No idea mate, maybe we think players who play in La Liga and Europa league finals aren't as good as Jack Cork yet we were apparently (who knows the truth) in for Camarassa as he had proved himself at Cardiff :D

My point wasn't really about why we or anyone hadn't gone for particular players, just that we could afford quite a lot of them if we deemed them good enough (which many clearly are)

Not many and the reason is they need the best part of 100k a week to leave the sunshine...irrespective of what they earn at Sevilla.
do they ****, and I gave Sevilla as an example. I could have picked players from Germany, France and Belgium. Amazing how we afforded Defour

I'm not convinced. If they're clearly good enough and can earn more in the PL, the market dictates that they'd be here.

We could only afford Defour because his value was reduced due to his fitness problems.

not really, it's down to clubs to take a chance I suppose. Many clearly don't work out but plenty do - but we've an endless list of players just under Dyche that haven't worked out, **** happens !

Newcastle spending 40 million on that Brazilian is insanity for example, Leicester trying to sign Praet for 20 million is a no brainer as he is real known quality (I'm ignoring wages on this as these two clubs just throw money about)

Barely touches the sides of the cash we've got squirrelled away. Hope we get this over the line, he'd be an excellent addition.

he could have gone to China and earned a boat load more cash - so how did we attract him ? I'll take a stab at Premier League football

Pay Chelsea £5million to loan him-Drinks get paid £50k/week by Chelsea- we pay him the other £50k-job done and he plays for us as opposed to £5million for Wells and £11million for Vydra who don't play for us. At the end of the year he has cost us £7.5 million-BARGAIN

And who do we replace him with when he goes back to Chelsea next year because we can't afford the transfer fee?

I don't think that would necessarily be a problem. Burnley could pay half his wage (£2.5m) while Chelsea agree to pay the other half (£2.5m). And then Burnley pay Chelsea a £2.5m loan fee. That way, the price for Burnley is no more than a year of (say) Hendrick or Cork when their transfer fees are split pro rata, and the wage cap isn't broken.

Of course, that depends on two things - one, whether Burnley think he's worth that much; two, whether Chelsea want to make a profit on the deal (ie. bigger loan fee) as opposed to just getting him off the wage bill.

[Edit] - or do what mdd said! :)

I don't think that that should be a priority in our thinking at present. We need someone for this season and we can start to worry about his replacement once we've got him here.

You seem to have shifted the goalposts from these players being clearly good enough to it's taking a chance and it might not work out, which is more realistic and probably the reason they're not all over here playing PL football.

Joelinton is a good example that maybe the European market isn't always such great value after all.

Cross that bridge when we come to it-if it keeps us in this league another season if that is what we want that will be money well spent (assuming he does well for us)

So he's slotting into Cork's position? Cork to leave on a free in 2020, Defour also out of contract and Hendrick? So what are we to do?

Joelinton is a good example that maybe the European market isn't always such great value after all.
No shifted any goalposts, Maddison from Norwich was a risk for Leicester but he worked out and anyone who had watched him would have said he would be good enough but maybe not to the degree he has proven to be

McNeil was a risk for us but that has worked out

Every signing is a risk no matter the cost

The Joelinton fee is hilarious tbh

All just my opinion though, I've been known to be wrong plenty of times, just ask the mrs :lol:

I'm not suggesting we do what any of those clubs are doing, they are almost throwing darts at it and hoping one sticks.
Pepe was a standout years ago, I've no idea why nobody took a chance on him and to me they will be proven very foolish for not doing so.
Maybe watch some of the foreign leagues this season (not just the odd game) and you will see there are players we could comfortably afford that would walk into our midfield.

edit: I will add we were linked with a bid for Ajax's Ziyech a couple of years ago so we must be looking
So you haven’t got a clue why nobody bought Pépé when you thought it was a “no brainier” and you are not suggesting that we do what all the clubs I referenced do - despite the fact that a number of the players they were buying had decent records playing for their countries or previous teams.

It sounds like you are saying let’s just buy the good players at decent prices and wages and let’s not buy any expensive bad players.
I agree 100% and i’ll email the club first thing tomorrow with this fantastic new initiative. Hopefully we’ll have a few hours before the deadline to implement the new transfer policy.
If you could let us know anymore of these no brainier signings that will go up in value fivefold like Pépé can you let me know and i’ll add it to the email

How would I know why nobody signed Pepe ? Do I sit in boardrooms at football clubs and help them make decisions ??

Plenty of other players have been mentioned on here by the likes of Zikov and Belgian to name just a few. Like I've said to others, maybe start watching some other leagues instead of just the PL and you'll see for yourself.

And don't get me wrong, I think the money we paid for Jay Rod and Pieters are fantastic bits of business - no reason why that can't be replicated

Tall Paul wrote:What don't you think I get?

My post was in response to the person who thinks there are players out there better than our first team squad who will play for under £30k a week. There are plenty who aren't as good that we could sign, like Vydra, Gibson, Wells etc but the we get people moaning that we're wasting money (the same ones who moan that we can't sign anyone good enough).



There probably are such players, but if they're good enough to replace players in our first team (that have proven they're good enough for PL football), other clubs will probably know about them and be prepared to offer them more. They won't play for £30k a week if they can get £31k somewhere else.

That's the reality of the market.

It's also not very cost effective to add £30k a week to our wage bill for what would probably be a marginal upgrade.
The £30k a week isn't particularly relevant though, our wage ceiling is way higher than that.

or maybe they weren't brave enough given his age, his ability was clear for all to see though (not just me) and there are plenty of others TVC. Like I said, we went in for Ziyech at the same time so maybe we thought he was a better/more viable option but he opted to stay at Ajax - that proves we are looking though which is a good thing.

Nice work on the continued sarcasm :D

Spurs, no money due to the new ground, they'll sign players last day of the window like they usually do
City - always going to be a hard market for them but for different reasons - they have to find players that will improve them, money isn't an issue
Watford, signed loads of players last season, how many more do they need ?

No doubt it's difficult but every club has a different situation so to compare them is pointless

One day to go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I just hope we don't lose any of our Top 15 / 16 players

It would be good to add one.

Low expectations I know.
But we are Burnley ........
Some posters really expect too much.
Yes we have a framework .... there is a very good reason we have...

Danny Drinkwater loan might be good for both parties.
Why do posters on hear think we can compete on financial levels?
We can't.

I don't think we are doing too badly doing it our way.
Why cripple a Town Club we are all proud of on - buying over valued expensive might work maybe's. This is not our market.
Hence we sign players with something to prove.
Or Potential.
Or at the tail end of their careers that are proven and want a chance to actually play.

We can't and won't do it any other way.

We pay less wages which puts off the payday journeymen - and this is a good thing.
Bonuses for working to keep us top flight rather than wages.

Bottom line - We are not doing much wrong.

"buying over valued expensive might work maybe's"

Not seen a single poster suggest that.

Out of context - see the full post.
Vegas, read it again.

Your posts are usually worth a view.

This is my view with a day to go to close and seeing our trend with signings.

In a nutshell it's how we work and how we have to work.

I don't think I was taking it out of context, I agree with your post, just saying I hadn't seen a poster suggest us buying over valued expensive might work maybe's (mind you, I've not read the entire thread!)

Ill say it again on the thread because it’s probably been lost in all of the bickering but James McCarthy at £3m is something we could have done in our finance structure. Would have ticked the boxes for me.

Because those managers still land their targets despite saying it.

How do you know we weren’t in for him? Palace would’ve offered him higher wages and the lure of London.

Just been looking through the list of players signed by Championship clubs. How did Knockaert sign for Fulham on a Free? He would have been perfect for us:

Forrest seem to have done really well without spending much (other than undisclosed). We were supposedly in for Adomah last year.
