Had he been quicker and sharper our 1-1 at Villa Park would have been a win and 3 points. That would have probably kept us up

Whatever .. with Martial being injured it looks like he will be in the Man U squad at the very least in the Cup Final on Saturday. That will mean at a minimum he will have a major English football winners and runners-up medal, possibly two winners medals, in less than six months. Two more than Harry Kane has ever had!

Perhaps a good game for Burnley at Brighton apart he never floated my boat in a Burnley shirt but if he doesn't get a deal he wants if United turn him down in the summer, he will be a Burnley player on Premier League wages for another two years

I Hope he scores the winning goal on Saturday.
Good luck to him. I don’t think there are many of us on here who wouldn’t have taken steps to progress our career.That’s pretty much what he did.
He’s not a Burnley fan. He’s a professional sportsman, probably nearing the end of his career.

And the fact is we paid a lot of money for him and have had very little back, and have treat him well and gone by his wishes.

I wish him well the same as you but he's employed by us. We're not just here to give him a free ride.

Do you think it was optional not to go by his wishes it was conditional prior to signing him.

I think it probably was actually unless he had a release clause which if he did nobody has met it. Maybe he had a clause in his contract for a loan transfer but we will never know. Otherwise in general, no you wouldn't break a promise unless it was hard times and we had no choice.

My point though was we have facilitated not just 1 but 2 loan transfers for him and he was talking about his future at United beyond this season and speaking with them. He hasn't mentioned returning to Burnley from what I can see.

I don't see the loyalty that some fans are showing to him reciprocated.

It's in our interests & his for the loan agreements to be arranged, we don't want him & he doesn't want to play for us, it's an unhappy marriage with no future & mutually we need to work a way out of it with minimal financial loss.

I he's not answering his phone then hopefully Vinny has left a message for him like:
Hi Wout, we start pre-season training on (date and time), see you there. See how that pans out.

That must be why he played all those games for Man United then, and their highly rated manager mustn’t have a clue what he is doing?

Wout is currently a claret and as such I hop he has an excellent game on Saturday and gets on the scoresheet. However, I have to say that I don’t think he’s what we need this season. As a forward player he consistently misses chances that he should be taking.

I wish we could just leave him alone until we know what his future is. Too many entrenched positions which might mean VK can’t resurrect his Burnley career even if he wants to.

Ten Haag finds a use for him. So it isn’t inconceivable that VK could want the same.

Re: Weghorst

I guess a lot will depend on Wout’s attitude. I know some are saying his attitude is not good but from what I have seen he always seems to give it his all. If he is prepared to do what VK wants then I that’s good. But I still don’t rate him.

I still think that was a good block by Mings tbf. It’s Cornet’s miss at Norwich and pen miss at WHU I look back on.

They still annoy me because although we’ve had a great season, we could’ve had a longer uninterrupted period in the Prem. Although maybe our new style needed to be seeded in a lower division!

I think that there are a number of possible reasons why his career numbers haven’t matched his Prem Numbers. Only one of which is he isn’t very good. He has something about him but his confidence is through the floor. He may be able to come through. There have been games for us and Utd where he has been good. He works hard and has good technique. That might be enough to get VK interested in at least trying him.

Reports online that Dyche wants to buy Weghorst. Seems a strange one because it clearly didn’t work between manager and player with us. If true then his recruitment policy seems severely limited…

What's your evidence for this.
Weghorst started every game for Dyche until his departure. It was Jackson who dropped him.
That rather suggests that Dyche rated him.

Weghorst wasn't a dyche signing I don't think he had much of a say in it, he played him he had to really, can you imagine him not playing him the position the club was in, would have been an uproar with everybody excited about him & not knowing thinking he would have been a success, that much pressure you had to give the lad a go despite any misgivings.

Not sure why you ask?
Dyche was certainly our manager at the time, and he was always in his starting eleven.
Was Dyche told that he had to sign him and play him? I doubt that Dyche would have worn that, and based on Dyche's record with the club, he wouldn't have picked him unless they saw eye to eye and he rated him.
To be honest, I'm not really sure that he fits into a Dyche type system, but nonetheless Dyche persisted with him, so he must have been seeing something on the training ground.
