ANDY Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 If Burnley get relegated they may need to trim their wage bill. Selling their current keeper and having BPF ready to go straight in with a full season between the sticks behind him. would make sense for Burnley. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He did ok for us - improved as the season progressed but not irreplaceable. Dawson will be back full of confidence, Wildsmith needs to leave and bring in another keeper to challenge Dawson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachyderm Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Nature of the beast but I do like him and wish w could find a way to keep him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Likely playing for Burnley in the championship next season? If this was FIFA (or just EA Football as it's soon to be) I'd be buying him though (or more likely cheat and start career mode with a customised squad ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbupperthongowl Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think Burnley are spoilt for choice in the goalkeeping department......it will all depend on whether they stay up, if they don't who will they get offers for? Fully expect BPF to be their no.2 if they are relegated, if they don't they will try and sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He’s done pretty well overall but I wouldn’t be putting him top of the list . Rather us look elsewhere. Someone a bit more reassuring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Good luck to him, We tend to have high standards for our Keepers from Bolder to Westwood the vast majority of our Keepers have been very top level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may ask Burnley if he’s available for loan again next season but lots of things to sort before that discussion will take place, not least Burnley’s divisional status. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I have been attending Hillsborough and a good few other grounds since 1957. I haven't seen many keepers that don't have an extensive catalogue of super saves that they have kept in their lockers over the years. So too the clean sheets but these are just as much a product of the defence that offers protection to the keepers. So what do we look for in a Keeper ? Sound subjective positional sense. An increasing degree of footwork given the back passes and playing out philosophy. A big shout out capable of organising his back line in conjunction with the defensive organiser. Finally, a keeper strong enough to physically cope with all the buffeting and roughing that we see from in coming set pieces. These attributes, rather than super saves, are what will reduce our goals conceded column. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MallorcaOwl Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 We couldn't afford to buy him anyway. We couldn't afford any keeper of his stature. It will be a case of finding a young keeper from a prem club on loan, or maybe Dawson if he merits it following his loan period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely, couldn’t agree more. The problem is that, in the modern game, the goalkeeper is virtually expected to be able to play almost as a sweeper rather than someone whose sole task is to stop the ball going into the net. Always used to get edgy when one of our defenders passed the ball back to BPF, especially if there was an on rushing attacker bearing down on him at speed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSandersonOWL Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Best keeper since WWII was Ron Springett. Just saying like. Amazing arrangement that he continued to train with QPR. Do not think clubs would allow that these days. And he was swapped with his brother much too soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
