He has everything we want from our RCM like I'd prefer him to Maddison. Absolutely no chance Chelsea sell him for £40m like

Probably be converted into a CDM. ETH mush have been on mushies when he came up with whatever epiphany he had with that transfer like.

Makes a bit of a mockery of Howe's philosophy if he drops Burn tbh, I doubt it happens.

Hauling your 40m signing off at half time is what you want like

Eh?

We looked absolutely shattered like Pressing a team like Brighton is hard though as they're so good on the ball, a great performance today was a long shot like.

Absolutely shite. I'd bring Longstaff on for Willock, not that Willock has done much wrong like, just doesn't feel suited to this game Bruno's worst game but we need him on the pitch.

Thay was borderline at best, these officials are blowing far too early. Either use VAR or don't, sick of this inconsistent shite.

Embarrassing that like

Is nee one elses cock rock fucking hard?

If he ran to the bench will he not just be going down the tunnel to get something?

THERE'S A NEW ITK IN THE HOUSE!!

We were offering Longstaff a contract though. We're not offering Shelvey one (not yet anyway) as he has an automatic extension.

He just said it's not for him to discuss basically Shelvey will get a contract extension one way or another.

Everton are nowhere near well drilled enough to be playing without a number 9 like Assumed the plan would be to clip it over for Gordon on the break but he's all over the pitch.

Areet finish that like

Connor Gallagher alongside Bruno and Joelinton would be titillating mind. Doubt Chelsea would agree to a permanent deal though.

Lamptey to open the scoring with a back post header.

Bot sure we would be offering Dummett a new contract of he wasn't able to deal with Brighton like.

Is BT coverage always a bunch of random middle aged men skype calling each other? Seems canny shite.

It's not too elegant but giving a penalty instead of sending the player off for red card offences would be a massive improvement. They could still be banned the following game(s).

Everton & Leicester double @28/1

Mental how Burnley fans will now only be realising what actual football is.

Also not wanting to overpay is different to being hamstrung by FFP, the former is naturally linked to the latter however. You (TCD) are completely right that a Dan Burn is bad from a FFP POV, but that should also tell you that trying to calculate FFP in the way we're seeing journalists do it is completely stupid. The important thing that we're seemingly doing is setting up a proper transfer structure for upgrading our squad over the coming seasons.

Must have missed Optimistic Nut posting this hot take: "From the information available... we are monitoring the market e.g. no formal bids have been made. It is worrying and sub-optimal. It looks like we will do business very late and look to see what's available rather than identifying particular players which iss not the best approach." Wood and Burn are also not the same kind of signing. Wood was £10-15m more and nobody in their right mind thought it was a good deal at the time. We were just absolutely desperate for a striker and he was available straight away, with PL experience, due to his release clause. Most people could see the value in both Burn and Targett. Great signings for a great price. If we settle for similar on the 31st and upgrade them in 6-12 months time I'd pull my helmet off.
