Don’t think he’s good enough for the Premier League.
I think we’ll sign a ridiculous name up front on loan or short term that no one would ever think would come to Burnley

Definitely not. I’d rather have Jay Rod playing than him. It’s worrying if VK is looking at him.

Good in Champ not good enough for PL. If he can’t cut it in the Spanish League it’s doubtful he will against better players in the PL.

I must be in the minority but I think he's far from crap. He was superb for large parts of his Rovers career and carried them for many a win both with his goals and his ability to carry the ball up the pitch.

I would certainly not be against a loan move..

Might be worth a punt ,he may have something to prove,hate to say it but Weghorst might bring a bit of beef to the side unless VK can pull a rabbit out of the hat perhaps Haarland.

I think we'll end up signing someone from abroad that none of us have heard of.

Mind you, that can sometimes work well... Sometimes.

Weghörst? He doesn’t want to be at Burnley so hopefully it remains that he’s not.

The situation with Lyle Foster has created the need for someone who can lead the line, if Brereton Diaz can do it we could do a lot worse.

If it happens, I hope he is a huge success and fires us to safety. That would really **** them off. Go Ben!

It'd be almost too sweet to be true, but yeh, he leaves no-hopers Rovers and a bit later comes to save Burnley's bacon. Beautiful. From a pure banter perspective it's too good a possible opportunity for us to turn down.

And we need a bit of Ashley Barnes shithousery back in the side I think. No one will come close to Ash the Bash for that, but Diaz knows how to put himself about.

Sign him on. Cheap loan. Might come off. If not, nothing lost.

His regular position for Blackburn was playing from wide left

Just what we need - another bloody winger

Don't think that is what Brereton Diaz is. Played off Gallagher at Rovers. Not sure he's what we need.

Lad's 6'1 and 80kg. Those are striker stats, not winger stats. From our team last year only Tella scored more in the league than him. As a low risk loan given Lyle's absence we could do a lot worse...

Like bringing back Wout, for example.

OK. So if he can't lead the line he's no good to us, that's OK with me.

I’d take wout back, always would have done, he’s not your man for a relegation scrap though

Doesn't want to play for us, probably never has.
I reckon the only reason he signed was to influence the Netherlands' selectors.

We need to talk Zlatan out of retirement. Shithouse and completes our status as the real AFC Richmond.

No.

His best run in their team was off the left, carrying the ball and cutting in. We don’t need anyone else for that position. Not to mention I don’t think he’d be half as effective in the PL. I’d rather pay Eden Hazard £2m up front and bring him out of retirement for 5 months.

All the build up of him by Rovers fans, I was expecting a good player when we went down to the championship.

He was bobbins.

It will show this structure of club recruitment is terrible if we go anywhere near him.
