Excellent. Absolutely made up with this.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Sep 09, 2024 5:41 pm

It's excellent. He had two years still to run on the previous deal but this could be a further four years. Good to hear the comments on how things are under the new manager too.

Great news, sounds very promising about Parker too I'm not sure he was anybody's first choice but I think he's starting to win everyone over and is giving off a very good feeling at the moment.

Excellent loyalty unlike other's

Parker has clearly given the place the big lift it needed

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Sep 09, 2024 5:49 pm

I know Cullen still had two years but while updating the squad list to reflect his new deal I looked at who was now in their last year at Burnley - currently just

CJ Egan-Riley
Josh Brownhill
Jay Rodriguez
Connor Roberts

Absolutely agree Agent-he has acted in the utmost professional way, and put some of the recent leavers to shame. And great feedback on the camp, and the manager which is so positive too.There are ways of leaving a club without burning your bridges-football fans have very long memories

Cullen is a top pro, great player and properly gets the club.

At £2.5m you could argue he was Kompany’s best £ for £ signing.

Happy about this and his comments on Parker bode well.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Mon Sep 09, 2024 6:08 pm

It is good and good to see a player who is committed to the club after all the unrest during the transfer window. His comments, especially 'like a breath of fresh air' speaks volumes.

He’s a pivotal player for us.

So pleased about Josh's commitment to the club and the positive comments about Scott Parker.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Sep 09, 2024 6:42 pm

This is the sort of stability we need. Too many players coming and going. Josh has done really well for us and is one of the players we need to keep and build the team around.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Sep 09, 2024 6:43 pm

And also good news that he’s closing in on fitness

And given that Josh was assumed to be a key Kompany man when he signed that comment really does speak volumes to me!

Great news on the extension. We need him fit and back asap.

Great to sign Josh 1. Now we need to get Josh 2 to extend if possible. Jay and CJ not so much
Nice to have some positive news

Brownhill will be a hot property on a free next summer I’d imagine, but contrary to rumours around Everton, Wolves, West Ham etc over the last year or so I truly think that Burnley as a Premier League club is his limit (not a dig at him).

Unless he gets a bumper offer from Saudi or something, I reckon he’d re-sign if we get promoted.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Mon Sep 09, 2024 7:03 pm

Good news. Josh is a "trencher". He will give you everything he's got and is an exemplary professional.

Another good sign re. SP.

Is his statement concerning a difference in atmosphere around the place the most "open" made by a player? Seems so to me but the end of the window wasted my mind.

Trencher, good description.

I reckon that if Pace took anything away from what Checketts rightly said in MTB2, it was the “Who are our guys?” bit. Cullen has to be one of those that we build our team around for the next 3 years for sure.

This is excellent news simply because it stops in it's tracks the 'here you are, there you go' impression, which has been created in the Kompany years.

"He also had words about the change that brought Scott Parker to Burnley: “It’s been great,” he said. ““It’s been great,” he said. “A great breath of fresh air around the place, fresh ideas and a fresh voice. I speak on behalf of all of the squad when I say everyone enjoys working with him. We’re really enjoying it and looking forward to the rest of the season.”reath of fresh air around the place, fresh ideas and a fresh voice. I speak on behalf of all of the squad when I say everyone enjoys working with him. We’re really enjoying it and looking forward to the rest of the season.”
That statement speaks volumes not only about Kompany, but especially about Parker, I also think it's a rallying cry to the fans who weren't fully on board or had doubts about Scott Parker.

He can say nice things about Parker all day long, the results and performances will do the talking and so far Kompanys Championship side absolutely destroys this lot.

I remain positive and hopeful and I do like Parker as a person, so far the football has been really disappointing and quite dull.

‘Quite dull’…………!?

Cardiff home………..

B’strds home……….

Yeah, that’s dull…….

Definitely, I liked the way he came.out trying to get the crowd going as well before the derby game. None of the over the top stuff like Eustace tapping his chest like he'd been a life long fan.
I've also noticed he's out pre match in amongst the players during the warm ups, don't recall ever seeing VK pre match on the pitch.

To make a fair comparison it needs to be against early season kompany, we have more points now.

Kompany’s championship team that ended the season or Kompany’s championship team that took 5 points from the first four games?

Either way, it’s a bit of a strange thing to say at this stage of the season when you are well aware of what’s has just happened over the last two weeks of the transfer window.

4-1 away at Luton
5-0 at home to Cardiff then had the squad ripped apart.
Early season with VK in charge wasn't good at all, that's how deluded you are about him.

I'd also argue Parkers Fulham and Bournemouth of the championship would have destroyed VK's early season Burnley too.

Parker has done that every game, I can't recall any other Burnley manager ever having done that. It's something Moyes, I think, has always done, and Klopp too.

He said it because the whole place was toxic with Kompany. He had all but destroyed the place. It's debatable who still loves Kompany the most, you or Pace, but you need to move on. He'd no interest in Burnley FC at all and we are better off rid of him.

Wow ….. i stopped reading this post after calling our current team …. This lot.
Anyway back to title. Excellant news.. Cullen a top professional deserves his contract
Great to hear the mood has changed and the toxic mood has gone with previous manager
Onwards and upward Parker has my full support.

I’d be willing to hazard a guess that it’s Kompany that loves Kompany the most.
