5 things on Burnley fans minds ahead of Monday’s West Brom clash

Premier League Loans

Gone are the days where Burnley had more loans than Wonga, but a couple of decent temporary additions can add some serious weight to a squad.

The Clarets are only allowed two Premier League loan signings at once and are currently using them on Patrick Bamford (Pictured – Right) and Jon Flanagan.

Bamford has played 31 minutes of league football spaced over four substitute appearances so far, and is at best fourth choice striker at Turf Moor.

The club can only get rid of any players in transfer windows, and I’d be tempted to keep Flanagan and pack Bamford back off to Chelsea.

I believe there are better loan options out there, where the player would improve the team and provide genuine competition for places.
