Re: Gazza a Claret
Was once at an event he spoke at - he said in the late 70s/early 80s it was every lads dream to come through Burnley's youth set up, and only Leeds came close. He attended open trials for both and was never picked up

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
I don't think looking at wingers is the right way to understand this. We have seen a lot of flexibility in all our attackers playing wide, central and up top meaning that we could have as many as 4 starting the match, and 4 subbed on. With a high intensity press they'll be knackered so rotation requ...

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
It's worth noting that last season we were playing with 4 "wingers" in our system with them taking up LM RM AM and CF positions. To do similar and to have sufficient cover we need 2 for each position and then maybe a couple of extra so we don't end up in a pickle with an injury or two. It'll be a re...

Re: Famous Trialists
Was once told by Gazza he attended several trials with us as a schoolboy and we rejected him each time.
He said that us and Leeds were the 2 that every young lad were desperate to be taken on by.
I'm not sure he lived his dream when he did eventually sign for us though

Unlikely Obafemi will be named in the squad with his injury so there's another free space
What I find exciting about this is we aren't going to be a couple of injuries away from bodging a team together and we can rest players in the cup without essentially throwing the tie away
