It's bonkers more wasted money we already wasted millions on Akpom yet we doing the same again Why would we do that when we could sign a donkey in the back end of an average career for a manager who's gone in a year?

TLF10 4,440 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Can i ask where the sudden love and appreciation for Mendez Gomez has come from on this board? I seen people mention him a fee times in last couple days especially when not being happy at the signing of Michale Smith. Despite fact ones a winger and other is a striker so am not even understanding the comparison Did anyone even know who Mendez Gomes was until @diggerlad07 mentioned we scouted him? And now he suddenly this up and coming talent in everyones eyes that we must sign? Reminds me last summer when this board had a meltdown at the club for losing out to Brentford for Charlie Goode and we all know how well he did for Brentford. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Just seen Hull close to signing Dion Charles from Accrington, he's one of the standout L1 strikers in my opinion would've liked us to have a look Link to post Share on other sites

It's more because this is the route I want the club to go down sign players with potential not 30 year olds who are passed their peak. That is the case with Smith and hoillet 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 @DurhamRedi get that concern but at moment if you look at the possible first 11. We got Dijksteel, Fry, Bola and Tav all under 25. Add to that Lumley and Paddy who are both 26. That is 6 out my first 11 that are 26 or under. In terms of 30 or above we only really have Howson and Morsy. And Hall but I dont think Hall starts if Fry and Paddy are both fit. A bit more experience probably wont do us any harm in terms of grinding out results. Fully respect some posters might not see it that way mind 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Fully respect some posters might not see it that way mind I think our average squad age is around 25/26, so its not like we're full of oldies.

Youngy228 1,444 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I think Warnock made a big mistake by talking to the press saying he wants 8/9 signings and 3 strikers and by the beginning of pre season. Shows our desperation and therefore will likely make clubs/agents try to increase prices. Also when it doesn't happen it causes fans to talk more negatively. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I think it was 4 or 5 by preseason. It will be interesting to see who turns up for preseason will Archer and NML be there? Link to post Share on other sites
JMC91 280 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Burnley agreed a £12m fee for Stoke's 20 year old centre back Nathan Collins. You'd think that ends their interest in Fry. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think whilst that is almost inevitably true, if they were actually even interested in Fry still, there is little doubt in my mind that we will continue to hear rumours that Burnley are after Fry in some shape or form for the next 100 years. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Dyche will still be there in bionic form as science and tech catches up. Grunting that hes not paying over £8m for Fry whos now just an urn 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Burnley play Spurs in the final game of their Skynet Premier League season. Dyche refuses to give minutes to any of his back up centre backs, starting Ben Mee and Tarkowski together for the 8763rd game in a row. 2 9 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Footballer Insider linking us to Sammy Ameobi… it’s officially 2013 again. Just nowhere near a good enough signing if you’re wanting to be up there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
