Looks like I will be back to watching streams next year.

At least we'll have the VAR monkey off our backs, it's worth a relegation for that alone.

I am still searching through our ranks for the £100m player that would emerge this season according to VK in September last year.I dont see any £20m players never mind £100m.

Come on CIB be fair to the man - patience is a virtue is a statement that springs to mind.

At present football is like the modern generation it has to be know , success now , superstar players now , spending millions now — it’s just how life is I’m afraid.

For me football is changing so rapidly that a 35-50 million fee is an everyday figure now with bigger clubs so an exceptional 100 million player draws ever closer as a regular occurrence.

We have bought what I’d call potential in most cases so like it’s always been football is a gamble ( the stakes and values are higher ) but the same end results.

As for the players I’d be reluctant to estimate a 100 million as how longs a piece of string and to be fair to VK and Burnley a player may leave us for 60 million and get sold on again for 100million and he’d still be right as he’d be the value he predicted.

As above names are difficult but potential for profit is good across our players

Trafford
Koleosho Higher
Odebert
Foster
Amdouni

Beyer
O Shea Lower
Dakhil

It’s un written really isn’t it as any player can be worth any amount to a team.

I’ve posted before de bruyne and salah were at Chelsea - they had the Premiership s richest spoils and didn’t know it or chose not exploit / use it, now they’re both household names and up at the 100s miliiion figures - so who knows what happens in 5 seasons for example in a players career and how the money to buy them will escalate.

For me I can see progress in Burnley on the pitch and it is improving ( it maybe too late this time - who knows ) but we’ll learn from it and be stronger ( VK will develop players and we’ll become a decent outfit - if the club/ owners / fans stick with him long enough)

No one likes relegation and if you asked VK I bet he’d say we got some things wrong ( we all do that from time to time ) but he’s a winner and I’m sure he’ll have us back if we fail this time around.

I think he had Foster in mind when he said that, his potential is enormous and Vinni has an enormous amount of faith in him. It won't happen this season because of his health issues, but if he could get a run of games, if he could score some goals and if he could grow his confidence, he could be something special. But it's that two letter word innit.........if.
