Summer 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Rileybobs]

You made a point of Kompany never managed in this country, I made a point that counts for nothing, Tell me you didn’t read the post you quoted without telling me you didn’t read the post you quoted

Of course it counts for something.

[Wokingclaret]

Of course it counts for something.

Pep & Klopp hadn't either

[Rileybobs]

Pep & Klopp hadn't either

No managers have experience when they start managing. I have already made that point. What is with people today?

Do you agree with claretmov that experience counts for nothing?

[ClaretMov]

Would love to know how successful a career you’ve had.

A house with 14 room's including six bedrooms and four bathrooms should be a hint for you

[claretandy]

I see this tread has descended in to bickering again ..

I was waiting for someone to wade in with the bickering comment. It’s called discussion mate. If you don’t like it then this probably isn’t the place for you.

[Wokingclaret]

Well we needed someone who could lift the doom of relegation, looks like he can do that

[ClaretMov]

Rileybobs is it Red dot in the diary week for you this week

[daveisaclaret]

How many bedrooms has Dale Stephens got?

No, I don’t diarise my period.

Not sure but he needed a garage to store his car in for 12 months.

It gets beyond tedious, doesn't it?
We've just signed a highly respected and successful former top class Premier League player as our manager, and there are some already undermining his credentials.
Kompany has just signed the hottest property in League one last season and some are wondering if Twine has what it takes to step up to the next level.
Why can't we all just take in what our great club is trying to achieve instead of sucking the life out of every thread.

[Quicknick]

Not so many years ago we had the opportunity of signing a non-league striker but balked at the 1M fee. Regarded it as too much of a risk. I'm pretty certain Jamie Vardy would have done alright.

What has Dale Stephens got to do with summer 2022 transfer window ?

[HahaYeah]

Oxford United agree deal with Burnley for Luke McNally – reports.

This has gotten a bit silly to be honest. Not sure if you’re referring to my posts but I haven’t undermined Kompany’s credentials and I haven’t questioned whether Twine can make the step up to the Championship.

It’s as if people are skim reading what I post and having an entirely different conversation in their head. Very strange morning of interaction on here.

Better to ask the posters who brought him into the discussion. But it seems like it was to compare previous transfer activity with the current strategy, which is relevant but not entirely fair considering the totally different context in which we find ourselves.

[RVclaret]

This twitter account (23k followers), that seems to be focused on Irish players only, is suggesting McNally to us is done and could be announced tomorrow.

[AwayClaret]

So Ballard is off due to not being able to agree terms allegedly and now we're in for McNally? Didn't we have a bid turned down for £1.75m?

[AwayClaret]

Or was it £1.5m? Can't keep up on this thread

[RVclaret]

Yea possibly, though all paper talk so hard to know exactly.

From reports I’d be very happy with McNally. Getting rave reviews for being a genuine ball playing centre half, yet also a very good defender.

[ksrclaret]

I think the reports were that we’d had a bid of £1.5m turned down for McNally, with suggestions that Oxford were holding out for £1.75m.

Sounds like we’ve got him for £1.6m which seems a fair compromise. We’re certainly a lot faster at getting these deals done nowadays. I’m old enough to remember the days when we’d chase a player all summer having had 6 bids turned down.

Haven't we chased players for a consecutive summers?!

[s6t9a2f3f]

Were just "in a better place" regarding unproven signings. It's easier to suggest a lower league player might be able to handle the championship standard, its totally different signing one to make their presence felt in the Premier League. In the prem we couldn't afford or attract a proven quality top league player or even say gone to Fulham then in the championship and use our clout to take a Mitrovic or Wilson off them. We were just stuck in the middle fiddling away.

The first five having been under £500k

Has Wendy finished with it then??

The is a really good point - much easier to make signings and to take a risk in the Championship than the Premier League. Feels like the shackles are off to some extent and I like it that Pace and Kompany are looking for youth - it's risky but the right strategy given we've still got plenty of experience in the squad.

[warksclaret]

Thats another storey

[Smile]

I'm wondering if we've already signed our second player, but the club are wanting to spread the announcements out over a few days.

[ClaretMov]

I know, I bet he wished he'd never asked the question now

Would be very unlikely I would have thought - it would inevitably be leaked.

The only strange thing I can see is you thinking my post was about you.

I'm old enough to remember having no idea who we were trying to sign until it was in the paper and we'd done it.

[Nori1958]

Twine didn't and he had signed by Friday

[Lancasterclaret]

Fair play to Notts, agreenwood and Rileybobs for trying to inject some realism into this!

[taio]

On Friday it was pretty certain in the media he would be signing

[Rileybobs]

Fair play to Notts, agreenwood and Rileybobs for trying to inject some realism into this!

In hindsight I wish I hadn’t bothered.

I'd says it's very likely even though some on here want confirmation as the ink dries .

Certainly seems like we aren't quite the open book we used to be regarding transfers .......almost as if we used to trade in public .

[Zlatan]

Are you a house maid then Mov?

I agree with this, I do think we need to add a real quality forward though and that will cost money. Skimping on £2m signings wont work in every position.

I'd sell Roberts in an absolute instance and look to do a permanent deal with Man United for Ethan Laird.

[Stockbrokerbelt]

For me it’s all positive, if you listen to VK’s views on the chairman, board & staff is very good & coming from someone who appears to have a lot of knowledge around things that go on in football. He is glowing around the Burnley vibe & spirit, then you add to that good, young hungry players with a good back room staff with a smattering of proven prem players & things are really set for a strong challenge for promotion. Ultimately I would like to see more depth with a bit more pace up front with a playmaker in midfield.

Agree with this generally - we need a striker that gives us something different - although I'd keep Roberts and I've no idea about Laird! We know that the successful sides in the Championship have a 20+ goals striker. I'm not sure we've got that at the moment.

[Lancasterclaret]

In hindsight I wish I hadn’t bothered.

Swimming against the tide on here is always fairly rough!

I think people love getting carried away, and a bit of realism isn't what they are looking for

[Ric_C]

What makes you think everyone else wants to read this little tête-à-tête?

[tiger76]

00AFC63C-039C-428F-A46C-1A18EAC90A67.png

Another one who plays in midfield with an eye for goal, seems we're determined to be an attacking side under Kompany anyway.

23 and OOC next year, so I can see why we'd be interested in a potential bargain.

So you are not excited with us signing Twine? Ask fans from any other Championship club and they'd tell you he would improve them.

Interesting stuff these links...because I haven't a clue who they are! Next season is going to be fascinating...I suspect it will be one extreme or the other.
