Leon Cort
Hayden Mullins
Nicky Weaver
Danny Fox
What the hell are they doing?!

Preparing for next season in the Fizzy pop league.
Laws out of his depth?

They have to look like they're trying to stay up by spending a bit of money - but at the same time retain a fairly good amount of money whether its for another push on the prem or to keep the club solvent.
Signing Leon Cort for 1.5m on 10 - 15k a week is much better for Burnley than say making a signing of a player like Ab Faye for 2m and on 30k if not more a week.

To be honest Knowlsey, i haven't got a clue who Danny Fox is and am not embarrassed to say it.
And yes, point taken, "CCC - here we (they) come".

Fox is a left back at Celtic who used to play for Coventry and Walsall. Hardly going to push them forward is he?!

I cant blame them and I'll doff my cap if they manage to stay up on the budget they have.

They are going down the tried and tested route, used by West brom and other teams in the past, of spending little and accepting the risk of relegation knowing that their financial position will be better if they can get promoted again before the parachute payments run out.

Fox is a decent prospect but as for 'a total danger in both boxes' signing Leon Cort. Arf, snigger etc.
You could lose him in a phone box.

True Forney: but, to be fair, i think the appointment of Laws told us that anyway didn't it?
The list of players being assembled confirms it.

None of them played much of a part in us regaining our prem status (and then some!) did they? And i reckon they'll be expected to if Burnley are to do the same. We bought in a handful of quality players in both windows. This time last year we signed Beattie, Etherington, Camara and Kelly - granted the last two didn't pay off but they were all experienced prem players. Burnley havn't bought any quality players, except maybe Fletcher, but even that was a gamble! The players that are on knowles' list are alot worse than the ones we signed in Jan. |
