Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Be fantastic if this comes off. If we can add Hughes/Maitland -Niles and Christie as well by next Tuesday the squad suddenly looks a lot healthier!

[CFS]

Thursday....... I'm hearing noises.

Bump.

[HahaYeah]

Looks like Hughes is going to Palace.

[Billy Balfour]

Shhhh! Don’t tempt fate.

It's OK. I did my anti hex sign before I posted .

[RMutt]

I reckon it’s all these awful puns putting him off signing.

I think you might be expecting a little too much, hope iam wrong

[Newcastleclaret93]

Fabrizio has confirmed Fee has been agreed. Waiting for personal terms to be agreed

[PadihamThickNeck]

Looks as if it’s going to be done, but where does he fit in ?

Most places say he’s a left back who can play left wing too, we have Taylor and McNeil who surely we aren’t going to drop ?

We need a right sided winger/right back not left.

Could McNeil be off or could he be switched onto the right hand side with Cornet on the left ?

We aren’t buying someone for 15 million to not go straight into the team ?

[Firthy]

You only think he's expecting too much, I think most of us know he's expecting too much

[Grumps]

Who?

[Milltown1882]

He can play right mid or up top too. Assuming he would go right mid unless we go back to 4-5-1 and McNeil goes in the 10.

[PremierLeagueClass]

The frequency at which our wide men switch sides during a match I think the whole left sided/right sided midfielder concept is redundant now. I think if everyone is fit it would be:

Pope
Taylor, Tarky, Mee, Lowton
Cornet, Westwood, Cork, JBG
McNeil
Wood

[Lancasterclaret]

He gives us a lot of options that we just don't have at the moment

Thats a massive positive whichever way you look at it

I’ll worry about where he plays when he actually signs. Until then, it should be filed under ‘Grosicki / Lansbury’.

That looks very good. Add to that a potential centre mid and/or right back option and it’s looking extremely positive.

[Iloveyoubrady]

He’s not really a left back. Has played both wings a lot and even a bit of up front. Will almost certainly play wings for us but could also play lwb with a back 3.

[RVclaret]

He has played right wing most of his career so I’d assume he will play there but with the ability to switch sides with Dwight during games. Also gives us the option for him to play down the left, Dwight in behind the striker and JBG on the right. Won’t be left back anyway.

[Andingle]

Believe he can play both sides and is predominantly right footed.

[Pearcey]

When he’s agreed personal terms and signed then I’d say he’d be on the right wing. I still can’t help thinking a disappointment is coming. It just all seems so unburnley like.

[Chester Perry]

literally hundreds of posts about this guy on the transfer thread

Plays booth sides. Very two footed but left foot dominant.

Hadn't noticed that

[Pearcey]

I can only assume that the people who seem to know so much about him watch a lot of French football. I’d never heard of him.

[ClaretAL]

just to savour 1 more time...

that's not the latest !

Nicolò Schira says it's done (I've never known him to be wrong) and now Fabrizio is posting about it - I don't remember the last time he posted something that he didn't think would go through

[Jakubclaret]

Even more so when you type his name into Google & see West Ham & Newcastle mentioned.

[Foreverly Claret]

Reputedly fee payable in FIVE instalments...wonder how that works ? West Ham and Newcastle supposedly in the frame too..if it comes down to wages can't see us matching them.

[ClaretTony]

I'm still hoping Dyche leans on his friendship with Pochetino and brings in Mbappe on loan

He did. We signed NKoudou

[ClaretTony]

Those two are reliable although I don’t believe all that info to be accurate. Even so I suspect Cornet might not be our next signing

[Iloveyoubrady]

I’ve seen him play a few times in champions league. I’d heard of him as a major prospect years ago. Never thought we would be able to sign him. Fingers crossed...

[Bigvince]

Oooo the plot thickens!

What do you know Tony ?

[ClaretInLeeds]

Be such a Burnley thing to announce Lennon in time for tomorrow’s game followed by Cornet before Friday….

[Vegas Claret]

as in we get another in before him ?

[Lancasterclaret]

Lennon guys

Its Lennon

Which isn't bad, but not great

[Vegas Claret]

as an example of Schira's accuracy, reported this deal long before anybody else

[Quickenthetempo]

Only Lennon could be signed that fast.

Although we have been trying for others.

[Pearcey]

I’d be happy with Lennon to make up the numbers. McNeil, Cornet, JBG and Lennon doesn’t look bad.

I know I’m in the minority but I thought Lennon did ok first time round. All gone quiet with him though.

Interesting little snippet there Tony

[Newcastleclaret93]

Hmmm if it’s not Lennon than who could it be before Cornet?

Christie?

All transfers are paid in instalments, usually over length of contract. 5yr deal, 5 instalments

Richard Attenborough was incredibly creepy in that film.

[RVclaret]

Sounds like you might have a couple of articles up your sleeve there CT…

[ClaretTony]

Richard Attenborough was incredibly creepy in that film.

Wasn’t he? Must be close to 50 years ago now.

[Ric_C]

Has been mostly a winger - played Lb recently. Played striker as well. Dyche will like his versatility and defensive willingness.

Could he be our Antonio?

Decent players who can play in multiple positions are worth their weight in gold over a season
