Laws added: We have been happy with all the newcomers.

BURNLEY manager Brian Laws believes he may have unearthed the bargain of the season in summer signing Dean Marney.

He has obviously been here a long time and I am expecting him to start the season. It's his shirt to lose but it's all about competition and we have that now. Lee knows the score and he's very confident in his own ability, Laws added. The...

Brian Laws said afer the game: In the first half we looked like we had just stepped off the plane, but in the end I was pleased with the way we settled and responded. We passed and moved the ball much better and started to show the standards of...

Laws added: Brian will pull out all the stops to be at number one himself. It's a win-win situation for me as a manager because I know I am going to have a good goalkeeper who is tremendous between the posts and he knows he is going to be looking...

Laws said: It has been a very good workout. The conditions here meant it was always going to be very tough and the humidity has been incredible over the past couple of days. But I thought after the first 10 or 15 minutes, when we were getting used...

Unfortunately the club we're dealing with had a couple of issues which held it back, nothing to do with the player or ourselves, said Laws. It looks like it's back in place now and hopefully even though we're away the deal will be done so...

Everything has been agreed, but there is a hiccup at his parent club that needs to be resolved and we hope that can happen soon, Laws said.

I would have liked to have had a keeper in place but that wasn't to be, said Laws. It wasn't down to us, it is down to the club we are dealing with who had a minor issue. There is no problem and the deal should be done while we are away,...

He is certainly an asset for us and we would like to keep him, said Laws. It's up in the air at the moment. He's only got a year left on his contract. Ultimately it will be the player's decision whether he stays with us.

Laws has made it clear he wants Eagles to remain at Turf Moor and said this morning: I will sit down with Chris this morning and see what is on his mind following yesterday's developments. Clearly he is a talented player and one I do not want to...
