January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[warksclaret]

They throw more money at it, than we could ever dream of.
Recruitment, Parker have nothing to do with it, just money.

Don't think Christie went for more wages-he preferred them to BFC

[kentonclaret]

Do you think we are done then CT?

Stick the fork in.

Burnley are done.

[claretburns]

Put it this way, I'll be more surprised should we sign someone than not.

But I won't be standing down yet

I don't know whether to read this that there is a slight possibility, albeit slim, but a slight possibility we are talking to someone I hope.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Success in business is at times studying how your competitors do business-it might be a restaurant, a retailer or a football club. Please AP can you approach Bournemouth to see how they research, approach, qualify and move forward in signing players. I dont recall them failing with anyone this window and they have signed players linked with us, plus players who would have been an upgrade on ours. Plus did they not snatch Ryan Christie who chose them not us last window. There has to be something to learn from their experience. We are currently no threat to them and would be flattered .Maybe its as simple as the persuasiveness of Scotty Parker

Rich owner covering their losses which are over £140 Million

[warksclaret]

Sounds like you’re edging your bets either way.

The team will be actively speaking to clubs, agents, players right until they can’t.

Plenty of time left.

Yes and don't forget the customary fax to all player agents at 10.45pm-that should yield some interest. Assuming we ordered the paper that of course

[Woodleyclaret]

We have Lowts at rb with Bardsley as cover
Roberts can play wide right as he does for Wales
Dwight can play wide left .Cm is Brownhill and Westwood
Back four of Lowts Collins Mee Taylor/Pieters
Up top Max and Wout

[Lancasterclaret]

Jesus, we now have posters telling us to follow the business model of Bournemouth

[Conroy92]

IMO, not signing two or three extras this window, will result in us being forced to offer contract extensions for players we may have wanted to walk away. It's a very slippery slope this, there's no way with the current contract expirys we can rebuild in the summer.

[spt_claret]

So first of all it was Garlick's fault and now Pace

There's one common denominator over all of these transfer windows - Dyche playing his rigid tactic of 4-4-2 with long balls up to a target man and hoping for the best. Plus his allegiance to so many players who are now just not up to it - he most likely still sees Westwood and Cork adding value to the side with Stephens a reliable back up (just like Kevin Long)
As for JBG and Lennon

Thank goodness Pace took some lead with the signings of MC and WW this season - they would never have been given a thought by SD

Football has evolved but sadly our manager hasn't, and I would guess a lot of potential signings are not coming to BFC because of him and his old fashioned ways as much as anything else

Worryingly, I fear the same will happen in the summer

Had an incomplete thought in my reply and can't edit- If they were so at odds and Dyche is such a problem then why would Pace continue to commit to Dyche? And surely that would represent an oversight by our apparently otherwise flawless chairman in your books?
Football is not so simple as Person A is the problem, Person B is the saviour, if only Person C played better all would be well.
We're in this position for multiple reasons, which is why 1 signing alone won't fix it, and why tempting as it might be to scapegoat any 1 thing or person as an easy fix or hide in blind optimism, the truth is a much bigger mess. Snap decisions in a panic rarely help in those situations, quite the opposite.

[Pearcey]

Jesus, we now have posters telling us to follow the business model of Bournemouth

We’ve got plenty of money to pay the FFP fines though!

[DukeOfBar]

Still time for Mr Pace to be interviewed driving out of gawthorpe, window wound down after pulling a 'rabbit' out of the hat..... watch this space

[BurnleyFC]

Not good is it. But at least (so far) we have kept Tarkowski, Pope and McNeil.

I’d pimp Tarkowski out if there’s enough time left. Any fee for him is better than nothing because we’re dead certs for relegation now, in fact we’ll probably finish bottom.

As you say yourself we have signed WW and MC. The former from the Wood sale and the latter from the residue of the £50 million quid not spent buying out the club.

So, even by the logic inherent to your own post it seems that we are able to recruit quality players when we have the money but the money has not been invested in playing assets.

[nyclaret]

Let’s be honest we’re probably down now considering Newcastle and Everton’s signings.

[ClaretTony]

I don't know whether to read this that there is a slight possibility, albeit slim, but a slight possibility we are talking to someone I hope.

You can read it as I don't think there will be any further signings. That's what I believe is the case but there is always a possibility of something happening in the next five hours.

[Richardsbfc]

Strange. Comment deleted for posting a bit of optimism.

[gsyclaret]

Agree with Roberts, put him right wing

[KRBFC]

We're probably 1 player short of giving it a real go, shame but whatever aslong as fans on here are happy

[Paddy1882]

Think the Orsic u-turn has knocked the stuffing out of them, weghorst and Orsic would have taken serious planning, time and resources to line up which in turn certainly looks like unless things change, other areas have been deemed not as important rightly or wrongly. Just can’t see anyone coming in between now and 11pm now.

[Vegas Claret]

Newcastle have completed the signing of Aston Villa defender Matt Targett on loan

[AlargeClaret]

Sorry, as you think. The stain on Burnley’s reputation is undeniable, who wants to play for fans that are perceived by many as insular racist morons?

Dry your eyes sweetheart. If you’re really that bothered by the views of a few metropolitan luvvies and a tiny minority of ignorant bellends ,perhaps you could seek solace in a more enlightened environment. The world of plastic is your oyster .

[Richardsbfc]

Doesn’t take long for transfers to happen. Keep the faith. They’ll be working on things now and right till the end.

Plenty of players available for loan in a World Cup season.

[Lancasterclaret]

Well, one is owned by a billionaire and the other by a state who lose a billion and would never notice

That does make a huge difference sadly

[Pearcey]

Palace are signing young striker Luke Plange from Derby for £1m.

[CombatClaret]

Newcastle have completed the signing of Aston Villa defender Matt Targett on loan

Good for him, was never going to play over Dinge but better than whoever is fit enough to play LB at Newcastle, Paul Dummet?

[MACCA]

Major signing for them...

[Milltown1882]

Twitter rumours of Jed Wallace as a last minute deal. Highly doubt that’s the case when he’s been linked about 26 times.

[colne-claret]

I would be thrilled with that.

It does but I doubt whether either had £80 million in the bank at the end of their last financial year.

[evensteadiereddie]

And the views of the "few metropolitan luvvies and a tiny minority of ignorant bellends" are proved correct by the insistence of some of our fans booing the taking of the knee and others, incredibly, refusing to go to the Turf until the knee-taking stops.

[ClaretAL]

I'm sure there is another thread for that mate, can we try and keep this on topic rather be presumptive of thoughts of someone you don't know.

[boatshed bill]

Isn't it the case that had we not had money in the bank the takeover couldn't have happened?

[evensteadiereddie]

Palace are signing young striker Luke Plange from Derby for £1m.

So Rooney's claim that no player would leave Derby "100% guaranteed" was nonsense. We should have a go at Knight/Lawrence/Sibley if Derby are unloading players.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Knight and Sibley are a yes from me

[evensteadiereddie]

I'm sure there is another thread for that mate, can we try and keep this on topic rather be presumptive of thoughts of someone you don't know.

Absolutely - I was just setting the record straight. He aired his thoughts, I challenged them........mate.

You can’t help yourself can you

[Andreshotboots]

I think my sense of dissapointement is fueld by the fact that it feels like we've somehow wasted an oppertunity this window.
All the noises coming out of the club pre January were that there were some funds available to the Manager, then the massively unexpected, and unplanned bonus of the Wood money from Newcastle came along.

To me, this was amassive lifeline thrown to us by one of our nearest competitors, and we simply haven't taken it.

I'm not interested in we tried, we were unlucky, we had a deal agreed stories, I'm interested who is available to play for us on February 1st, and it sadly looks like one new player.

Take into the mix the Vydra situation, then you could argue we are actually worse off.

Can anybody else now really see the leftover net funds from the Wood sale, and whatever was avaialble pre January being pumped into the team now in the future,i think we a ll know where that money will now end up..

Just so dissapointed, it just feels like we've had a chance to get on a Titanic lifeboat, but we've decided to go back inside and listen to the band...

Anyway, bring on Watford... UTC

[Lancasterclaret]

It does but I doubt whether either had £80 million in the bank at the end of their last financial year.

But it doesn't matter what they have in the bank Pete, with all the respect in the world

They can spend what they want, knowing full well that the consequences will be paid by the billionaire owners

We can't, and we tried in this window (from what I can gather) to increase the squad size by bringing in players we needed that would improve us

One came, one turned us down, and one had a change of heart after it was all sorted

There has to be some criticism (certainly with Ramsey) but not as much as being spread, and as usual, lots of it completely over the top

[IanMcL]

Very slow today all round. We have one of the very few signings so far.

[Safron]

I fear you are correct can SD sell the club to potential new signings? Not really a high profile ex player with any clout! Just an old CB from a 4th division club! Look at lampard or Gerrard no problems influencing players to sign. No matter what club fat Sam was manager he would have 4 or 5 in no problem

[randomclaret2]

It’s the Brad Jones with 59 followers

The lack of followers on this chap's new twitter account was discussed on here last night

[claretburns]

Rooney didn't say that did he? I thought it was the administrators had guaranteed him no player would be sold without Rooney's permission? If so permission has been given and Flange is leaving.

Not stood down though!! Here we go!

[randomclaret2]

Being bottom of the League would suggest our need for signings is greater than most other clubs

[Milltown1882]

If this window was under Garlick he would be getting nowhere near the easy ride Pace is getting for this month. £13mil profit in the market with a like for like signing and the glaring gaps that Stevie Wonder could see need filling still remain. Shambles of a window.

[claptrappers_union]

This is really concerning. The squad needed improving...

[thelaughingclaret]

How long does a medical take? If it takes say 4 hours then if we don’t hear anything about any incomings in the next hour then we know our day is done.

I mentioned the fact that the Derby situation was nonsense a couple of times in this thread. No-one came back to advise further on this. My understanding of this situation was that the administrators had a legal responsibility to dispose of assets i.e including players to obtain maximum cash to offset the debts owed. If we had offered a reasonable bid it should have been accepted as long as it left Derby with enough players to fulfil fixtures. Shinnie I believe was sold to Wigan for £30k yes that right £30k/ Its a mockery.
