Market12 Jan 2032

Daniel James has said yes to Preston

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Burnley have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets12 Jan 2032

Ricardo Pepi is a medical away from Burnley

The deal with Fulham is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Match10 Jan 2032

14 unbeaten for Burnley

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Burnley did not have in the autumn.

Market12 Jan 2032

Thiago Pérez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Burnley can pretend not to have heard.

Market12 Jan 2032

Burnley say no — this time

The offer from Harrogate Town for Zak Baker was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match10 Jan 2032

Nobody wins at Burnley

11 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad12 Jan 2032

Words at Burnley training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nobel Mendy is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad12 Jan 2032

A move Luke Bell would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Luke Bell is living that version at Burnley, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom12 Jan 2032

Burnley beat the market to Brendan Galloway from Leeds United

Leeds United will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Brendan Galloway has pre-agreed a move to Burnley, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad1 Jul 2030

Perry Ng breaks a bone — 93 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 93 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad1 Jul 2030

A career in one shirt: Rubin Colwill

12 seasons and 305 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Market1 Jul 2030

Rubin Colwill wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Cardiff City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Boardroom1 Jul 2030

Thiago Pérez has agreed to leave Cardiff City for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Tempers go at Cardiff City

David Turnbull was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Reiss Khela gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Reiss Khela has just signed for Cardiff City, and for once the answer mattered.

Market1 Jul 2030

Cardiff City may not be able to give Ignacio Rodríguez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Ignacio Rodríguez wants continental football; whether Cardiff City can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

The dugout1 Jul 2030

The manager's exit leaves Dilane Bakwa exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Dilane Bakwa is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

The dugout1 Jul 2030

Rubin Colwill knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Cardiff City, and both men came out saying it was fine.
