What’s our likelihood of dipping into the premier league loan market again this season? Common theme of the top 6 was good premier league loanees, Colwill, Gibbs-White, Garner etc
Good stuff, part of what excites me so much about this window is that we may yet end up with 5+ more players joining we’ve not yet even been linked with. Doesn’t feel right having business done this early
Always thought domestic ones will be extra tough for us though. I thought Tyler Roberts would be a decent signing but I doubt we've got a cat in hell's chance as there's going to be loads of competition and we don't look like a particularly appealing club off last year's finish anyway.
The good thing however I’d say about domestic ones is they care less about the project and more about playing consistently. Usually for their first season in senior football anyway, like Harry Wilson joining us
That's true but when you look at the XI, there's not many open spaces. Any forward that comes in is unlikely to start, whether that be a central or a wide one. Midfield is starting to look a bit stacked. Centre half is a no go as is LB and keeper. RB is the only possible one really and it'll depend how JE is. Clearly there's still plenty of opportunities for minutes with the number of games but the top PL loans are only likely to come if they're going to start.
A winger would be the only position I could see us exploring as it stands, Ebiowei is a special talent, Rak-Sayki too can play anywhere across the front. Lewis Dobbin, Morgan Rogers who you’ve suggested before. All good options who I think would get regular football with us
I think if Seri and/or Muriqi sign then we'll start to be taken more seriously by other targets. It's clear that outside of Hull we're still seen as likely bottom half fodder currently, but hopefully with some more confirmed, high quality signings that will change.
I'd like 2 wingers assuming KLP goes. It's a long season so there's clearly substantial minutes available. Pelkas keeps coming up so I think he'll probably be brought in if possible too. If Muriqi isn't coming out of the KLP money, I do wonder where we'll spend it. Maybe on the 2nd striker instead of going for a PL loan as Baz and others have touted. Obviously, some will go on the replacement itself too. But there's not loads and loads we desperately need so I'm intrigued to see what will happen I still think they'll go into full blown crazy squad rebuild, once the main pieces are in the building
Which of Ramsdale, Pope and Pickford do you think he’ll be able to dislodge? Only one I can see is Pope due to distribution but he’s a far safer pair of hands than Henderson.
Pope’s distribution is actually quite underrated, it’s only because of the nature of Burnley’s tactics why he seemingly can’t play out. Not his best attribute obviously but he’s the best shot stopper
I would just like to point out that no official sources have confirmed anything at all has changed about seri. Neither muraqi. And haji wright has gone quiet too. this is all being based on Twitter rumours
