How on earth did not signing a CB cost us 2 points v Watford? Trippier was beaten in the air for the goal.

Ask on any Burnley forum, he's been very poor individually.

100% no. He's been awful all season.

Does anyone else despise the use of the word 'project' when talking about running a football club

No, for everyone. Just look at the stats for every January transfer window over the last decade. Clubs don't want to sell. I'm sure there have been 100s of approaches by agents to us, that doesn't mean a thing if the selling club doesn't want to think about selling until the last week in January or, in the case of a number of our targets, the summer

This happens every year though. It has nothing to do with clubs not wanting to buy players and everything to do with selling clubs not wanting to risk weakening their squads in the middle of an important run of fixtures.

I agree with this, yes. It might have made sense to try and get a lower profile, reliable CB in earlier. But we don't know who is available. Two thirds of the PL clubs haven't signed a single player yet. People just don't want to do business in Jan.

And almost all of those take it or leave it deals offered in December would probably have been rejected, as has been explained multiple times.

He wasn't out of our price range though. We were led to believe Lille would sell. It's really not our fault the selling club changed their mind. You seem to have an expectation that every transfer can be done in a few days when that really isn't the case in January and especially not for a club in our position.

And Man United would almost certainly not have agreed to do a deal in the first week of Jan. Why do people still not get this.

But what part of that do you think is our fault? You can't just say 'pay what they want' because it isn't as simple as that. Lille moved the goalposts a number of times apparently. You can't just say well £70 million will get him so pay that because this isn't football manager and spending that much does still have repercussions.

Is Alfonso Leocadio legit?

And, with the due respect because this is your home and I am a tourist. Today there is not color, talking about sport performance, between you and us. Tomorrow maybe It is different but not Today. Not sure what of the above you feel is condescending. He's just pointing out the objective fact that Sevilla are La Liga challengers and we are horrific right now. Of course money talks but he isn't saying it won't.

English isn't his first language and to be honest Sevilla are a million times a better prospect than Newcastle right now. I don't know why people get so offended by the idea that a player might turn us down, a lot have already

Just play Dummett as the LCB and Manquillo LWB.

Literally all been linked with us already

We can't unregister Wilson unless you don't want him available for the rest of the season.

NUFC.com say Dummett is in the squad. Get him in at lb, we need solidity.

As I said - different position, different background, one has PL experience, the other doesn't. But yeah apart from that identical

Not before we signed him you dafty As a potential signing how on earth is he similar to Cantwell

Yes, I can see the parallels between the Danish striker with European pedigree, a great goalscoring record but no PL experience and the English midfielder who has spent his entire life at Norwich

I would pay that.
