great signing...will be good to have him back. Has been a rock for Swansea in recent years

They will all be used in some way or another, just as they were last year. I expect we'll go 4-5-1 in some games, 4-4-2 in others etc

Pretty much, the outcome of our entire season will be decided on the outcome of the first couple of games. Like it was last year, and the year before.

We did have a brilliant defence last year tbf, and it wasn't just the CB's - it's the whole team. I'd like to see a pacey CB signed to partner fonte in an Ideal world, but I'd be more nervous if I was a P'boro fan going into the championship with the same defence.

I reckon it's probably over £1m initially, rising to around £3m on promotion/appearances/international games etc. It sounds like we set our stool out nice and early though and put a bid down that we knew wouldn't have been easily matched.

Pahars pre-injuries.

Check this defence - Ostlund, Bennett, Makin, Vignal - Started against Palace at home, 1-4. Now when you start a season with that it's time to worry, but really we've got nothing to worry about at the moment.

AFC Totton On July 7th 2011, Jutkiewicz signed for AFC Totton for a fee in the region of £11.6m on a 33 year deal.

jackcork1 Didn't say I didn't like it at Chelsea. Had some good times there. Just saying burnley gave me some great memories. And excited for future 42 minutes ago jackcork1 Thanks for all the messages everyone. And thanks to all the support from burnley fans. More of a home club than Chelsea has ever been to me.

Stop being a predictable WUM.

West Ham fans are a bit gutted too:

I think we'd miss out on half of his game with him stuck back there, Similar to how we messed around with Surman and Skacel. He's a CM and i'd hope to see him play there 90% of the time.

I think Lambert was an important signing for us, because it showed everyone that we now had a club that could compete financially. We'd also landed ourselves a player that could get us out of this league. Cork could be as important in the long-run and it's a great addition.

Lambert

I think he'll still be ours, we've stuck a ridiculous price on his head (rightly so) no clubs are willing to match it, and Chambo himself seems quite content to stay here for a little longer - so everyone is happy. (apart from the clubs trying to get him)

I guess you're being sarcastic.

Don't go wasting your time Nick. They'll go quiet for a week or so now, before popping back up as we've only made 1 signing so far etc.

Our midfield and wide options are excellent. Hammond, Cork, Chaplow, Morgan, Holmes, Lallana, Chambo, Forte & Guly can play there too.

Some Burnley fans views if anyone is intersted:

.

IMO he's a premier league level player, so this is a massive coup for us.

Which would explain why Sky haven't twigged on it yet.

Probably around £1m

It's pretty mouthwatering tbh! If we can keep that together it could compete in the premiership if/when we get there.
