January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[HitchinClaret]

I think its more that they can gamble on a £18m signing, we just don't have the finances to do that (or so I'm led to believe)

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Why do fans always put our club down. If Brentford can afford 18m so can we. They get the same money as we do.

They've got an owner to cover their losses, last season their wage bill was 270% of turnover for example.

[RalphCoatesComb]

"Weg" means "road" (or "way") in Dutch. "Horst" is the name of a village in the Netherlands. So, we could translate "Weghorst" as the "Highway to Horst."

"Work" is "werk" in Dutch. "Horse" is "paard."

Could be worse, he may have been with Chris Rea on his Weghel

[Rowls]

Someone to make Mings look quick and agile?

They could sign a potato to achieve that.

[jojomk1]

Van De Beek too

There is a good player there

Could we not compete with Palace on a loan deal (if that is what it is)

Or Diallo, going to Rangers on loan - we could then let Lennon or JBG go to Rangers

[GaryClaret]

Always find this useful too when asking us to match x, y and z in spending:

Top third... Clubs milking owners
Bottom third... Owners milking clubs.

Slight word of caution

Traore has basically snubbed Spurs for Barcelona (well, who wouldn't?)

They will be on the look out for a wide man as well now, and urgently

They have shown interest in Orsic before

[ClaretAL]

Seems a little strange that we haven't heard of any medicals being done yet considering time and work permits etc, usually we have people falling all over themselves to say someone has been spotted.

Unless we have a new location for medicals? overseas?

Can Orsic play on the right?

That's an odd one with Traore, end product isn't that good, although he does terrify defenders with his pace and oiled up arms...

Spurs were wanting to play him as RWB, which from reports he wasn’t keen on.

It’s not the money for being in the PL. It’s ownership and sponsorship opportunities in the capital.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Wout Weghorst took the goal well for Holland here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2hA8kixSUA

[gawthorpe_view]

Dublin!

[Lancasterclaret]

Don't think so

But they have shown interest in him before

Hey, all I'm doing is worrying that we will get gazumped as until he's got a scarf above his head and Fabrizo has gone "Here we go", I am going to worry

[RVclaret]

Chris Boden: Awaiting further news on Orsic and Weghorst but told ‘it doesn’t seem likely at all that he will play for Dinamo — or, indeed, be there — this weekend’. All signs are positive on that front. Still working on Weghorst deal, but hopeful on that

Makes sense. If you were Orsic I'm guessing you wouldn't want to jeopardise having your salary doubled (or more) and getting a big sign on fee if you were to pick up an injury playing this weekend

It’s the hope that kills you

[Culmclaret]

Boden’s normally pretty adept at extinguishing hope so let’s keep out fingers crossed!

[Shaggy]

Weghorst would be a real coup for us. He’s a huge upgrade on Wood. Pretty similar to a prime Peter Crouch who lets be honest was a bloody handful and very effective at his best.

https://twitter.com/NicoSchira/status/1 ... gHkzw&s=19 should put your mind at rest.

[boatshed bill]

To be honest, I don't know why we need Orsic.

[NewClaret]

To be honest, I don't know why we need Orsic.

Compare his stats to McNeil and enlightenment shall follow…

[Rombald]

To be honest, I don't know why we need Orsic.

Yes, why on earth would we want an attacking goalscoring International footballer.

[NewClaret]

Looks like Sevilla are holding on to Carlos. Hope Tarks wasn’t their back up!

[Newcastleclaret93]

Compare his stats to McNeil and enlightenment shall follow…

To be fair I don’t think McNeil has played in the equivalent of league 1

[jedi_master]

To be fair I don’t think McNeil has played in the equivalent of league 1

Spurs and Spain play in League One

[boatshed bill]

Compare his stats to McNeil and enlightenment shall follow…

So, his stats (in an inferior league) are better than McNeil's in "the best league in the world".
It just strikes me as odd that we seem to be stocking up on left midfielders

[boatshed bill]

We have Cornet for that.

[Elizabeth]

To be honest, I don't know why we need Orsic.

Anything in particular you don’t like about it Bill?

There seems to be a lot of good hype about him and everyone seems of the same opinion that we need new blood to replace one or two of our first teamers on both sides of the field

[Newcastleclaret93]

Spurs and Spain play in League One

It was a tongue in cheek comment. More mocking the comparisons being made.

Orsic has played in really poor leagues his whole career.

However his Europeans form and international shows he looks a good talent.

[Rombald]

We have Cornet for that.

Silly me. Only one quality International goalscorer allowed

[bobinho]

Weghorst would be a real coup for us. He’s a huge upgrade on Wood. Pretty similar to a prime Peter Crouch who lets be honest was a bloody handful and very effective at his best.

And a much better footballer with the ball at his feet than he was given credit for.

He plays in the same position as Cornet and McNeil, so where is the need for it unless we have an offer in for one of them.
Truth is we are desperate for decent strikers, not left wingers.

[Spijed]

I thought that's why Newcastle bid for Dan Burn.

[Zom Zom]

With tens of thousands of people to please, some are going to be disgruntled whatever decision is made. Personally I am delighted we are chasing this calibre of player and can hardly wait to see him in our claret and blue, providing we can dot the i's and cross the t's. There is such a strong backbone to the side, and more of what is required to compete at this level, rather than pure leg-work and gut-busting is most welcome. We have been crying out for creativity and a more expansive style of play. Maybe, we will get that with these new additions. Come on Bill, I can't think of anything more anti-climactic than a relegation coupled with a promotion for Rovers. Let's at least have a go at staying Lancashire's number one football club.

We can't sell Cornet, certainly not to another PL side in January.

I genuinely believe we will be relegated if we don’t sign a CM.

I can’t see how attacking players are going to change our fortunes when they will never get the ball in decent areas.

Maybe Dyche is working on a plan B ?

If we get this striker we seem to be working to bring in at the same time it might just work.
Hopefully it’s not going to mean the sale of any current players

[boatshed bill]

I should hope not anyhow.
I'd say that with McNeil and Cornet we have the left side covered for the foreseeable future.
I'd sooner see the money spent on striker(s)

[GodIsADeeJay81]

We are trying to sign another attacking midfielder to provide better goal scoring opportunities and to also add goalscorers to the team.

We'd gotten over reliant on Wood to do the job for us and McNeil had been looking out of ideas until Cornet rocked up.

Cornet is now playing up front.

Westwood is still showing his attacking form and Brownhill is passing the ball off to the attacking players.

So that why we are looking at attack minded wingers etc.

We can make do with our 4 central midfielders until the end of the season, we need better quality wingers and forwards because the best form of defence is and always has been attack.

[boatshed bill]

If we sign Orsic I'd be surprised if he scores any goals in the PL from that wide left position.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

If he's drifting in from the wing and is more willing to take shots at goal, why wouldn't he score?
McNeil has done it.

[Elizabeth]

If these 2 new signings come off I hope it does ignite Brownhill’s game , that would be a welcome by product

[ClaretAL]

Maybe Dwight moves to CM or Dwight left Cornet Right and Orsic CM either way it could be covered by a top class player and problem solved

[clarethomer]

Looks quality
