Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[Vegas Claret]

Mcnally and £7m I'd say tops, Mcnally worth £5m, hamer I'd say £12m

McNally is worth 7 million to everyone other than Coventry

[eastcoastclaret]

Weghorst re-linked with Everton. I just can’t see Dyche wanting him after failing to get him to work here?

https://www.90min.com/posts/transfer-no ... an-11-7-23

I'd doubt he'd want to play for Dyche again.

[jojomk1]

Just reading that Newcastle are planning/hoping for a mass exodus of fringe players
Including Jeff Hendrick - he is still contracted to them for this next season
Also wanting to move on players like Jamal Lewis, Ryan Fraser and Matt Richie

[LongsideClaret]

Errr…

Re. Maatsen the other day:


Manning:

Happy to acknowledge this. As I said, we met with him after he had already almost gone to Leeds. Haven’t heard who the other Prem team was that was in for him according to Martin but we were most certainly one.

That BS article also says Ashley Young will rebuff interest from Burnley. No way we are trying to sign a 38 year old.

Young is signing for Everton, Sean gets his man at last

Talk on socials of Leeds wanting flemming now to, really want us to sign him, think he has what it takes to make the step up

[HollandsPies]

Coventry fan I know rates Hamer very highly. Would be gutted if he left.
On Gyökeres '..... very good player, but doesn't half miss some chances ...'

Pretty much my view on the two players.

Much more excited about the prospect of Hamer than Gyokeres, for that exact reason.

Hamer is their key player in my opinion.

[Tricky Trevor]

BBC now have the Hamer link up.
Bruun Larsen being linked with Saints.

[spt_claret]

I'd doubt he'd want to play for Dyche again.

How do you figure? Weghorst started every game under Dyche and all his goals and assists came under Dyche. Jackson dropped him.

That said I still hope Wout stays.

[Ric_C]

Ndyie looking like he's off to Marseilles. Big blow for the blades that one

[claretdj]

Ryan Manning signed for saints on a free from Swansea, I think we missed the boat here with this lad, a very good left back & on a free you ain't going to get much better tbh.

Scored against West Ham under Jackson and assisted Vydra at home against Wolves under Jackson.

I don’t.

[Anthonini]

Good because I don't think Bruun would have a massive impact on Burnley despite his qualities. We should aim a lot higher than players like this.

To be honest i think the championship is his level

It is now

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Bruun Larsen being linked with Saints.

Personal opinion but I think Hamer is too slow for the Prem.
Nice player, lovely skills, just not dynamic enough for a Prem sides midfield.

I’ve heard his name but literally no nothing about him. Happy to trust Kompany and his staff if they think he’s good enough for our squad.

Although I’m excited about this one, I think that is a fair shout. I watched him a LOT last season and it’s hard to explain but I sometimes thought he was lacking ‘something’ and maybe dynamism is the right word. Then he’d do something great - an assist, goal at a key time, press & tackle, etc.

I think he’d be a very good signing but not a £20m player the Cov fans say he is.

[NewClaret]

Worth a watch:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mu7dV3uz2EA&vl=en

Two things I really like is how he anticipates the pass and closes down his man quickly, and his dead ball delivery.

Not sure a lot of those goals get scored against Prem keepers though.

watching that, he's a lot like Brownhill... we do need cover in each position. I wouldn't be disappointed with signing him for the right price

We could do with a bit more size and physical presence in midfield

[NewClaret]

Plays more as a holding/defensive midfielder but gets up the pitch too. A bit box to box really. Maybe that’s why VK wants him - different positions in and out of possession.

I can see what Charlie means. Sometimes looks to lack half a yard of pace/acceleration but seems to make up for it with his reading of the game.

[Clive 1960]

Thought we would have signed Trafford by now as he's back home and was watching Bolton v Curzon other day surely there's no problem.

[NewClaret]

I think we’ll get that too.

[jlup1980]

McNally is worth 7 million to everyone other than Coventry

They're an odd bunch. They seem to vastly over-inflate the value of all their players. As it stands they likely think McNally isn't worth anything more than we paid for him last summer. If he's a Coventry player this time next week he'll be worth £50m

[mkmel]

Thought we would have signed Trafford by now as he's back home and was watching Bolton v Curzon other day surely there's no problem.

I'm hoping being the star player for England U21's hasn't changed things.

Maybe other clubs try to gazump us or he wants more money.

I wouldn't have thought that would happen but I'll be happier when he holds up the Clarets scarf or is seen in our new signing video.

It was suggested to me,at the weekend, that it wasn't as far along as the media were making out. Time will tell I guess.

It’s all gone quiet regarding new signings?! Would have thought the Coulibaly one would have gone through by now and as for Trafford………?

[Tinribs]

For a supposedly top left back on a free transfer there wasn’t exactly much clamour for him.

[Fretters]

Struggling to come up with ideas for the reveal videos

Lokonga pretty much done has been for a while.

James Trafford had his Burnley medical yesterday in Manchester.

When are we likely to announce?

[Claret Till I Die]

Was that so he'd pass a breath test ?

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

These are decent signings, young, talented.

[Lancasterclaret]

Fabrizio Romano has said we have Trafford, so that is just a matter of waiting for the official announcement

Ditto the Dortmund lad

Everything else is just speculation till we get some confirmation

[jedi_master]

Good source CFS? Out of everyone linked this entire summer, he is the one I feel would make the biggest difference to us so I am praying you're correct.

Leeds rumoured to be in discussions to re-sign Taylor

[Cirrus_Minor]

Leeds rumoured to be in discussions to re-sign Taylor

I hope not, Taylor is one of our most experienced premier league players and has now proven to be excellent at left back and centre back. We should be keeping him.

[Jambounchained]

Leeds rumoured to be in discussions to re-sign Taylor

Surely that would only happen with Drameh coming here? Would be without a left back otherwise.

Is Drameh not a right back

[ClaretInLeeds]

Is Drameh not a right back

Not unless he played out of position all season last season….

[alwaysaclaret]

Fair enough, was just reported a bit back that we were after him to push Roberts in right back position.
