Some right fannies on this thread isn’t there…

99.9% of all football clubs in the world sell their players if asset valuations are met..

We’ve been like this all of our existence, it’s just in the past 40 years we haven’t had many players that other teams wanted!!

Relax and enjoy the ride… see you at the SOL tomorrow UTC

[AGENT_CLARET]

I know things are a bit crazy at Everton at the moment but their latest signing looks a bit of a stiff

None, I'd imagine. Which would explain why we haven't.

Not yet, but If O’Shea and Brownhill follow Muric out of the revolving door we are well on the way.

[ElectroClaret]

How many of the starting 11 against Cardiff last weekend have been sold

Suspect it's none as we stand....Guddy was a sub.

[AfloatinClaret]

When money is needed to keep something in business everything becomes about money.

Football is a product, we are the customers, the players are the commodity.

Money rules all.

To be fair there seems to be a lot on here who haven't yet grasped the economic realities of the grown up world; they'll soon learn when dad stops handing out their pocket money and they have to buy their own pants and shoes

[ElectroClaret]

You've noticed....

[Clovius Boofus]

And then do what ?

I’m no fan of the owners for sure but you think that they are prepared to sell every player and end up with no players ? So effectively drop out of all the leagues and end up with no club ?

You must struggle with comprehension. I said 'feels like it'. Also, you mention debts. I wonder why that is? We all know why. We are simply a financial engineering vehicle.

Nope I don’t struggle with comprehension cheers.
I also understand our financial position better than most and have posted my dislike of it.

Stiil not really sure how it can “feel like” we would sell every player and be left with no playing staff when we are buying players….but if that’s how you feel hey ho

It says there is now a Fatwa on Kompany.

It ain’t half hot, mum!

I was just about to post, someone just told him VK has been announced as their new manager

[GetIntoEm]

Has Alan or the club consulted the fans on this transfer business? Shocking

Needs to come out and say something

Wow that face; Are we sure he left on his own free will or is the 1.5m being quoted really a ransom demand?

[Blyclaret]

Ok fans it’s Alan here. Burnley is now a trading business. We buy and sell players for a profit that’s the business we are in.

[clarethomer]

I think the reaction on here at times is priceless.

The squad depth needs reducing. Most sensible fans will see that the time to make judgement will be when the window closes.

We have had a brilliant start to the season so far, but with the reaction on here, you think we hadn't.

[Andingle]

Not yet, but If O’Shea and Brownhill follow Muric out of the revolving door we are well on the way.

Have we not already brought in replacements for Muric & O'Shea , if Brownhill was to go , without a doubt we'd be bringing in a replacement for him.

[Woodleyclaret]

I though we were very close on Tuesday to signing Haniball from Man U is this now not happening?

[Sapperclaret73]

Massively bloated squad, which we all knew needed trimming. We’re doing that, getting some good fees and loans for our players. The key is balance and knowing when to stop. We cannot risk our chances of being promoted.


I think we also need a few additions in key areas. To refresh and energise the squad.

We’ve just got to sit tight and try to enjoy the ride.

[Clovius Boofus]

Nope I don’t struggle with comprehension cheers.
I also understand our financial position better than most and have posted my dislike of it.

You understand our financial position better than most? That's quite a bold statement. Some might say even arrogant. Thing is, though, this financial understanding of yours might be quite low bar, if its on the same level as your comprehension. But like you say, hey ho.

[Tinribs]

Not many clubs rip out the spine of the team and go on to have a successful season.

Apart from us two years ago
Pope
Mee
Tarks
McNeil
Cornet
Etc…

“Al-Orobah can confirm Johann Berg Gudmundsson has left to rejoin Burnley. Everyone at Al-Orobah would like to thank Johann for his efforts over the last 15 minutes”

[jojomk1]

The Balance Sheet trumps the Team Sheet every time.

See Chelsea, Man Utd and how many other Premier League clubs

Arrogant eh ?
Or maybe it’s been my job for the last 35 years.
But feel free to post your “high bar” of knowledge on the financial threads rather than post abuse on here

[bumba]

Have we not already brought in replacements for Muric & O'Shea , if Brownhill was to go , without a doubt we'd be bringing in a replacement for him.

It's just always just about replacements it's about creating team morale and having a connection with the fans, players that put a shift in for the shirt.
I think it's vital we keep Brownhill

[Clovius Boofus]

Not only arrogant, but now you're telling people what to do and where to post. You're quite a card, aren't you.

MOD: If posters do not like acidic remarks please do not make unnecessarily acidic posts. Please, cut it out and move on both of you.

[Cooclaret]

I though we were very close on Tuesday to signing Haniball from Man U is this now not happening?

I’ve heard form a United lad that he’s been given a different clubs offer to consider, but he’s been ‘in the building’ and was keen.

I thought we might’ve had one if not two more articles today!

[Andingle]

I'd like Brownhill stay ideally , he's an integral part of the team but with him being a free agent in the summer and if he's not likely to sign a new contract , I'd not blame the club for selling him if we can bring in a suitable replacement.

[Guller Bull]

Just had chance to watch the Bashir Humphreys and Joe Worrall interviews. Both cam across really well and I think they will be just what we need!

Have we sold Worrall yet

... Do remind me what happened in the 70s when we did the same with our young stars?

[burnley007]

Have we sold Worrall yet

That made me laugh out loud

[kentonclaret]

Have we sold Worrall yet

Of course not his leadership qualities will be vital.

[Hbclaret007]

Of course not his leadership qualities will be vital.

There must be a profit to be made however

[claretskeith]

Of course not his leadership qualities will be vital.

If someone comes in with the right offer, he'll be off.

[expoultryboy]

Last seen going over the alps on an elephant.

[bfcjg]

Oh bugger,they've just sold me.

[agreenwood]

The squad is “bloated”, but we’ve gone about trimming it in very lobsided way so far. We now look short in a few positions.

[GetIntoEm]

We've still got the best squad in the division. That shows how bloated it was

[RVclaret]

The squad is “bloated”, but we’ve gone about trimming it in very lobsided way so far. We now look short in a few positions.

I think ‘so far’ is doing a lot of the work here. It seems 3 centre backs leaving next week at a minimum and we’ll be signing a midfielder & wide attackers.

[wadeswondergoal]

It’s gone very quiet on the incomings front given how convinced some were on here a few days ago of signing Hannibal, Sarmiento and Johnston.

[agreenwood]

We've still got the best squad in the division. That shows how bloated it was

I think we’ve got the most talented defence and defensive depth in the division.

Have we got the best central midfield without Berge? How much depth do we have there?

Have we got the best wide men in the division? With Tresor absent/coming back from ill health, Agyei yet to kick a ball for us and coming back from a long term knee injury and Redmond out for the foreseeable future, how much depth do we have there?

Is Foster the best striker in the division? Is 35 yo Rodriguez and an as yet unproven Hountdonji sufficient depth?

I’d say the sales of the last 7 days have left some serious questions that didn’t exist last week.

[KefkaClaret]

Bit concerned about right wing, only Vitinho and Benson can naturally play there and Benson has been linked away.

[Colburn_Claret]

Things going quiet doesn't mean a lot. The club like keeping their cards close the their chest. Some of these incoming might depend on certain departures, who knows.

[jedi_master]

The business has left holes but we’re clearly in the market for two wingers and a central midfielder. If Amdouni is sold (which I’d be pretty furious at considering the revenue brought in, it’s needless) you’d assume we will sign a striker too.

[agreenwood]

I think ‘so far’ is doing a lot of the work here. It seems 3 centre backs leaving next week at a minimum and we’ll be signing a midfielder & wide attackers.

I can only comment on the current situation. It’s not a given that things will perfectly align over the next 7 days.

We’ve signed players to replace ones who haven’t yet left and not replaced any of the players who have left this past week.

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Basically all these posts about brownhill are based on one post that was from a palace fan saying he had heard they were in for brownhill? about the same basis that the rumours about Esteve were based on. Don’t know about the spine of the team being ripped out as it sounds like it has from a section of the fans on here.

True, it does have a feel of chasing our tails a bit.

Genuine question- does he want to be here?
