Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[ClaretAL]

Has this now turned in to the Shrewsbury town match thread?

No mate. It’s a conversation about our current goalkeepers and whether we should be looking to bring a new one in in this TRANSFER window, and whether they would be our number one. Trust that helps.

Helps immensely - thanks

Mister know it all gets his facts wrong again

[RVclaret]

Odd in what way?
They see him as their most creative and best player, naturally they don't want to lose him

Calling us a tinpot club etc, continuously saying he’s 12m+ or nothing (despite actual journos saying it’s 6-9m), basically denying all the reports from respected journalists that talks are advanced. Though I guess it’s only like our fans saying we should have got 40m for Pope etc.

[Zlatan]

Apparently Burnley would expect £15M (yes fifteen million!) for McNeil from palace or WH… Sky presenter said it incredulously, hence the sarcasm…

If Dwight goes it has to be for more than £15M surely

There's an equally weird selection of Burnley fans replying to them tbf.

Somewhere between 15-20 seems about right.

[KefkaClaret]

I think after last season the 15-20 is fair.

Wow are we going to have any premier league quality left over?

Fire sale is ongoing

[Ric_C]

We really need to keep McNeil at all costs

[RVclaret]

Fire sale is ongoing

I think we are likely to be relegated now

[jedi_master]

We need to hold on to McNeil.

Enough have been sold now (bar Cornet, who will go), we need to be keeping the remaining starting players from last season that we have in my opinion (i.e, McNeil, Roberts, Taylor, Brownhill).

It is no wonder they began doing deadline live on tv

[Newcastleclaret93]

Probably not relegated but promotion is certainly fading

Which would be another failure for the owners

[ClaretInLeeds]

The one thing about adding people to your “foes” list is that when people quote tweet them, you can still see the absolute ******** they spout….

[Ric_C]

Maybe just regurgitating info that is already out there

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

I think if we get between 15-20 for Dwight and the same for Cornet then those are deals that need to be done.

Vincent Kompany will have replacements ready to come in, and it puts us 50-60m in profit.

If Pace even gave him half of that to spend then we should be in good shape to create a very productive Championship team.

Even though the majority of people think it should be.. the target IS NOT to get promoted this season, it would be a bonus, and that is something VK said in his very first interview when he took over.

We are rebuilding our squad and changing direction completely.

Patience is going to be needed.

He works for footy insider now, so when there’s an insider article it’s usually followed up with his own tweet

Honestly, have a day off.

Yeah it's the same sort of behaviour tbh.
If he leaves there will no doubt be a bitter group who'll say they're glad he's gone, wasn't good enough etc, just like we're seeing on here

I don't see why nobody seems to be able to grasp that fees and down in this window, and nobody is going for what they would have been worth pre-covid.

Yes outwith the really rich clubs there's not many big money moves happening, just maybe football is coming to it's senses financially at long last, and the days of fairly average players going for more than they are actually worth is finally coming to an end.

What purpose does sport play if the target is not to get promoted?

Remember lads, it's not about winning, it's about turning up.

‘Some typical transfer mischief going on, but I’m told Burnley are not in talks with anyone about Dwight McNeil. Only five or so weeks to go…’

[timscoot]

If we can get 35 to 40 million for Cornet & Mcneil we will take it .

Much as I would like us to keep Cornet

We need it to fund the clubs financial
stability going forward and the rebuild .

[Lancasterclaret]

Hope Chris is right and there is nothing in it

Really would like to keep Dwight if at all possible

[Socrates]

Honestly, have a day off.

Genuinely would buzz off him taking a lunch break at this point, never mind a day off.

[IanMcL]

Bart Verbruggen is expected to undergo medical tests at Burnley on Wednesday as the Anderlecht goalkeeper closes in on a £4 million move to the Championship outfit, as reported by Belgian publication Le Soir.

[agreenwood]

Utterly confused now the Dwight rumour has been put to bed.

Are we getting relegated or not?

[RVclaret]

Our chances of promotion are back on.

[IanMcL]

Lots of new O'Hare articles today. We are obviously going to get him. Wonder whether it is Cornet, McNeil or both, who will be sold.

[agreenwood]

Muted him. Was overdue.

I asked my mate will we be relegated and he said no.

Bit confused as he is Polish and no means yes in his native tongue, not sure if he was answering in English or Polish so will have to say maybe / maybe not

[Rileybobs]

But the word ‘relegated’ means ‘win the championship’ in Polish so this really needs clarification.

[mkmel]

Amazing how someone who declared he doesn't know if Boris Johnson is a liar as he had never lied to him, knows how much a transfer fee would be even if both clubs declined to say

So jakubclaret is a Boris Johnson is a liar denier? Nurse! Nurse!!!!!

[Jakubs Tash]

Muted him. Was overdue.

Please can you explain how to do this? I keep looking but cannot work it out. TIA

[warksclaret]

We have been desperate for a right footed attacking wide midfielder and have played JBG, Hendrick, Brownhill, McNeil and Cornet there. The latter two are left sided players, the other 3 were not effective there

Haha posting an opinion has rattled a view of the golden oldies I see.

Apologies, everything is well. Promotion is definitely happening

I don’t think anybody minds you having or stating an opinion maybe even twice/thrice but when you have the same opinion voiced on ******* repeat on and on and effing on. It does become a tad wearisome

[claretonthecoast1882]

Where has anyone said promotion is definitely happening ? I would say most are bored not rattled, it is like you go out your way to be negative about anything, why do it ? Even in stunning weather you sit there miserable.

Is golden oldie the opposite of hyperventilating child ?

[FCBurnley]

Dwight is in Portugal with the squad. Hopefully that is good news

[Newcastleclaret93]

Genuinely what is upsetting about what I said?

I said we are selling all of our premier league quality talent - just a true statement

Then someone else mentioned relegation and rebuffed that saying promotion chances are fading based on these sales. What exactly is so radical there

I’m getting told off by posters for saying Promotion is fading. So I assume they believed promotion was still very much on the cards.

[Guller Bull]

Genuinely probably nothing but you have the same negative whines about most things. Can you not see that?

[claretonthecoast1882]

We were 7/2 last week on 1 site and now 11/4 now on the same site.

As a big fan of stats what would you say that means.
