  1. Off to Dortmund in the summer on a free.
  2. They had Gakpo, Nunez and Salah with Jota and Firminho in reserve and were missing Diaz. We had McNeil, Iwobi and Simms with Maupay and Gray in reserve and were missing Calvert-Lewin and Townsend. A disappointing performance but not surprising result - Leeds and Villa are games we need to throw everything at - 6 points and things will look a lot less depressing.
  3. We can register him but he can’t play for a 3rd team this season. In accordance with FIFA Regulations a Player may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play in official matches for two clubs.
  4. He can’t play for a 3rd club this season - he’s already played for Barca and Chelsea.
  5. They had a change of manager in October so probably didn’t help the man (Lopetegui - new Wolves manager) who signed him leaving a couple of months later.
  6. Caught everything today - my criticism of him is that he doesn’t command his area on crosses and punches too many but don’t think he punched one today. It may have just been a coincidence with the types a ball delivered but felt he was so much more commanding and I felt so much better with him collecting crosses.
  7. McNeil - energy and quality delivery. Special mention to so many other players but Doucoure looked like a player with something to prove and Mykolenko was defensively excellent.
  8. McNeil! Beyond him… he brought Collins off Stoke and played him first team - think he was only 19 so he’ll play ‘good enough’ youngsters - Trippier was signed young and developed but maybe before Dyche. Burnley aren’t renowned for their academy like you say though - Jay Rodriguez, Kyle Lafferty… Lee Dixon!!! I do hope this shitshow provides opportunities for someone like Mills - we need something!
  9. Presumably Dyche will go 4-4-2 so here’s what he’s got: GK: Pickford/Begovic RB: Patterson (inj)/Coleman LB: Mykolenko/Vinagre CB: Tarkowski/Coady/Godfrey/Mina/ Keane/Holgate CM: Iwobi/Gueye/Onana/Garner (inj)/ Doucoure/Davies LM: McNeil RM: Gray/Townsend (inj) ATT: Calvert-Lewin/Maupay/Simms Youth: Mills/ Price Options… recall Dobbin/Cannon? Sign unwanted free agents?! What a ridiculously imbalanced mess… 6 centre backs compared to the attacking options (lack of)… a couple of injuries to Gray/Iwobi/DCL and what have we got? We needed 2 wingers and a striker before Gordon went - DISGRACEFUL!
  10. Burnley fans I know said McNeil was brilliant when he broke through as a line-hugging left winger but then Dyche started trying to play him inside more and that impacted negatively - we’ll see I suppose.
  11. Kopite on the wind up - switch off - it’s gone.
  12. Don’t do it to yourself… it’ll be, ‘we were holding on for Connor Gallagher but the Fernandez deal didn’t get over the line.’
  13. Brandy - half a pint - only way to switch off tonight!
  14. So… after 20 games our 3 strikers, Maupay, Calvert-Lewin and Simms, have 1 - 1 - 0 goals… we’ve just sold the player who has scored 20% of our league goals this season. A little fun fact to really highlight how wonderful we are - Wesley Faes has scored more for Liverpool than Calvert Lewin and Maupay have for us combined… and he’s a centre back… oh and he doesn’t even play for Liverpool… hey ho - we’ve had good times
  15. We may as well have kept Rondon!!! Forest want him too and this won’t be resolved until tomorrow with him being on a free.
  16. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11694375/Everton-open-discussions-free-agent-Andre-Ayew-Goodison-Park.html This seems the most likely deal to me and it wouldn’t surprise me if Ayew was brought on a short term deal to help him settle and provide cheap and very short term cover (6 months max!)
  17. Burnley have signed 3 strikers in the last week or so - Barnes and Rodriguez are coming here aren’t they?!?!
  18. He’s literally the perfect midfielder for ‘the Dyche system’ - a Jeff Hendrick hybrid! Don’t think we’ll be seeing him here though.
  19. He’ll want 4 strikers so DCL, Maupay and 2 more. Think he’ll keep Simms if can only get 1 but I’m convinced we’ll be seeing one of his old boys in there
  20. I can still see Simms going back to Sunderland before Tuesday - they’ve just had Gelhardt off Leeds but their main striker got injured again and they were short anyway. They’ve got a very good chance of being in the play-off mix so don’t think they’ll want to be short on attackers. I hope we bring this lad from Coventry in (Gyorkes) but think Dyche will go for Barnes or Rodriguez as a short ‘fix’ option… Burnley have just signed a striker Chris Wood would have 100% been part of the Gordon deal if Dyche had been in earlier!
