Not a chance you’d even get a sniff of Stansfield for £6m. He’s 21, English, plays for a Prem team under contract and has already had a cracking season in the championship. He’s £10m+ and I think people are under estimating what these clubs pay to their academy prospects / what sort of wage they could achieve from other (none-Rovers) clubs.

😂 and I have a bridge to sell you

Buckley looking good with a 3 man midfield. Better option than JRC in recent times. Great cross from Brittain - after I keyboard warriored him!

All I’m getting from Eustace ball tactics is: 1) Defender takes the GK and passes to Pears and we give it back to the opposition within 2 passes 2) 2 players to take a corner and still output a shite delivery. It’s going to be a loooooong season

We don’t have anyone like Sargeant now Sammie has left unfortunately. Can anyone name one player for us who has elite pace / energy / physical qualities? Soft underbelly with no pace anywhere in the team, recipe for relegation in this league….especially when you consider we look to have no tactics

Lewis Travis like a non-league player for that goal. Useless, soft clown who should not be our captain

Brittain has no redeeming qualities. He’s certainly not a good defender, he’s so slow, regularly makes poor decisions, soft in the tackle and isn’t exactly a set-piece specialist. 2nd most important spot to sign after GK obviously

Team full of midgets now. It’s got Shane Duffy winning header written all over it

This is the shit Burnley are up against. Their two opening games are as easy as it’ll get for them this year.

Leeds should get their act together looking at the squad. But you never know. This is the season PNE return to League 1 anyway. We might then get the lad Whiteman for Merce 😄

He is pathetic.

Pears is still shit Travis is still a clown Big Mak looks twice the player of Gallagher Set piece delivery has been poor, when we’ve actually delivered rather than time waste

Hedges is a very good Championship play, just a question of fitness. Keeping his left peg fit for a season would be massive. Chip as well, the demons of PNE away!

Barry Ferguson? EDIT: Christ I completely forgot about who you obviously meant!!! 😂

Tronstad for me. Carter is probably worth the most though. A good, injury free season for him and he’ll be the next (and final) asset to leave

Agree, getting relegated with Luton (1st season in the top flight) and Sheffield United (with a 2 point deduction and transfer ban) means Burnley should really clean up in the top 2, alongside Leeds. Especially given what they've spent and looking at their bench. Hopefully someone pips them to it, but can't see them falling out the top 6 regardless.

Whilst I believe this is an over-pay (it will be a record transfer fee for Celtic and he's hardly the second coming of Henrik Larsson)...He is only 23 and scored 8 in 15 last season in the league for them (which to me just highlights how awful that league is). I'd be amazed if they make a profit on him regardless of age, but he might win them a few tin pot trophies that nobody bar Glaswegians and weird angry religious people care about.

Pink kit seems to be a popular choice (either that or it just stands out more in the crowd than previous away kits)

I agree completely re Pears but we still need to get more out of Hyam in particular. He’s so weak in this area. See the first goal below. He has good positioning to attack the ball away, gets a jump and looks favourite for the ball then turns his head for some reason. Not physically strong enough maybe. edit: on the next replay it looks like he misjudged the flight as it goes over him to the derby player behind. Also not good considering he can view that attacking it from inside his 6 yard box

Surely we’re not giving out a bottle of Vodka as the MOTM price 😂

Whatever about Pears and the fact we’re conceding continuously to balls in the box. Questions have to be asked about Hyam and Carter in how they dominate our 18 yard box. We need at least one of them to step up in that area (it won’t be Hyam).

There’s a difference between Szmodics being happy a day after winning golden boot and the season finishing versus 6 weeks later with a Prem team (and a hefty salary hike), having bids rejected. Can’t see him kicking up a stink, but you’re in denial if you think he’s happy with that.

Of course it’s not true. We’re certainly not “cooking”. The place is an absolute shambles.

Who do you dislike more, Jerry Jones or Venkys? 😂
