Dont see Lenihan going. 

Maybe looking at Striker but cant find what he after at the minute

That will be because we have no money to spend. 30 goals a season men ain't usually free.

Hope this will allow Tomlinson to go out on loan, he needs games.

He's good enough to get game time coming off the bench for us.

He's been at the club 4 years we bought him from Belvedere for a small nominal fee.

I stand corrected sir, i know we would get nowhere near 5m but 2-3m could be possible in these inflated days

Trouble is he can only pass backwards...

I agree but he won't get much time if he's 5th choice.

'Not ruled out new centre half', well we need one!

That being said, it seems we played a little better with Williams central and Doyle wide left, so at least we have cover.

Need a hard nut back there!

Yer, we really could do with a uncompromising centre back. Should be high on TM's priority list.

Quite a long (almost 9 mins) and comprehensive interview

Covers most of what Chaddy mentioned

Midfielder is a centre mid not a winger by sounds of it

Working hard on a central defender, don't need to risk Lenihan at the moment.

 

I wouldn't look for a centre mid myself, as many have said Mulgrew might be better there, but also surely Tomlinson is ready to be 4th choice by now.  I hope it isn't Gary Roberts, never seen him but a 33 yr old released by Portsmouth?

 

Yeah hope it's not Roberts myself,just a coincidence leaving Portsmouth suddenly

Andre Gray is off to Watford. Turned down Spurs and Newcastle apparently 

[K-Hod]

£18 Million for Gray and he's in the last year of his contract. The Dingles certainly saw Watford coming!

The amount of money they have brought in on transfers and TV money over the past few seasons means they will be set for a very ,very long time financially.

Venkys should have played the long game, rather than cash in and downgrade. With the infrastructure we used to have and our ability to unearth talent or convert lost causes into stars - can you imagine how much they'd be worth? Same goes for the Walker trust, if they weren't so hasty.

In the modern madness:

Santa Cruz off the back of his good season - £70m plus?

Samba - £35m?

Jones - £50m?

N Zonzi - £35m?

 

We're are the ones suffering but it serves the greedy gits right.

True but the natives are becoming restless. They got £25m for Keane and if they get £18m for Gray that's around £43m in and the arse end of nothing spent on the likes of Walter's and Bardsley. The did invest in Cork but I thought he was overpriced. The people I know who live in the land that time forget are expecting relegation.

Not if they keep spending £10 million a time on the Jack Corks of this world....

Inevitable that the inbred natives would begin to get uneasy at the club policy to sell players for huge profits and not reinvest the cash. A complete lack of imagination with the players they have brought in with a couple of Stoke rejects and bringing Cork back in. Next news is they'll be getting on Dyche's back when he continues to employ his negative tactics to grind out results.

They should appreciate what they have. I don't think they will go down. Too many good Irish players there

Thats about the going rate for an average Prem midfielder

For 2 million, Walters was a bargain. Solid Prem player with 2 more years left in him. Can play upfront or on the wing too

If there is one thing the Dingles don't really have much right to do is get on Dyche's back (maybe physically) even if his negative football relegates them.

He's given them everything they used to be jealous of us for.

Will be 18 million with add - ons I shd imagine they won't have that much flashcash to spunk, I heard there signed somebody else the other day for 11million can't remember who. Does Elton John still have any involvement within the club does anyone know?

[tomphil]

Paying for their state of the art training ground out of this lot probably and as much as the dingles are in la la land  I know more than a few reckon uncles Barry and Ray & co are doing very nicely out of the Prem tv cash.

There'll be a version of rinse and repeat going on there as well.

18.5 million for Andre Gray is crackers, he couldn't trap a medicine ball in the desert.

 

[Give 'Em the Axe]

@Pedro , you're an evil genius, man. I saw your post on my break and spend the next couple of hours gooing with excitement to watch the clip. Totally had! Well played.

All my Burnley supporting mates don't rate him at all, doesn't change the fact they are selling last seasons top scorer 3 days before the season starts. They give it the big'en about the fact they are a prem club run by local businessmen but them local businessmen are clearly giving themselves absolutely huge pay cheques out of that sky tv money pot. Think we'll be playing them next season!
