BigAl Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Is the home ticket spare? I have offered it to someone but they can't commit until begining of the week as needs time off work. If they don't want it then it will be available mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancyclaret Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hi again, everyone - not long to go now and both clubs seem to be struggling to sign up new recruits in time for next Thursday's first leg. What's the latest on the Gleeson injury? Will he make it for next week or the second leg? You should be buoyed by the news that our two most creative and skilful players (Steven Defour & Robbie Brady) are very unlikely to feature in either match. Both are coming back after long-term injury and Dyche has said the pair will not be risked. It means we will probably have a very functional but unexciting central midfield pairing of Jack Cork and Ashley Westwood. Hard-working but not many (if any) defence-splitting passes from that pair. The next few days could be interesting for both clubs (in terms of new players). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest none of us actually know the position regarding Gleeson as the club have not passed comment, but we are putting two and two together and thinking it isn't good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabye, both clubs in same predicament mate, but there is a difference £££££, whereas you can go out & splash out millions & 20k a week , we are offering tops £200k & 3k a week, huge difference.

lancyclaret Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Burnley played two behind-closed-doors friendly matches yesterday. Two different XIs at home to League One (third level) opponents. Lost 2-0 to Blackpool; and lost 1-0 to Shrewsbury. Hardly encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be funny if Burnley were to buy him and provide Swansea with the funds to sign McKenna from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancyclaret Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Burnley are short at CH....if McKenna has two good Europa games, Dyche might try to sign him up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlg1903 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Even more brutal draw than the first. It's hard to see us progressing this year even if we do get past Burnley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancyclaret Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 After that draw, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise whoever loses our tie. I don't think Dyche will fancy a trip to Turkey just 3 days before the first PL game at Southampton. The Turks have some star names in their squad (Adebayor, Clichy etc) but many of them are at the veteran stage and certainly won't match Burnley in terms of fitness. Obviously, I'd like to make the group stages, but UEFA seem to be making it hard as possible for both Aberdeen & Burnley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunty Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Worth noting that the Turkish season doesn't start until 10 August, and this will be their first competitive games of the season. They're tough, they'll be favourites, but it's doable. Some effort if we reach the play-off round having knocked out the 7th best team in England and 3rd best in Turkey. That's when we'll finally get lucky in the draw and lose the tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not that good, and we're getting them in the middle of pre-season (they started later than us which they'll pay for on Thursday).

It's summer, there's European fitba at Pittodrie in three days, and surely a Scottish nationalist like yourself should be chomping at the bit to put an English team on their arse.
