Re: Jay or vydra signing
I was a bit surprised with Vydra I must admit. Looks like the club have taken up the option in order to make sure we get a fee for him, which is fair enough.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
In footballing terms feel sorry for Vydra, been completely underused and when he has played he has scored or assisted. I still think we’re missing a trick not playing him in a deep lying midfielder type playmaker role. Seems he’s never going to get a run of games must be desperate to play regularly , credit to him that he hasn’t kicked up a fuss like Gibson, must have the patience of a saint.

Think it’s a bit odd to suggest playing a striker as a deep lying midfielder...

At this stage, a good move by the club.
Hopefully Vydra will get other chances this season to win over more fans

In reality he's the 4th best finisher we have. Also our style probably suits him less than the 3 ahead of him
Re: Jay or vydra signing
You think he's worse than AB, don't agree...the lad has never been given a chance, a shocking waste of good talent.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 8:45 pmI think he did quite well in a sort of "10" role, but that was in the championship.

Hes a better finisher than Ash, but doesn't have his work ethic...all about opinions
Re: Jay or vydra signing
If we had signed either of these as new players in the summer, I would be excited. Lets hop they sign on by their own choice for longer under the new regime.

One on ones with the keeper I'd back Barnes every time.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
My impression is it's not really the fans he has to worry about as they (mostly) feel he does ok and often better than that when he's given a chance. It's SD who seems to feel he isn't really right for us, unless things are particularly desperate. He does alter the usual way we play when he's picked and SD often seems to be the only person who sees that a bad thing.
Re: Jay or vydra signing
Don't get me wrong, love AB...but Vyds is a natural goalscorer...never been given a prolonged stint . Ash is now at the same stage as Vokes was 2 year ago, and will find himself on the bench more often than not.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 9:33 pmActually, I don't think he is a better finisher than AB.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
I totally agree, JR should be a guaranteed starter with CW.
AB and MV, both on the bench?
The difference between the two is that Barnes can do either the target man or play off him.
And I do believe he is a better finisher.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
Good news that we've got these 2 to extend, Jay is definitely worth holding onto, and it doesn't surprise me that he's staying, Vydra is a strange one, like other posters I can only assume the club have done this so they can possibly recoup some of his transfer fee in either January or the summer, according to his agent he wants away, so if a fair offer comes in then we'll probably accept it, unless Barnes moves on which isn't looking likely ATM, then he'll remain a bit part player certainly under Dyche.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
To be fair to Barnes. In and around the box he is an excellent finisher. As above I’d always back him from 10 yards. He’s got a rocket of a shot and he’s pretty accurate too.
Barnes issue is that he too often looks to foul or be fouled rather than use his talent.
Vydra I wouldn’t say is as composed or comfortable in front of goal. But brings more pace and energy and a bit of the unknown.
His goal at Southampton was world class. And his goal at home to Bournemouth not bad either. But for lockdown I felt he’d have made a good run for us now.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
It's stupid comparing Vyds to Barnes. They play a totally different style, which requires the team to play a different style to get the best out of either of them.
Against teams sitting deep where a long ball can be fought for then Bash is your man. Against a team with a high line you need pace, so play Vyds to chase the long ball.
We don't have the greatest depth which limits our alternatives a bit, but there are still things we can do to give ourselves a better chance.

His goals and assists to minutes actually played must be pretty decent, under utilised as he’s not a traditional no.9 or forward really, playing as a striker in a 4-4-2 is not what he’s about, shame we haven’t cottoned on in 2 whole years!dandeclaret wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 11:01 pmHe hasn't really scored or assisted when he has played though has he?

I suspect that Dyche has cottoned on perfectly well that he’s nowhere near as good, effective or clinical as Wood, doesn’t link play as well as Ja, and influences defenders less than Barnes.
Re: Jay or vydra signing
He got in because of others being injured, as soon as they were fit he was back on the bench...so hardly a chance. Its clear he wasn't a Dyche signing or a Dyche sort of player, we won't cut him loose because we need the money, hence the additional year on his contract. Quite how he never gets game time is staggering...he will eventually go elsewhere and no doubt be prolific.Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 10:37 pmWhen you say not been given a chance, can I just clarify you are excluding all the chances that he has had?

Wood, Rodriguez, Barnes and then Vydra who misses far to many chances at this level. With a fit Barnes I can't see Vydra getting much game time this season

It's strange how many put forward Vydra as some kind of upgrade, I like his play in the build up but he is not a reliable finisher at our level.
also, is it 10 clubs in 11 seasons? Hardly settled anywhere, has he?

With Dwight, Jay and Vydra we could become a decent footballing side.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
Why would you pick Barnes's worst spell to try and justify Vydra? Barnes 36 in 160 premier league games (a quarter of those games coming on as a sub). Vydra 6 in 61 premier league games with over half of them as sub appearances (West Brom he couldn't force a starting position and at Watford they either loaned him out, or he wasn't in the squad).jojomk1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 10:07 amJust looking back at stats (and obviously taking into account games missed in between the dates through his injury), since the end of August 2019 Barnes has made 22 appearances and scored just 2 goals

This isn't just a Sean Dyche thing, thinking he's not up to the premier league level - this is his 3rd time of being up here, and no manager has trusted him at this level. He's a classic inbetween levels player - brilliant in the Championship - unplayable arguably. Not good enough at the top level.
Wood has missed a few sitters, but in my view, remains the most under rated striker I have seen play for Burnley.

Barnes - 6 goals in 1,361 minutes equates to a goal every 226.8 minutes
Vydra - 2 goals in 912 minutes equates to a goal every 456 minutes
For comparison
Wood - 14 goals in 2,446 minutes at a goal every 174.7 minutes
Rodriguez - 8 goals in 2,009 minutes at a goal every 251.1 minutes
I would say one of those four (Wood) has an excellent return while two more (Barnes & Rodriguez) have a good return.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
He missed a damn good chance at Southampton too - he missed two gilt edged chances against Bournemouth. But having said that, are you really going to suggest he's a good player based on two goals? I doubt he'd get a game at Villa either. If you think he would then you are seeing a far, far better player than I've seen.
Re: Jay or vydra signing
I think exactly that, he is a better player than we have all witnessed...he is under constant scrutiny from those on the touchline. It cant be easy playing with the knowledge that a couple of (missed sitters) will find you back on the bench...especially when that (missed sitters) doesnt always apply to Wood, Barnes etc...I get what your saying, but I do think there is a very good goalscorer there.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 1:58 pmHe missed a damn good chance at Southampton too - he missed two gilt edged chances against Bournemouth.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
He doesn't play regular Premier League football because he's not good enough to play regular Premier League football. That's my view of him. I think he's at his best coming on as a substitute and maybe stretching the play but if everyone is fit he'd be nowhere near my starting eleven because I think the other three strikers are way ahead of him.ewanrob wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 2:24 pmI think exactly that, he is a better player than we have all witnessed...he is under constant scrutiny from those on the touchline.

Re: Jay or vydra signing
Not good enough to score in 40-50? odd ten minute cameos I’ll give you. Asking someone to score or influence a game in ten minutes is just setting them up to fail, we’ve never tried him in his favourite position or given him a run in the side so I’m happy with my assessment.dandeclaret wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 11:39 amWhy would you pick Barnes's worst spell to try and justify Vydra?
