Any pro over 25 worth his salt knows how fickle fans are and with a couple of goals and a bit of effort, the fans will be chanting your name.

More *******s about the fans not giving Amdouni a chance. Last seasons Burnley fans must have been the most loyal and tolerant in the history of football. Look at the easy ride Kompany got.
Amdouni got a fair crack of the whip, but he did nothing to warrant fans support, he strolled around the park fannyin about like a school boy

Best advice I could give Pace is get what you can for Amdouni and Weghorst, as they're not what we need
No one said he didn’t play for us because of fan abuse- the first time he got slagged off for not scoring goals to keep us in the league when he was told by the national team coach if he didn’t play higher level football he wouldn’t / couldn’t be selected.

The season in between we gained promotion to the premiership again he came back to us played a pre season game and the deadwood s booed him - when the point was it was top level football and he would have been ( exactly as your description) a fully committed run through walls - chase everything down type player for us - imo anyway that would have made us a stronger team last season and potentially given us more chances in more games ( we’ll never know ).

As for Amdouni we needed to have the ball more for him to be effective in the right positions of the pitch -VK got shape and personnel wrong quite a bit last season ( however it’s a game of opinions we all know that ).
But for me just 100% just isn’t enough anymore

Interesting that Dyche seems to be linked to a lot of our players so VK must have had something right

Esteve - Assignon and Larsen in the last two weeks or. So

I think I’m a little more tolerant than you in just expecting players to tie their laces day 1 and mould into a team and deliver attractive football oh and Win more than lose .

It didn’t work last year but let’s say section of our fans are too quick to write / slag players off imo.

Weghorst will go for let’s say 5/6 million which tells me at his age he’s still a decent player and of the 12 million he cost 4 season back he’s better than we give him credit for.
