LestaLad Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 If he goes then we must think Sowah is the best thing since sliced bread, or in this case, Mahrez. 1
Popular Post TrickyTrev Benjamin Posted 4 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 4 July 2021 If we want to keep moving forward as a club then get rid. He’s nowhere near the level we’re at now and everyone in this thread being way over sentimental. He’s not good enough for us anymore. He’ll suit Burnley very well and still be able to play week in week out in the premier league. The time is coming and that era of Leicester city is over and we need to move on. We can’t keep people around just because they’re legends. Time to make new legends. 5

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 He's loyal, knows our club, has experience with us, has never got his head turned like Mahrez, Maguire or Chilwell. You can't just get rid of a guy, others move on but he's the type of player like Morgan who stays till he retires. 1
jayfox26 Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Keep. Whilst he's not a starter he certainly has a role to play in the squad. Whilst our title winners won't be here forever, not sure im ready to lose anymore yet.
Foxxed Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 If we’re not selling one big player but using money from FBS and wage reductions then it seems reasonable we’d try to sell a few players. I’ll be devastated if he goes rather than retiring here.

He's perfect for a lot of clubs, but he's an important part of ours both on and off the pitch. Unless we get bombshell news that Marc's wanted to play for Burnley all his life this is never going to happen. 4
matty98 Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 He's worth more to us than we would get selling him so we shouldn't sell. He's our James Milner sort of player, a solid, reliable professional who can cover a few different positions. 3

Popular Post FoxesWalk Posted 4 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 4 July 2021 Albrighton made 42 appearances last season, he’s not as past it as some of you lot seem to think. Plenty still left to offer, can’t ask for a much better squad player really. 7

Face it he’s nowhere near good enough for where we wanna be. If it was up to people like you we’d still have nugent and king on the bench. Let it go times are changing.

South Shire Fox Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 The most Sean ‘hard brexit’ Dyche signing ever 😂. I know theres no way to prove it but theres surely got to be racism running through the management/player recruitment side at that club. It cant just be a coincidence that 99 percent of players Burnley sign since Dyche has been there happen to be white (usually British) in comparison with literally every other club in the league?
KingsX Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 He keeps reminding managers, and fans, that he’s better than we think he is. Defensively he remains a monster, the Ndidi of wingers -- world-class in both volume and success rate of ball pressures. And that Shot Creating Actions stat is an eye-catcher. Of course he also leads the known universe in Crosses To No One. But he’s too useful, and we’re too short of wingers, to let him go. Especially for what Mr No-Pound-Notes would pay to buy out just one year of his contract. 4

Ric Flair Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 Last season was his best season for us in 3 years IMO.

Koke Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 People are acting like Albrighton is an assist machine we all know his stats, and without checking I'm sure there are multiple full backs who have better numbers than him. If he moves, he moves. It's Burnley anyway, we're not get much for him. He's had a good 7 years here, the first 3 being really good. 1

If it was up to people like you we’d still have nugent and king on the bench. Let it go times are changing. We aren’t the underdogs anymore. I don't think you've taken enough account of the value to be got from experienced players who are loyal, professional and respected, and who act as a role model for the younger and more self-interested squad members. There are lots of areas apart from match-play where their influence on the togetherness of the squad is important - club and squad social events, dressing room, training pitch and when on the bench and the pitch. The presence of players like Morgan and Fuchs has been important in those respects. Their leaving means there are fewer players to perform that role and retaining Albrighton helps to give us breathing space while some of the newer players may be nurtured into the club ethos and may eventually perform the same purpose. It may appear to be a more tenuous consideration than simply performance on the pitch, but it would be prudent not to under-estimate how crucial was the togetherness of the club and squad in our 2015-16 achievement. 1

We can’t keep people around just because they’re legends. Time to make new legends. Totally disagree with this. He's not good enough to start but to be successful you need a capable squad. Marc is still very capable, can fill in a number of positions and rarely let's us down. 42 appearances last season suggests he clearly has a role to play. I totally disagree that he's being kept around 'because he's a legend'. He's being kept around because he's a solid professional who rarely let's us down even if he's not spectacular. I would argue that having lost two fantastic pros in Wes and Fuchsy, Marc's experience could be more vital than ever. Edited 4 July 2021 by Paddy. 12

NasPb Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 This has reminded me that i really need to buy an albrighton jersey.
StriderHiryu Posted 4 July 2021 Posted 4 July 2021 2 hours ago, Carl the Llama said: Why are we even talking about this? There's no chance. Exactly. Marc made over 40 appearances last season, and over 20 starts. He played in the FA Cup Final! He's an invaluable member of the squad and should not be sold. Players like Sharkey mean we can be competitive across many competitions! 1
