I was told about his new deal yesterday/day before and they said he would be made captain. So we can hope! So if Allen signs on he won’t be captain? That's the assumption isn't it but I mean I don't know the ins and outs and the person that told me won't. So in reality I have no idea but that's what they said and they did mention the deal so that's cool. But who knows what the permutations are?

I've never really watched him tbh. I think we need 2 strikers anyway don't we? Probably depends on if we're going to play a back 4. if so, we definitely need someone who can play up on his own, down the middle. I can't see MON thinking Brown can do that regularly. Although, in a front 3, Campbell and Brown can't both play on the right, so who knows? Could Brown play on the left? In a front 2, I think either Brown/Campbell need someone to play off, and an Archer-type would probably be another who couldn't play with either of the other 2 in a partnership. Campbell played some of his best stuff on the left, just before his injury. I don't think he sees himself as a left winger though and his ego always seems a bit bruised when he's put out on the wing.

So so. Let's hope Joe stays to make Baker look better than he really is. 'Tin hat' etc!

“What they’re aspiring to do lines up with what I want to be doing” - well I think that puts to bed the moronic view shared by a minority on here that the club doesn’t want to be promoted and is happy with mid table. Unless, of course, Lewis has aspirations to plod around 10th - 15th every season. Which I doubt.

Really pleased with this signing.
I think he and Souutar are the only players in the squad who are genuinely promotion standard.

He'll be worth a great deal more, but we'll sell him for £10M in the winter window. Burnley will sign him.

Would be strange if he hadn't been promised funds. But if not them, another club will realise Baker's immense potential and will beat themselves up over not signing him on a relatice free. They'll sign him on our cut prise and sell him on with a huge profit a year from now.

He was poor on the left wing because couldn’t execute the two basic function: 1. Get to the by-line and put in a cross and 2. Cut to his right shoot (he’s strongly left footed. He’s striker who can also play on the right and cut to his left and shoot. MON played Brown on the right, Maja in the middle and brought Campbell as a sub on the left - it didn’t work. Brown was less effective, Campbell was poor and Maja was mostly dreadful.

Fair comment, anyone playing next to Allen will look a world beater tbf Allen played much better alongside Baker. They can build a team around those two with Souttar in the back and Powell (when he’s fit) up front alongside Brown.

Burnley have money issues They have a new manager. Would be strange if he hadn't been promised funds. But if not them, another club will realise Baker's immense potential and will beat themselves up over not signing him on a relatice free. They'll sign him on our cut prise and sell him on with a huge profit a year from now. Kompany hasn't impressed with Anderlecht he's lucky to get a Championship job. Burnley have a £60m bill this summer and if they don't go up have another £60m next summer Mee and Tarkovski leaving on free transfers They badly need top dollar for Collins What presumably they will get is Man City youngsters on loan however Doyle and Mcatee lined up for Huddersfield already, Delap for Southampton Could be very challenging season for Burnley As for Baker we will see but not seen any noise te clubs interested in him atm, think we are OK there this summer at least

I don't think it is even technically, given it represented no jump in our league position and little visible evidence of things turning round anytime soon. Whether they were happy with it or not they certainly thought it was 'acceptable'.

Whether they were happy with it or not they certainly thought it was 'acceptable'. Or maybe after two disastrous short term appointments they want to give the manager the full term of his contract before judging whether we have made progress or not?

Crouchpotato, for one. Look at the Michael O'Neill thread, you'll see a few.
