    Fabio Tavares

    It was interesting to see MR change the shape of the team earlier than last season and Fabio was key to that option. I think he'll be used as an impact sub all this season.

    Derby fans seem to think £3.5 m for Sibley would be the fee that would be sought

    EFL.............What's their position on this? It's not a good look.

    O'Hare bids

    Its not just a club meeting the transfer fee we want…..any deal will also be influenced by the schedule of payments. I would guess we would want two payments rather than four to six that Burnley would suggest

    O'Hare bids

    This story is fast moving for Burnley. They’ve just taken the next three instalments on Popes transfer fee from MacCrorie Bank, which is the equivalent of a payday loan. Today, they’ve pulled out of a transfer for an Anderlecht player and the remainder of the £65m loan is payable at circa 10%...

    O'Hare bids

    There are a number of issues that the club would have considered when dealing with Burnley: 1. The owners have a clause in the agreement to buy Burnley that in the event of relegation they will be paid fees. This year it is reported to be £15M. 2. They have a very high wage bill that even after...

    Championship 22-23

    I find it incredible that certain “interesting individuals” keep turning up in potential football club takeovers. It just makes me feel the “fit and proper persons test” is NOT fit for purpose. You only need to not have any spent criminal convictions & show proof of funds… and we know from the...

    O'Hare bids

    The impression it gives of Burnley being "entitled" to recruit O'Hare for whatever they "deem" appropriate stinks! I really hope they don't get promoted for the next 3 seasons.....then we will see a financial reckoning

    Thanks for your insight, which correlates with my experience with players having a tough experience when realising that they are commodities to be traded. Alongside this is the role of the agent, who is conflicted …. They make significant money from such a move as this. Young players need to...

    How much of their wages will they pay? That’ll be the limiting factor

    And with Kelly out injured …… and Eccles not yet ready ….. it doesn’t look like a good idea to sell O’Hare.

    Bassini has a very "interesting" track record. I'm just pleased he's not involved in our club

    Transfer Shouts

    I think everyone has identified the need to strengthen the defence. We conceded too many goals to be a play off team. We scored enough goals last season to be in the play off's, so if we can keep both Godden and Gyokores fit and at the club....the along with W & W we have enough depth in that...

    Away Ticket Points Scheme Unveiled!

    Any system which tries to allocate a limited resource is always going to upset somebody. I've just looked at the criteria and as I've had a season ticket for the past 4 years, it seems I get a good chance of away tickets. However, I only go to home matches...so that's one ticket that will be...

    His injury record since his his season with us has been terrible. I would be a big gamble to sign him and one we probably can't take.

    New Kit !

    Great shirt......it's a return of one of my favourites! Well done CCFC!

    New Kit !

    I’m definitely in the group of supporters that never want to see a CCFC chocolate kit ever again. It reminds me of the 7-1 thrashing by West Brom…. Possibly my worst away experience
