I like what I have seen when Tarks has had to play midfield. Skillful and imposing

Be interesting to know who those 3 or 4 players are but understand why Dyche
is keeping his cards close to his chest.
Whoever they may be hope we manage to get one or two in and more
importantly hope they're of the calibre that will improve the first team.

What we need is Dyche to sign 3 world class players that are household names, then announce that we missed out on the ones we really wanted.

At this time of the season we need players who can come straight in and do the job. Or we get an experienced midfield loan signing till end of season.

Routledge , Ince ,Ulloa and Roberts are the four targets, you heard it here first.

A chance with 3 or 4. Let's hope the chance isn't "No f-ckin".

If one of those is Snodgrass then I think we can already say it's two or three as opposed to three or four.

Its going to be very tight to get 1 in never mind the 3-4 we desperately need, we should have moved the Leicester game to give us extra time.

Which begs the question why have we wasted our time chasing a player who doesn't want to come and who's wages we can't afford.

Snodders
Brades
Westside

That'll be the four I reckon. Failing those I'll go for OGS, Riordan, Driver and Shotton.

Ince and Clough heard it on the grapevine here in sunny Wiltshire, if its got down this far it must be true. Arfield and Kightly leaving.

We can't plan for who other clubs do.
Preferring one club to another is different to not wanting to go somewhere in the first place. The same with wages, seems we could afford him but Hammers offered more.
If no one else wanted him this window I'm pretty sure he'd be signing for Burnley.

Too many people mentioning Ince, he's ******* **** !
I have it from a reliable source that Dyche would like to sign
Messi
Neymar
Suarez
Lewandowski
Would leave us a but light in midfield, manager is clueless

We usually struggle to get one over the line on the January deadline God help us with four and a game against Leicester.

Brady looks nailed on, if he moves clubs.
The rest....anyone's guess is as good as the next. Tomorrow being another day!

Messi - too old!
Neymar - too lightweight!
Suarez - too mouthy!
Lewandowski - Who are these two?
As for Ince isn't he scared of spiders!
Bored with all this transfer news now, knackered my brain hurts.

With Marney out for the season and Bamford's loan ended we needed to replace them as a minimum but we really needed a winger and a creative midfielder as well. Hopefully Brady will fill one one place. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't swoop at the last minute for a striker and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Jordan Rhodes being subject to a punt from us. Perhaps Gradel as a loan or Grosicki if nothing else materialises. I know everyone was fed up with the Lansbury saga but with Marney out at £3m he would have been a snip and now looks like a lost opportunity,

United deciding to keep Ashley Young.
Sky - "Manchester United have reportedly decided to keep Ashley Young this month.
The 31-year-old had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford due to a lack of regular playing time.
But the Manchester Evening News say Jose Mourinho has "no intention" of letting Young leave after Memphis Depay's move to Lyon."

He had already said Young was never available for a loan move on a sale if he was to leave, didn't stop post after post about get him on loan, maybe this will.

Targets are exactly that. TARGETS!
It's like saying I've got my eye on knobbing 3 or 4 girls I know. Doesn't mean that it's going to happen.
What I have learnt in my many years of supporting the Clarets is to expect the unexpected.

Dyche said 3 or 4 targets that are progressing (or words to that effect). I`m guessing he has discussed a lot more players than that in the last few months.
So to carry on with your crude analogy you would need to have had "t*ts over the jumper" !!!
Re: "Three or Four Targets" - Dyche

So one has said no (Snodgrass). Which leaves 3. If Brady was one of those 3 then tits over the jumper is as far as it went before she realised she could do better.
That leaves us about 3 days to get laid from a possible 1 or maybe 2 girls. I think come Weds we might have to settle for throwing one over the knuckles. It will be that way until the summer is my guess.

Hopefully we`ll catch a couple of beauties before then - in the style of Debbie McGee / Mrs Merton interview
"So Robbie what attracted you to the multi million pound salary package offered in the dark satanic corner of East Lancashire ?"
