Has Mr Nixon any story on Burnley tomorrow ??

Yes. He posted about it this morning at 8:56am, but for some reason it doesn't let me share it.

Steddyman

I hope that's the last time we see those 3 centre backs play in those positions. If we are going to play those 3, we'd be better putting Beyer in front of the back 4, just like Rodri. He was outstanding and Beyer has all the qualities to play the same role. Of course it won't work until we get Matt...

The official announcement can only be a technicality at this point. As someone said above, both managers announced the transfer the other day.

Just like Townsend was.

So after Odobert, Ramsey and Lukebakio, surely we are a left back away from being finished in the window?

I know there’s been the Lokonga rumour but nothing in the press about that at all.

We need a Barnes / Weghorst replacement. Big man to hit balls to when tippy tappy isn't working.

Lukebakio set to sign according to reporter in Germany

Just looking at Youtube, he looks very wasteful and has a poor first touch:

Some accounts on twitter saying Twine is wanted by Hull on loan.

Anyone else unable to watch episode S1:E2 on Sky? I finished the first ones, can watch 3 and 4, but 2 always comes up with a screen saying press button to upgrade then a technical error.

Just passing on what I’ve been told. Hope so as both would bolster the midfield.

I really hope you are right. Those two would transform our midfield.

Hamer is apparently 15m. Souza is costing 10m. How have we arrived at Sheff swapping Berge (12m) for those 2 at the same price?

Pete doesn't say that, he says they are swapping Berge for Hamer for £12m + £2m in add-ons. They have the money from Gyorkes too.

Steddyman

Sheffield United going after Gus Hamer with the money from Sander Berge according to Pete O'Rourke:

They want £12 + £2m in addons apparently for him,

Vinny have a word. He wouldn’t be fighting relegation here….

But, if he isn't prepared to fight when needed, he's not the sort of player we should be looking at.

I'm not sure what people were expecting if this is considered a "wasted" transfer window.

A blind man on a galloping horse can see that we have had a poor window so far overall and that VK and the recruitment team really have to pull something out of the bag in the remainder of the transfer window!...

Let's just let our recruitment team under Pace get on with their job. They've not let us down yet.

I think a few deals have got away from us. Obviously because of the fees asked. Clarke … Flemming… Hamer look dead in water and Lokonga is not looking good either. As we are now looking and Ramsay from villa and the Brazilian lad. Looks like our first and second options are gone we are onto our thi...

For those worried, Phil Bird did state multilple times that both Benson and Cullen are both injured. He never said that of Weghorst though, make of that what you will. Someone on twitter said Townsend failed his medical, but someone on here said he was warming up with the squad. They can't both be t...

I'm so confused about the number of wingers we're signing!

We are going to ask the Premier League to make all matches 2 x 60 mins, and play a different 11 each half.

Steddyman

Full article. Exclusive By Alan Nixon Burnley and Aston Villa are close to a £12 million deal for Aaron Ramsey - with a buy back clause agreed. The shock swoop by Vincent Kompany should go ahead as the bulk of the transfer is now in place, including the young Villa midfielder’s terms. Burnley are ha...

Steddyman

I don't think we play the smokescreen game at all. Instead we identity multiple player for a position, then progress all of them at once. If multiple offers get accepted, then we have a decision to make. Very smart business.

Steddyman

Bloody hell fire Steddyman. Can I interest you in some of my magic beans? Those Ajax fans are laughing their cocks off. I didn't read some of them that way, but could be a language barrier thing. The key is we are buying potential and the ability to learn. We have a very strong coaching team, so th...

We are close to signing Lokonga and Townsend and allegedly bid for 2 full backs. How is that quiet?

How could it be taking so long to announce Townsend? Are we stringing him along in the hope we get a better option?

This was about McNally - it was on a separate thread but it looks like that thread has been merged with this one confusingly.

I had wondered why we were talking about transfers on this thread.

Steddyman

From what I have seen Tella hasn't pulled up any trees in their friendlies. He has been played in different positions but doesn't seem to get involved like he did with us. It might be that their style of play doesn't suit him. That or is heart isn't in it, so he isn't at his dynamic best. Either th...

Fkin told you all, but nah, everyone was like 'overreaction, let's wait and see'.

News at Ten last night. Sunak and Joe Biden doing a joint press conference this evening.

My guess is the opening up of more oil and gas refining off our shores, coupled to making the contracts available to US companies, were a requirement of a special trade deal.

Young keeper leaves on loan.

Please explain why you are posting transfer information on this thread?

Steddyman

I don't think is daugher could have posted that without the support of Burnley's social media team. The editing and camera work are too well done.

I think NT must be a done deal, and this is part of the reveal.

Love Sean but you can’t help but wonder if his style does adversely affect his ability to attract players to improve a team.

What a difference to a few windows ago . The amount of names and numbers we are seeing is crazy.

I think the difference is, young exciting players want to work with VK and his team to develop them.

Lokonga looks one hell of a talented player. I hope we can pull this off.

I'm not sure we really need that in the PL. Foster worked really hard tonight, I'm not sure we can afford a CF who spends the majority of his time on the half-way line. Weggy doesn't do that though. He is very aggressive in his play, and frequently feeds other players. He will be required in some g...

He's 34 and never had pace to begin with.

Footballing intelligence, technique, composure, reading of the game, passing all still there but he's just too slow off the mark now.

Passing isn't there, he wastes possession all the time.

Steddyman

Cork however is past it. Sloppy passes and a card a game on average.,

Steddyman

Foster, Twine and Kolo having an excellent game. Foster just needs a goal for confidence.
