January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[quoonbeatz]

Really really poor if we only get Weghorst. In fact it’s gross negligence.

yessssssss, finally the gross negligence cry.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

I’ll be gob smacked if we signed four. I’d be very, very surprised if we signed three. I’m currently expecting one and hoping for two.

That’s worrying we needed 3 or 4 even before we sold Wood.

[RVclaret]

Why would it be gross negligence when we’ve clearly worked hard to bring in quality players?

As my boss at work tells me, you don’t get paid for trying, it’s about delivering results.

It’s good to know we want quality players but I don’t buy the fact there aren’t players out there who would improve us. JBG and Lennon offer nowhere near enough. We’re crying out for creativity in midfield. These are facts known for a long long time. Yes Orsic deal collapsed but as others have pointed out there should have been a contingency for this or moved for him quicker - given our desperation for new bodies in due to our woeful form and league position.

You have to be realistic though

Two or three a window, especially this one is realistic

[Jakubclaret]

Why would it be gross negligence when we’ve clearly worked hard to bring in quality players?

Probably because the net hasn’t been cast out wide enough not far enough isn’t true, you don’t invest all your time into chasing 1 or 2 unlikely targets & end up with nothing when the window slams shut, not capturing orsic has probably strengthened weghorst hand because they’ll know we are even more desperate, we go on a merry dance or are led on a merry dance (1 of the 2) with no viable alternatives it’s woeful recruitment.

[minnieclaret]

JBG isn't up to it anymore

He could be if he was ORDERED to get it in at his earliest opportunity. He makes space and then turns back and the chance has gone. Especially if WW arrives just get the bloody thing in the mixer.

[RVclaret]

yessssssss, finally the gross negligence cry.

You might laugh but it’s negligence which had led us to the position of having 10 players out of contract this summer, the oldest team in the Prem and 1 win in 18 matches. To then repeat the same transfer mistakes in this window would be really poor, in my opinion.

[Taffy on the wing]

There's a lot of petulance and flatulence being posted on here this morning!
Orsic has decided not to sign.......get over it.....next.

How do you know there isn't a contingency?

[Pearcey]

I’m chuffed that we’re having a good go to be honest. Every manager says January is a hard window and it’s easy to see why.

[ClaretTony]

If you thought we needed that many then you were always going to be disappointed

[taio]

Some people on here saying 4-5 signings. Pie in the sky stuff.

[RVclaret]

How do you know there isn't a contingency?

Just going off Tony’s expectation of 1 signing which is Weghorst.

How do you know we haven’t been working on the Oršić deal for some time? This didn’t start when his name appeared publicly. The club thought the deal was done and weren’t expecting what’s happened today.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Bottom of league winning one game all season so far tells me this. The team desperately needs some fresh faces! We all know where the key weaknesses in the team lie in centre midfield, right wing and up front (now doubly so after departure of Wood).

[ClaretTony]

I think you need to stop taking posts out of context.

It was never going to be that many. I was hoping for two, increasing to three with the Wood sale, but four in this window was never happening.

[Elizabeth]

As we’ve seen this morning it’s folly to have expectations. We are fans nothing more, nothing less . Let Pace get on with it

[Vegas Claret]

As posted earlier.
If Ramsey goes to CP and that scuppers the Van De Beek move to same we should be straight in for him. He wouldn't even need to move. He could get the Ashx2 taxi.

Sounds like Everton have gone in for VDB today on loan

[AfloatinClaret]

On the upside, now that Ash the Bash has finished playing in that Tennis tournament in Australia (Congratulations on the win Ashley!) he should be available to play again now.

[NewClaret]

I’m chuffed that we’re having a good go to be honest. Every manager says January is a hard window and it’s easy to see why.

Me too. Pleased that

We’re looking much dilute her afield
The quality of player we’re linked to has increased significantly
Pace is pulling out all the stops to get deals done. I can accept some won’t be possible, I just want to know that as much effort as the lads put in on the pitch is being replicated in the boardroom.

[LaLigaClaret]

There's no chance we'll sign 4 in this window, if that's what you're expecting you're bound to be disappointed.

A striker to replace Wood is essential, CM would be nice, but we can possibly get by with what we've presently got, and a RW should be a priority now the Orsic deal has collapsed.

Realistically we'll get WW in, and perhaps a CM on loan, but I'll be if we get more than that.

I don't think we will get four either but that was what we needed as soon as Wood was sold.

[Lancasterclaret]

Sounds even more promising regarding our Dutch striker

Were you not one of those expecting 4 or 5 signings? Im sure you said 3 for the first eleven and 2 for the bench. Apologies in advance if you didn't.

We’ve got our Dutch striker, subject to the medical.

that's one of the best auto-corrects I've seen in a while

[jedi_master]

Excellent.

Cornet back and hopefully we can add some craft from somewhere before the end of the window for the centre of midfield.

[NewClaret]

Could’ve been worse

[Vegas Claret]

Need a right winger to supply him now !

[Mala591]

Bottom of league winning one game all season so far tells me this. The team desperately needs some fresh faces! We all know where the key weaknesses in the team lie in centre midfield, right wing and up front (now doubly so after departure of Wood).

I agree. So why have we just wasted so much time and effort trying to sign a left winger?

Have to agree with this. Vydra 'running on empty', Gudmundsson finished certainly at this level and perhaps the one lower. The right wing position is so obviously evident, along with central midfield but there appears little or no urgency to address them.

[Jakubclaret]

A slightly different slant to that is the money isn’t there to address that urgency, with the best will in the world if the pot is insufficient that’s where you are.

[NRC]

Prediction:
- sign Ramsey on loan
- sign Lovrić
- sweeten the Lovrić deal by having his Mrs play for Burnley Women

[tiger76]

In an ideal world yes I'd have liked more incomings, but that was only going to happen if we moved some on. firstly to generate funds, and secondly to free up places in the 25, with Wood leaving that leaves us with 23 I believe, so a striker and a midfielder/right winger would be the essentials for me.

And it appeared we were on the verge of acquiring both before the Osric deal fell through.

Little or no urgency? We’ve been working flat out to try to bring players in. We might not have succeeded as yet but no way am I having it that there has been any lack of urgency.

[It Is What It Is]

Whatever happened to our Youth system? It was the first and best in all 4 divisions when Bob Lord was about. Just seems like the scouts are just looking at old internationals who had pedigree in their day but not now.
Surely BFC have been recruiting through the system over the decades but it seems it has all come to grinding halt.
www.lastminute.com springs to mind.

CT, an old friend of mine used to use the phrase ‘you can’t educate pork’. It’s quite apt today.

[Jakubs Tash]

We’ve got our Dutch striker, subject to the medical.

So the medical is today then? Can’t think why they would wait if the deal is at that stage.

Or the fact that teams in the UK and also locally to us spend millions of pounds on 16 year olds and offer them wages that is on a par or possibly more than the majority of our first team?

[NRC]

Carroll to WBA - thank f*** for that

[HahaYeah]

Dyche himself recently said words to the effect that they were working very hard to bring players in.

[Spijed]

Sounds like Everton have gone in for VDB today on loan

Another club that signs players without ever knowing whether they're a good fit for the manager.

Get Dunne back he's just scored for QPR

[KRBFC]

Lack of urgency in the first 3 weeks for sure

I thought that originally there was supposed to be funds made available before we got the £25m for

[ClaretTony]

So the medical is today then? Can’t think why they would wait if the deal is at that stage.

Don’t know what you mean by wait. I believe he’s flying in today which will possibly mean tomorrow for medical at a guess. We will probably announce it on Monday.

As we’ve seen today, virtually done deals can collapse at the eleventh hour but I’ve heard nothing to suggest anything is going wrong with this one.

[HollandsPies]

Carroll didn't score today. Just saying.

Try as hard as they want. No results yet
