Did Taylor dive just then?

I thought our players didn't do things like that?

No the ref favoured the "big" club as per usual.

That ain't one performance mate it's 4 years of hoofball that has put many Burnley fans off never mind other fans.

What were you just saying about Otamendi being better than Tarks?

Maybe because many of their players develop in the lower leagues. Maybe because clubs are viewed as community assets, they are not hedge funds.

Tarky will hate it at Leicester.. Full of foreign players, banter nothing like our dressing room. The 100k a week might help a little I suppose!!! He needs to dump that interfering stupid bird of his and stay with the mightly clarets... Knowing he was second choice behind Wesley Fofana and being ri...

Extract from an article in the Athletic from a couple of days ago. " And then you have the States, where sports franchises have been through this period of exponential growth.

How much has been yearly in bonuses to the board ?

The same as the increase in ST prices.

levraiclaret

Yes, a waste. We let Hendrick walk away, losing a £10m+ asset off our balance sheet. Then we spend £2.5m to replace him with a player who is 3 years older, not as good and who offers less positional flexibility. On top of that we give Stephens a 2 year ( probably with a plus one year ) contract whi...

If Rigg has anything about him, and he has now been with us 3 years so should understand our finances, and how SD and MG work. As a result you would expect names he forwards to have been pre-qualified to meet the criteria expected and at least a few of these to be sanctioned. I doubt anyone outside...

Gomez was a regular for a team that won the league at a canter last season, he can't have been that bad! As good as Van Dyke is you don't get 90 plus points carrying any passengers. I didn't say he was bad, I said JT is a better defender. Gomez has a much easier time of it. Remember how much posses...

levraiclaret

Yes, but Keane, Tarks, Pope etc weren't signed for the u23's so balance is needed. Who knows if any in the academy will be good enough, but I think we need to be bringing in younger players who are good enough for the 1st team squad too (not necessarily starters) - we need a conveyor belt of player...

levraiclaret

It is an excellent thread, one of the jewels of the site.

levraiclaret

That's my point though - Keane signed for £3m odd, sold for £30, Tarkowski signed for £3m, might be sold for £35m+, Pope, McNeil - all will bring in significant funds. We're a selling club, I have no problem with it if the money is reinvested in the squad. The problem with the last couple of years ...

Having to play your second choice left back on the right wing is an embarrassment at any level

We didn't have to do that, Dyche could have brought Vydra on and played Rodriguez on the right wing.

If Tarks doesn't play, he's off. And if we get dicked because of our lack of investment, Garlick deserves all the pelters he's gonna get.

My foxes supporting neighbour says he has heard that a deal has already been agreed with Leicester at £35m.

Bull **** or fox ****, time will tell.

Gomez plays for England - tarks isn't even in the squad Otamendi plays for Argentina and has won the premier League I'd have lindelof or.maguire ahead of tarks anyday Ruduger is a German international and premier League winner Luiz is just luiz brilliantly awful Keane is better than tarks The rest ...

Pieters set up an excellent chance for Brady which their keeper deflected on to the post.

I would like to think / keeping my fingers crossed that Tarkowski will stay for this season and give it his all and then he looks to move on next Summer, ideally to a team like Leicester - who would be able to pay the going rate for his level of ability. Please not Leicester, then it will only be f...

Mikey Garlick will be refurnishing the boardroom as we speak from the proceeds of Tarkowski’s sale. Really? Or is that meant to be jocular? Mr Garlick stepped in when Mr Kilby had his health scare and has provided sound leadership since. It's not his fault that all other PL owners are multiple time...

I read this as Tarky shop windowing himself, and at times to the detriment of the club with comments like “I think any professional footballer can play a ball to his left-back, get it back and play it back to his keeper. The question is can he play under pressure? Which I believe I can and I proved...

Out of interest who were the other candidates at the time who fell away? Laws was dealt the most difficult of hands but ultimately the board were culpable for this most uninspiring appointment. As soon as the ink dried on the contract you felt the writing was on the wall. Sadly most people who coul...

Agree with you and a lot of errors in there too. Can’t think why anyone would think the writer was a Burnley fan.

Is that an important criterion? Surely the writer not being a Claret gives the article more validity?

You have to remember that footballer's in that era are not considered anywhere near as good as today's superstars ---they couldn't be that good because they didn't earn very much!

Morgan was almost as good as Best though.

We’d gone up with a squad totally ill equipped for the Premier League and didn’t strengthen enough. Eckersley, Edgar & Easton were not the answer.

What if the question was "name 3 Burnley players whose surnames began with E in the 2010-2011 season?"

Of course Benny, all Clarets should be friends, no one else likes us so we better be.
