Do not disagree, and entirely possible… I’m pretty sure VK did not realise his true value until it was too late. He almost admitted as much on the Mission to Burnley programmes.

Mr Kompany needs to admit a lot more!

Guardiola had Aquero from 2016 to 2021. Left to go to Barcelona and due to his heart problems played 4 times for Barca before retiring in 2021. Yes he was told he wasn't right for the system that Guardiola wanted to play and had to adapt or not play. He was left on the bench a lot, before adapting ...

I'm not surprised that Larsen's record for us shows 5 goals but 0 assists. Recently we've been using our wide players in a similar way to Brighton in that we attempt to circulate the ball around the middle of the pitch, with the centre forward dropping deep to help with this, and then we look to re...

People can talk about the moral issue but it’s just football, in the last 10 games has it looked like muric and Cullen aren’t playing for the manager?

Players don’t care about moral values when they refuse to play for clubs when they want a move away

Best goals per 90 minutes for us this season and best goals plus assists per 90 minutes. Shame a few of our own players aren't as **** and cocky as him. At last! A pist which actually points out that he did score some goals. He did shoot. He did chase balls down. He did get in striker positions. .....

Not sure, but assuming he did I’d still expect him to move on with a nominal fee, hopefully elsewhere in the Championship. They should offer a free, if they believe they need a replacement. He has earned that. However, his experience may well help, in such a situation. As he did with Zaroury and Be...

One reason why we are going down is that we are not wanted in the so-called Premier League. Our gain (NO VAR!), their loss.
The Premier League is also wrongly named, now second best to the Bundesliga et al.

We are not 'preferred' is probably more accurate, in the management of the Prem brand.

Oh dear. I assume you mean Stephens, who would never be so rude about you . So who was he a replacement for?

Anyone fading in midfield....all of them, at the time, through age or injury, no contract etc.

IanMcL

Newcastle is a football town. They understand what the loss of a club legend means. Good on them.

IanMcL

Again, this is a mixture of conjecture and fiction. Heaton demanded to be No1, when he wasn't allowed that he wanted out. and the Keane/Tarkowski model is what we should have pursued with certain other players.... Hendrick, who we let run down his contract, being the obvious one. You say conjecture...

Good that he has helped them into the play-offs.

IanMcL

That's nowhere near factual, Ian. How about: Sean Dyche never maximised the best market value of players in order to sell at their top value and reinvest in new players? If I was SD at the time, the last thing you would want to do was sell a player, knowing the chairman might, if you are lucky, giv...

About ten years ago, I was in a chippy in Aylesbury and infront of me in the queue was a man wearing a Burnley hat. I said, "I'm a Burnley fan too." He looked at me blankly. I pointed at his hat.

Muric 8 - very good performance. Some kicks a bit off, others spot on. Sames excellent. Assignon 5 O Shea 6 1 for goal Esteve 5 Vitinho 4 - out of position and giving ball away, too often.

Lower marks for missing what I believe was a clear penalty. There was also an incident in the first half when a Newcastle player looked to be about 3-4m offside. He looked like he was going to whistle but the lino didn’t put his flag up and a corner was awarded. He then looked to be in communicatio...

I suspect we may be fielding a £10m - £15m bid for Muric now he has proven himself. In that situation we would probably not stand in his way.

If Trafford is valued at £20m Muric must be out of sight!

Yep he did, but the point is, if it had been a Brighton player that played the ball towards goal, then Muric did exactly what he did, it would be credited to the Brighton player, not a Muric OG.

Yes. It was a pity a Brighton player didn't pass it to him! Might have saved some anguish! ...Nah.
