I thought it was shit, but everybody seems to be going mad over it

I thought it was impressive work to garner so many views and comments - someone in Burnley's social media team is getting a decent bonus this year - but I tend to agree with you, I found it perhaps not shit, but nothing amazing.

I suppose in a sense yes, it's impressive to get that reach with something that's not inflamatory in some way. But it's still shit.

Thing is, if we can't get our targets this month, for whatever reason, and then start getting bodies in the door just because, we're back at square one.
You assume that we'll "start getting bodies in the door" but that may not be the Emery approach.
FWIW, I think they'll get Guendouzi in - anything else will be a bonus or a last-minute, value-enhancing opportunity.

I'm not assuming, if anything I'm hoping we've learnt from past mistakes. It is a bit of a dilemma though.
If we get Guendouzi I'd be delighted, but we reeeeeeeaaally need another attacker

Also a little bit over the top perhaps for somebody who came from the Belgian second division. Still, I guess we did something similar for Duran.

I'm still reeling in horror from: Aston Villa are ready to pounce and look into sealing a late-window deal.

Are we pouncing into looking into something? Or are we pouncing separately to our other hobby of looking at buying footballers?

No time to decipher as I've got to explode into pondering a distraction.

Do we pounce out of a large war chest?

The war chest itself might be large, but if we are going to pounce out of it, surely there's not much room for gold / coins in it, which is not going to help us in the market.

Dodged a bullet if he hadn't have dodged a medical.

That would have been Coutinho MK II. At best he would be an impact player - very best.
