Given the previous owners refused to invest presumably so they could sell to ALK via a leveraged buyout I have to be honest I'm not a big fan, however, they ran a community club for many years without debt and up to the point of selling - successfully built a couple of squad to the point we were in...

Players don’t get work permits, their employers do and they are not transferable.

I didn't say they were Mitoma went to USG so he could play the games necessary at the right level to reach the required work permit points

You’d expect a journo from turkey to get info regarding a player playing in turkey but the amount of tweets regarding Burnley in the last day, highly doubt a free lance has that must info from England, France and Italy Fabrizio Romano does. Agents. Sacha does but his focuses more on Beglium and Fra...

According to Brighton at the time they loaned him out to gain experience playing in Europe. But he was also short of the merit points to get a work permit to play here apparently. So it wasnt true as I suggested. For the other question of course you can buy a player who doesnt have the work permit ...

How did it help them with Mac Allister?
Or Mitoma for that matter? They didn't buy him from USG, they bought him from direct from Japan

Mitoma was bought and sent out to USG because they he didnt have enough work permit points to come straight into the UK so thats Rooster is just not true.

On the subject of young wingers, should we lose Benson, don’t forget that we bought 18-yr-old Enock Agyei from Anderlecht in January and sent him straight out on loan to KV Mechelen (Steven Defour). I’m not sure how well he’s done. He doesn’t seem to have played much, but would a full pre-season wi...

for everyone whingin bout Ekrem he doesnt need Burnley twitter traffic he gets enough. He also is followed by Andy Jones the Burnley athletic reporter AND Fabrizio Romano. Ekrem was also the first journalist to report on Weghorst to Manchester United.

I don't really get the point of it. I can't see that a club with average attendances of 6,000 generating much money or that many players. If we had a thriving academy like Chelsea, which has become a business in its own right and generates revenue by developing players that aren't good enough for t...

The money to buy the club will come from club accounts as was reported when our initial interest was made clear. "Burnley have decided to back off instead choosing to allocate funds to investing in Kompany's playing staff" Not verbatem but meh club funds will pay for it and thats fine due to the lon...

HistoricalClaret

The whole Benson is leaving saga comes from Ekrem Konur who is not a reliable journalist at all + I always think that reports linking several clubs with one player are pretty much a guesswork. Ekrem is reliable but ok. Benson isnt leaving though all it states is people are interested and they proba...

Benson won't be going this summer.

This model will allows us to sign foreign wunderkinds on the cheap that otherwise wouldn't have gotten work permits. Without this system we will continue to buy players when they have played 3 seasons and are worth 15 million. With it we get them when we first seem them for 1.5 million. I have three...

What would be the benefit of owning a club in Belgium as opposed to a traditional feeder club arrangement?

Direct control over everything they do the way they play. Players that we want from them etc etc its complete control.

Yet if you and everyone else looked at social media you would all know that, according to hibs fans, CJ Egan Riley has been a massive hit they all think he is absolute quality and an asset to their team. He has a chant and a lot of fan love there. Although the Hibs fans believe he is more of a six ,...

Similarly your shout about Weghorst was shocking. It’s all about opinions. I just can’t see a guy that’s barely featured at championship level getting game time in the prem. I don’t think it benefits him or us for Twine to be around the squad. If we think he’s got potential he needs to be playing w...

For the record there are clubs in Turkey who want Weghorst permanently. He also isnt remotely good enough for us or Manchester United for those who suggest he is.

He’s not really much of a goal scorer. Two for us and two for Man Utd. He still has TWO YEARS left on his contract. Who on earth decided to sign him in the first place?

A scout who saw he was scoring more than Haaland in the Bundesliga up to his last season.

Not a chance have we just given them 15 million up front. Even if it was that much it will only be 3 million tops out of next years budget

It was suggested on another thread by a poster from a decent source that this headline €15m the German side are pushing out included bonuses and loan fee. Basically a total fee for everything. Interesting considering the Germans arent the ones pushing that numbers it The Athletic Germans are saying...

HistoricalClaret

Apparently quite a bit of that is bonuses and loan fee. Similar to Gibson, everyone always calls the 15m fee but we only ever paid around 8. "The 22-year-old joins the club for a fee believed to be in the region of £13million (€15m) and signs a four-year deal." as reported by the Athletic typically...

more than that we have literally already spent 15 on one player

Oh, the other thing is; If we see decent bids in for the likes of Cullen, Roberts, and our two flying wingers then steel yourself for the fact that they’ll be moved on.

That's a different question all together, I wouldn't want to hold him back if he has ambitions. He played a fair number of games last season, and never let us down once. Having a solid back up, with experience is difficult to find, and wouldn't come cheap. Hes not solid. We will go for a young back...

I can't see us chasing a keeper, unless BPF is off, which would be a great shame. He has the quality, and experience, that is hard to buy.

You don’t think it took some convincing for the likes of benson this season?

Benson, a relatively nobody in the BPL who Vincent has recently said was never given a chance or seen for what he is prior to coming to Burnley. No, No I don't think it took much convincing at all.
