keane for 25m. Same age, but seemingly worth the same despite having less ...

Vokes, Barnes, Walters and Wood

Even Agyei plays like a target man.

Predictable how we are going to play and easy to defend against.

Even if we also get a fast striker.

So that's how he lost his voice

Nothing to do with physicality when you watch the kind of goals west brom score from corners. Its more down to cheating. Gotta hope the ref and linesman step in when they hold our players on the floor and push them out of the way. Its simple tactics really, have 3-4 players in the box with no intent...

One of the comments in the Alex Ferguson lost article made me laugh.

Alex Ferguson lost in Blackburn stops and asks a random where Blackburn Rovers is, the random replies: "in league one".

Better than Brighton where we once scraped through after we were the poorer team despite Brighton going down to 9 men.

If I had Defours injury record and I knew full well if I as much as touch a Chelsea player with a tackle they would fall over I would be doing more barrel roles than an air show. Finally we can give teams a taste of their own medicine, finally we are no longer the honest boys who lose out to the che...

I feel like quite a lot of people who post on here don't understand the point of a message board. I'm not why it is. Could it be because there are a lot of older posters or perhaps just because many football fans just haven't posted on other internet forums before? Just because someone points out a ...

Please not another season of the same exact crap said in press conferences before games...It's getting boring hearing about effort for the hundredth time. What about quality?

No need to give him a message, he knows the fans make the club.

Hmm an upgrade... Can't see us signing Ulloa unless Dyche intends having 4 plan A's. Shane Long may be an upgrade but his age...nah don't think so. Duvata doesn't really have a better record than Gray so not sure he's an upgrade..already linked though. Giovinco almost earns as much as Neymar in the ...

superdimitri

Like most clubs now our recruitment pool is mainly judged by stats. Dyche and Chairman with final word but our pool of talent is limited to players that stand out stat wise and those already in the know from previous scouting jobs. I'm sure the reason we haven't removed the over 30 filter so far is ...

Just add a sell on clause related to the number of times he foils first touch and we're sorted. Can't help but think we keep slipping down the ladder in terms of strikers worth. First Rodriguez, then Austin and ings all sold at a time when they were still young and improving. Although ings went for ...

If he has the strength to knock Chiellini off his feet and the right attitude I don't see why he wouldn't be successful with the right management. Gotta remember that Italians park the pus in defence. That won't be the case in the premier league.

Can't see us spending 30m on him though, more like 15.

superdimitri

mohamed69 wrote:Agreed, and I wouldn't pay 30m for any of them!

Much more telling than video clips are the stats over the course of a long season, and his aren't great.

Like when Diego Costa was at Valladolid in 2009-10 and scored 8 goals in 34 or when Luis Suárez was at Gronigan and scored 10 in 29.

superdimitri

Wikipedias stats seem to be wrong, not just for age, but also goals scored.

superdimitri

IndigoLake, seems like Wikipedia is wrong, Napoli's website state he was born in 91. Even better!

Are you sure those stats are right Mo? Scored 27 in 63 games for Udinese don't sound too bad for me..

He makes look Lukaku and Benteke look lightweight. I thought this was a better video, showcasing his talent against the champions. If he can do this for us against top teams for us very promising indeed: https://youtu.be/9joxNE5v28I" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My highlights are at...

superdimitri

Pp make me laugh, good for him to go on loan? Yes. Fleetwood? No better than Fleetwood? And this is a player we fielded last season in the premier league.

If had premier league potential he would go to a championship team.

superdimitri

We played with a front three at the city ground and it didn't work at all. Left our full backs exposed and Nottingham Forest put us on the back foot immediately. It's a formation you have to attack with if you play three forwards like we did and we didn't. The midfield was weak, Defour had the chanc...

If you thought match of the day highlights were inaccurate, these are terrible. It makes us look like the way better team

superdimitri

their number 31 who they got on a "free" from Olympiakos looked better than any of our midfielders. So apparently there's nothing wrong with selling a player for nothing between clubs if they have the same owner. Forest frustrated us with possession much the same as most premier league clubs will, v...

A lot of the problem with talktalk is for market 1 customers. If you live in a built up area on a market 2 or 3 exchange its not as bad. Still they use heavy traffic shaping and have terrible customer service. Good prices though.

superdimitri

They would have to pay me £30 to go with talktalk! Although it does depend where you live. If you are market 1 avoid them like the plague, market 2,3 users might get away with it.

Yup, I agree but the thing is ablueclaret, developing our own youngsters is the Burnley way . Its what we did in the 60s and its what people want to do now too. It doesn't matter how successful it is if it ties in with peoples fetish of wanting to see a Burnley star born and bred again. I like you w...

There I said it. I know no one wants to hear it but it's true. Does anyone realistically think becoming category two will mean we have more youngsters come through? Sorry but this isn't the 60s or 70s anymore and although I would love to see it I don't see it being beneficial at all. Even Manchester...

Sound isn't great on tv's at all. Its quite the opposite. Less space to put your speakers, smaller speakers = worse sound.

Pretty sure it's not BBC filming the games. Local news is filmed in HD but Sky do not provide (or BBC don't pay for) bandwidth for HD broadcasts of all the regional channels. This isn't true at all.

If you have an UHD tv then standard definition material will look awful vs a HD tv, is one of the downsides to an UHD tv. UHD is pointless to about 90% of viewers anyway as they don't sit close enough to benefit from it. Of course sky don't tell you this. If sky cared for their customers they would ...

Nice thread, I do disagree re Bournemouth though, I saw us against them twice this season and they impressed me both times, we were lucky to get a result at home. For me they are a mini Arsenal; you need to have the ability to attack them to get a result. The aspect I am most concerned about is as y...

I don't think he did particularly well at Dusseldorf, 9 goals 3 assists in the second tier so he probably isn't good enough to do well. But then again you can add that to the list of our players who many thought weren't good enough last season. Who knows, at least he is a different kind of player to...

He will love to go back there, I don't think anyone could refuse to play for their own team. But is it really better than getting game time elsewhere?

Nah, Arsenal had to resort to a handball and offside to beat us.
