Obviously been given 25 pounds to spend.

Sounds like an uphill task - finding five football players who can write their own name!

Going to be difficult to find five players that actaully want to play for Burnley dont think anyone is really that desperate to play football

Staying down forever hahaha

Accrington stanley have released 12 players so burnley might get some of them if they want to stay in the area and dont mind playing a lower standard of football.

So funny and so original. Have you ever considered applying for "CYPRUS HAS GOT TALENT".
Of course not, because it is sadly lacking judging by these babyish drivel.

This Coyle guy is a duffer and taking the club down. Two of the players he will be signing will require a fee, one million a piece i hope, No not a chance on that front. Over two and a half million brought in from the sale of Gray and Thomas, as well as the probability of a tidy sum for Cofie, yet nothing spent in the January transfer window, awaiting the summer spending spree. Well the spree is about to start he is after 5 players. You could add five quality players like lampard, Scholes, Terry, Hleb and Owen to this current bunch and they would struggle to make it to the top half of the table. Free transfer left overs from scotland that have been rejected by Sturrock and Irvine who will get the best bunch. How can a club progress with such little speculation and investment on new talent. Does Coyle expect to turn this bunch of no hopers into world beaters during the off season, Akinbyi is coming back as Drogba?. Caldwell as ferdinand?, I think not.
This is without doubt the slowest, predictable Burnley sqaud there has been for over 15 years. Elliott signed a new deal, big deal, one goal a season and 10 decent games, he's a real star. Can you believe this fella also wants to keep Harley, spends more time on his backside than off it, and the club were ready to ditch O'Connor before Coyle arrived.
How many fans do they expect to attract, gates are down 50 per cent from Ternent's days. To be getting only 10-11,000 through the turnstiles (which includes thousands of free tickets this season) must tell kilby and flood the picture that the fans are **** off, yet they come out with the same predictable drivvle in order to boost season ticket sales. Another season of crap football passes with scraped wins and poor performances. Saturdays are for mowing the lawn from now on.

Most of the squad are ready to be "put out to grass" so no harm in you joining them!!
Why all the surprise over lack of transfer activity?
I was predicting on this site over 6 weeks ago that there was no "war chest" exceeding £1.5 to £2 million unless Lafferty was sold.
Are you going for stripes or just a straight cut?

Cyprus has got talent,you should see it all on the beach.
Talent is not a word often used in an article about burnley.

How can any genuine and realitic Burnley fan NOT be negative, given the rubbish that the board, the manager and even the players are now feeding to us?

On a positive note - Coyle has identified that the squad needs AT LEAST FIVE new signings.

On a more negative note - how will this be funded?

This is going to be a vital season for Burnley football club. The problem is that if Coyle spends the budget over the summer, and then gets fired, which most of you are predicting, then the new manager will not have any funds for new signings!

Again, the term TIGHT LIPPED is being used. This will be a common phrase over the summer - the board will not reveal how much we have to speand due to the fear of clubs inflating the prices for their players, and as they will not want their targets being approached by other clubs - this latter point I can understand!

Come on Brendan and Barry - lets be straight with the fans and try and get a few more back on-side and through the turnstiles!

I know I aint going on the Turf next season unless I see some investment. I know this sounds sad, but I may as well stay at home and watch Soccer Saturday and save my £20, rather than watch what I had to put up with last Season! Its my money, and i'll spend it how I please, and unfortunately, Burnley FC isn't a very attractive proposition at this stage!

So far OC has been unsuccessful to lure new players in the inter-season , If he really wants to see a successful face of Burnley ,he has to have recourse to new players .recruiting five or six players for next season is most welcome .He has to get rid of some non-performing players who because of old age or injuries sustained have become dull actors on the pitch .

4 or five new players, just got rid of that many, 4 or 5 would just be standing still and who the hell is going to come to the Turf scot numpties and over the hill has beens

For goodness sake, Owen Coyle's only been here 5-6 months or so. Give him the summer and he will recruit some decent players.

The money we are spending on the ground can not be taken out for players. Banks will give money for buildings but not for players; so the £30m we are investing on Turf Moor will be great. Hopefully the board will give Coyle £1.5m to spend, but lets wait and see. Wear that shirt in pride Burnley fans and lets not get to disheartened. We are the MIGHTY CLARETS!

Well said Paul, people need to get in the real world. we are a small town club that unless some fat pie eating ironmonger leaves us a fortune we will have to carry on doing the best our board allows. We(Burnley fc) were not a million miles away from challenging for the premiership and i don't see a runnaway champion next season.

ANY1 FOR A BET????I BET 50 QUID HE DOESNT RECRUIT 5 NEW FACES!!IN FACT,WEL BE LUCKY IF WE GET 3,,,,,ANY1????

been waiting for burnley fans the best players and best supported team in europe are not linked with ronaldinho ,henry, lampard,owen,and drogba

Apparently a coachload of Utd players were seen heading east towards Burnley on the M56 three weeks ago. They'd missed the turn off for Ewood.

i cant believe that the sad b**stards above are showing any interest at all about burnley.
surley they must be more interested in their own team, wouldn't you think? perhaps not.
perhaps they're more interested in burnley!
seems strange to me but there you go. maybe they are really closet burnley fans. you can never tell what lights peoples candles! perhaps their interest means loyalty to burnley or disloyalty to the brillient achievements of their own team.
i personally have no interest what-so-ever in anyone else apart from the team i support, and i certainly wouldn't waste my time and effort looking at our arch rivals news letters just to slate them.
why dont you all f**k off and read about the dross being written about your beloved b**stards.
