I’m with CT here. The number of players who have either contributed very little or haven’t been given a chance is staggering. I’d also completely forgotten about Delcroix and several others. In terms of getting good fees for these ‘saleable assets’. Let’s not forget the big money is in the PL not th...

As ever VK stays positive and talks about the next game and how it can’t come quick enough.
Rinse and repeat. It’s all philosophical stuff but nothing pragmatic to build on.

Mixedkompany

Brownhill not at fault.
Trafford played a suicide pass to him and there’s no way he could have expected that.
Trafford is not good enough and has cost us this game.
We have been shocking as well.

Mixedkompany

We might have some experienced players in Cork, JBG, Taylor, JRod and Browny, however, none of them were initial first choice picks. They have been in and out of the team or not in at all. Also injured at times, Taylor being the current one. They may be experienced but if they rarely play and know t...

VK going nowhere.
His contract is bullet proof.
Move on to next season and review.

Mixedkompany

Delighted he’s on the mend.
Does Taffy live in the Burnley area or Wales ?
Thanks

There seems to me an over simplification here. Some people are saying if we win then we will feel more attached to the club/manager/ team. If we lose then it’s the opposite. That’s not the situation at all. At least not for me. For the reasons many people have stated there is a feeling of detachment...

Mixedkompany

Some good points from Dande there. What we are also seeing is the inevitable change from localism to a broader media outreach. We have American owners and investors. They know where the money is and they are spreading the word. Perfectly understandable. We could see the media evolution when the like...

Mixedkompany

I happen to be geographically detached in any case. Rarely get to many games these days but that should pick up next season. I rely on media outlets and claret news. Which these days is more prevalent than ever. There was certainly a ‘ one club’ mantra under Dyche that I felt was inclusive and posit...

Mixedkompany

I recall these used to happen with SD and previous managers. Sometimes with Directors involved. Is this something the new ownership have discontinued? I think there are plenty of us who would like to understand transfer policy and player movement a little better. And other matters. Or is this an exa...

Transfer Deadline is 11pm 1st Feb

Mixedkompany

It’s the job of the manager to get players and cover in all positions. That went badly wrong in the close season. Now we have talk of players that do or don’t fit the ‘system’. Who should play where. The fact is the ‘system’ isn’t working and we are bottom of the league and going down. To get back o...

Mixedkompany

If controlling a pass, moving forward and finding a decent shot or lay off to a team mate are deemed an acceptable standard. Championship or otherwise. Then he was way off it. As for beating a man, forget it. Best not seen and forgotten. A complete waste of money and time.

Mixedkompany

‘Patience will be the key skill in determining how successful this strategy is’ Not sure patience is the key. Transfers are driven by need, situations and events. Our current situation is that we are heading to the championship. We will need to trim the wage bill and cut the squad to affordable cham...

Mixedkompany

I can understand your feelings albeit without any details. Which is probably the way you should leave it. You only have to look at the farce at the Post Office atm before you put any faith in our legal system. I was involved on a corporate level with an employment tribunal a few years ago. We took i...

Mixedkompany

The next three games are very tough. Fulham and Villa away. Liverpool at home. Can anyone see any points from those games? That will be 20 PL games played. Based on current stats we are looking at a total points tally of 18 points for the season. If we obtain no points from the next three games the ...

Mixedkompany

Can’t help thinking this is a poor decision.
Clearly a good manager and as others have said. He will have plenty of suitors.
He was one of my preferred options in the past. And possibly in the near future !

Mixedkompany

Strong teams develop via evolving and mixing youth with experience. Staying together with a bunch of inexperienced kids will bring us nothing at this level. I would suggest only 3 of todays team are PL standard. Berge, Brownhill and Amoudini. Strength comes from recognising your weakness and replaci...

Mixedkompany

Sharp cookie is Vincent.
Does the media very well.
Unfortunately, didn’t do the transfer window very well.
None of our back 5 get into any other PL team.
You can dress that up as much as he likes.
But he signed them all. Not Taylor of course.

Mixedkompany

Great to see Foster on second half. We desperately need him.
We have two scenarios.
Keep Kompany and go down. Hope he stays and energises his team to get us straight back up.
Sack Kompany and find someone new. A complete player churn with big financial loses. Take our chances on promotion.

Mixedkompany

For those who are blaming others for our keepers weakness at corners and set pieces.
I give you Arsenal away and others. And tonight.
He’s a good shot stopper. But he’s rubbish under the high ball.
Please look at stats and wake up.

Mixedkompany

An experienced PL team. Strong, organised and following a game plan.
Burnley - inexperienced, lightweight with a failed game plan plus a weak keeper on the high ball.
Unfortunately, I don’t expect anything from this game.
0-2 minimum.

Mixedkompany

I went yesterday. The atmosphere was poor. There was very little mass chanting which is what we tend to get when playing away. It’s an open area so difficult to raise much sustained volume. Our fans are pretty much resigned to defeat at Arsenal. Probably more so yesterday. But it was a large followi...

Mixedkompany

No one as said the younger players won’t be wanted. I am saying there values are not increasing and that will not help our financial situation in the event of relegation. The back five ……..good money. Beyer maybe. But more than we paid ? Money hasn’t been wasted …….what is it 7 wingers we have? No C...

Mixedkompany

My OP was really about the commercial situation in the likely event of relegation. Of course many of the younger players will have a reasonable value, however, some will have little exposure and haven’t had the chance to develop and enhance their value and reputation. So, I feel it’s unlikely their ...

Mixedkompany

January window will be massive.
We need several moved out either perm transfer or loan. And three in with quality and experience for CM, CH and CF cover.
In my view of course.

Mixedkompany

As Kompany likes to call them. See ‘ Mission to Burnley’. All very well if they play and perform. But they aren’t and it isn’t happening. So, we go down with ‘unsaleable liabilities’. We’ve paid around £12m for a number of individual players. We will be selling at significant losses and they are too...

Mixedkompany

Must be a slow news day with this coming up yet again.
It was an offer in principle subject to incomings.
We did nothing wrong and he had plenty of time to attract another club.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get a deal.
He does however seem to be getting plenty of tv/radio work these days.

Mixedkompany

The rumours around Brownhill leaving seem to stem from him not being willing to sign a new deal. The timing of this seems consistent with us tying down others like Cullen and Benson. By selling now we could extract a decent fee. He has one year left on his contract with an option for another year. H...

Mixedkompany

A one year deal with a one year extension in our favour or after x games it can be automatically triggered.
I would imagine a contract of that nature could solve that problem. If indeed that is the problem.

Mixedkompany

They were at the Campus at Quinta Do Lago on the Algarve.
I don’t believe they played any matches just training and fitness work.
They left for the uk yesterday afternoon.
I went down to watch and had a quick chat with VK on his exit.
It’s was 31 deg down there yesterday!

Mixedkompany

On the basis of the OP my situation is ;

I’m not a ST holder as I live in Portugal.
Would I have to wait until 17th July to buy 2 tickets v Aston Villa @ home on Sat 26th August?
Or alternatively get some form of membership to purchase them earlier ?

Thanks……

A fair reward for Dyche given what he has saved Everton in their current circumstances.

Charlie provides back up. That’s what he did last night and he did it very well. Certainly a few scary moments which had me shouting at the telly. He’s no more one footed than Maatsen. But Maatsen is the better player when we are on the front foot and is clearly the future at LB. Assuming we sign hi...

I’ve got a pain in my arse … but I don’t discuss it on a football fans forum We get plenty of helpful health threads on here. The Barry Kilby prostrate programme for example. When you’re in your 60’s any health information and support can be invaluable. And alternatively you can just ignore the thre...

Good news
Was that a screening for aged 65 ?
Not sure my surgery are on to this !

Mixedkompany

Tella injury- no contact. Just seemed to over reach for a x field high ball and pulled up.

Mixedkompany

Whilst i wasn’t keen on the number of changes today, we still had enough to win that easily.
3 good chances wasted.
Also if Tella had stayed on I believe we would have won at a canter.
Churlinov offered little and ballooned our best opportunity over the bar.

Mixedkompany

Thanks
Seems it’s on Clarets +
I will go for that.

Mixedkompany

Please……
Struggling for anything here in Portugal
Thanks all

Mixedkompany

I’m hoping we are presented the trophy against Cardiff as I have a ticket and I’m flying over from Portugal for the day.
Also to say goodbye to Ashley Barnes. We can’t do that against QPR.

Mixedkompany

Thought it was a very personal and open video.
They both came across very well.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to Pt. 2
Any video featuring the first goal he scored against Rovers is a winner.

Mixedkompany

Returning to the OP regarding Taylor rather than Maatsen etc etc. As much as I would like to keep Taylor as a back up utility player. I suspect the decision will simply come down to money. It seems all the ex prem old guard are all well paid. 30-40k per week figures banded about as you would expect ...

Mixedkompany

Interesting that Taylor was on the bench last night but our two other CH’s were not. Particularly as El Dakill played at Boro. That suggests to me that VK sees him as a utility type player who can fill in at Centre back and left back. That saves a space on the bench as he covers two positions. Perso...

Thanks Guys
Seems he’s available

Mixedkompany

I haven’t seen mention of him since the passport problem.
Is he available for tonight?
Given the fee we paid for him I would have expected more attention.
Does anyone have any further info?

Thanks

I went in the 100 club for the Wigan match. Reason being i couldn’t get two tickets together elsewhere for myself and my son. It was £75 each.
