I actually think that shopping in the Championship would now be a little bit easier than previously given the situation with COVID. Championship clubs are feeling the pinch just like we are. Example being the two Derby full backs who went to Sheff Utd for less than £15m combined when Derby were reportedly asking for that figure for just one of them (Bogle) around 12 months ago.

Names like Davies, Pearson and Johnson from PNE, Wallace from Millwall etc now look a little more appealing than perhaps they once did...and i don't think would now cost as much as their respective clubs wanted a few months ago.

Davies is off to Bournemouth

Forget turkey this Christmas sounds like it might be Meat Loaf.

I did wonder where you were. You were busy thinking of that one up!

Saw that earlier and wondered if he was someone we should have been after. One of Preston's top performers, right age (25), right fee (c.£5m reported), probably happy as a back up initially.

We have a habit of missing these types of signings and then trying to buy the player further down the line for a bigger fee. I'd like to see us get in there early for players with potential, especially as the majority believe the starting 11 can compete as it stands.

when you consider what Forest want for Worral it's bizarre we aren't in for him

Was reading today about Daniel Johnson, 12 goals and 7 assists last season. 196 Championship Apps 35 Goals. Winger. Decent player and another option.
Turning 28 next month, Rangers made a derisory offer of 2m, can see 5m + a young player going the other way on Loan.

As others have said, there are bargains out there. Whether he or the others are in the thinkingis anyones guess.

whatever happens, if we go into the PL with the kids on the bench again when there are players available at reasonable cost then it's a huge waving of a white flag by Garlick.

Its OK saying "plenty of time to go" if we were proficient at recruitment , and had a good track record. Theres never been a more urgent time in the PL for us to have built up our squad

Has anyone considered this? As we haven't yet sold anyone, our lack of incoming players may simply be because we don't yet know how much money we have available.

So you seriously believe that Burnley don't have target players and that we just collect the dreggs when other are finished?

So we have identified targets but we have no idea how much money we have!!

Budget 1st, Targets 2nd

A bargain is only a bargain if he turns out to be good enough. I suspect someone who has been at PNE since 2015 probably has the bottlejobitis imbedded firmly in his DNA by now....so that’s why he’s linked with the pub league north of the border

They have just found life on Venus there could be a decent attacking midfield player there for a bargain price.

Connor Gallagher looking like going on loan to WBA-shrewd bit of business if they can get him.Has had two good seasons, one with Charlton followed by Swansea .High energy CM . I am sure we could have given him the same number of starts as WBA. Mentioned this as I believe we monitored him in the January window. Dread what will happen if Westwood and Brownhill, or both get injured in the near future

A Premier League team with 2 midfielders available days before the first League game is pitiful

Easily capable of covering 2 positions at once.

Although he's not yet played many games I thought Brownhill's best performance was at Palace where he nullified Zaha and still contributed in going forward
I see him wide right putting in good performances like Hendrick/Arfield/JBG
We need to have a much stronger presence in CM (in terms of height, strength in tackle and ability to control the ball)
As good as Westwood and Cork have been they don't win the hard battles and get caught in possession far too often. They also lack the pace needed in today's type of game.
A starting CM would be the first buy for me

Pieters will do that if we need him to. All round top pro.

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:32 pm**

McNeill played centrally at times towards the back end of next season. It’s not ideal by any means but we’re realistically only one player short in central midfield, and I would like to think that will be addressed by the end of the transfer window.

I like Johnson at PNE but those 35 goals inc. a lot of pens.

Nah, no one's claiming to have found life on Venus, just something in the atmosphere that could possibly support life in theory.

This all depends on what the manager expects from a CM.
The ability to put a decent tackle in has to be up there with his priorities, something I haven't seen in Brady or McNeil (not that I would expect it of either).

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:28 pm**

Still think we will bring a couple of players ,maybe a player on loan also .

Don't panic we will get there just takes a bit of time

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:43 pm**

Wonder what our quietest ever transfer window was ?

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:44 pm**

Don't think Dyche would want McNeil playing in a midfield 2. I'd say Pieters would slot in there first. Plus our two midfielders main duty is to basically protect the back 4, which would be a waste of our most creative player.

If he can’t do the job it’s time for him to move on.

I’m sure he thinks before speaking based on what is posted on here

And as for getting on with his job we finished 10th

Manager Sean Dyche recently raised concerns that the club had not yet signed anyone, with their Premier League opener against Leicester to come this weekend.

“It is a tough challenge and we have been through this virtually every season, particularly if we are pushing the market a bit higher in our world,” he said. “When the numbers get bigger then that is when it goes to the chairman and the board. I have never had a budget in eight years so I just have to hope they are going to put some money available to get those deals done.”

Sounds like Dyche is getting frustrated again.
