    Think I'd have Beto on now...

    That final third is going to be bottom 3 for goals no matter the manager. Just as it was under the 2 before Dyche. We are in a relegation fight next season if we don't bring in better players.

    Just can't see us scoring unless it's a punt from distance, or a set piece. We never work goals well. Just awful final third.

    Good subs IMO. Both Garner and Doucoure very poor tonight. We can't seem to get Garner involved in any game.

    Indeed. So perhaps it's unfair for us to moan at the manager for not trying to play expansive, high press, quick football. You expect a manager in any walk of like to manage the resources they have. I agree he hasn't shown "flair and finesse" it in his history in the Prem (his team were...

    Whatever we could get for him now, we could get in 5 years.

    The Four Months Though Lads - Worse than Mike Walker

    I suspect he'll be hamstrung by having no owner, or money to buy the attacking ability we've lacked for many years now, which has dictated relegation scrap. Watch as we offer £0 upfront again for the likes of Gnonto.

    Fleet street/London media and England players. If Pickford played for Arsenal, he'd get much less grief, IMO.

    Comes with being England number 1. Years of having Gary Neville/Roy Keane types pick at him for being Englang number 1 too.

    Revisionism from you, yes. You're saying just now we shouldn't be loaning the likes of Danjuma - when in the past as I've shown you've been longing for us to sign Danjuma, and even said last summer to me that we'd improved by bringing in Danjuma and Young for Gordon. Look; No coincidence it...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Bellis remained in the Championship after Burnley went up. Wonder why. As for "These are the players we should be looking to for loans not the likes of a Danjuma" ...Danjuma was a player we wanted/"signed" before Dyche. So that gives you an idea on who brought him in. Any money we've spent in...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    There's clearly a big difference. I give you examples of what loan fees cost. "Ancient freebies" as you refer to, who you think we only bring in because of Dyche cost just wages. Harwood-Bellis is a centre half playing his third season on the spin in Championship. Why didn't Burnley sign...

    2023/24 Jordan Pickford

    Where to start with this? He's Brighton's first choice keeper. They signed him last summer for £16m+. Since then he's become a full international for Netherlands. Brighton, who notoriously don't sell on the cheap. So you're advocating we sell Pickford for £30-40m - in a market where Beto an...

    The Four Months Though Lads - Worse than Mike Walker

    I'd take 17th next season now for that reason + the teams coming up have more about them than the ones going down this season. Factor in the ownership chaos impeding summer recruitment - next season doesn't bode well.

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Loans cost money. Danjuma cost around £3.5m for a loan fee, before wages. Ross Barkley who wasn't in the Chelsea squad cost Villa £8m to loan for a season a few years back. Harrison, I don't believe did due to contract clause. Ashley Young was free. Imagine we didn't bring either of those in...

    Well, no. I can tell you now - we haven't got a pot to piss in and that's nothing to do with Sean Dyche.

    The Four Months Though Lads - Worse than Mike Walker

    The same before Dyche too. The common denominator? We don't have players who can create, or score. Or pace. The squad we have now, dictates relegation fight next season too. Just like it has the previous three.

    lol I know, right? He should have earned a few bob over the years to start paying for players HIMSELF Insane isn't it? Beto and Chermiti cost £0 upfront. I dare say if they didn't, neither would be here. Eventually costing approx £45m. I don't think Dyche would have been chomping at the...

    He's favourite after Tuchel. If England have a good Euros, there's every chance. After Southgate, it's Potter and De Zerbi according to the bookies - not a lot of choice it seems.
