Frankie 8,652 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 There is next to no difference for us what position we end up in regards europe , mainly down to our lowly coeficient points , it will hardly make any difference . Another small point re Barton and how rubbish he was , he was man of the match v Chelsea in only his second outing back for Burnley I did say the Barton signing failed because of his personality as opposed to actual performance. We don't know what happened but I think Barton will feel he was proven correct. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 In terms of numbers, it slightly depends on who the the five or six players are. Could players like Halliday, Holt, Wilson, Waghorn, Tav, WIndass etc not be useful players if they have some genuine class and experience alongside them? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could players like Halliday, Holt, Wilson, Waghorn, Tav, WIndass etc not be useful players if they have some genuine class and experience alongside them? I think there's two arguments here. We give up on the vast majority (including those you mention) and start from scratch or we go down the route of the summer and try to bring in three or four 'big' signings to get the best out of those we know can play well. The latter sounds the best route but we tried that to a (smaller) extent in the summer and, for one reason, or another it didn't work. It's a tricky conundrum but I'd do it again but be a bit cleverer about who we bring in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 As I was telling Warburton for the last 18 months, we need to start at the back, and in my opinion we will need a whole new back line. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree but our goals for column is laughable as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think we have to aim high and with the right manager (and signings) could do it. The problem here is that we wont be able to sign anyone before we could possibly be beaten in the early rounds as they start in June and the window doesn't open till July 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 " Yes we are stuck with the present squad who don't look as if they could beat the minnows from "Somewherestan" at the moment I actually think the current squad have a good level of skill....it's just that MW wasn't getting the most out of them on a consistent basis. They have shown, on occasion, that they can play really well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't disagree but our goals for column is laughable as well. It is, so probably the first and most important decision apart from Manager is new investment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
