January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[boatshed bill]

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.

Reminds me of the youtube stuff on Grosicki.
The domestic leagues they play in are nothing like the PL.
Please remind me of one goal scored from a wide left position into the far right corner of the goal scored by Dwight McNeil..

[RVclaret]

I’d like to see

Weghorst
Orsic McNeil Cornet

That’s if they sign but it’s a 4-2-3-1 when attacking / 4-4-1-1 when defending.

[Newcastleclaret93]

It looks like our team against Watford will be:

Pope
Roberts, Tarks, Mee, Taylor
McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Orsic
Cornet, weghorst

[Rombald]

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

It must be your positivity that keeps you going. There really is no pleasing some

Apparently anyone can alter this, so someone could put Padiham Fc should they so wish.

Sad I know, but there are weirdos out there.

Realism, Mr Rombald.
You rarely see those type of goals in the PL, from the very best players.

Ah so you want a specific type of world class goal scoring.
Personally I don't care which part of the goal it goes in, because I'm happy enough just to see them score a goal.

If you want someone to smash it in diagonally across some top class GK's on a regular basis then you'll never be happy with who we sign.

[RVclaret]

Cornet scored 2 in less than 90 minutes from wide left v Leicester and Southampton. Try again.

[Reecey1987]

Brownhill suspended

Brownhill suspended so it’ll likely be Cork.

Its not realism. Its pessimistic.

When there is some positive news you always get 1 attention seeking kn0b who tries to go against the flow. Wind you neck in and have a day off please boatshed

[ecc]

Hazard used to do it week in week out.

[minnieclaret]

It looks like our team against Watford will be:

Pope
Roberts, Tarks, Mee, Taylor
McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Orsic
Cornet, weghorst

With Ramsey on the bench.

[Elizabeth]

Dreaming?

I know it might all come tumbling down on us but it’s good to have a transfer window that gets us excited. If Pace pulls off these signings to follow up his successes in the Summer window things will look far from the grim scenario others are trying to paint on other threads

You need to watch EFL on Quest, on a Saturday night. You’ll see 3 curling into the angle of post and bar every week.

[NewClaret]

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

He’s a LCB. I assume they also want a RCB. Although not sure what Carlos is tbh.

I totally agree.

We will see by Tuesday whether their is any substance in these rumours.
I hope we land a few targets.
For me, I'd like 2 outright strikers and a centre-mid.
Or one striker, centre-mid and right wing.

[boatshed bill]

I'm not attention seeking.
I am expressing genuine surprise that we are looking at a 3rd left-winger.

Let’s hope they are done and dusted and we are not counting the minutes down on Monday night

[Culmclaret]

What happened to that flight from Zagreb to Manchester via Dublin?

[Rowls]

What happened to that flight from Zagreb to Manchester via Dublin?

Caught up in Brexit red tape in the Irish Sea.

[Lancasterclaret]

Worth noting that as a club we need to move for players that we need and (crucially) when they are available

But it will be interesting to see how we line up if these two signings happen

[RVclaret]

They are all versatile and can play anywhere across the front, it’s great to have that.

[boatshed bill]

you may very well be right.
I'd sooner see a recognised striker there myself, but I don't pick the team.

[Boss Hogg]

FFS They are versatile players who can play in a number of positions. They may be naturally left footed but can use both. So what. It’s about having options. imagine not being satisfied because a player isn’t just classed as a CM or a Winger or a Striker.

[CrosspoolClarets]

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.

If we just focus on injury time at Arsenal we saw both our wingers get the ball in decent areas - and waste it three times trying hopeful shots.There were dangerous passes on in all three instances, not taken up.

That’s why we are strengthening these positions, to get a cutting edge. A Defour type would also be great, but in my view isn’t the priority.

This. Any of those balls to Cornet (and Orsic now) and we bag a last minute goal.

[KRBFC]

We'll have a real focal point upfront for the first time in a long while with Weghorst and blistering pace and goalscoring threat around him. Keep it tight and we'll have the ability to absolutely blitz sides on the break.

[DCWat]

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.

We’ve been overrun most of the season with Westwood and Brownhill as our midfield two. A huge part of why we find ourselves in our current position in the league is because we failed to address the central midfield issues in the summer. It’s been a glaring and growing weakness for over a year.

I’m not against the two likely signings and certainly don’t dispute a need for reinforcements in both positions, but if we fail to reinforce the centre of midfield, I fear it will be a big mistake.

There have been plenty of links to suggest it’s an area we are looking at, but for me it’s an absolute priority.

The best form of defence isn’t attack in the Premier League, certainly not for a team with a more modest budget. That sort of approach night see us scoring a few more but the goals against column would sky rocket.

[FulledgeClaret]

Realism, Mr Rombald.

you obviously don't watch much Prem football then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDbN1CD ... hamHotspur
funnily enough the second goal in the video is Son cutting in from the left scoring into the right corner for one of these goals that you rarely see and if you watch all his goals in the clip there's a few coming in from wide left or right and he isnt even the best winger in the league.
you obviously have an issue with us buying a player who has changed games(v spain at the euros) at international level and has a strike rate of 1 in 2.5 albeit in a inferior league and 1 in 3 at Europa league level from a wide position. Cornet is being used as a forward to great effect but hadnt played there much before coming here I think i will leave it up to SD to decide where best to play Orsic if he signs.

[Elizabeth]

Central midfield has been awful this season in an attacking sense , I don’t think many would disagree with you. Too many passes back and not enough forward.

The benefit of getting new attacking players in the team is that it should result in players being put on the bench who are no longer able to do what they used to be able to do.
I think you underestimate the significance of this .

i've just watched all Hazard'#s goals for Chelsea.
One from wide left with the right foot.
Lots when he cuts in, mostly left footed.

I have no issue with it, just surprised. I keep saying this but there you go.

It’s been pretty poor in a retention and defensive sense as well. I’ve been surprised just how easily teams have found a way through us this season, very in Dyche like. I put much of that (not all) on central midfield.

Without wishing to be negative, i wouldn't be surprised to see a very familiar starting line-up even if we have two new players.

But left-footed, not curled with the right.

That was a great game, Pope was amazing.

Good point, it's one thing signing players, but they have to be on the park to affect games, and we all know Sean is reluctant to throw guys in straight away, however in our predicament I'm not sure we've got any choice but to play them.

For all the praise our defence got after the arsenal game, we yet again failed to score, and unless we quickly change that stat we'll struggle to attain the wins we desperately need.

Cornet returning and hopefully the capture of a couple of newbies could be the fillip we all want to see and have been crying out for for ages,

[Spijed]

Hope it's not one of those situations where it's a player just using us to get a new contract.

[Rowls]

This idea that Dyche won't get guys into the team quickly is a well and truly overstated.

If we sign these guys (& hopefully a midfielder too) it would add a new dimension to our play. They might not make the starting lineup immediately but they'll be in the team as soon as possible.

[TsarBomba]

Few conflicting reports surfacing that Orsic deal isn’t done, fee has not been agreed, and he will play this weekend.

Yes that has happened a lot but only as the second half has worn on. In my opinion too many old legs around them. For some reason Dyche has resisted sending on re enforcements in that area when we have started to be overrun.

A report suggesting €10m bid rejected & he plays on Sunday.

https://sportske.jutarnji.hr/sn/nogomet ... i-15150744

Mislav Oršić will play against Rijeka! Dinamo is doing everything to keep Mislav Oršić in the blue home, he refused 10 million euros offered by Burnley!

This is currently the most important information from the Maksimir forest before Sunday's derby with Rijeka. By the way, are we already slowly getting bored with the stories about Oršić and his possible departure to the Premiership, to Burnley? Maybe we are, but that story is still circulating in Maksimir's courts, Dinamo's top scorer in the last four seasons is being discussed every day. It was also discussed on Thursday.

So the goods are still 'hot', regardless of the fact that the Maksimir club rejected the offer for its best goal scorer, so we are simply forced to inform you every day about the possible unfolding of the story. That is why we emphasized the first sentence in which we stated that Oršić will play against Rijeka, and also that the blue club rejected the lucrative offer from the Premiership. However, it is not yet known what will happen by the end of the transition period. Maybe the offer is getting thicker, maybe Dinamo is changing their minds .... And the information about Oršić is flowing like a waterfall literally from hour to hour.

On Thursday morning, there was information that Oršić would eventually end up in the Premiership. The source was managerial ... Then new news followed, one catching the other like a mouse cat. What was succus? Dinamo does not want to sell Oršić, but it is still not over, the line cannot be drawn yet. However, some determinants of (impossible) work are known.

The first reads; Mislav Oršić wants to go to the Premiership, to Burnley! It doesn't matter that they are last on the table, they could play in the Championship next season. Mislav is already 29 years old, he sees this opportunity as probably the last opportunity to play in the Premiership, which is his great wish. The fact that according to some sources he could earn between 1.5 and 1.7 million euros a year is not negligible.

But the biggest transfer problem is ‘handle 40’. Apart from Dinamo, Osijek and Rijeka have so many points. Dinamo did not score points in the fall, in the spring they will fight frantically for the title of champion. They are afraid in Maksimir that the fans would never forgive them for selling Oršić, without winning the title in the end. Oršić is from the category of players that Dinamo cannot sell ad hoc, without a clearly defined plan of who will replace him. Yes, there are some stories about the amount of transfers and the dynamics of payments by Burnley, but according to our information, that would be 'ironed out', it is not crucial. The Blue Club has enough finances for a self-sustaining life anyway. The Blues are afraid to sell Oršić so as not to lose the race for the title!
