It's 'So-long and thanks for your efforts' to a bang average championship player from me. Time will tell but IMO Burnley have just assembled one of the weakest strike forces in this division. As you say it's all about opinion - Burnley now have Chris Wood, Nahki Wells, Sam Vokes, Ashley Barnes and Johnathan Walters as their main FIVE out and out experienced proven strikers. We have Mounie and DePoitre, and for whatever reason DePoitre has not set the club on fire since his arrival. If Mounie is injured we have Kachunga (not a one up front striker throughout his career) Quaner (at times he does struggle to control a football) and the likes of Lolley.
Chris Wood alone has scored more than all our strikers put together - it's putting a hell of a lot of responsibility on Ince and Palmer to suddenly start scoring in the Premiership. All about opinion, and I totally accept that Wagner knows a hundred times more than I will ever know about football management and has worked absolute miracles, but I think it's fair to express a bit of concern about our lack of finishing ability. Statistically it's weaker than last season, and we're now in the Premiership. Chris Wood has scored 88 goals in 268 appearances Laurent Depoitre has scored 98 goals in 270 appearances. You might want to do some basic research before spouting off  |

Nahki, nahki free. Nahki, nahki free.
You cost us fuck all, you cost us fuck all.
Thanks for the goals Mr Wells. Anyone got any other chants for when we play Burnley.

Statistically it's weaker than last season, and we're now in the Premiership. I agree with you apart from the bit in bold. Nahki might've scored more in his career than Mounie, but Mounie's scored more top flight goals than Wells in both France and England and I'd be very surprised if Wells ever catches him up. Also Depoitre has scored more top flight goals in his career in Belgium than Wells probably ever will in England. |

If it's Burnley away it'll be nothing, because he'll still be out injured. Against Burnley at home, I'll applaud when his name is announced for the service he gave us.. |

Statistically it's weaker than last season, and we're now in the Premiership.Absolutely spot on, DW is a maestro and is able to do his thing with the players. Statistically though it is difficult to draw comparisons since we, at the moment, are not comparing like with like, i.e. the Championship to the Premier League. There is a school of thought that the pressing will be easier for us in the PL. Time will only tell |

He was offered a contract in the league he always dreamed of playing in. He turned it down, newly promoted, maybe the best manger around. More interested in money, not like the money is bad anyway. It's the way you go about things, Clayton will always get a clap from me. Butterfield no. |

Nice of him to describe it as a step up. Bold considering he's probably 4th choice at best. |

Loyalty should be applauded. This guy showed none. Bit like an ex- girlfriend who shagged your best mate. I'm guessing you'd still call her your girlfriend? where I'd say ex. |

Whilst understanding your point, I would say that it isn't a pressing problem for us because we still have a loan option left (and I think that doesn't include overseas loans, but I'm not sure?). We are only ever going to play with one central striker so we have reasonable depth ( for us, maybe not for Man ity) in Mounie -clear 1st choice Depoitre Kachunga Quaner I can see us take a little bit of time to to see what options might be available over the loan market in the next few weeks. There will be some big transfers today which will sideline some previous starters who then might be available for loan. Good point Is wagner keeping the 1 remaining prem lg loan available to us in reserve to cover any injuries that may occur?? Even though we can't loan anyone after 11pm tonight until January ? |

Both the club and Wells have improved since he's been with us and this move is probably best for both. He gets to play premier league football as do we and he's moved to a team where he'll be in a system that more suits him. He would most likely have only been a bit part player for us this season and left on a free next summer.
I'll be clapping him if he gets onto the field in the return game (assuming he isn't fit enough for the first) and not really sure why anyone wouldn't.
