    I dont think young promising play want to come and play for us, our style of football.. Chelsea, city, Liverpool, utd all have loads of talent ant itching for game time, but like Amad Diallo would rather go to Shef Utd.. but I dont ever see us linked with any such loans.. when you think that would be idea for us.. are we not even prepared to pay their wages.. is that too much?

    A lot of things are against Burnley getting players to come to Turf Moor

    1) Our style of play is negative 95% of the time which when all is said and done is pathetically dire

    2) Dyche is too loyal to certain players

    3) Dyche is nearly always looking for that Dyche style player (whatever that means)

    4) He would rather have a PL player than someone from a lower league or a foreigner

    5) Dyche certainly has NO plan B, and is too slow to try to change a game which is obvious to all

    6) Our wage structure is not big enough for some greedy players (especially our relegation clause (which I agree with) )

    7) ALK are potless

    We brought in Collins for £12 Million which on paper looked brilliant at the time, but when you factor in players who have been let go and sold (Gibson for one) that is what has paid for Collins NOT ALK.

    We are looking at Cornet, how do you think we are going to pay for him ?

    O.K. if it happens it will be in 5 yearly installments, but someone has to pay for that.

    And that someone will either be McNeil, Tarky or Pope.

    I cannot see the latter 2 going this window, but for me McNeil is vastly over rated IMO and I can see him leaving

    Aaron Lennon being re signed on a year deal said it all for me, as its 2 steps backwards for a so called Premier League Club.

    Something has to change Sub, I have been saying along with others for the last 3 years that we needed decent players, not your Walters who are past it or your Wells who don't get a look in, but it never happened (only Wood off the top of my head).

    The squad now is not growing old, it is old because it has not been replenished properly, there is no pace, there is no flair and with the lack of components at Dyche's disposal he is between a rock and a hard place.

    You seem to be nonchalant about McNeil, Tarky and Pope, many will be and have been after Pope being as good as he is, Tarky is off next year for free if he does not move before, and McNeil to some may be our star player but he is ordinary, Elliott who played for Liverpool is a lot younger and has more positives about him, but I do value your input Sub as if all folk felt the same it would be boring.

    As for object achieved with Garlick, we was going nowhere with him as with him putting money into the team, plus the rift he obviously had with Dyche, and having over £50 Million in the BFC accounts which eventually went into Garlicks back pocket should give you a clue about his true intentions.

    So the Devil we knew sold out to the Devil we didnt, but at that time something had to change, which is not the fans fault for wanting something better.

    "Exciting era" I don't think so, I believe we are in deep do do, that's why I posted my thoughts above, where else is the money going to come from to build an ageing squad ? from ALK's vision ? from our poor home grown ****agers ? I very much doubt it Sub, as Sinkov keeps stating corectly its one big black hole.

    Don't forget if Garlicks money is not recieved he steps back into the Chairmans role and we are back to square one, with posibly a very large service bill waiting for him and the so called Club he supports.
