Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
They should be down on their knees thanking God and all the Angels that Dyche wandered into Turf Moor almost a decade ago. He has overseen 2 promotions and 6 seasons in the top flight with relatively little expenditure.
At this stage you just have to think anyone who says 'Allardyce" is a clown looking for a laugh.

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
First summer they've really splashed any significant cash and they are right down the bottom.
I often hear Burnley fans complaining about lack of finances and spending but what have they been doing with all the money? They have a low wage bill and relatively cheap players but they still get the same TV money as everyone else. Where has it gone?

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
They're in a similar position to us. Over reliant on sentiment and using the same aging players forever. They've got away with it, as there's been 3 teams worse than them every year, but that doesn't look to be the case this year. Huge wake up call for the 3 stooges at the top (if we stay up of course).
Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
They spent £14m on their French signing Cornet in the summer who undoubtedly their most talented footballer, he's been banging in goals like yesterday's all season, you could say he is to Burnley what Raphinha is to Leeds.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 10:08 am First summer they've really splashed any significant cash and they are right down the bottom.

Also £12m on Connor Roberts from Swansea plus four free signings including Aaron Lennon.

Would presume the owners, chairman etc have been paying themselves extremely well.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 10:08 am First summer they've really splashed any significant cash and they are right down the bottom.

Dyche has done extremely well given his budget. Not keen on the style of their football but not easy to change a team's style and improve their points without major expenditure.

Cornet is the kind of signing that Orta with his European connections should be securing for us.

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
James is British and you pay a premium for British players. I'm happy with James, 25 is a reasonable price

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
Strongly disagree.
The British transfer market is well known for being exceptionally poor value throughout Europe.
Its a massively inflated market which makes bargains very hard to find.
£25mil for Dan James is very poor value when compared to similar deals throughout Europe imo.

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
Not saying it's right but it is the norm. James for one quarter of Grealish's price is a f**king steal

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
No guarantee with foreign players that they will be able to acclimatise. Dan James is a less risky signing in that he knows the country, speaks the language, knows the weather, knows the tempo of the football, has his family and friends living nearby etc. All stuff which can make a huge difference to how well a player will perform.
Interestingly Burnley's starting XI yesterday contained 8 of the same players that also started a match for them in August 2018. So while people can knock Burnley for being so poor it was a side that was familiar with each other and well used to playing their way. The keeper, Dwight McNeil and Charlie Taylor were the 3 players who didn't play in that match and both McNeil and Taylor were at the club in 2018 so again are both well used to playing for Burnely. Definitely more a case of us making them look poorer than they actually are.

Just read Cornet is away on African Cup duty for the next four to six weeks.

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
Yep, also cracking value. But a much higher risk

Re: Burnley Thread - Their fans very unhappy!
Proven Prem player that is British vs someone that "should" make it.
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.
Re: Burnley Thread - How long has Dyche got?
Virtually the same team they fielded v Leeds & are knocked out of the cup by Huddersfield.
