Looks like Cornet's replacement. I expect him to be on his way this week.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Saints have signed a 19yo striker from Bordeaux. Couldn't find a fee but Newcastle, Leeds and Borussia MG were reportedly interested in him. Might take their mind from Delap. They still only have 3 strikers and the other two are Armstrong and Adams. I would be worried going into the season with tho...

Had to chuckle when some posters feel Barnes/Rodriguez will give us 40 goals in the Championship, with a combined age of 65. Its on a par with the mentality of those at Christmas, saying we would start winning again and avoid relegation Jay did get 22 goals for WBA but he stayed fit that year and p...

Just wish we’d get this done instead of taking him on preseason trips etc.

It’s a distraction for the rest of the squad, and we need a replacement in pronto.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

It makes me cringe every time someone writes 'pacy striker' on this board.

Probably remembering the countless ones we've had down the years that were utter dross.

Ian Moore for example.

The dive in value may have something to do with Ligue 1’s requirement for players to be vaccinated against Covid-19.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Not sure why people are reading so much into Cornet’s or the club’s posts. As things stand he’s a Burnley player and he’s not leaving. If an offer appropriate to both the club and the player comes in then he will be sold/loaned. Him being in Portugal is not odd at all because he may be off, or he m...

Sorry to post this but have we got any serious leads with wingers and central strikers? I've read about this bloke from Oostende (Gueye) but that's about it. Just seen Fabio Silva has gone on loan to Anderlecht. Now I would have liked to have seen him at TM. Nothing since Liam Delap and Ike Ugbo, a...

Nope, I think you are struggling with the logic around how a big club is determined. Leicester won the league in 2016 however Man Utd won both the Europa League and the EFL Cup in 2017 (as well as the FA Cup in 2016) which are both major trophy's and therefore Man Utd are obviously a bigger club th...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

I tend to judge the size of a club by when they last won a major trophy and so by that logic you've got to accept that Coventry are a bigger club than us and that Burnley are a little tinpot. Nothing to be embarrassed or upset about but just the truth of the matter. So are Leicester City are a bigg...

Can I ask if there are any Burnley transfer rumours today or are they now put on another thread?

Here's where we seem to be..

Most active deals..

Callum O'Hare
Bart Verbruggen

Rumours..

Liam Delap
Ike Ugbo
Mario Vušković

These facts and they usually shut up pretty quick. They’re the usual ‘We’re a city so we’re automatically a big club’ lot, despite being desperately poorly supported for a place that size.

Calling us a tinpot club etc, continuously saying he’s 12m+ or nothing (despite actual journos saying it’s 6-9m), basically denying all the reports from respected journalists that talks are advanced. Though I guess it’s only like our fans saying we should have got 40m for Pope etc. I don't see why ...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

I think if we get between 15-20 for Dwight and the same for Cornet then those are deals that need to be done. Vincent Kompany will have replacements ready to come in, and it puts us 50-60m in profit. If Pace even gave him half of that to spend then we should be in good shape to create a very product...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

Ironically, Peacock-Farrell has look a nervous kid in every game I’ve seen him play for us.

We have to be aiming higher than him.

If Verbruggen isn’t ready then why are we paying €5 million for him when we could buy someone who is?

UpTheClaretsFCBK

There’s no chance we’re paying a record fee for a keeper for him to be benched behind Peacock-Farrell.

UpTheClaretsFCBK

He’s a winger anyway, not sure where he would fit into the squad. Can’t believe he’s on 130k, that’s mental money for him.

The Gabriel rumour is a weird 1. Right back is the last area that needs strengthening.

If Cornet doesn’t have a reduction clause, then why would he want to go to Fulham on loan and earn the same money? Surely after only just moving he might as well give us a season and see if we can go back up.. I don’t seen why he’d entertain it unless it was a permanent deal and an improvement on hi...

UpTheClaretsFCBK

According to Nixon, we're the ones who have brokered this deal.. "Burnley co-owner Mike Smith, an American attorney, has been working with an agent to broker the deal on that basis to clubs at home and abroad." That's what we're offering Cornet at. It's up to clubs whether they take it. So far, Fulh...

My suspicion is that Kompany will use players like Twine and O'Hare (should he sign) as the furthest forward players in his 4222. Similarly to how we set up at Shrewsbury the other night, two defensive midfielders (Cork and Cullen), two box to box midfielders in front (2 of Brownhill, Bastien, McNe...

Not a rumour (remember, NOT a rumour), just a thought as we clearly need a striker. This might be an insane suggestion, possibly, but here it is... Michy Batshuayi on loan.

Top Championship goalscorer 17/18 suggests he is a good goalscorer at this level when fit.

He's not going to be fit until at least January, then another month to get match sharp.

I wouldn't even have offered him a deal, and I would have certainly rescinded the offer by now if I had done.

Our pitch is Desso GrassMaster, which is part grass and part artificial technology. The exact same system is used at Camp Nou, San Siro, Parc de Princes, Anfield, the Emirates, City of Manchester, Old Trafford, Ibrox, Celtic Park, and Wembley. It's the platinum standard for pitches.

Also heard on Friday that Muric was at Gawthorpe last week. That would be a u-turn, most of the insiders stated that we'd moved on from Muric well over a week ago.

But they are a downgrade, it’s just a fact. If stating that Tarkowski is a better player than Luke McNally is classed as me judging McNally then fair enough, I hold my hands up.

How do you know he's better? Have you even seen McNally play?

Can we at least give the lads a chance.

How much Premier League experience do we still have in the squad? 1000+ games? Why are we so easily dismissing that experience? Does that not count?

Way over 1,000. I worked out the other day that we have 600+ PL appearances with just out under 30s. McNeil has 137 on his own.

Gobsmacked a company trading in football shirts turned over £18.2m last year. Think I'll dig mine out of the loft!

Much bigger company than people think and Burnley already have a relationship with them.

We sell our left over kits and training gear to them at the end of every season.
