Tomorrow is Thursday.

Oh all the things mentioned in this thread, this is something I can agree with 100%.

Steddyman

I’ll believe it if we can agree personal terms with the player. Until then, pie in the sky.

Maybe we need to go down this year to attract players. Got to be more enticing signing for a team pushing for promotion than one almost certain for relegation?

Just for perspective.

Notice how the clubs who have signed the most are in the same mess as us? They didn’t have a problem persuading players to come to them.

Steddyman

I refuse to accept that any contact with Carroll was more than smokescreen. It simply does not fit with what we have always been told ALK and Burnley will be operating. I don’t for a second think there was any serious attempt made to sign him. I suspect the agent contacted Burnley, we talked to him...

Steddyman

Well, we convinced Maxwell to join us. Not sure if we would have been successful with that bid though if we would have been bottom of the Premier League at the time with relegation clauses in the contract.

Steddyman

The Athletic also reporting that Andy Carroll has turned us down. Does it get any more depressing than even Carroll not wanting to join us (thank goodness)?

Steddyman

A story about nothing by nobody. Better panic then.

Steddyman

NO, NO, NO. ALK bought the club. The 84% shareholder appointed the directors and a directors' vote on the use of the club's cash in the bank was carried by ALK directors. The former owners, even though MG and JB are continuing as directors, had no say in how ALK funded the purchase. But was the end...

Steddyman

So, if that article is correct and it says that the first payment to the directors was over £100m and ALK only put in £15m with the rest coming from the clubs resources, isn’t that the same as saying the previous directors found a way of withdrawing all the clubs bank funds into their own pockets?

Steddyman

The Athletic also linking us with Harry Vaughan. Can only imagine for the U23’s

I love Ben Mee. He is everything that is good about our club. Well done Ben.

He isn't rubbish, he is carrying Tarks. Same will happen to Tarks as happened to Keano.

Steddyman

Well Martin Hodge is "head of recruitment", I doubt he's doing it as a favour, and "head of" sort of implies there are others. However, we don't really know what goes on. :D How many years and how many scapegoats have we had now for our lack of recruitment. There is one common denominator that deli...

Totally agree with you. We will have to bring in a similar player to Wood for the rest of the season, not sure who but to try and change our system of play now would definitely end in relegation.

Sure, because what we are doing this season has been working really well for us?

He’s not at newcastle?

I wonder why Newcastle didn’t resign him rather than wasting £25 million on Wood? Emmm…

Andy Carroll didn't score them either.

And he looked dog tired trying to get to them.

Steddyman

I haven’t been impressed with Jay at all since he came back, and I thought he would be an excellent signing for us.

Shame we didn’t move him on rather than Woody,

Steddyman

I’m not sure on that. The Athletic has journalist close to the club and their knowledge is usually spot on.

Steddyman

If Dyche continues to push for older players with no resale value, it is time Pace moved on from him.

Steddyman

From SSN Transfer Centre: Burnley line up midfielder Fofana Burnley are in talks over a deal to sign Lens midfielder Seko Fofana. There are reports of a £14.2m (€17m) bid, although we understand no formal offer has yet been made. Fofana is a key target for Burnley in this window. Translation: Fofan...

He looked good last year too, forms a good partnership with Thomassen, but i think he's 28.

You can say that again.

Or this beast, Ebere Paul Onuachu at Genk, 6ft 7inch last season 33 goals in 38 games this season so far 9 goals in 8 games

Let’s be realistic. We all know our number one target will be Andy Carroll with Ashley Barnes for backup.

Right lads... who do we sign to replace him?

Vokes available?

Steddyman

Or perhaps they were tired after not playing for 2 weeks, then having to play again after less than 3 days?

Steddyman

I don't think the tactics were wrong, the players just weren't fresh enough after the midweek game. Totally different energy levels to what we showed against United.

Steddyman

I don’t think anyone can judge until the crypto actually is released. So little information on it atm, but right now INX looks on the dodgier side of crypto. Most big clubs around Europe are doing this now. It isn't so much about investment and profit as it is about engagement and ownership. These ...

That’s a pretty harsh view.

I am pretty heavily invested into crypto, even I think it looks a bit dodgy.

INX looks like it was made by a 17 years old on his mums laptop

What looks dodgy about it?

Steddyman

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Very forward thinking of ALK and I am very supportive having been a long term investor in crypto assets. I guess this is the problem they will face though. A lot of older supporters will be ignorant to the financial benefits and closer engagement these securit...

Look at Yooshi and DNAxCAT for some tokens still with major potential and plenty of utility in the gaming / metaverse play.

Like anything though they are dependent on BTC holding or going up. When we enter a bear market all tokens will start to dump so get your timing right.

Steddyman

Does anyone have a stream for today. Unfortunately I can't go on today.

Steddyman

Suspect this is another ploy by Morris to wipe out the debt and buy the club back debt free using a third party.

I forgot we had clarets into crypto. Talking of NFT's, I've published my own NFT collection. No, it isn't Bertie Bee's. https://dungeonsnft.io/ These are on-chain generated art NFT's that there is a game in development for (think Rogue). There are very few NFT's where the art and metadata is rendere...

Steddyman

Let’s face it guys, we are going to have to lose another 6 in a row before Dyche considers changing it.

Steddyman

Why has Daz Bentley left, does anyone know?

He is Burnley through and through, and yet he is going to Everton.

Steddyman

What’s with all these links. Have we signed Arry as a consultant? Exciting few days.

Steddyman

Very decent window for us so far. Best that I can remember for some time.

Would be amazing if we got in another attacking midfielder too.

Steddyman

Awesome news. Fair play to ALK, this is a signing for the first team that will definitely improve us.

I hope there is at least one more. As suggested above, Barnes is past his best and we'd be far more effective with another pacey striker.

I know I’m in the minority but I thought Lennon did ok first time round. All gone quiet with him though.

I thought Lennon was an excellent player for us, and a good influence in the dressing room. I'd be happy to see him on a one year deal if he isn't the only winger we sign.

Steddyman

I miss the days we had Frank McParland at the club. The evening we got a sniff we might be interested in a bid for Andre Grey, and the very next morning he was signed. This ******* around with 1 million here and there and slightly increasing terms will always mean we miss out on any quality players....

Steddyman

Big, big 10 days coming up. Time for the talking to stop and the action to start. I don't think there has been any real news in this thread for 20 days now. I want to believe our transfer window will be better with ALK in charge, but I now highly doubt we will sign anyone else. I don't think it is ...

Wouldn't it be exciting if this thread actually contained any transfer news. Can you imagine?

No chance we are in for another centre back, in this window at least…

True. More likely another goalkeeper.

I've clearly just stated. We don't have the staff and we're not organised to take in foreign talent. We've taken in foreign players who were already in the UK, or in Stephen Defour's case, an international player who has played in many countries already. We're now looking to secure deals from young...

I don't know if anyone else watched the football show on Sky Sports yesterday lunch. When I switched it on Paul Merson and a few others were discussing Burnley's lack of signings. Paul's conclusion was that players were just not attracked to a team with the formation (4-4-2) and style of football we...

People will think we dont have ages, but we actually do, 3 weeks is an extremely long time in football.

There's certainly the right noises coming out.

If only we didn't have a history of our transfer window fizzling out to nothing.
