January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Boss Hogg]

I’d have preferred to sell Tarkowski. His head is the clouds most games. Wood has been off form but he gets crap service. He will bang them in for Newcastle. Madness selling your best proven striker at this level to a relegation rival when we score so few goals. The team sheet looks poorer by the week. Hopefully Leicester match is off because the potential starting eleven doesn’t fill me with excitement.

Release clause met.

[MACCA]

Dyche - Hi is that Vokesy

Also Dyche - Hi is that Crouchy

[RVclaret]

Surely we bring someone in before the must win home game to Watford. Not holding my breath.

[nyclaret]

Any striker brought in now won't make his debut till March anyway.

[bfcmatt]

Dyche - Hi is that Vokesy

Also Dyche - Hi is that Crouchy

Always said if you're old enough you are good enough. I wonder if Benson and Hedges are available

[ewanrob]

it's a release clause - we had ZERO say in the matter after it was put in place.

We are all aware of that, but the fact your rival for your place in this league has just swiped your main striker is nothing less than laughable...CSM

[ClaretMov]

Reverse it would you be happy signing a forward for 20+ million that's scored 3 goals in his last 20 league games

[Firthy]

I think I'm past caring. The only thing worse than not signing anyone is not signing anyone and selling our only decent striker (even if her has been crap recently) As much as I like Vydra he doesn't score goals, our only goal scorer is in Africa for the next few weeks. I'm not convinced we will sign anyone decent this window and if we do the damage will already have been done by the last day of the windoww.

Tarkowski has had a couple of poor games this season, would has had a hatful.

[Jimmymaccer]

Yep money the key for he who can’t hit a barn door at the moment but with his recent rant when subbed, Tarkys strolling demeanour pending new club, you wonder if there’s trouble in the camp…………theirs certainly not that strong jaw team spirit at fortress Turf Moor….

Onwards and er well upwards……….thanks Chris for all those offsides, all the best with Geoff and his mates on the bench collecting yer pay cheques…..

And hello………

JayRod!

[LoveCurryPies]

Hope we have a new incoming super striker.

[Sutton-Claret]

Dyche - Hi is that Vokesy

Also Dyche - Hi is that Crouchy

How about

Also Dyche - Hi is that Andre ?

[yatesybase]

Woods contract was up in Summer 2023 and at the age of 31.

Skysports News are reporting that he had a £20m release clause only valid in the Summer months, It’s now reported that Newcastle have paid £25m for Woodys services because the 20m clause wasn’t valid in Jan, Hence the extra £5m

For me it’s great business, I wasn’t his biggest fan but thank you Chris for all your efforts as a Claret ……


Who want’s Divock Origi ?

[kentonclaret]

Stats for Chris Wood in the PL this season so far are 3 goals scored and ZERO Assists.

So much for all the talk of being a foil for Cornet and setting up chances.

£25 million KERR CHING.

25 million for a 30 year old with 3 goals to his name. Proper panic buy

[Top Claret]

I think Tarkowski might be the next to leave for a fee, now that would be a decent bit of buisness as we have a suitable replacement in Collins

Writing is on the wall and it spells relegation and it sounds to me that Pace isn't taking any risk so that we have a fighting fund for a promotion push next season. To throw money at players in January would be ridiculous when we don't have the funds to compete with the likes of Newcastle and most others at this level

[alwaysaclaret]

Sky sports news reporting we're targeting 2 strikers from abroad to replace lump of wood.

[ClaretMov]

I wasn't wrong in 2021, I'm not going to break so early in 2022...

Believe me it's 25 million

[elwaclaret]

Believe me it's 25 million

Yep I’m getting that vibe from Twitter, they’ve paid £5m to get him before seasons end when the £20m release clause kicks in.

[alboclaret]

Imagine being richest club in the world and buying Chris Wood.
Hes been good for us but c'mon.

They are literally paying 25m to attempt to put us down. He will be surplus next Yr, not that he'll be bothered then with massive wages.

It would be quite something if they still go down

[BleedingClaret]

Sky sports news reporting we're targeting 2 strikers from abroad to replace lump of wood.

At least it’s the 11th January that this has happened and not the 31st, which is when we usually start to actually try sand sign players, so we do have time.

[SkiptonClaret]

Sky sports news reporting we're targeting 2 strikers from abroad to replace lump of wood.

That could mean south of Birmingham for us.

[Vegas Claret]

all sorted

[CnBtruntru]

Hope we have a new incoming super striker.

[CnBtruntru]

Crouchy, you gotta love a trier

[CnBtruntru]

31 pages and we still haven't heard of any signings or even whispers of interest anywhere.

[RVclaret]

31 pages and we still haven't heard of any signings or even whispers of interest anywhere.

Sky reporter said we are looking at two strikers overseas and we are targeting pace. Nixon just said Fulgini might be one of the two foreigners although initially he reckons we wanted him on loan, which may have now changed.

Dyche - Hi is that Vokesy

...

[BobSykes]

If that Crouch tweet is genuine then I think we should at least ask the question. Indeed, even if it's not.

Blimey. Wood may have been having an awful season but even so he offered the possibility of a goal at least. If we do go down let's hope it's at least been confirmed before the Newcastle game is played because he's bound to score against us. It would be gutting if he relegated us - and effectively twice in one season (through his form whilst for us, and his form whilst with our rivals!)

[BLH_Claret]

How about

Also Dyche - Hi is that Andre ?

….The Giant?

[Taffy on the wing]

Wow something is happening!
If Wood wants out....... i think we're better off cashing in.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

I’m so happy at this I’m actually giddy. This is the biggest rip off since Cotterill got 2.5 mill from Southampton

Chris Wood will have had to play a whole host of World Cup Qualification matches for NZ before then, all condensed into a short space of time, so no guarantees he won't get clattered and injured representing his country.

[Somethingfishy]

If we've got 25m for Wood at this point it is remarkably good business. We will surely replace him and allows us that little bit more wriggle room for signings. However if we somehow manage not to replace him then the proverbial will hit the fan. I have faith after the summer window. We certainly need a change up.

[Steddyman]

Right lads... who do we sign to replace him?

Vokes available?

[IanMcL]

If that is the case, then all I can say is Mr Pace had better sorted cast iron replacement already!

[Gordaleman]

Vokes available?

At least he put the ffort in.

[Somethingfishy]

Looks like one of Dyches key targets is set to sign a contract extension

What a bummer, we missed that one.

[superdimitri]

Would anyone take Gray back?

[RVclaret]

Would anyone take Gray back?

Absolutely NOT. The exact opposite of the type of signing we need to be making.

[buzzclarets79]

Would anyone take Gray back?

Gray absolutely not.

A “Gray” type player, good movement, pace and a good finisher with a better first touch than Gray, around 23-27 yrs old absolutely yes.

Crying out for pace in attack so we can stretch teams.

[superdimitri]

The way Dyche likes to set us up we need someone who can hold up the ball and bring others into play. There's some farfetched target men who we could only dream of signing but realistically players like Mitrovic, Solanke or Dykes would join us.

We could also plan on going with 1 striker and bringing in a midfielder instead. Maybe a winger.

[BFC123]

Ludovic Ajorque. 6ft 6, 2nd top scorer in Ligue 1 with 10 goals (and 6 assists), playing for Strasbourg so won’t be on big wages. Would be worth a punt as a direct replacement for Wood.

[Newcastleclaret93]

This is a deal I could see happening.

He’s actually not bad with his feet either for a big man

He’d be good, quite quick for a big man as well.

[Dark Cloud]

As well as looking at replacing Wood, we must not lose sight of the fact that CM needs a huge boost and at least one, but preferably two starters were urgently clearly required before Wood went and they still are.

[leightonjameslegend]

Nixon believes we will go in for Fulgini on a permanent deal now we have extra cash..a striker like Ajorque would fit the bill.
CM will be a loan I believe, Barkley or similar.
Maybe 1 other on loan too.
4 in with hopefully Roberts given more game time and Cornet to return might be the boost we need.
Personally believe we are odds on to go down but never say never!
