Its written in Turkish

So it is, my apologies

[Smile]

Talking of transfers, it'll be interesting to see how Leeds do next season now it looks like they've lost their 2 best players in Philips and Raphinha.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Taylor Harwood-Bellis under Kompany at Anderlecht played a lot of his games on the right of a back 3 or at RB in a 4

He also played exactly the same positions at Stoke, he's played more on the right than centre

Also there is no CM in 4222 it's CDM

Just went through the stats.

He has played RB 4 times in his career. He has played LCB 19 times and RCB in over 50 games.

He has played in a back 3 on 9 occasions.

[ClaretMov]

I mean CM and CDM in terms of real football clubs isn't a massive distinction. We're not trying to get 100% chemistry on an online football game here.

Jack Cork can play CM but not a chance he could play CDM that's the difference

[Ric_C]

Barton was more of a CDM, we've not really replaced him since he left. A fit Barton / Defour axis would have been a joy to watch

[RVclaret]

Jack Cork can play CM but not a chance he could play CDM that's the difference

Of course he could

[CoolClaret]

Jack Cork can play CM but not a chance he could play CDM that's the difference

? Of course he can

He played that role exclusively for Swansea for a good number of years

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Jack Cork can play CM but not a chance he could play CDM that's the difference

Usually the key stat for that position is distance covered and Jack Cork used to be frequently in the top 3 in the PL for that.

Possibly his age might prevent him doing that now, but I still think he could do a job there in the Championship.

The man outran Ndidi and Kante in 2019.

[RVclaret]

I predict we will sign another CM/CDM to rotate with Cork, it’s a long season. We’ve already been linked with Keita, Bastien, Cullen and Lokonga who play that role.

Dyche will be in by Christmas

[ClaretMov]

? Of course he can

He played that role exclusively for Swansea for a good number of years

he played that role when he was a 26 to 28 year old, he turned 33 last week

[CoolClaret]

So?

Grezza played there in the Pl at what 37?

Don’t need the athleticism as much as a sitter compared to a box to box player, it’s about anticipation and reading the game.

Lots of cms play deeper once they lose a step - you really don’t know football

The lad we are linked with at Rotherham would fit this role

[claretonthecoast1882]

One of the best in the position was 37 in May and only just left the Prem.

If you think CM and CDM are the same you really don’t know football

[RVclaret]

The lad we are linked with at Rotherham would fit this role

No - quite the opposite.

He is a box to box type, assister / scorer, which in Kompany's system is the CM role next to the Cullen/Cork.

[Newcastleclaret93]

No - quite the opposite.

He is a box to box type, assister / scorer, which in Kompany's system is the CM role next to the Cullen/Cork.

I agree, Wiles is definitely more of the attacker in the CM partnership.

[ClaretMov]

No - quite the opposite.

He is a box to box type, assister / scorer, which in Kompany's system is the CM role next to the Cullen/Cork.

Read what I put after you said CM, it's not opposite is it, the lad from Rotherham would play CM

[CoolClaret]

If you think CM and CDM are the same you really don’t know football

Of course they aren’t the same - but you need less athleticism to play as a sitter than someone who’s expected to go box to box and drive with the ball.

Stamina doesn’t go like pace and acceleration go. Cork will be more than ok as a holding midfield player.

[claretonthecoast1882]

If not CDM where is he playing

[ClaretMov]

According to Manchester evening news CJ Egan-Riley can play CB, RB and CDM, I like the flexibility of some of these player's Kompany is bringing in, and the average age of the squad will be mid 20's instead of mid 30's

[HalifaxClaret]

What is all this CDM & CAM b*ll*cks?

You are a midfielder or a winger.

unreal

[KRBFC]

It's starting to pick up pace now, I think Kompany will go with

Out of the two CAM position's I think one will be Twine

CJ Egan-Riley or Mcnally could possibly play CDM with the other playing along side Collins in CD if he stays.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis would play RB and Taylor LB

Harwood Bellis is a central defender and Egan-Riley is a cb/rb. I don't see why he'd play square pegs in round holes.

[quoonbeatz]

It's not FIFA, lads.

[SkiptonClaret]

Hello, Sean.

[CoolClaret]

It's not FIFA, lads.

Agreed - thought it was pretty common knowledge that as midfielders lose a yard they tend to play further back and are less ‘up and down’.

[KRBFC]

Just went through the stats.

He has played RB 4 times in his career. He has played LCB 19 times and RCB in over 50 games.

He has played in a back 3 on 9 occasions.

I don't think he's ever played right back for Anderlecht, Murillo is the right back there. Kompany started with a back 3 and he played on the right hand side of the 3, Kompany switched to a 4 back and THB's gametime was quickly limited.

Some highly qualified coaches on this thread Midfielders who can pass a ball more than 10 yards, preferably to another Burnley player, would be a good start

It’s not a surprise that we’ve forgotten that midfielders can do those things though

Sean is that you?

Are you thinking Kompany may start with a back 3 here?

[HalifaxClaret]

I don't think they are coaches. They just lock themselves in their bedrooms and play computer games apart from when they are looking at 'stats'.

[KRBFC]

It’s not a surprise that we’ve forgotten that midfielders can do those things though

According to some on here we're about to dominate possession with a midfield pairing of Cork and Brownhill

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Are you thinking Kompany may start with a back 3 here?

I was thinking he was going for a back three and that's why we're bringing three centre backs in, but most seemed to think it was because Collins is going.

[claretonthecoast1882]

After seeing Brownhill away at Leeds last season when he was the cause of the defeat there is no chance of that happening

[CnBtruntru]

Anybody who can pass a ball to one our own would be good

[Burnley1989]

After seeing Brownhill away at Leeds last season when he was the cause of the defeat there is no chance of that happening

Am I right in saying this was the game he didn’t even play in? Trying to remember who called him out for it now

[KRBFC]

Are you thinking Kompany may start with a back 3 here?

I think so but Egan-Riley, Mcnally and Harwood-Bellis is an incredibly inexperienced back 3.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

I think so but Egan-Riley, Mcnally and Harwood-Bellis is an incredibly inexperienced back 3.

That's why I think he wants Collins to stay at least a season, and why I think it will be an astronomical bid to get us to sell.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Am I right in saying this was the game he didn’t even play in? Trying to remember who called him out for it now

He wasn't even in the squad, so it's impressive that he got blamed for it

[Smile]

Haha, I must have missed that, who said what?

[RVclaret]

Haha, I must have missed that, who said what?

Resident football expert KRBFC was slandering Brownhill and roasting him for how poor he was at Leeds away last season, blaming him for our shocking midfield performance there.

Thing is, he wasn’t even in the squad for that game.

[bumba]

I think so but Egan-Riley, Mcnally and Harwood-Bellis is an incredibly inexperienced back 3.

Harwood-Bellis is more experienced that Kevin Long in the championship, he's more experienced than Tarky was when he signed for Brentford, more experience than Tripper and Mee when we signed them. I think the other two are backup to Collins and THB

[Steddyman]

If there is anything Brownhill is good at, it is being a workhorse and chasing down the ball.

Who wasn't even in the squad - KRBFC?

[Juan Tanamera]

It costs the sharp end of £10k for a UEFA Pro Licence.
Our resident 'experts' pay around £40 for Football Manager.
Make what you will of that.

[Newcastleclaret93]

It’s all good banter roasting KRBFC for that but his point stands. Our midfield was abysmal for 90% of the season last year. It’s got to be an area that’s improved upon this window.

[Vino blanco]

I still think we need to replace Cork, Westwood, Barnes amd Rodriguez, who are all too old now for a season in the Championship. Am I asking for too much?
