Think they are really happy with the 2 new players coming in this week, LWB is being looked but would expect someone like Doyle who came in this week

@Skybluebeliever By next week, do you mean this week ? (seems a ridiculous question, but I'm asking anyway ! )

So more unproven kids basically? I don't mind, but they should stop selling a kipper as a whale really.

Our signings could turn out to be good, but they are pretty raw. Palmer - disappointing for years. Doyle - very young. Panzo - not lived up to the hype so far. I think our management can get the best possible outcome from these players, but let's not pretend they aren't bargain basement.

I know many fans are just happy to get anyone in, but let's be realistic. Considering how much we have developed, and given that we are probably going to sell a top asset, to me at least, this is all really disappointing.

Not if you’re a Southampton or Leeds fan, one less relegation spot to worry about when Norwich come up

Is our defence choice at the moment that bad ? Dabo, Kane, Rose, McFadz, Doyle, Panzo, Bidwell, plus the young rb whose name I keep bloody forgetting, there’s Eccles too, yes there are two or three young ‘uns ‘ which there are fingers crossed for and not securing JCS a bit of a blow but add one more to them I reckon we’ll be okay. If we do wouldn’t surprise me to see one , McFadz perhaps move on, we have until September the first lot of time yet.

Was nice of Maatsen to say that he was on loan here last season but now he’s taken a step up to a bigger club. Does he know that Burnley got relegated?

To be fair, it's the sort of thing any player would say in his position.

A bit like, 'When I saw Fleetwood were interested in me, it was an easy decision to make, due to the set up, the manager etc etc' I suspect most of the loanees will have spouted similar about their 'new' clubs.

Well I’ll agree to disagree with Ian on Burnley being a bigger club, although yeah he’s not gonna say it’s a sideway step. But I’ll sort of give him the benefit of the doubt, because he’s done a shit job of sounding convinced. Like he’s been given the answer before the question.

They've sold more season tickets than us and had a higher average attendance last season

tbf, he’s 20, in that time Burnley have been a regular top flight side and we’ve been loitering around the lower divisions. I do love the idea of him settling down to watch the 87 cup final though

Yeah very true. He probably would have said similar if it was the other way round

Think we had the higher average attendance despite them being Premier League.

I’m beginning to think we are developing a bit of Burnleyfobia on here, they have a new manager re-building what in my opinion was a poor relegated team who have had to sell a number of their better players and bring new ones in not all with championship experience we all know how uncompromising this division is, as great a player Vince Kompany was he will find it very different to what he experienced at Man City.
As a side to this I can’t see any attraction for Callum O’Hare to swop Cov for Burnley

Massive increase in wages is the only advantage to him but that itself is decisive.

it’s really just bodies we need in case of injury and a lwb understudy to bidwell. another centre back and lwb would be very welcome.

The population of the Burnley area is larger id guess Burnley is about the size of Nuneaton but there are a number for towns Foulridge, Barrowford, Padiham, Brierfeld, Nelson, Colne and Burnley all more or less roll into each other bet the total population would be wel over 200k and then there are nearby towns like Earby & Barnoldswick where my dad large loyal Burnley support there.
