I only caught the last 20 mins but he played exactly as he does for us. Although I never saw him carry the ball, defensively he is coolness personified.

Those forward movements with the ball make him a unique talent as a back four player.

Imperative we make him ours for next season.

On a different note......those photos of yesteryear are so badly missed....Is there not potential for a new thread ?

Only watched the 2nd half, but your right. He only made one forward surge, that I saw anyway.
Always looks really composed on the ball and, seems to have loads of time.

He’s a special talent. And those slaloming runs out of defence have been one of the (many) highlights from this season. Hope the rumours are true that we have an option and that we take it up.

Fast becoming my favourite player - he’s great to watch, defensively and with the ball at his feet. He seems to stroll through games and makes it look pretty bloody easy.

Don't want this to distract from the Beyer discussion but we were heavily linked with Amir Hadžiahmetović, he wanted to stay in Turkey and signed for Beşiktaş.

I would think we will sign two central midfielders in the summer but that's guesswork rather than with any real substance to back it up.

Is he Premier League standard, Goody ?

We really want to be able to compete next season......not just making up the numbers.

The keeper and back four are so strong (Ekdal will be desperately unlucky to miss out).....but we must strengthen elsewhere.

We were all excited about his clips on YouTube (I know that's not always the truest reflection), he seemed to be a decent all round midfielder at a good age.

Was he Premier League standard? Impossible to tell.

If we can be as good in the transfer market this summer as we were last then we have a real chance, the issue is the bar has been raised as well as the fees and wages.

The bar most certainly has been raised again and if Ratcliffe is successful in acquiring United then we are entering a different world.......but, what the hell, let's be part of it in our own unique Burnley way.

all day long we need 2 top drawer (as much as we can afford) midfielders, it's our glaring weakness imho

Cullen looks top notch at this level. Hopefully I’m wrong but I’m not sure if he will be effective enough at the level above.

Agree - midfield is the key.

No where near the best centre half we've had, but definitely the best footballing centre half we've possibly ever had.

He suits us.

He is without doubt my favourite Burnley player.
The option to buy is an absolute cert on promotion.
Mönchengladbach's directer admittedly said it was out of their hands now even though they would love him to come back after his performances this season.
The only things stopping a deal now is us as a club not persuing a full time deal or if Beyer decided not to sign.

Beyer will 100% be ready to sign, and play alongside Harwood-Bellis in the PL next season.

I think they have already come to the conclusion that it was the wrong decision to include any option. Hence the recent visits for some negotiations.

Just watch out for the charm offensive coming from Mönchengladbach for the rest of the season. Jordan has already said that it is going to be a tough decision coming in the summer as he has love for both clubs

From what I've seen so far I think defensively Ekdal seems the best. He reads the game so well which makes his job easier. John Terry like. He's also the oldest which may well be why he reads play better than the others.

Beyer is not quite as good at reading the game, but a bit faster and better dribbling forward. At times he's not strong enough.

Harwood-Bellis can pick a pass better but seems to lose concentration quite a bit off the ball. He's also a very good dribbler.

Al Dakhil has a bit of pace to him but doesn't read the game to well.

Given they are all so young they are all going to become excellent defenders.

A great position to be in, even if Beyer or Harwood-Bellis don't become permanent. Ideally we keep all 4.

I get the impression McNally is not deemed to be good enough on the ball.

For me it should be Beyer and Ekdal with Harwood-Bellis not far behind.

The pull for all of these loan players to sign next year is massive. ALL of them.

-They're more or less assured of 30+ prem appearances at their age

-They LOVE it here

-Going back to their clubs they're all (Beyer aside probably) not going to be starting XI

-They know VK will strengthen and will feel like top 10 or even top 7 is possible and likely the aim from within camp IMO

-Get them all signed with +2 CMs, same model but a step up in quality (so they're PL ready) and we're good 👍 UTC
