V Chelsea

[army88]

None of the above players improved bar Rodriguez and Maatsen who where kids when they left.
You are grasping at straws with the likes of Bamford, Weghorst, Assignon, Vydra and Amdouni they hardly kicked a ball in anger and have gone on to do nothing playing in farmers leagues.

All of those players improved ballcock Weghorst who I said was wasted here scored on the World Cup Amdouni played the champions league and scored for Bemfica ( but I was constantly told he?s **** here ).

Austin scored lots of goals for QPR -,Ings went to Liverpool and without his injuries would have been amazing - Tripier ( I shouldn?t even have to say anything )

Bamford was one of the biggest mistakes for me he had brilliant balance vision and could beat a man not touching the ball ( he had a good career at top level though )

The others are plying their trade in or have been so must be improving or clubs wouldn?t have bought them when we were relegated

Much as I don?t like to do it I will criticise some players however I always say ( and you can check back ) that to even reach the level of football they?re at you have to be special and have something more than I / you ever had anyway or we?d have been doing it.

As for Outwood?s VK comment I?d say he was one of the best centre backs in the world and had a clear vision of how he wanted to play football - we benefited from that in year 1 but failed when we didn?t have the players to deliver his vision at the highest level.

Once again he was **** on here , but one of the biggest clubs in world football thought he could apply his ideas with better players took a chance - the best is history as they say ( we also got 10 million file our troubles ).

It?s just opinions of course football - the problem we have at Burnley is getting players that can do what we?ll want fit a third of the money elsewhere- the premier league has improved and is still improving year on year - competing is a problem.

My thing is it hasn?t changed in all the 50 years or so I?ve watched from a kid - we find gems but eventually the bigger clubs take them - but I always think those who are with us are here for a reason if our forward scored 15 goals at this level a team would take him because that?s how it is.
