I'm glad, he's worth more to us staying until the end of the season than selling him for 20 million

Only if we do actually stay up.

We’re in a really tricky position and not just in terms of Tarkowski.

We desperately need reinforcements, but we needed to do this back in the summer - we’re now left with numerous quandaries at what we’ve said consistently for years, is the most difficult time to recruit.

The 2021 summer window was a something of a step forward when we needed a leap.

[Vegas Claret]

at 20 million Newcastle would be my biggest fear, that's nothing to them. I would hope there is a substantial "Newcastle tax" added to that fee given how much we owe Brentford

£20 million works fine. We've already signed Nathan Collins as Tarks replacement. After we've deducted Brentford's cut, there will be enough left over to sign another CB to cover Mee and Collins.

I reckon Maxwel Cornet, Nathan Collins and Connor Roberts was an excellent leap in the 2021 summer window. Maybe in a season or two's time we will be considering it a "triple jump" success.

It was progress but it didn’t address the engine room, which in a large part it could be argued, is why we are where we are in the table.

Good window but it didn’t address any of the key issues from last season.

Still need 2 x CMs, 1 striker, 1 RM.

After reading the article I had to check who the 22 were in front of him. I was STUNNED to see that the only CB above him in the rankings was VVD, a Dutchman. This will come as more of a shock to the slaggers on here that don’t think he should be near the England side.
The top English CB this season. Well played Tarks.

[Rombald]

One just got in the la liga team of the season after winning the league and the other has 6 months left on his contract after playing for one of the worst teams in the premier league for the last 12 months.

Absolutely nothing to benchmark.

I don’t believe newcastle have hit the 35m fee, it’s less than that according to the usual suspects on Twitter.

Or alternatively one still in his 20's in a position they really need. Irrelevant of the team they are currently playing for.

And yet 2 of the 3 have hardly played

[Rombald]

And yet 2 of the 3 have hardly played

One has been ill and injured, one is awaiting his place when tarky leaves.

[Paul Waine]

And yet 2 of the 3 have hardly played

Isn't the idea with the transfer window to bring in players who are capable of delivering for the team. We've signed players on many occasions when they've had to wait their turn to become one of the regular starters. James Tarkowski and Nick Pope were both signed on this basis - and it didn't turn out "too badly," did it.

Of course, great that Maxwel Cornet has been delivering from his first game. Great, also that Nathan Collins has demonstrated he's a good deputy for either of Mee or Tarks at CB. Connor Roberts, also shows great promise, though also excellent that Matt Lowton has been holding his place at RB.

Neither should we forget Wayne Hennessey, who is proving the importance of a strong deputy ready to step in when required.

Aaron Lennon also showed last night that it was worth re-signing him.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sensible, positive post!

[ewanrob]

Not read all this, but I really hope there has been a lot of spadework done already and we are less reactive in what we do...heres hoping.

[Vegas Claret]

it's open

[superdimitri]

Easy tigers, at least 3 weeks to go before we even can start to get excited...if at all!

[BurnleyFC]

Have we signed anyone yet?

[Gordaleman]

Interesting point about Brentford. They won't get a penny if Tarky runs down his contract. So much for sell-on fees.

The 'Bees' will all be buzzing around the prayer mat this window.

[bobinho]

We will likely be a players last option, so for those of you expecting anything other than outgoings in the next couple of weeks, be prepared for disappointment.

The summer window was as good as we could have reasonably expected. To expect anything more was fanciful.

It will take multiple windows to address our failures over the last 3-4 years.

[ClaretAL]

A bit on Lewis O'brien.... stiff competition though, but good to see we are looking at CM if it's true

[benstone12]

I heard a rumour Juan Mata is being lined up on 6 month loan deal with a view to a deal.

Would still be a great number 10, especially with McNeil and Cornet either side of him.

[Dodobdobodobo]

19 year old Dutch winger Jayden Braaf being released by Man City for a reduced fee as he is out of contract at the end of the season. Similar to Dwight but can use either foot, could be a smart move.

[BenWickes]

All I will say is, as I did last January. There'll be surprises. Good surprises.
I have been not only bang on accurate with telling you this I've been astonishingly accurate but can tell you now. There will be signings and some of those are going to top Cornet's signing. Don't be surprised to see our transfer record broken a couple of times.
I'll leave it at that.
My information has proven itself to be bob on when most of you laughed it off.

I sure hope you're correct here because, as most of us recognise I think, the only way this team is getting out of trouble is with a few quality additions in key areas that have the ability to make an immediate impact.

Not sure what you mean though with your comment on last January?

[KRBFC]

I doubt Brentford will be praying for £2m

I think it would be foolhardy for a club like Burnley to break its transfer record a couple of times in the situation we’re currently in.

Loan with view to purchase if we stay up though? Absolutely.

I see loads of comments like this and don’t quite follow the logic.

It’s as though we spend the money and then the player suddenly has zero value.

You’d like to think that if we did break our transfer record for anybody we’d be able to get the bulk of the money back should the worst come to the worst.

And by spending the money and bringing better players in gives us a better chance of staying up why give up half way through the season

We didn't for Brady, we didn't for Hendrick both recored signings at the time and we lose millions yet again when Vydra walks for free.....there's 30+ million wasted off the top of my head

Plus a loss on our record signing Gibson.

I get what you’re saying, but the player could do his ACL, be a massive flop etc. I always remember as a good example of this, Fulham being absolutely mired in relegation trouble but buying Kostas Mitroglou for £14m on deadline day. He was absolutely hopeless, played 3 games for them then spent two or three years being loaned out.

It just seems risky as there’s no sure fire thing with transfers. Loan with view to permanent gives flexibility to us and the player but is obviously less appealing to clubs trying to flog I suppose.

Every single club in the entire history of football can look at a long list of expensive/inexpensive players that never work out for one reason or another.

Name a club where every signing has worked out for them?

[ewanrob]

Tripps...saying he wanted to play for Dyche again a few months back...at 31 and signing probably a 4 year contract at Newcastle....can't see that happening.

Joking aren't you, we love a mid 30 year old player at Burnley he'll be perfect when he leaves Newcastle

If we are going to break our transfer record, you'd have thought that the names would be out there by now, as Cornet's was.

Some positivity to read on a board seemingly bursting with negativity is very welcome.
It may be bang on. It may be codswallop. But at least it shines a bit of a light when so many are determined to tell us the end of the world is nigh.

Haha...His words

"I want to play as high as I can for as long as I can, but I'll know when the time is right. If I'm at Atleti for another two years that'll take me to 32 and Burnley's the only club that I'd come back to England for.

Even though Howe signed him for us he never got the best out of Trippier. Wonder what formation he'll use to get him playing better this time?

[Norman]

Been watching videos (yes I know lol) of him and he looks a tricky player. Superb vision!

In a better team I think his assist count would be much higher - but we'd need someone to put the ball in the back of the net.

What surprises did we have last January?

The surprise for some were we didn't sign anyone.

Also Mr Pace was surprised at how agents work and what they commanded.

I will say we were looking for 1 or 2 more in Summer , so there's finances there, however our current plight might mean the club don't want to commit to those fees now, the player might not wish to come now and also there could be other sides interested now.

If chances were thwarted in summer, taking covid and the aforementioned into account, its not a forgone conclusion we will get a couple in this time.

I'd like to be proven wrong, but I wouldn't take the transfer record broken twice as gospel.. it's extreamely unlikely

Well it looks like Fulgini will be knocking on to the £15 mil mark. Not about breaking records though.

I've got no idea, as I doubt many others have whether what BenWickes states will happen or not, but he's one of the more trusted posters on this forum, so if he's saying it there must be some truth to it.

As ever with such rumours time will tell, and we'll know by the end of January how successful our mid-season window was or not.

The positives for me is that we are seemingly being heavily linked to signings, whereas in previous windows there was a deafening silence.

[DukeOfBar]

this Fulgini lad was born in the Ivory Coast, so if there's anything in this... (big if??) Max being here might help any potential deal go through

He can play midfield or up front, could be another gold nugget from the French league

The French league seems the place to shop, and Leicester in particular have acquired plenty of bargain basement signings from there in recent years.

Don't know much about this lad, but others in the know seem to really rate him, so let's hope we can get this one over the line.

[Norman]

From the look of him, he looks a creative central midfielder. Something we are lacking.
