Summer 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Steddyman]

Agree……. Let’s be realistic……..championship ……….exciting times!

More exciting than getting beat every game while playing lump it long.

[CoolClaret]

I don't rate Brownhill as a PL starter but he's already shown that he's a top performer in the Championship with Brizzle

Being in a 2 against a 3 man field, without the ball for long periods of the game in the PL is vastly different than playing in the Champ

He will thrive and be a good player for us - (touch wood) doesn't get niggles, great fitness and will be one of them that can play 90 mins tues/saturday all year - invaluable.

[Stayingup]

You were very early on the Brownhill is rubbish stuff, took me some time to come around but you were right, runs around like a headless chicken without the quality required.

I presume you didn't watch him against Liverpool at home, when he played really well. You talk a lot you do but a lot of its rubbish like this post.

[Hapag Lloyd]

No, but he watched him against Leeds away

[Juan Tanamera]

You two are just having a conversation with each other now

Two of our resident experts, one of whom already knows 100% what tactics Vincent Kompany will deploy.
As my old dad would say, "Full up wi' lid down."

You are entitled to your own opinion on Brownhill, I gave him over a year to prove to me he's a good player, he failed to do that. I thought early on he looked a potential upgrade on Hendrick, give me Burnley Hendrick over Brownhill, all day long.

[KRBFC]

I'm surprised so many on this board seem to think he's brilliant, soon as he came into the side, we were absolutely dreadful in the middle of the park and every man and his dog last year blamed the lack of an upgrade in central midfield as a big factor in relegation.

Nail on head.

Constantly outnumbered in midfield. Constantly closing down.

It’s so easy to sit on the sidelines and be a know it all and criticise.

If you play for a team that dominates possession, which every team did against us, then it’s easier to show your quality on the ball. And in a 3 v 2, you have more time and space to pick your pass, or drive forward.

Brownhill had the exact opposite to work with.

He will be a huge asset to us this season.

[Bigvince]

In fairness we’re not all experts, and I for one think Brownhill will do well in the championship. I could be wrong but hopefully not.

I think ‘brilliant’ is a strong word, he clearly has flaws and I think posters are acknowledging them in fairness.

From what I am seeing, and mirroring my own opinion, people think that he is likely to be a lot better a league lower as he won’t be competing in a midfield against the likes of Rodri, Fabinho, Kante, Tielemans, Rice etc each week.

Our central midfield was inadequate against the likes of the above, but (in Brownhill’s case anyway) it’s likely to be a different story playing against Luton, Preston and Wigan.

[johnnyjones]

Never heard of him

The following season he received the EFL League One Golden Glove (jointly with Wycombe's David Stockdale) for keeping the most clean sheets, having kept 18 clean sheets across 46 league games.[11] He was also named as Plymouth's Player of the Season and in the PFA League One Team of the Year.[12][13]

Sign him up

[Damo]

Theres reportedly a few premier league clubs sniffing around Brownhill.
Maybe their scouts aren't as clued up as our resident experts

He will be decent in the championship cant see why people don't see that

[tiger76]

He will be decent in the championship cant see why people don't see that

I think many do see that, and his stats when at Bristol City bear this opinion out.

A world of difference between playing against PL quality, and the best the Championship can offer.

However if PL clubs are expressing genuine interest, and more importantly are prepared to pay £10m or so, then we might be open to doing business, especially given the amount of CM'S we've recently been linked with.

He was decent in the Premier league

And thats why we need to keep him, dont understand how some bellwipes on here cant see it

[Taffy on the wing]

Genuine question how many of the players left do you think will actually feature for the Kompany first team?

I suspect Roberts, Taylor, Collins (if he’s here), McNeil and Possibly Cork.

I suspect by the first game of the season the rest of his starting eleven will be new players.

So yes he will play the same set up as he did at Anderlecht.

.......the record's stuck......the record's stuck............

[Newcastleclaret93]

IMG_20220622_002807.jpg

He was **** in the premier league. The reason we were relegated was because our midfield was shocking all season.

Yet magically the midfield that has struggled against championship sides in the cups recently is going to dominate now? Mid table finish this season if we start with the same CM two.

What about the cup game against Millwall we won comfortably away 2-0? Brownhill scored that night and was very good. If you are referring to Huddersfield, the midfield two were Stephens and Westwood, one has left and the other out for some time.

The Cork / Brownhill partnership was the best one last year in the Prem and had we seen it all season we ‘might’ have stayed up.

[Smile]

Another mention of Majeed Ashimeru.

New Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is ‘determined’ to raid former club Anderlecht and bring Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru to the Championship this summer, according to Football Ghana.

[SydneyClaret]

If we sell Pope and sign Muric I can see little reason for us keeping Hennessey or Norris (assuming we can find buyers), even possibly sell BPF.

WH and BPF are probably 2 of the best under utilised keepers in the UK. Obviously Pope was better but he’s kept them both out.

Give it a rest. You are the first to cry when someone targets you yet all you ever do on seeing the name Brownhill is slate him non stop.

[Woodleyclaret]

Josh did well all season putting in a shift when others couldn't be bothered
He did well before in the Championship and the fact that clubs are tracking him speaks volumes for his ability

[arise_sir_charge]

When discussing the merits and faults of Josh Brownhill you also have to consider the system (framework) that he has been asked to play since he joined us. Our system was restrictive beyond belief at times. You could often hear SD shouting “Shaaaaaape”. As someone said earlier this year that framework became a cage.

Think Dean Marney, he was derided for the most part in his early time with us when signed by Laws and then Howe yet he fit the SD system of our first promotion like a glove and became a bit of a cult hero. There are plenty of other players over the years that have fared the same when other personnel or tactics have changed.

[Lancasterclaret]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting the distinct impression that Newcastle doesn't like Josh Brownhill

Not based on anything solid like "facts", he just doesn't like him and nothing will change that

Its more than a little weird

[BigChaCha]

I've often thought, 'what planet are you on' when reading a lot of poster comments on this board but the remarks about Brownhill take the biscuit!...

There are some severe delusions of grandeur if you think Brownhill isn't good enough for Burnley football club... In fact, I would go as far as to say that, you know very little about football or our club if you think that!...

There is virtually no chance we can replace Brownhill with a better player in our current position... Zero, zilch, diddly squat... Unless we get lucky with buying a young player but even then, it will take years for them to establish themselves as a superior player... What better to have someone like Josh, who has experienced both the Championship and Premiership, to guide them on that journey!

Brownhill is still only 26 FFS... One of you described him as old and past it the other day lol and he's still 2 or 3 years off hitting his prime... Central midfield in the Premier League is by far the most difficult position to master and he got very close to that at times. He was also never played to his strengths and near enough every outfield player under SD's coaching team got worse over time and they failed to get the best out of him like many others... He is also massively admired by much larger fish than Burnley...

If Brownhill stays or leaves, he's going to seriously embarrass a lot of people on this board!

[jtv]

Why don't we change the thread title to "Josh Brownhill"? and the change it to something else when the bickering shifts to another player?

[Guller Bull]

Let's see if we can clear this up.

Josh Brownhill is a decent hard working pro.

He is not the best player to play for Burnley nor is he the worst.

Is it OK to move on now?

[RVclaret]

Or just block KRBFC/Newcastle from this thread and it would be fine

[Boss Hogg]

Brownhill- not Premier league standard but more than good enough for the Championship.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Only issue there is then you miss the self proclaimed expert hammer a player for his performance in a game he didn’t even play in

Weird how missed all the replies to him.

Hopefully 2-3 signings very soon to compliment brownhill

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Brownhill- not Premier league standard but more than good enough for the Championship.

Moyes loves him. Wants him to replace Noble. You know, that West Ham that almost won a European Trophy.

Crap, that Brownhill.

[Rileybobs]

Love how the two examples of how poor Brownhill is are Leeds away and Hudds in the cup, both games in which he didn't feature. Almost like certain posters have an agenda.

Well said.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Quite funny that the correlation between posters saying Pope is worth 40m and Brownhill is a top players is quite high.

Yet I’m the one that doesn’t understand football haha

[nyclaret]

I don’t think Pope is worth 40m. I do think Brownhill is a good player for Burnley FC and will prove to be very useful for us this season. You’ve always just had a strange agenda against Brownhill.

[Rileybobs]

No one is saying that Brownhill is a top player. Stop bullsh!tting.

If you are saying Brownhill is prem quality then your saying he is a top player.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Agreed

[Newcastleclaret93]

Agreed

Haha

[Lancasterclaret]

If you foe Newcastle and KRBFC (just for this thread btw!) this discussion is only four pages long

[Guller Bull]

I don't think people are saying that you don't understand football but I do think they might be hinting that you are a boring ****!

Give it a break, the constant bickering and clamour to prove yourselves right is ruining so many threads.

[Rileybobs]

If you are saying Brownhill is prem quality then your saying he is a top player.

I'm not saying that he is prem quality, but even if I was I wouldn't be saying he's a top player - otherwise I'd just say he is a top player. I'm sure it hasn't escaped your attention but we're not in the Premier League, so our players don't need to be 'prem quality'.

[Lancasterclaret]

I'm not sure its going to help the rumours of our financial situation that Andy Jones is saying that we took a lower offer for Pope to get more money up front to help with our own transfers

[Newcastleclaret93]

Andy Jones has said some interesting stuff.

Looks like Gabriel is of interest and also looks like McNeil is potentially going to be leaving before the end of the window.

[Ric_C]

Where's he said that? He said no bids for McNeil only recently

[DCWat]

Top player, top top player, going out out?

[RVclaret]

Andy Jones has said some interesting stuff.

'As usual, there is interest from a number of clubs in wide midfielder Dwight McNeil. However, it is understood the 22-year-old is not at the top of any wanted lists, so any potential movement would likely come as the summer progresses and the window develops.'

How does that suggest McNeil is leaving before the end of the window? It's basically saying nothing.
