If this kid comes in we might see one go out or someone like Naismith simply not considered for a defensive role unless we have a huge injury crisis. On first glance this doesn't look like a bad signing at all if it comes off and is the difference maker in getting Conway out of the building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, quite possible that LM wants something different to Naismith who appears to be a liability regards availability albeit a good player Didn’t see it coming but if there is a swap deal for Conway to bring in both of these players from Burnley then it makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HengroveReds Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 For all we know Atkinson may struggle after a couple of serious injuries, may not fit into mannings plans. Naismith more than likely offloaded next summer if not sooner as OOC Tanner / McCorie right backs Pring / Roberts left backs that leaves Dickie Vyner. who knows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The best teams in the division have depth in every area. McNally would certainly improve us, in an area where we have been hit with injuries in recent times. Really liked him during his loan spell at Coventry, where he seemed very comfortable with the ball at his feet. To get both him and Twine, in exchange for Conway, seems almost too good a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyAB Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I think it's a good opportunity to try and get a good player (no matter what position) that was definitely not in the initial plans but has now appeared due to their interest in one of our players. If we sign him it will either give us good competition at the back, we will now switch to a back three, a defender will leave or we will stay with a back four and either McNally or Vyner goes to RB (OUT OF POSSESSION, BACK THREE IN POSSESSION AS ALWAYS) to allow all three of McNally, Vyner and Dickie to start.

We have - Atkinson, Dickie, Vyner and Naismith as recognised cbs. We also have Roberts and Tanner that can fill in there. You only need one injury and then were down to the barebones if playing with 3 at the back. I think cb was the next position to recruit for after signing strikers and a 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MythikRobins Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) He's a right sided centre back. So generally this should have nothing to do with Naismith, Atkinson, Roberts or Dickie (although Dickie can play the right side aswell) and more to do with Vyner and Tanner since they will play the same position.

With O'Leary behind in goal obvs. Like you, @Mr Popodopolous, I've struggled to see the big-picture plan with our recruitment this summer. I was starting to think that we might be moving forward with a back 4 this season. If we were to bring in McNally, that would probably be an indicator of a back 3. (Assuming we don't sell any of the defenders we currently have). Some decent players, but difficult to predict how it all comes together.

MythikRobins Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I will say Conway for Twine and McNally would be unreal value for us IMO. Who knows if he'd be a main starter for us though but he gives us more options which seems to be the general idea of our recruitment this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 With regards Naismith, could push him forward as I like him as a defensive midfielder, as someone who can play a good ball and cover defensively, would not be totally surprised to see either Vyner or Pring leave as bound to be interest in them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shauntaylor85 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) I really don’t understand what our strategy is here, are we really needing another CB on a decent wage? Are we just collecting players for the sake of it? We want wingers one minute, then we want potentially another right winger, then a CB who best plays in a back 3 which likely neglects wingers…..I honesty am not convinced Tinnion and Manning have a plan here! Feels like championship manager. Hope I’m wrong but feels like the LJ and Ashton era is repeating itself after Nige brought some stability and sensible management.

2015 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I have never known us to be this stacked at Centre Back to be honest, so i'd be surprised if a new one come in. However, I would like to see Naismith in a more advanced position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Naismith might not be like for like with this chap, considering his age & what we’ve had back so far for his contract, I’d say he’s far more likely to drop out than Dickie, Vyner, Atkinson or Roberts. Could do with the latter being fit though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 As players today are more versatile as to the positions they can play, my guess is Manning does know what he is doing and sees any new players not just bolstering a position, but releasing others already here to change positions, Manning having seen them in training over an extended period.

HOZDA Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Interesting. He's a good player. A stand out at Oxford and 2 rather successful loans at Coventry and Stoke. Can't ignore the fact he would be another addition to our Irish contingent! I agree we are rather stacked in the CB department. But we all know depth in squad is a necessity for success in this league. I suppose it does 'block' potential pathways for some of our academy lads, and we seem to have a few decent ones in the pipeline in that role. Unless of course the club are anticipating a few outgoings... Interesting times ahead! Edited August 1 by HOZDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 If we could do Twine and McNally for Conway that'd be a phenomenal bit of business imo. Stacked at centre-half, granted, but if plan A is a back 3 you need an extra two to account for that extra central defender. Two capable Championship players, with the potential to become very good Championship players, for one. I'd be over the moon. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I wouldn’t be surprised if there was interest in Dickie, especially if he starts the seasons as he played last year. He got him at below his true value, City could see him as our most profitable player (with Vyner) once Conway goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I’m wrong but feels like the LJ and Ashton era is repeating itself after Nige brought some stability and sensible management. to be fair, one comment on a thread doesn't mean we were after a winger... It's just speculation. We don't play a traditional formation anymore; It's fairly fluid and interchangeable under Manning. We've "played 4231" all pre-season, but it's been 32311 in possession and 442 out of possession blending into a 424 pressing shape when we execute our triggers. Also; Pearson himself felt we were one RCB short at the end of his last window, so one presumes there was joined up thinking with BT on that front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNally is a makeweight in this. Not a bad one mind you, but helpful for Burnley to lose a non-homegrown player (McNally) as part of it, and swap one homegrown (Twine) for another (Conway). Clears a bit of wages, and allows them to go into the market. They've been watching Tommy for over 12 months. This has legs.

I guess we are looking to do a deal that secures our number one target of the summer & then after that, because we value Conway higher, either a cash adjustment, or because Burnley currently have a squad that numbers in the high 30s, a further makeweight that we think strengthens us & Burnley are content to shed. It sounds complicated (because it is) but we already know Conway wants to leave & Twine wants to return to the South West, so that definitely helps matters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
