Clarets v Mainz - Burnley line up...

[Tap in MN]

I wish I could share your optimism Sinkov but I am inclined to agree with BT. A team without significant all round pace is lost in the EPL.
We have so many slow joes who can no longer cut the mustard, Tella or an equivalent should have been our number one priority purchase.
But let's hope you're right.

My point Tap is that, while agreeing that our recruitment seems to be all over the place this summer, we only have to be better than Sheffield United, Luton and one other PL team. West Ham seem to be imploding, Bournemouth are nothing special, Everton are a mess, Wolves and Forest have serious financial problems, this is the PL we are in, we're not competing against the likes of City and Arsenal, and I have no doubt there will be at least three teams below us come the end of the season.

Probably.
