Burnley are a great side, they're everything we should have tried to be, scrapping and surviving. They're basically now an established premier league side.

Established is pushing it a bit - only 2nd season and one of about 8 clubs who could easily go down this year.

I think Burnley are fcuked. Chris Wood is not a premier league striker.

Huddersfield 4/6
Brighton 5/4
Burnley 5/4

Jota spotted in Birmingham

Image

They've signed Harlee Dean already, and now apparently have had a bid accepted for Maxime Colin, so they are now basically Brentford North

On a side note, Jota is going to be miserable in deepest darkest Birmingham. Guarantee he'll be shit for them.

Hull can't seem to string 3 passes together. Been shaking my head most of this half

Hull are going to be a weird one this year I reckon

Signed a lot of players but the managerial choice was a left field one

Obviously found a team where he fits in well to the squad and system and is happy.

Talent was never a problem. He's just weak mentally if things don't go well and that causes his game to fall apart in his desperation to perform.

And it does help if you don't have a dispirited squad playing clueless football around you.

We seem to be forgetting he was dire in his first season at Derby. He just clearly needs time at any given club. I wouldn't have said no if we had gone in for him permanently tbh.
