I think a concern with that would be that presumably Thelwell was central to getting Danjuma, Beto and Chermiti and Dyche has barely played any of them, so there will be a fundamental disconnect happening.
I don't think Chermiti was bought with the intention of getting much game time at the moment, more one for the future and probably and have gone on loan somewhere. Danjuma hasn't been great and wasn't at Spurs either last season, he was available on loan so it made sense to get him in but definitely not a Dyche type player and we can all see Beto but he's scored goals elsewhere and I still think there's something about him that he could get 10-12 goals a season given a run. The issue is Dyche probably persisted too long with DCL when he was clearly struggling so Beto has been getting minutes more than any meaningful run in the team until recently. I think that'll continue after this break as DCL will be well rested and I can see Dyche giving him another go.
None of it's ideal but it's where we are at the moment.

I'm not sure we'll have a choice, offers will come in for those two that will be too big for us to say no to.
I don't think he was saying we should just sign brownhill and pray, I'd imagine that was just an example of the type of loan deal that might help.
Glad to see I started a discussion anyway lol. Certainly wasn’t advocating for what I thought might happen but we have to stay up next year, before BMD might help us move the goalposts so to speak

Oh we won't be spending £35m on anyone. You're maybe misunderstanding what I'm saying or oversimplifying perhaps. There are bargains to be had in Europe for way less than that.
I'm talking about the types of players that Dyche will favour, if he does have a significant involvement in recruitment. Judging on how tragically bad we are with the ball, and how mostly good we are without the ball, I think it's fair to assume that our recruitment focus isn't going to involve quality on the ball or technical ability. I think it's fair to assume that it might involve hard work, energy, attitude, fitness levels etc.
I think we'll trend to more Garners than Onanas if Dyche has significant involvement.
The Onana deal though was an almost guaranteed winner which is why we paid so much for him. We've been linked with many cheap young foreign midfielders who've gone elsewhere and achieved the square root of zero, so it's a very risky strategy to pin hopes on those players.
We didn't get lucky with Onana, we paid for the near definite profit down the line we'd get... So I don't see it as the same as a punt on some young foreigner.
Ideally we'd do both as the value increase is more dramatic the less you pay, but we do need some actual guaranteed quality in there too this summer.

I'm surprised the Points Deduction Derby against Forest hasn't been moved for TV. Big relegation six pointer, especially if we get hit with another deduction.

Do you not think we have enough ex Burnley players in our team already along with their former manager I’d say we should be looking elsewhere but if you are a dyche disciple then that’s your opinion
Chermiti will be out on loan there is a good player there needs a branthwaite type of loan somewhere where he will be played and learn I think danjuma was very underused before he got injured

I've got absolutely no idea why Chermiti was bought personally. Looks baffling looking back.
Young player, with really high potential.
Give him some good loans, slowly integrate him into the first team and in a few years you have yourself a good premier league striker for relative buttons.
We all know that’s not going to happen though so yeah, what’s the point.
Will end up in Spain or back in Portugal for a fraction of what we bought him for.
