Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Muric quote from earlier today :

Manchester City’s James Trafford and Antwerp’s Jean Butez are among the other names linked with the Clarets, while Bailey Peacock-Farrell’s future is also uncertain.

When asked how it would feel to play in the Premier League, Muric grinned: “I’ll tell you how I feel if I start!”

Interesting, could be a tongue in cheek comment, but I suspect there’s a bit of realisation for him that he’s more than likely going to be second choice.

[HahaYeah]

That's what I took from it.

Expects to be here as number two.

[Ziggy Stardust]

You really think he's already accepted he will be number 2 to someone we haven't signed yet? He knows someones coming in for competition for his place. He's a pro sportsman he will fighting tooth and nail for that spot but I guess CM knows better!!

[davideyresleftear]

Having players compete for a spot is considered healthy for every other position. I don’t get why GK is always considered different, and that there should be an undisputed number 1.

Never played the position but is it possible that it’s between the ears. You wouldn’t want your keeper sweating that any mistakes and he’s out.

I don't want the keeper getting complacent either because there's no one of sufficient quality to challenge him

People see/interpret things how they want.

Can't believe he'd accept being 2nd choice after moving away from city on a permanent to be first choice somewhere.

Absolutely.

I kept goal in senior football for about 20 years. I would say that my best seasons were when I was told I'd be first choice, it's good for the confidence.

Exactly, he knows he will have to be on his best form. Hence why we need two decent keepers.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Wonder if Muric’s night out in Munich towards the end of the season didn’t go down well with Kompany?

[superdimitri]

Muric was asked in the recent club interview on Clarets+ and YouTube. I also thought it was pretty telling he said 'if' I start.
Just shows how open Kompany is with his players, and it's great to see everyone is kept on their toes.

[Claret Toni]

I recall England Captain Bobby Moore's comment to England Manager Sir Alf Ramsey following the final international match of a season - "See you in September."

..and Sir Alf's response - "If selected."

Perhaps Muric is just grounded.

[KateR]

Great name for a burnley signing, Jean Butez, only a matter of time before he'll be known as Jam or Chip.

Surely it would have to be Chip lol

[Swizzlestick]

Intriguing clip on Instagram where Bailey PF is asked to describe Muric and he calls him ‘a big dope’ and a ‘session wrecker’ which Aro agreed with! Wonder if VK is a bit fed up with him not taking things on board or being in his own world a bit too much. For the record, I think he’s earned the right to be number one for next season but we’ll see.

[Burnley1989]

Some of these assumptions are fantastic

[123EasyasBFC]

All the assumptions about muric, it seems pretty simple that kompany doesn’t see BPF being close to number 1 and he wants 2 keepers who can fight to start each week, muric shirt to lose right now, if a new keeper comes in and impresses in training and Friendlies then they will start

[Swizzlestick]

Some of these assumptions are fantastic

We are very, very bored. Season can’t start soon enough. Bad enough we have to tolerate cricket in the off season.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Man City submit 90m bid for Rice.

They will literally be unstoppable next season

[Cooclaret]

As a Claret fan but with no concept of BFC finances whatsoever...am I right in understanding that :
1. Most of our takeover debts have been repaid by the sale of players and parachute payments on relegation, plus a few quid left over to buy our current new players.

2. From monies received for being Champions and promoted to the EPL, plus anticipated fortunes in premier League TV, and are we now practically solvent as a club?

Only asking as everything was all Doom and Gloom this time last year, doing a Wigan, and on the slippery slope to oblivion!

Christ on a bike be quiet!

You’ll upset the clique with that kind of positive attitude towards Pace and the board.

[Quickenthetempo]

Man City submit 90m bid for Rice.

Rice wouldn't get in my City team at the minute.

They look like they could lose some big players though, to the Saudis and other clubs.

[ClaretinJapan]

Hoping we sign Kyogo Furuhashi so I can watch every game free next season.

[Quicknick]

I'm not sure I hope we we sign him. SPL: Lol

[Vegas Claret]

Gundogan is a huge loss to them

As you seem unable to express yourself without blasphemy perhaps you should act on your own advice and keep quiet.

Amen.

[Blyclaret]

This thread has gone from a discussion about rumours and links to outgoing and incoming players …. To an agony aunt …. My cock is bigger than ur cock thread. Can ye not just stop. For once stop.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

It’s easy when you’re big in Japannnnnn
Tonight
Ooooo the eastern sea is so bluuuue

[ksrclaret]

For God’s sake I hope we sign someone else soon

Thank God there are some more rumours coming out now

Christ I can’t wait for the season to start now

[claretonthecoast1882]

Burnley are plotting a move for Gabriel Jesus & Victor Moses

[Anthonini]

I prefer the cod and trout jokes. And they sure weren't funny.

[Newcastleclaret93]

See a few Leicester fans seem to think Iheanacho could be coming to us.

Would be an interesting signing

Anything substantial or just speculation because of the Kompany link?

[IanMcL]

Butez = Stumble

[Lancasterclaret]

I'm not sure, but didn't Ihenacho fail miserably in the lone striker role, and only really excelled for Leicester as part of a two (with Vardy)?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Anything substantial or just speculation because of the Kompany link?

Seems to be based on a report by Tribal football the other day.

[jedi_master]

Iheanacho has proven to be a slightly better than 1 in 5 striker in this league, but I would imagine a lot of those performances have been from the bench also which probably makes his stats better than they appear. I wouldn't say no but unsure what salary he is on - he'd be a decent loan if that was possible.

[daveisaclaret]

Iheanacho would be one hell of a signing. Think Leicester would have been a lot better off last season if they'd accepted Vardy was past it earlier and gone with him.

[Darnhill Claret]

Iheanacho had a quite remarkable spell of goalscoring in the Premier League in the second half of the 21/22 season when he had a sustained run of starts in the team. Think Vardy was out injured.

[ArmchairDetective]

What's the reliability of the source of the Iheanacho link?

[Lancasterclaret]

Other news, Bayern Munich has submitted a £70 million offer for Harry Kane

Zian Flemming 'Multiple bids' from Burnley....2

Zian Flemming 'Multiple bids' from Burnley....2

https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1186082969?-9 ... _topic_top

"Millwall have rejected up to two offers for Zian Flemming from Burnley this summer"

So is that one bid or 1.5 bids or maybe two at a push. How many would you class as multiple? Ladies?

[burnmark]

Looks like something is about to be announced on Club’s Official Twitter page. Could be a new signing…….

[whiffa]

Inbetweeners parody, classic!
