Laws is the loan ranger for Burnley

BURNLEY boss Brian Laws plans to hold back some of his summer budget to capitalise on new Premier League rules with September loan signings – but he hopes to find out whether Jack Cork will return to the club before then.
Laws has already brought in Dean Marney, Chris Iwelumo, Ross Wallace and Lee Grant this summer but is now likely to wait for loan opportunities before moving back into the market.
Under new regulations introduced for this season, Premier League teams must each name a 25-man squad on September 1 and any players over the age of 21 who are not included will be unable to play for their parent clubs in league matches until the transfer window reopens on January 1.
Laws expects that will leave a number of talented players looking for loan moves to play regular football and believes some of his remaining budget could be best spent on temporary deals once the transfer window shuts.
“We've got a few options and we're just keeping our powder dry at the moment,” said the Clarets chief.
“We've still got funds available but we are looking at options.
"We're not doing anything immediately.
“With Premier League clubs having to name 25-man squads now there are going to be a lot of players who are going to have to go out on loan or they are not going to play.
“That is going to be a real benefit for all Football League clubs, so we're just holding some of our budget back.”
One Premier League player who Burnley still hope to sign before the closure of the transfer window is Cork, who impressed on loan at Turf Moor during the second half of last season.
The 21-year-old midfielder has been linked this week with a season-long loan move to fellow Championship club Swansea, where Cork’s former Chelsea youth team coach Brendan Rodgers is now manager.
Swansea, once managed by Jack’s father Alan, want to tie up a deal before the season starts on August 7 but Laws is still keen to bring the player back to Burnley.
Cork was said to be open to a Turf Moor return - either on loan or permanently - but may be swayed if he gets the chance to play in the top flight.
“We've had dialogue with Chelsea and Jack Cork's agent, so our finger is very much on the pulse with that,” he said.
“We would love to have him back here but Jack is just weighing things up at the moment because obviously he wants to play in the Premier League, which is understandable.
“But I would expect to hear an answer on that one before the transfer window shuts.”

There is every chance he could get sacked before September is out if the team gets off to a bad start.
He says he is keeping what's left of his budget back. He has only spent £2.5 million and they got £7.5 million for Fletcher.
By my maths, he still has at least £5 million to spend before the season starts - not to mention the £17.5 million parachute money and the seson ticket money.
Kilby is taking the p**s out of all loyal Clarets fans.

All this worrying and we should have don this and that threads are pointless - basically we needed a big striker - we have got Iwelumo; we urgently needed a left winger - we bought Wallace; Central midfield needed strengthening - we bought Marney; Jensen needed replacing - we bought Grant.
.
In my view we are well set now for a good campaign, we possibly could do with Jack Cork (particularly if McCann isn't going to be fit) and another striker as I don't think Jay Rod is the answer, but other than that I think we will be fine, and with the likes of Elliot, Thompson, Carlisle, McDonald etc on the bench - we have possibly the strongest squad in the division.

Looks like the Burnley Laugh a . Minute Show is about to roll out again. People were in hysterics last season from January onwards. More of the same with Brian and Russ "who" running this circus?

Wake up with you stupid numpty comments.
Laws has signed some excellent signings so far and next season we'll be a lot stronger than if that muppet who went down the road would of been here.

What about your boys? Lost every one of your pre-season games including defeats against the likes of PNE and Huddersfield, so I suggest you get your own Blackburn house in order before you start giving Burnley some grief you simple tool.

Your references to Blackburn reveal you for an ignoramous : half the sides were reserve team or fringe players unlike the Accy Stanley humiliation. But that of course is a minor issue compared with their 10th successive season in the Premier League and 17 out of 19 sinvce its formation in 1992. Apologies for pointing out a few unpalatable facts : now get back to the Clartets Mad board - thats if you can read the type through the dense haze of Skunk smoke generated by its contributors;-)

I expect you will put your own skunk joint into your ashtray and start mentioning the fact that we once got beat by Wimbledon and Telford etc etc yadda yadda yadda.

Your rhetoric is boring to say the least - we are unbeaten in pre-season - you meanwhile have lost EVERY game.
.
Put THAT in your crack-pipe and smoke it

Are we really `set now for a good campaign`...just wait till the vultures appear and take away most of the first taem before the season starts.
Ian Holloway has already got Chris Eagles in his sights.
Coyle has got Elliott on his radar.
Just watch this space......

Can't say I have missed the likes of 'BobinSpain, Tetleydrinker and Howardclaret' whingeing moaning non attending the Turf hypocrites. They pontifiicate all the time how bad BFC is gleaning all their "Knowledge" from internets stats. or TV. But in the case of Tetley plucked out of his poor deluded imagination (I would have said brain, but from the way he bounces around BFC & BRFC and judging from his swinging whingeing I would say he's a no brainer and in fact I wish genuine supporters would ignore him then he's "wither on the Vine" like his other personna Ossyclaret. If not he can always call round to my place for a Paraquat Cocktail

all I agree with all your comments except perhaps Rodriguez, to me he was growing in stature until his injury so didn't get the chances he was hoping for. It would be nice to see a local lad fully come through and will be watching his progress avidly.

A draw with first team players against Accy Stanley at the end of a pre-season buiild up at home. Its ashamed to wear the shirt stuff but then I and plenty of other have been like that since about 1986 ; 3-0 defeat to Telford United in the FA Cup and all that;-) The real picture about a season becomes clear at the end of February / early March : you would be well advised to reserve judgment until then.

Which is why (using man management skills) you need to get the best out of the assets you have and encourage your people to do well in supporting them, thus giving them a chance to prove themselves.
The season hasn't started yet - Mr.
Laws took a poisoned Chalice last season (damned if he did & damned if he didn't) - so come, on start on a positive note and then use negatives if/and when required
I don't need to check the meaning of hypocrite, being fully conversant with its meaning.
I feel the usage of this word to be totally correct in view of some of your statements, where you profess to be a BFC supporter and yet pour scorn in many of your comments giving the appearance to the contrary of the word "Supporter" - i.e "Propounding one faith/belief whilst practising another" Further propogated by your often agreeing with the complete bigoted fool Tetleydrinker, who appears to have morphed himself yet again as nontetleydrinker in another item.
Notwithstanding I wish you well and hope some day you may have the chance to return to the fold and get the real experience of being on the Turf, which is where all true BFC supporters should be - i.e. putting their money where their mouths are and getting behind the team.

Fellow Brothers and supporters of BFC.
The day has dawned as we can see
Perhaps we can all share full of glee
The man says "he's off" the one called Tetlee.
Now peace is ensured just as it should
He's finally F***** O** to rubbish Deadwood
I'm not prone to aggro trouble or strife
I much prefer a peaceable life
But doubt he'll be back with an non- humorous quip
If so, can someone give him a big fat lip.
Oh for the end of "Nudge, nudge I know the truth - it's written in leets"
He's worse than the blooming telly repeats

I won't bore you with my c.v. but I took my headmaster's advice and got out of Burnley at the first opportunity, (Birmingham University 1968), and never went back.
My comments are thus objective and unclouded by such ephemera as "faith."

Notchuffed replies
From the time you have spent in Burnley I would say 'ephemera' is more appropriate to you. Your sarcasm is noted but would respond by stating that having had a good education via Tod Rd. Jnrs - Burnley Grammar - Reading University I chose to repay the place where I was born and raised by giving back to the area chances of employment to Burnley people. Sadly, it seems to have become the norm for people such as you to grab, rush away and then denigrate anything in relation to their home town. I would also condemn the advice given (as you state) by your headmaster; sadly he chose to be head of a Burnley school then run down the area where he came voluntarily. As I said previously - hypocritical views which now appear to be given to you by your tutors.

Ephemera: something of no lasting significance. ie faith? Come on numpties, buck up!
B.T.H.S. taught me,and an appreciation of vocabularly.
Amazing to see how I'm vilified for having left Burnley by those who have nothing but obeisance and 'faith' to the cause.
I wish Burnley all success. I doubt Laws will lead them to it. That's my point.

Even using your definition - "My comments are thus objective and unclouded by such ephemera as "faith." doesn't make sense. Faith is almost the opposite or ephemera, faith last forever!
