Maybe it's in his contract, where as Trafford's says he must play, Brun Larsen's might stipulate that he must either be sub or be subbed, perhaps? I don’t think it’s anything as complicated as that. He’s always had injury problems I would think it’s more a case of trying to protect him than anythin...

Player rating threads are probably my favourite of the week, i only get to see televised games and the highlights but you get to see the general consensus of how individuals played and I appreciate the more detailed analysis from those who make the effort.

The bickering is also quite amusing too

Brownhill isnt going to sign a new deal on the proviso he will be sold

He’s already signed, he agreed to the option to extend when he signed his original contract. It’s upto is to trigger the option.

3 of them are out with season ending injuries

Not sure if Obafemi Martins fits into the philosophy of youth - he's thirty-nine! Michael Obafemi.

The squad list I used had him down as Michael Obafemi Martin, my bad

SirBob

Twine and McNally won't bring in much, who's Martin's? Benson and Zaroury are both likely to want out after this season so I'd be hoping to keep Larsson. Absolutely no chance of anything close to £10 million for Brownhill he's out of contract unless we take the extra year which I doubt we will if r...

I can’t see us selling Odobert in the summer we’d be lucky to get 20 million, he could be worth twice if not more in a couple of years. Also Koleosho probably won’t be fit until October. I’d say it’s time to get rid of Brownhill, hopefully we can get 10m and lose his wage, we’ve desperately needed a...

SirBob

Isn’t it quite common for under 21 players to get promoted to the main squad when there’s an injury? It’ll be a good experience for him, hopefully even restore some confidence.

Other than that it’s barely worth mentioning, it’s not like it’s the main story on sky sports news.

SirBob

If we get beat three nil hopefully everyone will just shut up about it and move on

SirBob

Everton fans I know are losing patience with McNeil, say he goes missing when the going gets tough.

SirBob

We really need to replace Brownhill, if we are fortunate enough to come back up our midfield is gonna be in the exact same position again.

SirBob

Stay - this season is over for sure and it’s been bitterly disappointing. Next season we need a manager who can win us the championship and we have one. The players we have now will walk it in the championship, I’m actually looking forward to seeing our young players develop, hopefully we can keep m...

Last season was the most enjoyable and entertaining I’ve ever had as a Burnley fan, this season the complete opposite

Next season I think will probably be a two horse race between us and Leeds and I can’t wait to take the **** out of all the Leeds fans I know when we win the league.

SirBob

If you think I’m stupid enough to ensure the safety of me and my passengers to the safety of some knobhead with the ability to flash some headlights you are sadly mistaken my friend, I’ll pull out of the junction when I’m good and ******* ready

SirBob

We bought too many players with an eye on the future. We needed players to make an impact now. I am confident that most of our signings will prove to be successful in the long run but at the cost of relegation in the short term. It was clear we needed full backs and a couple of additions to midfield...

Do we still do announcements videos?

Living in wales I haven’t met a single person in favour of the new 20mph speed limit. The the most annoying thing about the 20mph speed limit is the drivers who are unable to maintain it, I found most people are ignoring it and driving somewhere in the middle at around 25 mph, then there about 20% o...

SirBob

He follows quite a few clarets on Twitter and often is in my feed.

He also did an interview with the BBC I think it was about being a Claret in Africa or something along those lines. Seem like a nice bloke

SirBob

That’s a relief, thought maybe we were signing a player that hadn’t lived upto expectations and just taking a punt.

It also explains the hold up, the club probably had to agree on the compensation we’d have to pay before announcing. Can imagine that would complicate things.

SirBob

Missed the game last night as I was in work! Some excellent scores on the player ratings, how did we play on the whole? BBC report made it sound like a terrible game and all I’ve heard off a Man United supporter friend is how awful we are and nailed on to go down from what he’s seen. Are we feeling ...

Was Kompany 15/16 when he broke through at Anderlecht? Seems he isn’t afraid to throw in youngsters as a result, great to see

SirBob

I think (could be proved wrong) that by the time things close on Thursday, our net spend figure will look a bit less scary because we'll have moved some people out and recouped a bit of cash plus significant wage savings. I think our only really saleable assets are the likes of Benson. Any players ...

It's all been the Russians money with Moshiri a front.

I don't really get your post. The owners will still sell the club for around a billion when the ground is finished. Even if they have big debts.

I haven't said that would be profit.

A billion? Where did you pluck this number from?

SirBob

Seem to remember signing Pope and Heaton from relegated championship teams. Both went on to play in the best league in the world and represent England, don’t think playing for a relegated team is of real significance

SirBob

With regards to Tella, I think it’s clear we want him. I just don’t think he fits our transfer model if we have to pay out 20+ million. I rate the lad but I have serious questions as to whether we’ll ever make a return on that investment, which seems to be a major deciding factor. I think we have to...

How much of that will have been paid up front? Not even half I reckon Course, that is an issue if we get relegated, but that is the one of things we have to balance the risk and reward with isn't it? Don’t really see the relevance to this. We may not be paying it all upfront be we are also paying f...

We refuse to pay what I consider to be a fair asking price for Tella and are left with cheaper that cheap options such as a spent Townsend and the lumbering Weghorst. I struggle to be optimistic.

What’s their asking price?

SirBob

Have to admit I don’t know much about Thomas apart from he impressed in a few loans. Is he a local lad? Where did we find him. I guess this is exactly the kind of thing the club has been looking to do for some years, developing young players on for the first team of selling on for a tidy little prof...

Ekdal is being frozen out ?

Ekdal was used in the photo shoot for the new kit release, clubs tend not to do that with unwanted players

Some wild conclusions being jumped too as usual

SirBob

Seem like we valued Bart at 12/14 million and Trafford at 19m and decided to go for Bart as a cheaper option. Then when Brighton came in and pushed up the price for Bart we decided to bite the bullet and go for Trafford.

SirBob

Football merch, t shirts in particular tend to be cheap material and horrendously tailored. I’d happily wear them if they were better quality and fit with a small tasteful badge/logo

SirBob

Sounds like a done deal to me Tony

SirBob

I hope we end up paying the full 19 million, that will mean he’s progressed and meeting his potential. If we only pay the initial 14 millon he’ll never of made those land marks, international appearances etc

I think at Swansea Obafemi was actually playing on his own up front with Piroe in a number 10 role for quite a while, which worked out well for both. Whether or not he could do that in PL is another question, especially as VK didn’t award him much game time. I get the impression Obafemi is a very s...

Usually at the end of a season fans want managers to throw on the youngsters to blood them. In our case Kompany has, he’s chucked on Forster and Twine even when you could argue they don’t warrant a spot, if you think or hope either of these are leaving on loan or permanently you are mistaken. He’s s...
