January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Vegas Claret]

Dont know Dyche then

nonsense comment

[Goody1975]

My only possible thought on Gosling coming in as fourth choice central midfielder is if one of Cork or Stephens is leaving during this window, they are both out of contract in the summer (we do have an option with Cork for a further twelve months).

A first choice central midfielder is still a major necessity for us and we all know he isn't that.

[gandhisflipflop]

There can’t be much road left for the can to travel

[boatshed bill]

I would have thought that he would have been some way down any list had he even been on there.

CT, can you please stop making these facile puns... "down"
Eider of us could have done it

What's the point of bringing Gosling in as 4th choice, even if one of Cork/Stephens departs we'll still have 3 ageing midfielders, and Gosling would be another signing with no resale value, and yet more wages down the drain in my view.

Agree a younger first choice centre mid is vital, not another squad filler.

[ClaretPete001]

I would go further and say the next 24 hours is massive for Burnley football club and the biggest for a while

I would say two things. If the club can't do better than this then it is hard to justify the method used to purchase the club. You don't need to be a Wall Street trader to know that you can't shop in Harrods on an Oobidoo budget unless you know where the bargains are.

And, secondly, I agree relegation would be worrying not least because we would probably lose Tarko, Mc Neil and Cornet but also because the remaining first 11 would be the first in Premiership team in history to be able to travel to the game on a bus pass.

Not saying it's the case.

Many on here have decided he's already signed cause Nixon mentioned him, it makes no sense but if there is any substance in it at all I was trying to think of why it would even be considered.

It seems that Burnley fans are living up to their reputation. No matter what someone does, it'll always fall short to those idiots that expected, no demanded, 4 or 5 players in in January. At least I am happy with the efforts Mr Pace and co are putting in, but if you aren't, deal with it withour appearing to be the 4ssholes we are, collectively, thought to be.

If we were relegated we wouldn't be a Premier league team, nor a premiership one, so no history would be being made....

I don’t think anyone has said 4-5 signings.

I think most would accept the bare minimum. Which was two signings before we sold Wood. Now three as a minimum.

1 would be a start. as it stands we're currently going to come out of this window in a worse state than when we entered it.

Assuming we get WW in tomorrow that still only leaves us in the same position we were prior to the window opening.

CM & RW still not strengthened yet again.

Still time for things to happen, but the clock is rapidly ticking.

Re Stephens - signed him 4 years after wanting him

Same with Gosling

[ClaretTony]

Eider of us could have done it

And without even realising I had done

Premier League hasn’t been the Premiership since 2008

Have we signed Gosling? That was quick.

[Vegas Claret]

are you trying to suggest you genuinely believe if Garlick had given Dyche 10 million to spend instead of short of 1 million Dyche would still have gone for Stephens ?

[BennyD]

It's January so, unless you have unlimited millions, it's not going to happen.

[Milltown1882]

We were going to spend 12 on Orsic and now we’re signing Gosling so yes that’s correct.

[Newcastleclaret93]

We just got 27m for wood

We have millions apparently

[claretlegend]

Does it look like other than Weghorst, Ramsey is our only (very slim) possibility tomorrow then?

[boatshed bill]

Gosling....?
Just treading water!

[ClaretTony]

Have we signed Gosling? That was quick.

No and I wouldn’t expect us to

[Vegas Claret]

you've said two things, and both are seemingly incorrect.

[MT03ALG]

The 27 million may help to pay off Mr.Pace's alleged debts to the club.

[ClaretTony]

Anything we might be working on has definitely been kept quiet

[Jakubs Tash]

£27m? Was it not £25m? I’m not saying you aren’t correct but I didn’t see one report at the time of sale that said £27m.

[boatshed bill]

No and I wouldn’t expect us to

Having seen Helm play we'd just as well keep our powder dry and forget Gosling, and (in the event of 3 CMs being out) give the lad a go.

[HahaYeah]

That sounds suspiciously like you know something has been kept quiet...

[arise_sir_charge]

Well, seeing as he’s just spent £12m of it and seems intent to try and spend the rest that seems as unlikely as it is a nonsense comment.

[alwaysaclaret]

Which tbf is absolutely how it should be, but doesn't exactly fill any of us with the greatest of confidence that anything will happen, as some have said on here, you can just see it tmrw, interview from dyche - : unfortunately we've not been able to add, and we go with what we have, that's definitely not the case.

If we do sign up the fans will be spitting feathers

[Milltown1882]

We’ll see.

[boatshed bill]

Especially when they see they wage bill!

[Lancasterclaret]

We are about to sign Weghorst, and just failed to sign Orsic, and because someone who knew nothing about either deal suddenly mentions someone we really don't need, most of you decided to go into full doom mode?

Just think about it for sec, who we've been linked too, and who is coming in, and fit bloody Gosling into that?

It doesn't fit

At all

I think if Gosling signs he'll be one of the Top Guns at Burnley.

[TheFamilyCat]

No and I wouldn’t expect us to

I don't expect us to but the collective meltdown is hilarious.

He created that account today and had one follower 3 hours ago.

Thats very good

[boatshed bill]

20220130_221017.jpg

if this is true, and absolutely new, we'd never get the deal "over the line" by tomorrow

[warksclaret]

Thats very good

Does he play off the shoulder or on the wing-Gosling that is

[bfcwest]

Thats very good

Thanks, that's very kind. I've just edited it to hopefully make a bit more sense, but you're clearly smart and got it anyway, I did wonder if anyone would!

[ClaretTony]

Not meant to sound like that. I just don’t think we are trying to bring in those we have been linked with such as Origi & Gosling.

[jurek]

I think we have to put our faith in Pace and Co. in trying their utmost
to bring in decent players who will improve the team and hopefully help
us get a few wins and stay up. How successful the club may or may not be
we'll have a better idea after tomorrow and in the next few weeks.
Or maybe the last few weeks? More than likely.

After Watford we've got a tough run of fixtures but I'd like to think
that we'll have a goodish run from say 6 games where we can 10 or more points.
If we can still be in with a shout with 6 game or so to go so I'd be reasonably happy.

Makes for an exciting end to the season.

For Christ’s sake, is this what this message board has been reduced to, posting tweets from some bloke with 18 followers who signed up tonight?

Some folk on here are worse than kids on Christmas Eve!

Wow, I see people are almost at cult status in believing everything Nixon says... unbelievable!

[Quickenthetempo]

Can someone ban the word Gosling and all the crap jokes it comes with.
