But may well be true, yes its clutching at straws - as is saying Ward hasnt actually signed for Burnley yet so we do have a small chance - who knows, the Championship is incredibly unpredictable.
And for the comparison, we have an on paper average team like them last season, admittedly more...
Sounds like Buckley didnt show his worth in training and Sami wasnt impressed. Obviously reading between the lines he either wasnt putting the effort in or was lacking skill wise - perhaps him leaving is actually for the best.
Had we actually had more players, this would have been more...
Im sure the same was thought about Burnley last season when they sold Charlie Austin for the same sort of fee as Ulloa, didnt end too badly for them and their on paper average team.
Admittedly, they did have 3 decent strikers though, where as we have 2 average ones at present.
