An excellent player over the last two seasons and also very versatile covering midfield as well as defense

Hate to say it, but he has shown himself to be better than JT this season

jojomk1

Some people will realise what a big contribution he made when he goes

jojomk1

Dyche will get a transfer budget based on what we get for Gibson and Tarks plus any other outgoings
Maybe another £10m on top but when you've nothing in the piggy bank you've not much to spend

I don't think SD wants Tarks to go this summer so that scenario will be interesting

jojomk1

We currently have 22 senior pros Only Brady and Gibson are due to leave this summer from that squad People have said that others (surplus to requirements), can be moved on but who is going to take them Barnes maybe, Jay maybe, but who else would be seen as giving any value to another team especially...

jojomk1

Leicester/WHU are not in Champions League so JT may decide to stay

On the other hand, it means they may not be so eager for additional cover so won't pay top prices

jojomk1

I think we need to be patient with him. Perhaps taking a few beatings has dented his confidence? Our coaching staff has the summer now to sort any problems out. I agree And realise that the heavy defeats were not down to him But to "rest" him for Norris will have done any self confidence no good at...

jojomk1

The season is over We know that 2nd and 3rd choice keepers are hopeless and have time to replace them. Pace will have realised that the squad needs more strengthening than Garlick indicated. Don’t think Dyche will be in too much demand ( should be a positive but it’s not half gone stale ) Dunne can...

jojomk1

If BPF is thought to be so bad why did he get rewarded with an extended contract at the beginning of this season

It’s ok they’ll announce that Brady will be like a new signing later this week and he’s done enough to sign a 3 yr deal. That’ll show real intent.

Or, it could be Dunne

jojomk1

Started off with the wrong formation which showed us to be ponderous and slow

Couldn't get out of that gear even with the half time change (should have been JBG off not Brownhill)

Only thought from the manager to try another change was four strikers !

jojomk1

The team looks a bit stale

Just like the manager

Its been a template game for 20-21. Bright start. Go behind to a sloppy goal. Drift out of the game

I predict a bright start to the 2nd half and then drift out. We have no options really to change the game from the bench due to our thin squad.

No options to change ?

How about Vydra ?

jojomk1

I've always liked the look of Billing. Height and power for our center midfield. I think he'd slot right in Looked to be just going through the motions yesterday - no heart or fight When you look at the effort/tackles that Gallagher put in for WBA against Liverpool, he would be a much better choice

jojomk1

If Stephens gets anywhere near the starting 11 it means we have a lot of injuries ;) £8m from Gibson sale will not go far if we are looking for any reasonable quality and experience and we need that at the back even if JT stays Given our new debt, it will depend a lot on what we may get for JT to se...

jojomk1

I'm expecting Brady, Dunne and possibly Stephens to go, you would expect that to be in and around 100K + in wages saved And where are you expecting Stephens to go ? He's not going to get anywhere near the money he is currently on, even if a club showed any interest Another one who will run down his...

jojomk1

It's not just about what the club want but also what the player wants Hendrick was offered a new contract but didn't want to sign, hence his "Free" Brady has been offered a new contract some while back that he didn't sign - he could be his decision to walk away Tarks has been offered a new deal whic...

jojomk1

He has been imperious in some games this year. If he has lacked the consistency of some other seasons its because some teams have run through our midfield at will this season. Both him and Ben (as per most defenders) find it difficult when top premier players are allowed to run through unchallenged...

jojomk1

Agree with this but that didn’t stop at Brady. I think JBG falls into this category as well. Possibly Barnes and Jay but I can’t see this two going Yet JBG was offered an extended contract some months ago for another two years after this Barnes and Cork contracted to 2022 with the option to extend ...

jojomk1

Dyche !

And a team full of foreigners ?

It's been well reported in the past that a group of players come and go with Ash in his motor most days from Cheshire

Can only assume any celebration drinks were not just consumed by Barnes so would hope others did not encourage him to drive and also got in the vehicle that evening

jojomk1

I think everyone is forgetting you are innocent until proven guilty. Being charged does not mean you are guilty of the offence. Give Ashley the benefit of the doubt for the time being. I specialise in Motoring Law and there are so many ways to challenge a drink drive offence which i wouldn't post o...

If we can keep it tight for the first 15-20 mins the Liverpool will start to get edgy.

jojomk1

Would like to see Vydra on at start of 2nd half but more likely to be around 70 mins

Need to put more pressure on the two youngsters at the back

jojomk1

Given the rebuilding job that's needed at Palace I would think they would want their new man (whoever he is) in place pretty much by the end of this season. That would then give some time to sort recruitment for the numerous ooc players they will need to replace. Given the above scenario, it would n...

Do you ever actually offer any support?

Always where Vydra is concerned, unlike some who seem to get very upset when other posters mark his player ratings higher than they do

jojomk1

More likely that we will be shopping at Palace

Clyne, McCarthy, McArthur, Ward, Cahill, Hennessey, Dann, Kelly, Wickham, Schlupp, Sakho and Lionel Ritchie

Our transfer team will be positively drooling over that lot

jojomk1

Club source tells me they are called Crouch and Walters

jojomk1

The likes of Gilmour and Gallagher wouldn't get anywhere near a start here unless Cork, Westwood and Brownhill were injured

jojomk1

Spot on . I so often find myself agreeing with CT but to say that Vydra is ‘culpable’ for what was a very good save is a bit harsh! Had Pope made that save, it would have been described by CT as brilliant But he gets a 4 because he supposedly makes two mistakes and that cost us the game And nobody ...

He's the Messiah!..........Didn't you know?

Who is ?

Vydra or CT

Its a game of opinions - wait till all scores are in and see where Vydra's average score ends up

I'm pretty sure our transfer policy won't be decided by a defeat today

We haven't got a transfer policy !!!

jojomk1

We lost 0 - 4

And it could have been more

Until we get some strength and pace in the central midfield area things will not improve

With Liverpool chasing Euro spot I see something similar if not worse on Weds

jojomk1

1 - 3

Lampard would be an exciting and invigorating young manager for them.

They should be looking at him or Eddie Howe, not some gruff old northern hoofball dinosaur like Dyche.

If Dyche goes, we should be looking at Lampard

jojomk1

Lampard one of the latest to be linked with Palace

I think that's as daft as it gets on this thread - comparing the need for the internet with the need for toilets.

Exactly

If you've been browsing Tinder you may need to use the toilets for some relief

They go hand in hand

How about fur coat, high hells and no knickers?......sounds good to me!

I tried that last weekend

The wife just said I looked stupid !

jojomk1

You got the Sterling bit right

As for Defour, next manager, next Burnley MP in fact why not PM (watching Boris trying to engage in any sport for a photo opportunity is quite embarrassing to watch)

jojomk1

Local paper confirms the figure of £35m

jojomk1

Going to be plenty of loans to choose from at Chelsea next season

Gilmour, Gallagher and still think Dyche could get something out of Loftus Cheek

jojomk1

They paid over £20m for him start of last season

Would find it very hard to believe they then agreed to a release clause at £12m

jojomk1

A right winger with pace and trickery, if we sign one, probably won't cost much. Mind you, it's more likely that there won't be one available. The thing about wingers with pace and trickery who can cross accurately, is that everybody wants one and few people have them. So when a good one is availab...

Hi jojomk1, Brentford are due 27% of the difference between the fee BFC paid Brentford for Tarkowski and whatever fee BFC get when he is sold. Other than that, don't you think that Alan Pace and his colleagues know what their plans were when they bought the club? UTC I am aware of the sell on claus...

Now that another year in the Premiership is confirmed I hope the club are putting together a sizeable financial package to support the manager this summer A vital win last night though not pretty, and the second half showed just how frail our midfield can be if put under any sort of pressure Minimum...

Will get found out at a higher level. Keane isn’t the same player he was here. Less protection will leave him exposed I’m afraid Unbelievable ! Keane has certainly improved since moving As for Tarks getting less protection elsewhere, I presume you think we have one of the best teams in the league A...

jojomk1

Has it really been reported as that? I've never seen that and I don't believe he was in charge of any interviews. I think he's a businessman way ahead of being a supporter of the club. Once established in the Premier League and knowing the money he could get for his shares, he was quick off the mar...

Given their defensive display Friday night, Leicester should come back again this summer And there is no reason that we should not hold out for over £30m If so, I hope they are able to stay in the top four to give JT a chance of Champions League football rather than Europa A club like Burnley have t...

You have been seriously let off the hook there with the chronic lack of investment over several transfer windows. It is a real shame that the good work that was done will be overshadowed by this. Congratulations to Sean Dyche and the team. Over to you Mr Pace, please don’t let Sean down. Up the Cla...

Amazes me how many times Vydra actually wins the ball in the air
Not sure why he was subbed so early tonight and just hope we can get him to extend his contract this summer as he only has another 12 months on it
