A quick read that sums our current lack of transfer movement quite well.

Not too much wrong with that. They are not sure what Mike Rigg will bring to the table like many fans.

A standard / typical modern day football article based on information / opinion from social media / UTC.

The article was very clearly written by someone with not much experience of the subject they have put pen to paper.
No facts, generalised theory, scattergun approach to an extremely competitive and complicated part of the football season.
File in the bin.

Nothing wrong with that analysis. It also doesn’t help that Dyche solely targets vastly overpriced domestic players either.

It's probably a good assessment. We all know the restrictions and that must and continues to be a frustration for Dyche. Hopefully Rigg with his position will find more targets that fit into our structure. It's all about money. It's always going to be a problem for us to compete with any other premier league club.

Our biggest restriction is Dyche being unwilling to leave his comfort zone when it comes to signing players.

It's accurate, but it doesn't tell Burnley fans anything they didn't already know. Other fans, maybe from oversees might find it enlightening as to why we don't wade into the transfer market whenever the window creaks open, but anybody on here could have written that tbh (well ALMOST anybody! :roll: )

Clearly written by a Burnley fan that gets most of their information from forums such as this.

Information that we are already aware of and non Burnley fans don’t give a crap about.
