Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[HahaYeah]

Someone was on way back in the thread, said he will have to get Dyche fit then there's the African Cup so we will see him in about February.

[Newcastleclaret93]

What have you done with the real newcastle you have praised Brownhill and now have him in your preferred starting line up

I think if you are going to play Brownhill Play him to our strengths, get him to sit in front of the back four and break up play. I think if McNeil is shifted into a central attacking midfield role it could work well.

[Newcastleclaret93]

We have also been linked with Marcus Tavernier

From memory I think he is a left back, so maybe this is pieters long term replacement

Talksport now picking up on this.

[Newcastleclaret93]

LW from Boro ?

He could be a LW to be honest I have only seen him play once and it was at left back

[claretspice]

Tavernier is a very good player, and in a very similar mould to McNeil, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was identified as a potential replacement for McNeil should an offer come in that we cannot refuse.

[Ric_C]

What's with all the Left back links?

Our order of priority should be

RM/RW - Cornet?
CM
Striker
RB

Obviously it doesn't work like that in terms of players becoming available, but I'd say LB is one of our strongest positions.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Tavernier is a very good player, and in a very similar mould to McNeil, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was identified as a potential replacement for McNeil should an offer come in that we cannot refuse.

I am adamant that this is the season Dyche moves McNeil central.

Could see tavernier coming in so that we have two LM options in him and Cornet

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Zouma to West Ham is an interesting one

[CrosspoolClarets]

I’m still having a lie down after reading the earlier translation and picturing Dyche on a seduction operation. Not a pretty sight I would imagine

A throwaway comment in the daily mail.

[gandhisflipflop]

"The Clarets are not fondly regarded for their aggressive and direct style of play, though it has retained their status in the English top flight nonetheless."

From The daily mail. Do they mean our tackling players within the rules and a PL record for no red cards?

They really are inept.

Stand and deliver. Your money or your life.

I think there's every chance that we might move McNeil more centrally presuming he doesn't go, but I'd be surprised if we had the money to bring in someone like Tavernier as well as Cornet in this window. Boro will want a pretty penny for him and he's certainly not actively for sale in the way someone like Maitland Niles might be.

Interestingly, I'm fairly sure the chap ALK have brought in to advise them on football matters would have been Tavernier's youth coach at Boro, so there's a connection.

[summitclaret]

Tavernier is a very good player, and in a very similar mould to McNeil, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was identified as a potential replacement for McNeil should an offer come in that we cannot refuse.

At last a realistic option and much more Burnley. Good player and much less risk. Obviously I'd love to sign someone like Cornet though, but whatever happens we must get a starter for the rhs of midfield this window.

They really are inept.

Perhaps they mean aggressive as in "always trying to get the ball to the business end and trying to score, as opposed to pratting about passing it sideways in their own half".

Or perhaps not.

[Woodleyclaret]

The offer we cant refuse is North of £50m.
Gone are the days when we sold players at Happy Shopper prices
Everyone else wants top money and we should be no different

[claretandy]

Wet Spam spunking 140k a week on Zouma is crazy.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Wet Spam spunking 140k a week on Zouma is crazy.

I thought the transfer fee was stupid enough, is that really his wage ?

[tiger76]

Wet Spam spunking 140k a week on Zouma is crazy.

Zouma's decent enough as a defender, but 140k a week is crazy money even in this mad era of spending.

I guess if they've signed KZ then their interest in Tarks will cool.

Probably best for us given we'd have received a nominal fee anyway, and if Tarks stays for this season, then that'll give Collins time to bed in and get to know our system, before he comes into the first XI next term on a more regular basis.

[aclaretinstevenage]

LB, LW, RW is where he can play apparently.

Used to call them "utility players" did they not...kind of like Arthur Bellamy.

[claret2018]

Ronaldo inching closer to Man City apparently. Be great to have him back in the PL, ideally injured when they play us to keep the score down to 5-0

[Spijed]

Get him signed today and get him in the starting eleven on Sunday

Isn't the deadline for Saturday games midday Friday?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Only £25 million isn't it?

I’ve never seen him live. I would want him to play just to say I’ve seen him. Not as though it would change the result maybe just the goal difference.

[mybloodisclaret]

Isn't the deadline for Saturday games midday Friday?

Yes midday on the day before. If he signs and paperwork arrives before midday on Friday he would eligible to play on Sunday.

[Spijed]

Just hope the fax machine has been serviced and is in full working order

[Claret_tinted]

Ronaldo going to Man City just can’t happen imo. His love of United, his relationship with Ferguson and the legacy he’s built with the fans at OT.

I think we will see him return to Old Trafford. He’s a No.9 these days, AM is awful. United also do like a swansong Forward: Owen, Larson, Ibra and so on.

I’m interested in the rumours that see us selling Dwight and getting Delph, Kenny and money.

[dsr]

Yes midday on the day before. If he signs and paperwork arrives before midday on Friday he would eligible to play on Sunday.

With perhaps a delay for international clearance, unless the rules have changed?

[tiger76]

It would be great to see Ronaldo back in the PL, and I'm fairly certain he's never experienced the delights of playing at TM, though I could be wrong on that.

[Spijed]

He'd left Man u before we got in the Prem

[Andreshotboots]

Don’t think he’d be over bothered. Our recent home record against the big boys, in fact against anybody has been rather hospitable..

[tiger76]

He'd left Man u before we got in the Prem

Yes I remembered that fact, the one thing I wasn't certain about was whether we'd played Utd in any cup ties, but if we did it must have been before Ronaldo's time at OT.

[Commy]

I read a few weeks ago that Ronaldo is the first football billionaire. Not sure how true that is.

Apparently his net worth is £500 million, however...

Sky Sports claim,

HUGHES AGREES PALACE DEAL

Crystal Palace have agreed a deal to sign Will Hughes from Watford.

It will be worth £10m including add-ons, with an initial £6m. A medical will take place tomorrow.

Crystal Palace will now target a striker, likely to be a Deadline Day signing.

I think he's got the most followers on Instagram, that alone will be worth a boat load of money every week

There were no talks in Manchester. Burnley went over there

Sort of player we should be sniffing around.

Shame, there's a really good player in there and I think Dyche would have made him awesome.
Other irons in the fire hopefully...

[minnieclaret]

Anybody know who our negotiator would be? No Sean Dyche omelettes yesterday, the man was far too busy.

[Woodleyclaret]

Hughes is no loss we have enough lightweight tacklers in midfield already
Personally I would have got Deeney in

Agree RE Hughes.

Deeney? Absolute gash these days. We’ve enough deadwood up top.

If I had to say one player in the championship last year that looked made for Dyche team it was that lad.
