Not a link so apologies for putting it in here.

But does anyone else think the blocks are falling into place for a tella return?

Leverkusen stocking up on players in that area, and seemingly we are moving a few out.

Can we keep this thread to actual links?

Absolutely nothing stopping someone starting a thread on Nathan Tella if they want to keep the fantasy going for another preseason.

I’d have Koleosho and Tresor over Brun Larsen, a bizarre signing when we already had an abundance of wide players.
That will be based on their PL goalscoring exploits, no doubt. :D

Disagree . Leading scorer last time in this league . Clever player . How much was it ..£4 million and he s 26 . Watching him and Sander Berg one of the few entertaining parts of that season.

If you'd asked all Burnley fans in December that season (when Koleosho got injured) who was the better winger and the more entertaining player between Koleosho and JBL the answers would have been pretty unanimous in saying Koleosho.

Couldn't see Koleosho scoring a goal like JBL did at Luton in a million years.

Maybe but that's because JBL only got a run starting in the 2nd half of the season.. coming off injury the previous season . Look at some of his goals that season ..reflects that he has good quality. He s a smarter player than Koleosho ..5 years older which may be part of the reason for this .

Brun Larsen can’t get regular football anywhere he goes, we needed quality and Brun Larsen is another quantity signing when the last thing we needed was bodies especially in forward areas.

Calling Koleosho one of our 'star players' is a stretch to say the least

Contributes pretty much nothing except pace although he is skilled at spectacularly not making a final pass.

Appreciate he is young, but he possibly one of the most frustrating players I have seen at Burnley in a while - He wouldn't be getting much game time in the top flight anyway at Burnley I suspect, so a loan deal should suit all parties.

But you said you'd rather have Tresor or Koleosho than Brun Larsen, and I don't think either is any better.

Brun Larson was just about our best player in the Kompany EPL season. I was disappointed when he left.

Koleosho has had a frustrating last 18 months and still very raw for this level. He’s got potential, wouldn’t count as a squad place, and possesses the pace to be an asset on the break for a side that expects to be on the back foot most games this season.

However, he’s down the pecking order in a squad stacked with wingers, and for his confidence as much as his development, I think this is a good move for him. I suspect it’s been part of the early talks with Espanyol as a kind of ALK sweetener. Whether that benefits Burnley FC is open to debate and only time will tell.
