True False

Burnley, after a busy summer, have made an impressive start to life in the Championship.

Kompany’s side are unbeaten in their opening two fixtures, having faced two sides who finished in the division’s top-six last season.

A 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town on the opening weekend was convincing, whilst character was on show to draw 1-1 with Luton Town at Turf Moor a week later.

The Verdict

Burnley are still active in the market and that’s encouraging for the club’s supporters to learn, as there’s still work to be done on Kompany’s squad.

Obviously it’s frustrating that deals for Cabral and Davis aren’t forthcoming. Both players would’ve boosted the options in the final third, so it might be a case of getting back to the drawing board.

There should still be confidence of Burnley landing the right targets, though, given how much of an impact the club have had in the market so far this summer.
