Whatever the validity of this so-called L’equipe info, there is a bit too much out there suggesting Cornet isn’t interested for comfort.

Forgot we can't edit, so this is replying to both you and Dsr Think CP is bang on the money regarding MG and the plans, and that coronavirus seriously got in the way, and I have my suspicions that the fall out began long before that That would probably point to the reason being closer to the former...

FWIW I wasn't having a dig I think if Garlick stayed and Dyche left then the vast majority of fans would have turned on Garlick, and in a rather nasty way too from some of them. What I saw from his tenure was an effort to try and give the manager, as many tools as he could for the job, but also hav...

more than he would ever have expected when he put is money in certainly, but not a huge return so far - maybe two to four times his total in money a few things to remember - it was Mike that stumped up the cash for shares (and risk) when others wanted/needed out - he has put well over of a decade o...

If it is correct that ALK still owe £70m to Mike G and John B then you would assume on a pro rata basis that Mike G still has the largest amount owed to him - on that basis to date he has only received a small amount amount of the circa £75m he was entitled to from the sale - probably less than hal...

We were! Recently though, press asked Dyche if there was any prospect of him signing. Dyche said that they have spoken about a potential deal.

Well, you could knock me down with a feather.

I'm sure we were told that Aaron Lennon is simply with us to build up his fitness and to train with us. Similar to the David Jones situation a few years ago. Right?

ksrclaret

Very nice away kit. Best one since 2017/18.

Both our kits this season somewhat resemble our 2017/18 attire with the blue shorts at home and the nice white away kit.

ksrclaret

I wouldn’t pay that for him.

But then again, I’m not a Serie A club looking or looking to buy a striker.

It’s nothing Steven Pressley wouldn’t have achieved for us.

The term "going backwards" is often overused, but if we were to sign Aaron Lennon again, it would be the most literal interpretation of the phrase we could manage this summer with regards to our recruitment.

It will be Lennon, but that is no bad thing when we only have two wide men and we play 4-4-2

I take it, with this bickering, that there are no rumours to discuss.

Someone make something up quick.

Well that went well.

In reality though, I think I feel sorry for the bloke. Not much he can when working alongside a manager as stubborn as a mule and a chairman with more than half an eye on preparing the business for a takeover.

I doubt SD would be even considering getting up to four players in this window.

But is that true? Once Lallana came on they totally dominated play in midfield, and Macneil, JBG and the strikers couldn't get in the game. It was crying out for Pieters and Brownhill to provide new legs and a slightly different shape in midfield, and of course fresh legs in Vydra upfront. It wasn'...

Dyche was asked about his bench in the post match interviews.

His response was “ALL IS DROSS!!!!!!”

One game is quite a long time, you know?

Your projection. You don't actually know what Dyche asks him to do. I'd just like him to have one good game in 5. Reasonable? JBG played better today. What was his excuse? I don't need to be in the dressing room or the training field to know what Dyche asks him to do. It's simply a matter of observ...

We absolutely should have been out of sight at half time. We lost the game though because Brighton had the capacity and inclination to change the game in the second half, and we did not have the capacity nor the inclination to respond to that. The most worrying thing for me though is seeing out 1-0 ...

Dwight McNeil is asked to be our flying winger taking players on, he's asked to whip lots of accurate crosses in, he's asked to be our creative number 10 threading balls through, he's asked to be our set piece taker, he's asked to track back and become an auxiliary left back when we're defending... ...

I'll have a look at YouTube tomorrow for Arsenal Fan TV. Should be good.

Brentford with a very impressive showing on their PL debut. I think they've got the strongest chance of the newly promoted sides of staying up and I can see them achieving it.

As for Arsenal - bloody hell.

This is a terrific thread guys. It really has got a bit of everything to suit everyone's tastes.

Well done to everyone who has contributed so far. Special mention to Helmclaret for that irresistible piece of bait.

Only 1 problem with signing lots of U23 players and hoping they'll progress through to the first team... will Dyche give them any meaningful game time? We've already seen he'd rather give Lennon (not our player yet) a game over an U23 in a friendly. I think we all know by now that Dyche likes experi...

“To Turf” is what Dyche usually says when he gets our lingo all wrong. He’s obviously painted that himself after Mr Pace sacked the painter to save the club a sixpence.

I wonder how Tarkowski must be feeling as everyone who needs a centre half are ignoring him, perhaps waiting until next season when they can get him on a free No doubt someone will pick him up on a free next summer, but I just don’t think anyone wants to pay the sort of fee we’d be asking for him w...

I think Vestergaard is out of contract at Southampton next summer, so I think Leicester will probably get him for around £20m. Good player.

Someone please just make up a rumour or something.

Maitland-Niles 'link' going nowhere. Probably never was similar to this Cornet rubbish that's been keeping a few occupied for weeks now.

Just go and get Christie from Celtic. Good player, available for an affordable price, what's not to like? Get it done.

There is no requirement to produce any sort of pass for the Brighton game - neither proof vaccination nor a negative test.

Let’s hope not. I think we’ve all realised how much better footy is with fans in. The overwhelming majority will stick to whatever rules are brought in when they are brought in. Not much more we can do than that.

Don’t worry, I reckon the Brighton game will be 0-0 anyway so you might not miss much. Leeds could turn us over too if last season is anything to go by.

Hopefully for your sake the games from October onwards will be worth it.

I really don’t like formations with 3 at the back. It just always looks so disjointed.

4231 should be the formation we use with McNeil as the number 10. Obvs it’ll never happen, but it ought to.

ksrclaret

Huge fee but that’s the level we’re at in the PL.

Just looking at his record again for them last season - looks like he scored 8 goals in 14 appearances. If he gets close to that again it probably keeps them up.

Generally Lennon was a good squad player for us. I can only assume those moaning about his potential signing don’t watch us very often…

On the contrary, it's probably those who watch us most often who are utterly despondent about his potential return...

Coventry deserve a proper place to call home. It'll never be Highfield Road, but the Ricoh Arena will do.

A proper club who've had some rotten times in recent years.

Loving the idea that Dyche has said to Mr Pace "go and get me Arthur Gomes from Santos".

Can we have a poll for how many games Dyche will give this Brazilian?

I'm going for 1 sub appearance in the FA Cup to try and get knocked out. Fans on this board will then suggest Dyche is sending a message to the board by playing him.
