Django_Zooms Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Difficult to envy anyone who has to persuade the knuckle-draggers of Burnley that fries with mayonnaise beat chips with ketchup, as in De Bruyne is more refined than Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't get promoted, well the team has been demolished this summer and will "take time" to rebuild. But he will also have a huge budget by championship standards due to parachute payments + a few players like McNeil who will absolutely tear up the championship.

HKP90 Posted June 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2022 If his tactics are up to snuff, he'll be a cracking manager. By all accounts a great leader, which should translate to man management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Might have been better if they had got rid of Dyche a year ago and got Kompany in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a random assunption about Kompany. More high profile players have struggled on the name alone Keane, Shearer, Gerrard and Lampard for a start Vieira was hardly an amazing success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not have the buying power they once had and used a lot of loans to fill their squad in recent years. Brugge is the dominant team now and Antwerp is throwing money around to catch them. kompany had to work under difficult circumstances, used a lot of youth but still should have done better given the players he had in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 They're just going to sign half the Man. City youth team on loan aren't they? So that was attraction in getting Kompany given they need to lower average age of the squad. Could go either way I think but if they hang onto Connor Roberts, Nathan Collins and Charlie Taylor and get in a decent CB that's a solid defence at least to build from at championship level. Still think they'll be around 8th-9th if they sign a decent striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) On 30/04/2022 at 13:29, useless said: Scott Twine looks an interesting player, 18 goals and 13 assists this season as a 22 year old attacking midfielder, I think there's probably a good chance he will playing at an higher level next season whatever division MK Dons happen to be playing in. Afternoon all, he's just signed for Burnley. Edited June 26, 2022 by useless Thought I'd better change 'Hi useless' to 'Afternoon all', in case it looks like I'm trying to show off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
