Ken Boon Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Me being the eternal pessimist fully expects Burnley to spend the money on someone like Campbell of Stoke or Ntekiah and for that person to hit the ground running for them ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 1 minute ago, HTT II said: 10 or more a season over the last 4 seasons in a Burnley side, he could well get another 7 for us to match that… again it’s not always about the goals, but what a player adds to a team on and off the pitch. We should know that better than most, Rondon, Perez et al were hardly prolific and our record signing couldn’t hit a ball hard never mind score goals! Wood has been crap this season. All very well asking who will score the goals but he certainly wasn't. Been great for us the past few seasons but he's missed far too many easy chances this time round and is as responsible for us being where we are as anyone else. As long as we replace him well, I'm not too bothered by him going. Top guy and he's getting a huge payday so fair play to him. If this is true then it is a master stroke, Wood is spent We'll be fine, look how much we improved when he went off against Huddersfield Thanks for **** all this season, you absolute lump Burnley fans seem gutted.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It’s difficult to predict how many he’ll get for us tbh when we don’t know how often ASM will pass the ball rather than do three daft stepovers and a pirouette before losing it.

Mazzy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not fussed about the price, that is what it is, we aren't penny pinching anymore. I'm not certain he'll do any better for us than he has for Burnley though, he'll have purple patches and barren spells like every striker. If he can get 6 goals before the seasons end then that'll be a decent return and he'll have done as is expected of him I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could trawl through this forum and find similar shit about Wilson or lately ASM, I’m not disputing their claims as they will know better than any of us, but I just see a decent all-round striker with a 1-3 record who has scored 10 goals or more in the last 4 seasons, who is also regularly fit, seems a good character and adds experience and cover for us. It’s a no brainier type signing if presented, forget about the fee… ideally I’d rather we bought better quality, but as the saying goes, beggars can’t be choosers!

Shearergol Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Well I think this is certainly proving that we're going to struggle in the transfer market, particularly in January. Still, he's probably better than Gayle, there is that. Any 30+ year old relegation rival left backs out there we could pay £20m for to replace Ritchie?

1964 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Some of the responses man! Worst bargaining position ever, worst time to buy anyone, nearly bottom of the league. He is exactly the type of centre forward player we need. Who else? That 19 year old French guy, who hasn't kicked a ball in the premiership, for more money We need players to keep us up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 We were always going to struggle to get top players, considering the position we are in.

Lush Vlad Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I usually hate the “well if his name was Christoph Bois, then everyone would be happy” type arguments. But this does feel like people would be buzzing with an unproven player from another league. As opposed to this boring and kind of uninspiring, but more safe signing. Obviously I would have rather we signed someone like Vlahovic, Schick or Nunez. But I can imagine plenty of top players don’t want to come here right now or will have better offers. We are awful and looking like we’re going to get relegated. Never mind pushing for a Champions League place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Picture it. It's 22nd May 2022, 17:56. Burnley hosting Newcastle on the final day of the season. The score is tied at 3-3 going into the fifth and final minute of injury time. Burnley know a draw is enough to see them maintain the 2 point gap they hold on the visitors. Suddenly Trippier bursts down the right wing, goes to the line and stands a cross up for the onrushing Wood to dive full length and bullet a header into the Burnley net, Turf Moor erupts and Newcastle win the game and their survival with the last attack of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
