They're going for promotion and looking very likely to succeed in that now, so with the money that brings in I doubt they'll feel they need to sell anyone at this point. They held firm in the summer and their league position will make it likely they'll hold ever firmer this window.

ksrclaret

I think Brighton have made it pretty clear they're not selling, not for £2.5m or £7m, and this despite the player openly admitting he wanted to leave last summer.

ksrclaret

Where has the £2.5m bid come from? Didn't we have at least £7m rejected in August?

ksrclaret

That's fair enough, but in a previous post you did say that it was only a matter of time until Marney broke down. That infers that our medical staff haven't done their job properly, it also is making a wild assumption as to the nature and severity of Marney's injury. It's a little early to speculat...

Leaving aside the usual sarcasm, I'm just pointing out that they've taken a risk with Marney as Dyche himself has told us Marney has on-going nerve damage.

Rileybobs wrote:Glad we've got such highly proficient sport scientists on this board.

Not specifically a sports scientist but I am a neuroscientist - fair to say nerve damage will have affected Marney badly and increased the chances of sustaining muscular/ ligament damage. It sounds like that's happened today.

ksrclaret

He's not been fully fit for a good number of months now, was only a matter of time until he broke down.

With Marney out for what looks like a long period, Barton about to get a ban and Defour's inability to last the 90; another CM has suddenly become vital this window.

ksrclaret

Christ I hope you're right, we're long overdue an away result.

Last 3 games we've lost narrowly 2-1 at Spurs, City and Arsenal and have played pretty well on the whole. You'd hope going to the likes of Watford and Hull that those performances can be translated into points.

"Mistake aside Ben Mee was excellent"

If I had a quid for every time I've seen that this season...

ksrclaret

We don't really need you to wind us up today Katie, the officials have gotten there first.

ksrclaret

Officials no longer capable of doing the job, any of them.

Well if Barton receives the ban we're down to 2 CM's - will need another one in if it's a bad one.

ksrclaret

**** I remember all too well what happened last time Marney got injured at this time of year.

ksrclaret

We've had this against City and Utd - has Dyche learnt how to deal with yet?

ksrclaret

Crikey they've got a bit of pace on the break haven't they

ksrclaret

Good work by the lads, we've done well.

ksrclaret

Defour finding some really good passes

ksrclaret

I'd like to see us making a bid for their number 7 this window

ksrclaret

No he's made the right decision to earn as much money as he can in his short career, and he's no doubt a fantastic player.

But let's not pretend he's all about the game and not the money, because it's obviously not true.

ksrclaret

Shearer reckons Wayne Rooney has a superb attitude and would play for £50 a week.

He must have forgotten that bit when he wanted to leave unless he got £200,000 a week.

ksrclaret

He's finished.

Lino wasn't giving anything so Mike Dean decides to give the pen despite being 20 yards behind the incident, and gets it horribly wrong again.

ksrclaret

No wonder everyone seems to be after Barnsley's players, they're the youngest side in the league and look more than decent.

ksrclaret

Swansea result was a bad one for us but I'd happily see them stay up at the expense of Boro or Palace.

ksrclaret

Boro losing is the highlight of today

ksrclaret

Palace 0-1 Everton

ksrclaret

That Djilobodji fella looks awful, can't believe how bad he's looked at the Turf in the last couple of weeks.

Boro 1-2 West Ham

West Brom 2-0 Sunderland

West Brom 1-0 Sunderland

ksrclaret

So Bournemouth still can't defend then...

ksrclaret

I reckon there'll be a number of teams who're more concerned with this result than we are right now.

We've got a really good sum of points on the board already, and the confidence and ability to take care of ourselves.

ksrclaret

Seems Brady's missus has jumped the gun on this one - their offer for the house has been rejected I understand and another bid is not welcome.

When I hear anything of anymore substance I'll put it out there.

ksrclaret

At the beginning of the season possibly not, but now our new players have had time to gel they've formed a team miles better than what we had last time. Okay on occasion we miss the individual talent of Ings and Trippier, but we now have much more strength, athleticism and most importantly PL know-h...

ksrclaret

It's certainly an aggressive approach from us whatever the situation. Good to see.

Interesting. Can't see them accepting, but if reports Norwich are holding out on selling Brady until they get a replacement are true it could well hurry things along there.

We'll see what happens.

ksrclaret

Really tough decisions for Dyche to make now. He's got Keane and Mee who were the bedrock of our 23 game unbeaten run and on the whole have performed very well so far, albeit with Mee making more (noticeable) errors than Keane. He's then got Tarkowski waiting in reserve who's shown himself to be far...

ksrclaret

He's probably entitled to feel aggrieved about his lack of action, because judging from the few times we've seen him he's looked absolute quality. The most pleasing thing though is he's obviously bought into the group just as the regular starters have and can come in and play like that when required...

ksrclaret

Tarkowski is one hell of a player. Outstanding tonight against PL opposition (just).

ksrclaret

Whilst Brady is better than what we have, there's no way he's sufficiently better to warrant double the wage of our next highest earner.

A shame if it's true, because I can't see us reaching a deal and he could have done real well with us.

ksrclaret

Our poor away form leaves me expecting around 5 points, but if we can play with the same confidence in some of those 'easier' away games between 8-10 is perfectly achievable.

ksrclaret

He'd probably still be under the radar if it wasn't for the incident at Chelsea a couple of years ago. But in answer to the question, yes I think everyone knows his game now. I personally wouldn't ever want to see Barnes change or lose his nasty streak, he gives opposing CB's such a tough time and i...

ksrclaret

Absolutely we do, yes.

The players have performed magnificently and we're sat in a fantastic league position so we must take advantage of that and use it to attract players who'll improve us. Brady is in that category and I hope we get him.

ksrclaret

I'd be delighted if crooked BFS took Palace down - sadly I think they'll just scrape survival though.

ksrclaret

He's a Champions League defender no doubt - has everything you'd want in a modern day centre-half.

Romeu was very good in the first half but we got much more joy around him in the second, but I agree he should have walked for two blatant yellow case offences.

ksrclaret

Very impressive today and looks like he knows he belongs as this level now.

ksrclaret

Heaton 9
Lowton 8
Keane 7
Mee 7
Ward 8
Boyd 7
Marney 6
Hendrick 8
Defour 7
Barnes 7
Gray 6

Magnificent win. Joey Barton is a claret.

ksrclaret

My turn...

Is it Jeff?

ksrclaret

Leeds were very impressive but my word, Derby were absolutely abysmal.

ksrclaret

I've read on sky that Ranieri says he's only got room for two left-sided players in his squad (Fuchs and Chilwell) hence letting Schlupp leave.

There's not a huge difference between Schlupp and Brady.
