Looking forward to Watford now.

Think he's borrowed Aaron lennon's tracksuit bottoms

Hope he starts against Watford. The fans need a lift after that window. A goal or two would be incredible!

Dale Stephens looks fit again.....could be an asset going forward.
2 or 3 wins & things will look a lot better.

It’s nice to see Pieters with him as they both speak the same lingo it’s always good to have a compatriot in the club to ease into the group.

Didn't even score a goal

And like most people in the Netherlands they'll also speak English better than many people in England.

Indeed. Always nice to have an early chin wag in your own lingo to get the lie of the land though.

We should get Steve McClaren in the club, he could translate for both sides

I’d be tempted to start Stephens on Saturday with Brownhill being out, he’s better on the ball than Cork.

Got to feel sorry for the guy. The service he will receive from our total lack of creative players will break him. He'll be talking about his 'comfort zone' by the summer before jetting off back to Germany.

When's Maxwel back with the squad?

WW, described as a 'Vollidiot' by one of my German friends !! Apparently tends to be 'spirited' and can speak his mind after the game if he is not happy. Another German friend said he will score goals with the correct service (probably like any other striker)

I is taking a lot of ofense at that uncorect slure.

Can he play against Watford?

I'm unsure of the rules around unvaccinated players - I'd seen mention of a 10 day waiting period but no idea if that's nonsense.

I believe he will have to test on days 2 and 8 after arriving and won't have to isolate unless either test is positive. Think he's had it fairly recently too so should be fine.

He’s been training with the group, clearly no isolation required

Shame there was no clip with the bag of cement, this board would have been able to make a proper assessment of his abilities.

Nah! he's saving them for Saturday.

It's a wonder he can run around with those tight trainer bottoms! Where's Crouchy's old gear?

If that's what they call training I think I might know why we're bottom of the league.

Training with the subs - he will be on the bench on Saturday.

Agree.

Maybe we need to up the sessions to 10 minutes instead

If you're being serious, I doubt we can read anything into that from the warmup.

It’s the Dyche way. I think that it’s highly likely that he will keep things tight with the regular lineup and then use both Wout and Max as all-out impact subs.

If that happens, just watch the meltdown on here.

I don’t think the manager worries about what’s on here and says that he generally ignores such “outside noise”.

Well we were told on here that it would be Christmas before we saw Cornet start games

Was Cornet on the video?

Has he got back yet?

Get both Wout and Max in the starting eleven. It will give us all a lift and create some positivity.

In a reactive way, do you mean, when we're behind?

It is obvious from the video that he has no left foot. Could be an advantage in certain circumstances especially if he is positioned on the right wing as he can save his left for late in games when it will be fresh.

You would hope so, both players are probably our most match fit players at the moment but it's Dyche so probably both on the bench until the 80th minute just to remind us he's the boss

Think we need to get our best players in the pitch. Not huff and puff then bring them on when it’s too late. We need to be at it at the off and get on top in this game.

Just recalling another game v Watford where we kept our best players on the bench.

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but the ipaper yesterday was very complimentary about the lad and quoted one or two European football recruitment experts who thought we'd played a blinder signing him.
There was similar stuff reported this morning and now the dust has settled somewhat after the bickering over the perceived failure/success of the window, I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised, nay shocked, by Wout's impact.
We've got to start him on Saturday and absolutely rip into Watford from the off but, of course, being very wary of counter-attacks.
If Weghorst plays, I reckon he's nailed on to score.

I also fancy him to cause a fair bit of havoc against United.

Certainly better than many in Burnley.

True.
Like when the muppets on here were shouting for Mee to be shifted into the middle, and away from LB where he was painfully obviously way too slow.

I think when they gave him the top he would have been very pleased to be wearing the Orange and thinking how his Burnley career can help his international career also.
