Seems there’s a decent chance Burn will remain for the rest of the season.
When the window opens we need to get a new proper left back and we clearly aren't looking to split up Dunkley and Kipre unless there is an injury so Burn doesn't really fit in the starting 11 despite his quality. If he goes in January hopefully it shouldn't be as big a loss as it would've felt in the summer.
I wouldn’t hold your breath on the money brick! - unless it’s from player sales
Also have a sense we will be looking uncomfortably over the showder last few games ?
So why not do a blackburn with Dack sign him on a new long term contract with a massive weekly wage (only payable for a few weeks) to be netted off against the much higher transfer fee then due when we sell in Jan ?Even assuming Powell wants to go and equally some one wants him, he’ll be in the last 6 months of his contract, so he won’t raise much in the way of transfer funds.
The Honk Kong owners didn’t appear to be shouting about spending a great deal either , unless they were deliberately trying to dampen down other clubs price expectations ?
Joyce made the 1 point mistake!We will be in a relegation battle at the end of the season, and for the majority of us if the truth is known it is what we expected. We all hope for better things but one must face the fact that this is one of the most competitive leagues around, it is not called the league of sharks because pundits think it a fancy name. I just hope that we do survive to build on this season, and go on to better things, and let us not forget that cooky as not managed at this level, and unless he faces up to the fact that a win is 3 points and a draw 1 he will fail.

Well that’s one way it could go, but it relies on Powell ....if he signs a long term deal with a clear eye on a Jan move, then he’s just undermined his position....because his price has just shot up dramatically and he might price himself out of a move, or Latics might snub what they see as too low an offer and he’s stuck here.
Him signing a new long term contract suits us, but not necessarily him.
Bollocks, own goal from a goalkeeping error that he could do nothing about, and he gave a penalty away, golden balls Reece James gave a very similar penalty away rececently , I don't remember you bring up an old thread for that.He's having an absolute nightmare at the moment against Wolves.
Wasn't great at LB in L1 never mind the prem.
Traore's ripping him a new one and not surprisingly
