10:56 DYCHE WANTS 'QUALITY' Sean Dyche is hoping Burnley can still strengthen after beating Preston 2-1 in a friendly last night. New signing Jon Walters scored in the win, and Dyche said afterwards: "We are still only carrying 19 outfield players. In an ideal world you would have two in every posit...

A lot of people on here seem to think Dawson will be coming as replacement for Keane Once WBA sign one or two CB's, Dawson will revert to RB where he was very good last year If CT does have some inside knowledge then look at his comments recently - "we may sign another CB but I expect Tarks and Mee ...

So when every other team is looking to strengthen their starting 11 you think we don't need to ?

Didn't Garlick actually say we might have to spend more than last summer rather than make any promises? If you look at the squad compared to when the window closed last August at the start of the 2016/17 season we are already a lot stronger. Yes, we've lost Keane and Boyd but have signed Westwood, ...

I get we may need a 3rd choice GK
Our three signings so far are reasonable but I don't see any major improvement in a starting 11 from last season
For me, any further signings have to be of a standard to make it into the first team

13:54 NO GRAY AREA Andre Gray is ignoring transfer speculation and continuing to focus on his future at Burnley. The striker is out of contract next summer and there have been reports that several Premier League clubs are interested in securing his services. "It’s part and parcel (of the game), you ...

He's not Irish

But Shane Long is !

The Chairman nailed his colours to the mast in a recent interview with 2 equivocal statements 1. When this window closes we need to have a stronger squad than the one that finished last season 2. We spent circa £32m last year (which, along with wages, was budgeted for) and I expect us to spend at le...

Another buy for the future

Becoming a bit of a joke

For me, players are not comfortable in coming to Burnley FC because, despite our achievements over the last few years, we are still considered a small club and therefore one of the favourites for relegation
Oh, and money talks

jojomk1

For around the same money (or even less) would rather see a younger player such as Clucas There's going to be little resale value with a signing like Cork although appreciate another year without relegation pays the fee anyway If we could also get Clucas/McArthur, and at the same time, cut our losse...

Clucas - Hull

And I thought I was having a bad hair day !

Guy I know was talking to one of our directors in Manchester last week (not naming director for obvious reasons)

Supposed to be our main target this summer

If we were prepared to let Gray go would we be prepared to pay as much for his replacement - I would have thought so

jojomk1

Is he Irish ?

jojomk1

This youth policy is really working

jojomk1

According to David Gold, WHU see 2 strikers as their main targets before the start of the season

Hold the nerve and then take them for a wedge

Mr Garlick is confident we will start this season with a stronger squad than that which finished last season - no pressure if we have other targets in mind

jojomk1

We would be blown out of the water on wages against all these clubs except maybe Huddersfield

Sorry, but if Agyei and/or Long feature this season we are in trouble

Nothing against the guys but nowhere near ready - loans out to decent teams for me

The time has come for Brady and JBG to step up to the mark as far as wide men are concerned

Walters, for me, is one of our four striker options

jojomk1

Cracking signing. Works as hard as anybody and looked to have plenty in his legs when I saw him last season. We know exactly what we're getting with this signing and a 25yr old with similar ability on a 3yr contract would have cost £20m instead of 2. Keeps th big money freed up for other players to...

Whatever the fees/valuations are, it just shows how over inflated the english transfer market is Assombalonga £15m, Mawson/Gibson £20m If Everton can buy a current U21 striker from Spain for around £5.25m then our recruitment team need to show some real foresight and look in these markets in greater...

Arfield/JBG on the right and Brady to show his true worth on the left

jojomk1

Time for the club to get that e mail out again to all agents :D As the Chairman said - over £32m to spend in this window (plus, I would hope, monies from Keane and maybe Gray deals) So far nothing much of note to get us excited but the pressure is firmly in the hands of the recruitment guys inc the ...

CLARETS chairman Mike Garlick is confident Burnley will end the transfer window stronger than they began it. Although it has been a quiet summer at Turf Moor so far it could yet turn into a busy window for the Clarets and boss Sean Dyche. With the future of Michael Keane and Andre Gray unclear, and ...

Interesting that they are reported to have had a bid turned down last Jan - did that unsettle Andre ? West Ham ready to make £15million move for unsettled Burnley striker Andre Gray The Hammers are bidding to bolster their attack this summer and the Burnley front man is on their radar The Hammers ha...

No chance of this happening - he will get another contract at WBA on much better terms (espec now his agent has most likely put out this fake news)

Need to look to someone like Roberts at Barnsley before someone else grabs him

jojomk1

Get in for him before Larry takes him to Sunderland

Very good start with PNE last season - just the type of player we should be looking to bring in and develop

jojomk1

I think he's way over the top of our wage structure (Brady thought to be our current highest on around £35k)

Would like to see us dig deep for a marquee signing but, for me, Snodgrass does not come into that bracket

jojomk1

Found it strange that we did not just loan him back to Shrewsbury when he signed 2 years ago - Mellon was playing him in the first team then

Interesting to see how he gets on this season - should really be looking to see him in match day squads next season if he is to prove himself

jojomk1

Sorry - but he should be nowhere near our squad for next season

jojomk1

Given just a rumour

But if Huddersfield were willing to let him go, why would we want him

Just another Scott Arfield

jojomk1

Given what Derby managed to squeeze out of us for Hendrick I think the figure 1 was missed from in front of the 5

Southampton paid around £12m for him - what would they be asking now?
Given his age there would be little or no sell on value but if it keeps us up for another season then it's good business
He has far more to offer in pace and quality than any of our current squad
If SD wants him then so do I

Good move for GB if it comes off - nice final contract (similar to Dave Jones at Sheff Weds)

Sorry - Admit I have never really rated GB but would rather have him any day than this guy

His 2 million bonus must have gone into his account early - off on another jolly

Would like to see him start on Sun

Brought off in 2nd half to a deserved standing ovation

Its a pity we couldn't get Robertson in Jan but, as said above, he is prob now out of our reach as Liverpool are desparate for a left back
As for the likes of Muguire and Gibson - dream on !

As said on the Palace thread Lets be honest, had Sakho not been injured we would not have won that away game either To have stayed up this season has been a superb result (which not many people expected) but that does not make the manager immune from any criticism He has shown a real lack of tactica...

In all honesty, if Sakho had not been injured we would not have won at Palace either

Now that we are almost safe we need to build for next season Arfield and Boyd have been excellent signings over the last few years but we now need to move on a level and Brady plus JBG offer so much more for the future (age and pace) Dyche always goes back to his trusted men (not complaining about t...

Forget all three - wages will be way above our budget and they will have offers from clubs of far higher standing than us (Chelsea were linked with Llorente in Jan) Don't forget also that "free transfers" are anything but - it just means the agents will ask for sky high signing on fees for their cli...

We were fortunate on Sat in that Sakho was injured and the other guys could not cope anywhere near as well with Barnes and Vokes As others have said AB was much better at Palace, as he concentrated on his game rather than looking for fouls - and I hope this side of him continues for the rest of the ...

we should spend a little to ensure we retain George Boyd. As little as possible for me - extra one year is enough if we are to progress in strengthening the starting 11 Yes, he put Gray through for the goal but there was another great Georgie moment during the game on Sat where he actually got to t...

Similar to Keane, out of contract at the end of next season

Now that survival is almost assured we can start talking about a new deal, if that is what the club want

Or, as with Keane, do we maximise his value this summer
