The “where are we up to” thread

[Vegas Claret]

I was thinking what Josh Laurent must be thinking, this time last season he was preparing for a nothing season with Stoke and now he's in the Premier League in the same side as Kyle Walker ! He must be pinching himself !

Pope is coming back?

Who knew?

[agreenwood]

Two of the biggest concerns coming into the PL was whether we’d be able to significantly upgrade the centre of midfield and strike force.

We’ve touched neither so far.

[Guller Bull]

Pope is coming back?

Who knew?

Yeah that was remnant from when it was looking possible of some kind of Trafford / Pope swap deal. Still might happen

Surely something has got to happen in those departments soon (and also outgoings!)

[Woodleyclaret]

I hope we have a decent sell.on clause on Dara Costelloe because he will be a star in Div 1 this year.

[Guller Bull]

I think this were we at? Guessing at first 11 and possible sub bench but so much to happen yet.

In t’others list Rumours are that Massengo in talks and Agyei (injured) Is Churlinov still with us?

[Guller Bull]

Amdouni out for a while.
Agyei likewise?

Massengo gone


One player we haven’t considered is Adewumi. I know he is U21s but spent the season very successfully at Dundee. Will he go out on loan again or will he get a slot?

You don't need to be a football expert to see we look incredibly weak in centre mid and upfront. Probably need another 10 out of the door as well. Busy few weeks ahead...

[ClaretPete001]

The irony is we could probably field a Burnley A and Burnley B that would do well in the Championship but it's hard to look at the first 11 and think it has any chance in the PL as it stands.

Mind you it looks better than last time when 98 per cent on here thought we would survive in the PL.
