Transfer targets

No deal for Gonçalo Inácio at that price

Burnley offered $27.1M; Sporting CP said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Youri Baas

Burnley asked and Ajax said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Burnley say no — this time

The offer from Hibernians for Benji Wetshi 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.

Market

Igor has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Burnley can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

Marcus Edwards falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

A bad afternoon for Burnley against Newcastle United

1‑2 to Newcastle United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Bolton Wanderers join the queue for Tommy McDermott

Add another name to the list: Bolton Wanderers have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Tommy McDermott. The answer from Burnley has not changed — yet.

Squad

A falling-out at Burnley

Mike Trésor and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

David Robinson answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
