People band numbers about but I’d be amazed if we’ve paid any sort of add ons for some of these fees recently. Ultimately if there’s ever a situation we end up paying the full fees for Chermiti and Beto they’re probably paying well enough to have improved their value. Net spend going down...

Thankyou, that’s surprisingly big of you.

Nothing to do with Dyche (apparently). The players were obviously good enough because they’ve got 48 points, and the fans forced Dyche to play Branthwaite. Nothing to do with Dyche at all. Also Docuoure defied his instruction not to exit his own half to score that goal that saved us v...

You’re forgetting to include us getting Lingard for 100k a week which we were definitely going to do the other season…before we didn’t.

Well not really. I mean if you’re a club with money you go out and buy a young right back that can develop in value and has pace to play the attacking game you want to play. If you’re a cash strapped basket case with players in defence with no pace who are only good at sitting in then you...

Loads of clubs aren’t in our financial position.

Key member of the 4th best defence in the league.

When have I said he had a disaster season? He’s had a brilliant season. You actually did say though ‘Had Branthwaite made a few mistakes he would have been taken out after a few games, but he didn’t’ - I’m just pointing out that he did make a few mistakes, and Dyche didn’t drop him, therefore...

Branthwaite did make multiple mistakes but I don’t remember him being taken out by Dyche. Weird that. I do remember him getting thrown about like a rag doll by Haaland and diving in way too early on multiple strikers. Dyche continued to back his player though.

it doesn’t matter who knew he was good by when or not when it comes down to the original argument. His critics can’t say he doesn’t play youth over experience and then try and make their agenda make sense by just completely discounting Branthwaite. The argument of ‘he was so good he had to play...

The Dutch league is no way comparable to the PL and he’d played a handful of times under Lampard and made some big errors. Whatever way people spin it, Dyche has numerous options he could have done instead of backing Branthwaite, but he didn’t. Just get over the fact he made the right choice...

Well the original poster said Dyche would ignore a regen Wayne Rooney for a more experienced player, so the example of Branthwaite is proof that he wouldn’t. We all only know Branthwaite is a star because Dyche played him and kept him in, he didn’t have to, would have been extremely easy for him...

He’s started Branthwaite ahead of Keane and Godfrey for the majority of the season. He’s played Garner and Onana over Gueye at times. He’s played McNeil over Danjuma. In all these examples he’s not selected experience.

Every time a sky six club is moaning about a VAR controversy that denied them something correctly, just remember that the ref had given that incorrectly each time and would have stuck with that decision.

Our injuries haven’t felt too bad this season compared to previous years. We’ve had a settled spine with Pickford Tarkowski Branthwaite Onana Garner Gueye DCL for more often than not. It’s only really the Docuoure injury which hampered us. In previous seasons it’s been pastas standing at times...

Nothing wrong with the system, it’s deliberately run into the ground by PGMOL. This is the outcome everyone wanted, a vote on getting rid of VAR. If it passes good luck having any offside ever called against a sky six side ever again. How convenient this is occurring now as soon as the AI...

Where did I say it was sufficient? I said it would be good to have that now. It would be. Those strikers, with the wide players, plus Barkley at 10, are far far better attacking options than the ones we have now. That’s how this started. In an ideal world, sure, I’d prefer Haaland Alvarez Foden...

He’d scored goals for Rangers and was a Croatian international. I don’t know why everything has to be so binary for you, either he’s scored loads of goals everywhere in his career or he’s complete rubbish? He was a decent striker who worked well in the right system and was probably at the level...

We went from servicing him with the sort of deliveries he wanted to instructing him to pull defenders wide so Fellaini could score from the ten position the season after. I’ve still no idea why Moyes did this. The first half season was all about Osman and Pienaar getting pull backs in the area...

Jelavic crap? He scored 11 goals in half a season for us. DCL Beto and Chermiti only have 14 combined together this season. He had some rough patches with us and we didn’t always play to his strengths but he wasn’t crap.
