No reason to delay a deal. If they were that bothered we could have done the deal and made a gentleman’s agreement not to play him. (If you can say that) We could but for me that would really leave a sour taste considering the money involved. Has any club ever insisted that a player doesn’t play ag...

I was really excited by Lokonga, but now that it looks unlikely he’s a primadonna and has a weak mentality

As a 10 year old (it's always 10 when you're not sure) I once put itching powder in my mum's bra!

Well played lionesses, they have done themselves proud in this tournament. The tournament itself was great as well, good value and entertaining from the start. Glad it got the coverage it deserves. I do worry about this Spain team though, a few of their best players weren’t even at the tournament. W...

I couldn't give a damn about this match. It gets really exhausting really quickly if you pop into threads/topics you don’t care about just to tell people you’re not interested, Nick. Trust me on this. Most people adopt a strategy where they only spend time commenting on things they DO care about. I...

It is someone, in this instance, who fears stating the truth in case they upset certain people or groups. You are probably one of these by your response. Ah ok, thanks. I’m assuming you mean I’m the latter (one of the people or groups who someone is afraid of upsetting) That’s a shame really becaus...

Nobody is suggesting Padiham or Clitheroe are better than Burnley and if there are any comparaions, context is applied. When it comes to women coverage the difference is, as a football fan, you can't criticise it as there's an agenda in the media peddling that the standard is actually comparable to...

Can people just be honest instead of being scared of disappointing the woke culture and just say that the football is utterly inadequate and not fit for purpose yet. What does woke actually mean? No ulterior motives in asking the question, I honestly would like to know. If anyone can answer I would...

So why were the women saying it’s the first World Cup final since 1966 , can’t have it both ways .

I sort of agree tbh, the women have had enough success that they can celebrate their accomplishments in their own right. No comparison to the men’s team needed

davideyresleftear

This board can be a great place with lovely people, but bloody hell is it backward at times

davideyresleftear

For me the question is why are the comparisons to the men’s game relevant or needed? It’s women vs women. No men involved. They don’t compete against men, and the existence of women’s football doesn’t impact the men’s game negatively. It’s not like the FA is thinking of shutting down the men’s game ...

You wouldn’t have thought so with some of the hype in the English media before this game. “Everything stops at 11am on Sunday as nation hopes Lionesses can Bring It Home” was the front page headline in Friday’s Evening Standard. When you see an advert for a movie that says, ‘Coming to theatres near...

Only seems like yesterday that Jez was waiting for him to turn 30 so he could cash in his Three-0 Walcott millions

davideyresleftear

Agree with the sentiment of this post. I wish it wasn’t necessary but well done for saying it when you’re guaranteed to get some flack. Looking forward to a great day on Sunday and seeing England lift another trophy

davideyresleftear

Also, the comparisons to men’s teams and saying something thing like ‘Bury FC would beat them’ are unnecessary as well. I don’t remember ever, in any of the thousands of BFC match day threads being posted on here, someone feeing the need to say ‘Barcelona would easily beat Burnley’

davideyresleftear

Sometimes though, it’s a better world when you just let people enjoy things. Eg an English football team getting to the World Cup final.

I don’t see why every single thread about the women’s team needs comments about the standard. Nothing wrong with just saying well done.

davideyresleftear

Great game, great performance by a team doing the nation proud.

I was really excited by Lukebakio, but now that it looks unlikely he’s overrated and a flake.

davideyresleftear

Totally agree.It sounds more like a two year loan that we are paying £14m for. You’d assume the buy back will be for more than what we paid. If, for example, it was £28m then it’s a two year loan of a good player and we get paid £14m (minus wages) for the pleasure. If the buy back is for a set amou...

It's most refreshing to know that so many people know the ins and outs of a professional footballers contract. Puts my mind at rest. Come on mate, people are just discussing a complex transfer involving our club, in a thread with ‘discussion’ in the title. They’re not challenging the contract in a ...

The buy back clause applies whether we want to sell or not, otherwise it would be absolutely pointless.

Don’t some buyback clauses work on ‘if x amount is bid, we must accept’?

Having followed this thread since it was started at the dawn of time, I honestly think there’s some bullying going on with Newcastle. The guy has some controversial views, sure, but they’re never offensive or trolling ones like the ‘Foster is Pony’ guy. He usually explains his reasoning, too. But wh...

Anyone looking for a perfect example of patronising need look no further than this comment. Unnecessary, crude and arrogant. Who the hell do you think you are talking in such a manner on this board? Absolutely unbelievable. Am I missing something here? All for stomping out abuse on this board, so I...

Don't get the thinking on this thread re Brownhill. How are we getting 20 million for him when we don't think he's good enough but we can replace him with someone better easily for 12 million. We've just bought berge for around 12 who is significantly better apparently. Absolutely mental talk. If h...

It will be gutting for all the posters who pretend to watch foreign football if we sign Tella instead of Lukebakio.

Gnonto would be a no from me. There’s a reason Leeds got him so cheap despite him appearing for the Italian national team, there’s also a reason despite there struggles last year why he spent plenty of time starting as a sub for more than one of their managers. His output of goals and assists from ...

Brilliant news, welcome to BFC, Sander. I wonder if this signing at what I assume is a good price came about through our policy of moving on from targets when their clubs ask for too much. Pace, Kompany etc played it patiently rather than overpay, and then the Berge deal came up. Or maybe I’m readin...

Welcome constant reader...

Got any King fans on here? He gets slated sometimes but he’s my all time favourite author. Currently re-reading Salem’s Lot, and I think King’s biggest talent is just describing small town life and really making you feel like you know the place and the characters. My favourite book of his is 11/22/6...

Well said. Look how we made the best of Joey Barton, Andre Gray, Chris Wood for the first 3-4 years of his spell with us,Ashley Westwood, Tom Heaton. There were reasons for other clubs not wanting to take them, but we took them and they all made great contributions to our play Westwood is a great e...

Berge is inconsistent but with his skill set, if he was consistent then he’d probably be out of our league. We need to take talented players with imperfections and hope we can iron them out

davideyresleftear

We can wish for Tella and Maatsen but if their clubs are asking for too much or the players aren’t convinced by joining us, then we should move on. Pursuing one or two players for the whole window is how you end up making panic signings on the last day. I much prefer the ‘that’s too much, move on’ a...
