Sunderland must think they have a decent defence after last season, you have to defend goals as well as score them.

What is the obsession with Sunderland? They’re doing their business and we’re doing ours. We can only control what we do. We can’t rely on 3 teams being worse than us, we have to do our thing and see how it goes. Just chill out and try to enjoy it.

Brilliant isn't it? They'll be safe by October, just like Sheffield United had run away with the league three years ago.

The tweet that links Browny to Leicester also says "he admires the project at #LUFC but doesn't know if it's reciprocal"

Brownhill to LCFC makes sense. Wants a challenge. The impending points deduction provides just that.

*Disclaimer - plenty of respect for all JB did for us.

Wondering if Brownhill might have overplayed his hand a little, and backed himself into a position whereby we ended up moving on and deciding to gamble on Ramsay/Tresor/Flemming/Hannibal as our No10 solution?

I think there may well be another DM to come in just yet, to play alongside Cullen / Hannibal with Laurent very much as backup

In the PL, Brownhill maybe just isn't as enticing a prospect as his demands might have required him to be....

I’ve commented on this multiple times but there seems to be some confusion.

We could sign a player today for £10m on a 4 year deal, and the amortisation contribution to the 2024-25 accounting period would be immaterial (£6750). We could have signed someone in the past week and that would range from £6750 (today) to £47,000 (7 days ago), also immaterial. When I say immaterial, I’m meaning for PSR reasons. It’s highly probable we were enough above the line, prior to Trafford going, but particularly with that sale, definitely well above the line.

This is the problem with wrong information, if repeated often enough it becomes fact. This window will follow pretty much how most do, some signings at the start 1 or 2 in the middle and then a few at the end.

It feels like the 90s and Boxing day sales are 24 hours away and punters can't wait for some.

At the risk of upsetting people, and in lieu of any Burnley news, Sunderland are definitely getting that Guiu on loan from Chelsea.

Disclaimer - I'm not a Sunderland fan, nor am I hoping they finish above us. I'm simply sharing some summer transfer news because I know he's been discussed by Burnley fans as a potential signing.

Not bothered about that, I wouldn't want to waste a premier league loan on someone so inexperienced. I'm sure he's got talent but he's only played 6 top flight games plus 13 in the Spanish third tier.

Fully agree with that, I would much prefer us signing Vardy (20 years his senior) for a year.

In fact I would rather Vardy comes in than anyone else at this moment in time.

This may be wishful thinking, but if we are after kinkoue, adopo, diouf (if that was ever happening) they are all French and Tchaouna and Esteve may have played with them at some point. Wonder if they are involved in trying to get them to sign here?

I wouldn't have thought we will be signing centre backs, having six already, ie Steeeve, Worrall, Humphreys, Beyer, Tuanzebe and Ekdal competing for two positions.

Sean Dyche managed with just three, ie Tarks, Mee and Long in the Prem for many years!

Beyer wont be around the first team anytime soon and Humphreys is also out injured.

I don't know if this has been shared before:

Exclusive: Burnley have made a bid for Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka. Fee around £2m.

Newcastle prepared to sell with Aaron Ramsdale set to sign for the club.

I remember going down to Southampton a good few years ago now and Broja was excellent for them. He got the better of Tarkowski physically on a number of occasions and not many forwards could do that.

Unfortunately, that was so long ago now we still had Dyche in charge and Cornet I think was making his debut for us. He's not kicked on whatsoever since then.

Injuries have plagued him but if fit he definitely has the physique and attributes for the premier league . He will likely end up with a loan move again.

PSR. I know your interpretation of how the cost of the player is amortised over the period of the contract, but there any many trusted sources stating August 1st before we make more signings.

Regarding the Dubravka link, he is Ok as a keeper, a slight downgrade on Trafford, but is 36 and has never played much so one could ask if a 38 game season is too much for him physically and mentally.

I could reluctantly accept that if money is tight and the bulk of Traff’s fee goes to a striker of the calibre of a Mikautadze or Mitrovic, somebody of that ilk. But if that isn’t to be the case I’d prefer us to lock in that defence again with a high calibre keeper signing - like Pope, Livakovic, the Brazilian guy from Botafogo etc.

You mention dubravka being able to play 38 games. The Brazilian keeper from botafogo was a 29 and only played 83 games in his career. Livakovic would be the keeper for me, don’t think he would cost more than 10m
