January transfer window rumours.

[Steddyman]

Looks like Ivan Toney is going to Arsenal
Another one that got away

[mkmel]

Looks like Phillips is going to City on loan
Another one that got away

He's already at Man City so where is he off to on loan?

[AfloatinClaret]

... his (Michael Obafemi) celebrations didn't sit well with me, I thought it was a bit pathetic that he was taking so much glory out of something he hardly contributed to...

Could I get my apology in now, just in case you ever see any of the photos/video. I remember going way over the top in my celebrations despite my having contributed sweet FA to our team's success; I promise to bear your sensibilities in mind though, when we next have something to celebrate.

[kentonclaret]

I wonder if it infuriated them when JJ Watt was on the open top bus going through town?

Hope JJ hadn’t pencilled one in for the end of this season.

[123EasyasBFC]

Gnonto on course to sign a new deal at Leeds, yet Sacha claiming he was on the way to West Ham which meant benson was replacing him at Leeds, another example of sacha waffle

Giving that barnes invited JJ Watt on the players bus and not the club officials bus I don’t think any player cared.

They had just won the league

[Goliath]

Slightly pedantic. If his celebrations didn't "sit well", presumably you would have been happier if he didn't.

I think he should have celebrated more modestly. I already said that.
Remember the stick John Terry got for wearing his kit for the champs league celebrations..and he was one of their main players.

Fair enough. Still feels a bit harsh to me. He's celebrating the success of the club and the team and I find it very hard to criticise a player for that, even if they're only on the fringes.

On the other hand, Muric was extremely reserved when we secured it. He just about cracked a smile!!

[Taffy on the wing]

It is amazing what some folk get wound up about

Reading this stuff gives me a headache.......it just goes on & on!

Will be delighted if Benson stays.

Maybe next May he might get on it again. Been a bit quiet of late though hasn’t he…

[randomclaret2]

He's veen very vocal about some of our recent VAR woes...

[wilks_bfc]

Maybe next May he might get on it again. Been a bit quiet of late though hasn’t he…

He tweeted on the VAR issues we’ve had, including one that caused his account to be locked, as well as commenting about it on Pat McAfees show, whilst wearing Burnley cap

We’ve not had a game in nearly 2 weeks. What do you want him to comment on?

[Darnhill Claret]

I think JJ tried to really get Burnley and I also feel that he succeeded. He also supports the club/team better, perhaps, than many who were here long before him. Love his enthusiasm. He is all in.

[Holtyclaret]

His ‘9-5’ is the NFL, I’m sure we’ll see more of him when their season ends.

[123EasyasBFC]

What do you mean he’s been quiet? Do you want him to talk about Burnley every interview he does, JJ Watt done more interviews in 12 months than Alan Pace has in 3 years, it doesn’t mean anything.

You are just waffling without any substance

[Foshiznik]

JJ Watt is an NFL analyst. He’s on TV every weekend.

[Vegas Claret]

His ‘9-5’ is the NFL, I’m sure we’ll see more of him when their season ends.

and he wears his Burnley hat pretty much everywhere he goes, people questioning him are just looking for something to criticize for the sake of it.

[NewClaret]

Also reposted the womens 6-0 win on Instagram at the weekend. He’s bought in to all the teams.

[South West Claret.]

Trippier on a move to Germany maybe for over 12 million quid.

[jrgbfc]

Trippier on a move to Germany maybe for over 12 million quid.

Seems a strange one but lots of rumours that he's been a naughty boy off the field up there with the Geordie lasses.

[1HappyClaret]

Another link. A winger

[123EasyasBFC]

Mike saying we are in talks for forbs and Romano saying forest are in talks, someone’s talking rubbish

[South West Claret.]

Seems a strange one but lots of rumours that he's been a naughty boy off the field up there with the Geordie lasses.

Oh dear what a silly boy, at his age as well.

[Darnhill Claret]

Maybe Burnley and Forest are both in talks with Ajax and the player/agent.

[Quicknick]

Oh dear what a silly boy, at his age as well.

He's only in his early 30s.

[South West Claret.]

He's only in his early 30s.

I know he should know better as he’s not a kid anymore.

Newcastle have turned his request down.

[northeastclaret]

Shame the Geordie lasses didn’t as well.

I hope it's BS

He’s not the only ex-Claret in those rumours either

[AfloatinClaret]

I spent a lot of time socialising in the Toon during my youth and that was perhaps one of the reasons... You got laid whether you wanted to or not.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Sounds a bit weird.

[daveisaclaret]

The rumours about Trippier's indiscretions appeared on a Sunderland fan messageboard in the week before the derby. Critical thinking skills may be required to consider if they are real or totally made up.

[Quicknick]

If he hasn't done anything illegal, what's the big deal?

[jrgbfc]

It would certainly explain his drop in form though if his wife has rumbled him. And tbf it seems fairly common knowledge up there, definitely not just rumours on a Sunderland site.

[TopCat]

Allegedly he is not the only one at it!

[Ziggy Stardust]

No wonder he's been looking "tired".

[Newcastleclaret93]

Rumours we are after Alex Cochrane

[jrgbfc]

If the rumours are true Joelinton is in the most trouble.

[Anthonini]

Looks outstanding...

[Newcastleclaret93]

Does look good.

However it’s a big jump to premier league level

[whiffa]

Yeah let's write him off before we even sign him!

[StayingDown4Ever]

Yeah let's write him off before we even sign him!

How on earth is that writing him off?

[123EasyasBFC]

Does look good.

The level is is a massive jump, Robertson managed to make the step up at left back.

Been at Brighton which usually means he’s a talent

[IanMcL]

Why are the rumours still all for 12 year olds?
Surely some maturity and know how are what we need for now???

Re-sale value is the name of Al’s game.

The biggest flips come from young players who have a half decent season or two.

The club is a vehicle to showcase talent. Success on the pitch is secondary.

[claretonthecoast1882]

They always say football is cyclical.

I got so used to us signing older players and reading complaints that we didn't sign young players and sell at a profit like (insert club name whoever it was trendy to wish to be) that now we are reading complaints that we are signing youngsters to make a profit then we must be already on our way back to the good old days.

I miss this highly amusing comments about signing players from Stoke in their 30s

Which concept do you think offers the chance to make more money

Just signing anyone of a young age even if they are crap and hope someone pays more or sign young players, the club do well and other clubs take notice of those players doing well.

A bit like the CocaCola kid then?

How does someone’s age determine how mature they are
