I'm in the socially distanced block and mine arrived this morning

Burnley flying to Portugal today for a week. Playing Newcastle over there next Saturday. All a bit weird re: timing if it is happening, and you wouldn't have thought he'd be training with us today if it was practically a done deal, as nobody involved would want the risk of an injury.

With the caveat that, if he scores against us, and celebrates wearing a pair of shades, then I'll be leading the booing :cool: :rolleyes:

Haha - even in my prime, you'd have been disappointed. The odd flick (that wouldn't have come off) but I would have nutmegged an Oxford player at least once (from 50 attempts!)

May do more harm than good - having played at Oxford, I think I'd be letting players do 45 mins max (except C O'H, who must play the full game to improve his fitness levels, and Dabo, who will need to adapt to his new attacking midfield role )

I'd be more than disappointed if we booed him. Never given less than 100%.

Pretty much sums up how I feel, and I was going to mention the effect on the rest of the camp. Hopefully a new face or two around will help settle everyone. If we sell either of the other big 2 I will (for a while) be very twitchy regarding the season (also hope MR bangs his fist enough to...

Didn't realise this, but not sure what the difference is between this and tapping up (albeit via an agent)

I struggle with the laughing emoji, as I nearly always use it meaning I've found something amusing in a positive way, rather than a mocking use. Probably offended the odd person in error!

Sad news, but your last point is a bit concerning. If a club offers x 3 in terms of salary to entice the player, it implies they then offer next to nothing in terms of a purchase price to try and unsettle the player (re: wages) How can a player be offered a salary before any sale has been...

Bloody hell mate, I'm glad you're not in charge of any negotiations for selling our players; I would however, happily put you in charge of negotiating for players we are trying to purchase !

I was referring to the validity of the detail, rather than the validity of the interest.

That is of course if someone, who heard from a mate, who talked to Overson, who would have heard from.......hasn't got a bit of Chinese whispers about it ?!

You know what he means there, G. Of course we'll miss him as a player (but he won't be here in 5 years time - probably none of the current team will) so if we get a large fee and it helps safeguard our club in terms of stability, then for the greater good we may have to sell him. We all want to...

At least one third of it is from this forum. Josh Eccles £5m this time next year - I may delete this post at Christmas.

No problem you asking the question, but he's never going to be able to say either way, is he? Not your fault, nor his.

Burnley have eleventeen players on loan from Man City.

Oxford sub 'Sally Spazoff' unless my ears deceived me !!

Michael Rose injured. Hope it's nothing serious.
