Clear off and stop ruining this thread.

People are so sensitive today.

For the record I’m very happy Twine has signed.

Newcastleclaret93

You’ve missed the point that it’s pretty likely Kompany has been brought in to the club to help us attract players. Of course it’s a results business and him getting the players to perform is absolutely going to be the challenge that he will ultimately be judged on. The post you’ve referenced thoug...

Talk about 2 + 2 = 5

The reference was obviously about Kompany being able to attract players to the club.

Not at all.

He said “VK can convince half those being rumoured to sign, then he has already justified his first years salary”

What have I misunderstood? This is a results business.

Newcastleclaret93

Indeed-I said yesterday that if VK can convince half those being rumoured to sign, then he has already justified his first years salary What a weird thing to say. So if Kompany gets us relegated this year (as a theory) your saying his salary is justified because he’s bringing in some young players.

Nixon has also said we have pulled OUT of the Ballard deal after securing other targets for the position.

I take it he means THB and Egan Riley.

Hmmm that seems strange. Thought Ballard looked the best fit out of all three.

Newcastleclaret93

Coupled with : he’s miles better bombing forward and under Lage Wolves don’t really bomb forward anymore. And Hamer, I remember him breaking through at Oldham at 17 or 18 but isn’t he just a big unit? Like playing Duffo at RB. Not even close to the same type of player. I think in the Champ Roberts ...

Newcastleclaret93

Firstly I take your point - however, every player has a price. This topic has been gone over several times. We have to get back to being a ‘selling club’ where we buy low and sell high, that’s the way to grow the club naturally, as VK said yesterday in his interview. If you sell Collins for 30m+ an...

I think Twine will.

I agree I suspect him and McNeil will be in a competition for player of the season this year

Newcastleclaret93

I don't know why so many posters are underwhelmed by our links to young players, it's as if Burnley fans have become conditioned to signing experienced pros, and the prospect of youth scares them rigid. Well I'm excited by our window for the first team in many years, whatever it may bring at least ...

Newcastleclaret93

For the negative crew yes, great summary, perfect for you. In other news, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed we are signing Egan Riley on a permanent deal. Looks on paper like an incredible signing given the fee. I understand hippers view, these are some very exciting players coming through the doors. H...

Newcastleclaret93

Given CM looks to be one of the key targets this summer I would suggest Cork isn’t going to play week in week out

Newcastleclaret93

I would say based on the three lads signing perhaps this:

Hennessey
Roberts, Collins, Ballard, Taylor
Cork, Brownhill
Costelloe, Twine, McNeil
Jay

Interesting. Though I did see Weghorst reluctant to go there as he wanted Bundesliga?

No links to Muleka from UK press yet either.

I’m hoping similar to these last two deals it’s getting done in the quiet

Newcastleclaret93

Looks like Weghorst going to Besiktas. Talksport saying a loan deal has been agreed.

I imagine that opens the door for Muleka

He also says still pressing ahead with THB.

Does this suggest Roberts could be sold? I believe Egan Riley plays mostly at RB.

Last season he played 16 games at Cb and 6 at RB

Could be any one of the 3 to be fair

Could be but given the Kompany links I would say it’s most likely us

I hope Vydra signs a new deal and helps us in the second half of the season.

If he didn’t have such a serious injury I would agree.

Newcastleclaret93

Ah, the classic 'penalties don't count' argument. Vydra's finishing isn't the best but his record in the Championship is very good. Whether he gets back to his best at 30 after a serious injury is up for debate, but his record in that league demands respect. Makes you appreciate how good Wood was f...

Lokongo would be a beast in this league.

If they sign Tielemans too then you never know, they might change their mind.

Yep I think it highlights that Kompany sees CM as a critical area for him this window.

Lokonga would be immense

When things go well il be buzzing. The signing of Twine is a massive step in the right direction. He’s destined for the prem and ...

Newcastleclaret93

Twine is a truly top signing. Everyone should be excited by this one.

Newcastleclaret93

I don’t know enough about Twine and should probably research, I assumed he was a centre forward? In my head we have one winger in McNeil that I either don’t expect to be sold or believe is fit enough for a 46 game season, hence I feel we do need two. If Twine is a winger, yes, 1. He can play as a w...

Newcastleclaret93

Boden confirming twine is close now

Newcastleclaret93

Even after Ballard, Harwood-Bellis and Twine (if they all join), I feel we'll need: Another CM due to Westwood's injury (possibly Cullen), at least one more winger (I'd be keen to say two really, with Lennon having left and Gudmundsson being totally unreliable, make that three when Cornet goes), a ...

Newcastleclaret93

It will be interesting to see where VK plays Twine (if he signs). In his 4–2-2-2 system I could see him playing off the left and McNeil the right, both would be drifting inwards. But like you’ve highlighted he is also natural in the 10. I personally think he will play as part of the 2 in the 442 sy...

Newcastleclaret93

Hennessey
Roberts, Collins, Ballard, Taylor
Cork, Brownhill
Gudmundsson, Twine, McNeil
Jay

Is the basis of a decent team. Sign a Decent striker, RM and CM and that’s a very strong eleven.

Hopefully we can fill out the reserves as well.

Fee agreed for twine.

Newcastleclaret93

Google translate is struggling with this one but it looks like we have submitted a loan offer with an obligation to buy him for 3.5m.

While we are here, another new name to be linked by Mercato ‘Negotiations are progressing rather well between Standard de Liège and Burnley for a possible transfer of Jackson Muleka.’ He is a 22 year old striker. I saw that one but not sure about the link, it doesn’t seem to be a website or anything?

Yes looking at millwall fans thoughts he looks a good prospect

If that’s the case do you think Collins stays?

In some respects, don’t want to be involved in bidding wars or being messed around anyway. We can neither afford to get drawn in financially or time-wise.
