Tarkowski

[The Bedlington Terrier]

How do you know we don't need the money? They only tell you what they want you to know!

You lot forget I have a good source of what's really going on inside Turf Moor Supersub6. The word is Garlick is scared sh-itless of running out of money.

Will he sacrifice Tarkowski to keep the ship afloat? You bet your life he will.

We are playing poker at a table where the stakes are high.You have to keep your nerve,we have done well so far,just keep it going and keep calm.

Tarkowski is 2 years older than Ake and has played a similar number of games in the PL, however, he also has made 15 International appearances for Holland agaiinst the 2 that Tarkowski has made foe England. Knowing the way that football finances go, I would imagine that Tarkowski could easily go for less money than was paid for Ake. Very sad.

Ake played for a club that shipped 65 goals and got relegated, Burnley conceded 15 less and finished 10th, of course he could go for less than Aki, but it would take a fairly inept negotiating team that allowed it to happen. Worryingly though, inept is the first word that springs to mind when I think about our transfer dealings.

Come on guys --increase your worrying! Tarks was playing in the friendly against Maritimo this afternoon but Tarks was captain.
McNeil scored from a header when Bardsley crossed. Joey crossed for Wood to glide a header in for the second and Vydra came on as a sub and scored when set up by Wood.

The squad is threadbare Supersub6. Our team for this friendly virtually picked itself. It looks certain to me we will be relying on kids to bolster the squad for the imminent EPL campaign.

Burnley team from yesterday: Pope; Bardsley (Lowton 60), Long, Tarkowski, Taylor (Pieters 60); Gudmundsson, Westwood (Benson 65), Brownhill, McNeil (Brady 65); Rodriguez (Vydra 65), Wood. Substitutes: Peacock-Farrell, Dunne, Thomas, Norris.

Sort of proves my point I think.

BT --15 of the 16 players used yesterday played a part last season, although Joey and Brady did not feature too much because of injury.
Cork, Mee and Barnes will be returning from injury at some time --that makes 18 regulars.
You can only use 14 players in any one game and the team usually picks itself anyway.

Been saying it all summer BT, not many in, not many out, we'll start next season with more or less the same team we finished the last one. Nothing happened yet to even remotely make me think I was wrong.

Of course no Burnley fan wants relegation, not even me really, although I would much rather watch us in the Championship, it would be such a shame to throw away all the hard work of manager, coaches and players to keep us at this level. But if ever a club, or more accurately I should say a Chairman and Board, deserved relegation, it's ours.

Bit harsh there Sinkov.

Bit harsh there Sinkov.

Don't know Barrie, is it really ? Dyche has been virtually pleading with Garlick, and pleading quite publicy, for him to stretch the budget. The manager is ignored, the budget does not get stretched. Garlick thinks he knows better than the best manager we've ever had how to keep us in the PL. Hubris on such a scale deserves to be punished, and usually is.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Hubris is a good word. I like hubris. I'm not fond of it however, when it is used in relation to a football club chairman who thinks he knows the game of football better than the manager he appointed.
