I think were definitely stronger than 12 month's ago better depth in most positions but weaker in midfield & LB but I sure that will be rectified before the season starts, I personally don't see Maatsen or Tella coming now The first few games will be testing until they all gel and we pull away from ...

KateR

Pochettino: “So far, Ian Maatsen is in my plan. I am so happy with him, can play in different positions”. “He is a clever player, I am so pleased with him so far”, He also said today that he still needs to let quite a few players go, squad way to big and will have a lot of unhappy players if he doe...

KateR

Weird the Maatsen looks like he might be cementing a role in Chelsea’s line up. A few on here didn’t think we should sign him due to his supposed frailties. but that was in a LB position - if anyone here had suggested push further forward they would have been told how little they know the game of f...

KateR

Gomez, Maatsen. Palmer and Tella I hope to see Gomez over Maatsen personally, Maatsen going forward & s threat I like but defending I worried last season & it'll be even worse this season I think Tella I really like but think we wont pay the asking price Palmer looks good to me but I doubt we will g...

KateR

same with the Swiss boy heard loads of other names for weeks & weeks then he just pops up & hes signed

I like how they work the potentials then names pop up & I go looking to find out who where why I think Redman will be the only one I heard of in 12 months!!

KateR

for me a well worked team goal, doesn't have to be 25 passes, but through the lines or a pull back and smashed in with the net bulging or a very well taken free kick in to the top corner out of the GK's reach!

KateR

went past it often on the way to where my mother worked in the mill as a child, later past it when on the bus to/from town centre, plus often past it on the way to the Hop, I think I went in maybe twice in my life but don't remember the inside at all, but it was definitely a well known landmark for ...

KateR

Aster Vranckx, I think if he comes, I'll just call him Frank.

Great name for a burnley signing, Jean Butez, only a matter of time before he'll be known as Jam or Chip.

Surely it would have to be Chip lol

KateR

LC I know very well, it's why I put it in the rabbit ears to make it sarcastic, clearly I failed with that! I believe you, I and virtually everyone else knows it's all down to Putin but he's not totally stupid and does have subordinates who are taxed with certain things, clearly they have failed, th...

KateR

Hipper, but he, Prigozhin, has put the spotlight firmly on them though, therefore I think Putin has a lot of food for thought now, since his "Special Operation" isn't going that well and they are the two in charge of that, there's a lot of evidence and incentive to change now, not right now but soon...

KateR

Barclay's were my first account decades ago, it became a joint account on marriage, used it for paying bills mostly, salaries went in there for a few years, then opened a different account with a different bank when we moved overseas the first time. Salaries to the new account but always funds from ...

KateR

the one take I got from the whole coup saga was that the Minister of Defense and the leader of the armed forces were essentially the main targets and the root cause of the whole thing. Therefore, I can see Putin having a very close look at those two and we might see some ramifications in that area o...

KateR

Joshua Zirkzee, as someone who has played for VK, makes a statement and is of course immediately linked, was surprised to see he's 6' 4", which would definitely add some (badly needed IMO) height into the side. Think he's one of those rank outsiders though, just so many being linked again, that's a ...

KateR

I don't need to spell it out. Anyone who knows what they are talking about would find it plain and clear. If you can let me (and perhaps others) know in advance what we can say and what opinions we should have, it could save a lot of trouble and ensure we don't upset you're delicate sensitive sense...

KateR

I certainly would be bothered to see Brownhill move on, he did have a last good season but I didn't think he was all that good in the PL and did cause problems leading to goals as I saw it. Obviously, I'd want to see someone else come in as I do think we're short and light in the part of the team Ye...

KateR

Never was a chance of signing Tresor and I have said that from the very first rumours... Cloud cuckoo land speculation!.. He will be going to a far wealthier and larger club than ours. I'm still hopeful of Tresor and not writing him off yet, if it's Flemming, so be it, or indeed anyone VK deems to ...

KateR

So which of our keepers would you have on the bench then, (or indeed as first choice if Muric were to get injured)? IMO another PL standard keeper has to be one of our main priorities. I think we do need back up & I'd consider the likes of Trafford to be that although I've never seen him play, what...

KateR

personally, I don't think we need first team players in the following positions, GK/RB/CH's and I'd prefer and funds spent on positions we do need So' I'm looking at LB, CM's 2, striker as priority targets, for me Tresor is the one I like the look/sound of the most, WW going and funds will make it e...

After a trip to Amsterdam, where I spent a week driving to different cities I got a letter but it was all double Dutch to me so I ignored it and to be honest I really didn't know what it was. Flew back to Amsterdam a few years latter with a colleague for business, passport control were taking there ...

KateR

Last three hole's could make this a good back end watch and be decisive in which player wins, I believe Mcllroy has the best game suited to the last three holes but "obviously", depends how the players are by those three holes but if it's close still like now he has a great chance.

Nathan Redmond could be our new Lennon

I do not believe for a second that VK will be looking for a new Burnley Lennon and I for one, certainly hope my thoughts are true, yes I've been wrong before but...............

KateR

I'm hoping we get Palmer from Man City, the Tella link is a good sign, obviously as always, lot's of divided opinions regarding the price, I'd clearly like less but if it's structured correctly, I think it can end up a good deal for us at the quoted price but clearly AP & recruitment team will make ...

Orange Lake Golf and Country Club was a good course but it was a long time since we played there, not sure if now the same as mentioned by Cabbage above. While it will be hot you'll almost certainly be driving buggies around Whichever course you play watch out for the gators, especially if you have ...

KateR

Personally I feel a new #1 GK is a very low priority, but that's just me, quite a few more important positions that need upgrading and I'd prefer to see how much we are spending on those positions. However, I recognize sometimes outside influences dictates what happens and I'll leave the recruitment...

True, but they seem to find a way

so did Southampton year on year, but came unstuck in the end, that conveyor belt is difficult to keep funneling good players through it, but yes, so far Brighton have been very good at it.

Red Roof Inn at Disney, Florida, I think it made it worse in that this was an upgrade on a trip my husband had won, he always tell everyone that winning that holiday was the most costly holiday we've ever had in our lives together!

no brainer for me, I would prefer to be young now, but I'd want the same parents, same discipline. At the same time I really enjoyed my youth, had a fabulous time and I'm still trying to enjoy every single day as I know 100% that I've less left to go than I've already enjoyed!

"while O&G is cheap" Kate. You say Oil and Gas is cheap!.......The reality is Oil companies have received massive Government subsidies (Billions per year) for many Decades, this keeps the price artificially low, & continues to this day.

There’s so much in this that is just wrong. I happen to agree with much that was said, except the last two sentences/points he tries to make, there's just no need for it really. Maatsen is not the left back that should be our first choice in my opinion and definitely not for the price I hear being ...

KateR

when he went there, listening to a pundit on US TV, he said it's a strange one, Everton in freefall and it's difficult to see him keeping them up, not allowed to sign anyone makes it a very difficult task. He has a great reputation from his time at BFC and it should be remembered he's not really sho...

I recently read that Burnley were the team that instigated the D being put outside the penalty area, such that player could have an uninterrupted run when taking a penalty!

It took FIFA, 14 years to instigate the same requirement!

But we all know it's a very special club, don't we?

KateR

some fabulous pictures and makes me homesick for the beautiful British countryside! Used to walk a little bit around Giggleswick & Settle but many years ago, as we were visiting that area fairly frequently at the time.

I was not impressed by JB when we were in the EPL but think he was very good this season finished. However, like all the others he will have to step up to the bigger challenge, personally I'm fine with him as a squad player or if he leaves. VK will ultimately dictate what our midfield and the rest o...

KateR

Seems like a nice place to play a few friendlies as well, to go along with many of the other positive that have been laid out in this thread, given the price. I think it's a positive for the future of BFC but obviously has to be incorporated properly and the right people with the same vision as AP p...

KateR

haven't seen much of him but what I have seen he seems strong and get's into good positions, he could be better than what we have but at price it would be a no from me. however, if they want LM, we could offer one of our present strikers, should they fail promotion for them to try for promotion next...

KateR

It's a no from me but if it were to happen I'd be supporting him

KateR

Doubt we'd get loads for him. If Coventry do go up, there's only going to be them interested in the Prem and they won't be throwing money around. Outside the Prem, I doubt anyone's paying over £4m. Still a great value buy for us, would be happy to have him back here as an option. somewhat agree, bu...

KateR

appreciate all the feedback, especially CP's thorough review as usual

Maybe with BFC's new found fame and promotion a few more potential players will be sending there clips to BFC, or does it go to a central database that any club participating in the program can see?

KateR

we heard a lot about this in the very early AP days, has anyone heard of any updates in the last 12 months? Did VK & Co utilize it in bringing in some of our players over the last year, can we expect it to be utilized in this window? https://www.itv.com/news/2023-03-03/how-ai-is-being-used-to-scout-...

KateR

One can only hope, same as summer and Jan I don't think I've hardly heard of any players linked, let alone seen them play! I didn't know one player VK brought in through two windows, including S Twine, but he seems to have done quite well IMO, so this time round I'll only comment on players I actual...
