    Widely reported that Burnley have to pay back 58 million on the loan taken out for their takeover if they went down. Another dubious owner let in?

    Look back at the time under Cellino. Nobody had a good word to say about him. I attended home and away even under Bates but I refused to put a penny in to the club under Cellino. Its no coincidence all our valuable assets were sold on the cheap for a quick buck.

    There's a common denominator throughout.

    Actually, I don’t think we’ll play that formation. I’ll credit JM with the fact that he will change tactics and I think he might have realised that set up doesn’t work in the premier league. See scum.

    It's reportedly between 58 million and 85 million to be paid immediately. That's after they have been paying 8.5% interest on it all season. It's the reason they sold Chris Wood. To service the debt.

    Most of the players are out of contract. The others have to be sold to raise funds. Burnley are ****ed.

    As the summer goes on, they will have to drop the prices if they can't get money in.

    If we got him for around £12m I’d say a bargain

    Given how he left, he probably doesn’t want to come back

    He's always said it was the biggest regret of his career.

    Charlie’s a nice lad by all accounts. Guilty of listening to his agent really. You can also say that in a dead rubber, that monk was a cnut for asking him to play.

    Still… no debating that it doesn’t sit well, we were his employer and had every right to use him.

    If Barca can't afford Raph then it looks like PSG might get him as they've now entered the race

    Tbh I think he'd get more out of PSG than Barca. With Naymar being sold this summer it will be him walking in to that stating 11 for a few years compared to being sold to somebody to fun the next hot prospect.

    Are these rumours or signings you’d like to see?

    I've heard the Collins one. Think we are good for centre backs. He's only 21 but young Cresswell is as good imo.

    O'Brien is lazy journalism. Plays the same position as Aaronson.

    We've been interested in Brennan Johnson at Forest for a while and he is a superstar in the making. He might even push for a world Cup place. He is Forest through and through so we've no chance if they win today. If they lose they will have to sell him. He might even be an upgrade on Raphinha at this point. Don't know how much truth is in the rumours. I reckon it would take 30 million to prise him away.

    Today we see James Garner V Lewis O’Brian. The Man Utd kid is someone Marsch likes a lot. Djed Spence another Forest starlet too

    I've just scanned through as I was sure someone had already posted the Tom Lawrence from Derby rumour but I can't find it.

    He is 28 and leaving on a free transfer, I would say yes to that because he will give us a bit of depth without costing us much. We can't expect to sign 6-7 players over £25m we are going to need some freebies

    I'd break our transfer record for Brennan Johnson.

    Just what we need. A non scoring striker. Not for me.
