January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[KRBFC]

just read Yusuf Demir loan terminated at Barca and they didn't wanna purchase him for the 10 million euros

[Norfolk Claret]

In a heart beat

[nyclaret]

It’s Jan 5th… why have we not signed anyone yet?

[Row Z]

It’s Jan 5th… why have we not signed anyone yet?

Its the hope that kills us.

[tiger76]

Always thought Jed Wallace would be worth a punt.

Yes he'd have been well worth pursuing, especially as in the event of relegation we'll almost certainly lose Cornet and McNeil.

And given his contract's up in 6 months we'd have got him for a nominal fee.

Never mind we've always got the talents of JBG and Lennon to fall back on.

Looks like Forrest have jumped in with a 2m bid. Be interesting to see what the player does

Would have been a pretty low risk signing, for a low fee and relatively low wages. Even if it didn't work out he'd have been a decent squad player. I'm sure he'd offer more than JBG.

Indeed it will. Forest/Millwall are both mid-table in the Champ, but with a fair wind both could yet challenge for the top 6.

Maybe the lad fancies trying his luck abroad, and Besiktas offer him the prospect of European football I guess.

2m shouldn't be beyond Burnley's range surely, so I can only assume we aren't interested, pity as he'd have been a good pick up.

JBG has been stealing a wage for 2/3 seasons now, and what worries me is even if we go down we're stuck with him for another year, draining yet more money out of the club, and offering nothing in return.

If funds are tight, then Jed Wallace is exactly the kind of signing we should be targeting, and as you right state wages shouldn't be out of our range.

Put it this way if we were chasing a game I'd rather have someone like Wallace on the bench who might just create something, then JBG who's well past his best, good player for us in his first few seasons, but definitely on the wane now.

[randomclaret2]

Wallace is pushing 28 and appears to have some 400 games under his belt, all at Championship level or below. Presumably there must be a reason for that ?

It the question surely is not whether he is better than what we have, but whether he is better than those we are going to be trying to sign?

[tiger76]

Yes but that ultimately depends on who we sign if anyone in this window.

We doffo need a new right winger ...whether we get one, like you say is a different matter ...also a cental midfielder and maybe sell a fringe striker and replace with better ...

[Newcastleclaret93]

Hill has officially signed for Bournemouth

[tiger76]

Ideal window we get CM, RW and a striker, perhaps offloading Barnes, or more likely Vydra, but if we can only sign one of those for me a CM has to be the number one priority.

If we don't strengthen in the middle of the park Championship football beckons, but that position has needed upgrading for at least a season, and as yet we've not managed to solve it.

I think lessons will have been learned last window. I expect a midfielder will be a priority as it was then.

Jamie Vardy was 26 when he made his top flight debut

[randomclaret2]

Jamie Vardy was 26 when he made his top flight debut

Yes, true enough...I think he may even have been a bit older

[welsbyswife]

Glen Little didn't play in the top flight until Reading signed him. Did very well for them but I'm sure he would have graced the Premier League in his pomp. Sometimes just about the opportunity coming along at the right time. Steve Davis was a far better player than Sean Gregan. One got a chance, one didn't. Not always as simple as saying someone never played there because they weren't good enough.

[elwaclaret]

But Vardy chose Leicester amid a fountain of interest, having sailed under the radar, not as a regular in the football league.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Fulham have bid for Fulgini.

Burnley also have bids in for Rigatoni and Farfalle.

that will be disappointing to miss out to fulham

[minnieclaret]

His agent needs to make sure his contract is in sterling if he goes to Turkey the T Lira is in meltdown and annual inflation to last month was 36%

[Browntuba]

Burnley also have bids in for Rigatoni and Farfalle.

I won’t believe they’ve signed until they’ve put penne to paper

Logged in just to like that!

Alan Nixon hasn’t tweeted about Fulham or Fulgini at any point today….unless I’ve missed something.

[arise_sir_charge]

These pasta jokes are ****. Stop it and grow up.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Alan Nixon hasn’t tweeted about Fulham or Fulgini at any point today….unless I’ve missed something.

He replied to someone about an hour ago saying Fulham were the only team to bid for his services. Not sure if it’s been deleted or not.

[LaLigaClaret]

Thought we had already agreed the financials last summer on Fulgini so what happened ?

Steve Davis was far too slow to play in the EPL.

Canneloni deal not be done?

[RicardoMontalban]

Canneloni deal not be done?

Cannoli keep our fingers crossed.

[Guller Bull]

Are you anti pasta?

[TheFamilyCat]

Things cannelloni get better

[MACCA]

Just missed out on Hill who went to Bournemouth from Fleetwood, so wouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

In fact that might be the 2 surprises Ben Wicks mentioned us getting this window.
We miss out on 2 of our targets to teams in the division below

[Shaggy]

To be fair we really could do with some more reinforcements in the middle of the park as our current Midfield is a bit Pasta it’s best.

[Woodleyclaret]

Our signing then not playing new recruits is an issue.Hill wants to play not get games at U23 level so signed for Bournemouth
We need to trust our incomers not sit them on the side for months then expect them to perform well.

[NewClaret]

That, or we’ll be facing religationi.

[alboclaret]

In our situation re contacts, probably relegation and re-build needed. To me it's more than ever we need to utilise the loan market. But our history in this has maybe blocked that avenue when we need it most. IF that's the case then it's a massive error.

[JohnMac]

Have we really 'missed out' on Hill, or is it that we were never interested in him?

[Sleeping Cat]

Our previous unsuccessful loans will definitely go against us trying to secure additional loans for younger players. Teams want game time for their loanee's and Dyche doesn't always provide that. The Drinkwater loan was a bit different, an established player on the decline whose parent team just wanted to be rid of him. on top of this, I do think our style and Dyche's rigid team selection is putting some players off coming also.

If we are offering more than they currently earn it won't.
