Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[123EasyasBFC]

You are good at missing the point , agentclaret said he sores goals , I pointed out the fact he’d scored 2 in 27 , nobody has mentioned about players improving when they come to us , anyway he won’t be signing so it’s all irrelevant.

Just because one season in Serie A he isn’t had a good season doesn’t mean he doesn’t score goals and I was merely pointing out that someone’s reckon doesn’t mean they won’t do well for us and used tella as an example that’s all. You don’t think he will come to us?

[Carwin261]

Will some one delete all my posts next time DCWat,and CoolClaret are involved ,it’s like trying to have an intelligent discussion with 2 Rovers fans ,if it’s your biggest gripe arguing about a poor throw then life’s been so good to you both.

[CoolClaret]

Has Vitinho ever actually played right back for us?

I can remember him playing rb in the 4-0 win against Swansea at home then I think against Norwich the following match but I don’t think he’s played there since.

EDIT: played there against Coventry away as well

I suggest you look at my post history instead of suggesting that I’m not adequate of an intelligent discussion re football and likening me to a Rovers fan.

This may have been the first time that I’ve ever quoted you.

Heaven forbid someone has a different perspective to your own.

Not a question of a different perspective ,imagine a reporter after the match interviewing VK ,and “ Now then Vince I thought we played quite well against the team 2nd in the Premier League form table for 2023 ,but about those 2 throw ins “ does seem a little bit like nit picking don’t you think?

And I wouldn’t expect it to be asked if VK in an after game interview.

Not a surprise to see it mentioned on a fans forum though.

Not the right thread for it though to be fair.

The grammar police will give you a 3 day ban if you carry on punctuating as you are.

Another player i would have on loan to play the number 6 role alongside Cullen would be Eric Dier, he could drop into defence if needed to

[Woodleyclaret]

Dier is as poor as Harry Maguire we have 4 good cbs already 3 with Beyer injured we need a tough tackling playmaker for cm

[123EasyasBFC]

I would play dier next to Cullen not as a cb every week

[buzzclarets79]

I would play dier next to Cullen not as a cb every week

And thankfully you're not the manager of BFC. Dier is another example of a player that thinks he's better than actually is and just like Maguire prob got himself on a very inflated contract at Spurs

[arise_sir_charge]

Harry Maguire is a good player as is Eric Dier.

[buzzclarets79]

Harry Maguire is a good player as is Eric Dier.

I've read some stuff on this thread and indeed forum but that for me is a belter of a post.

[ervi34]

Daka and Origi on shortlist.

[matttheclaret]

I've read some stuff on this thread and indeed forum but that for me is a belter of a post.

They've both played the majority of their careers at the top level and have played 57 and 49 games respectively for England. I'd say the suggestion that both are good players is very fair. Maybe they both need a fresh start (certainly Maguire) but to say they aren't good players is nonsense

[123EasyasBFC]

Since when did Burnley fans start turning their nose up at experienced prem level players, dier would instantly improve our squad

[Bordeauxclaret]

I can remember him playing rb in the 4-0 win against Swansea at home then I think against Norwich the following match but I don’t think he’s played there since.

EDIT: played there against Coventry away as well

Played right back against Rovers at home, then the following game at QPR after the break.

[burnley007]

Is there a transfer thread I could read? I didn't come here for an argument.

This is where to go for an argument!

[ClaretFelix]

Right back Reggie Cannon linked again on a free

[Cap]

Didn't we sign a RB in January on a pre contract or have I dreamt this?

[Anthonini]

Tresor offer has been accepted by Genk, don't know if anyone posted it yet. Still need to come to an agreement with the player.

[NewClaret]

Daka and Origi on shortlist.

Where’s this come from? I’d prefer Daka to Origi I think. I’ve always thought he looked excellent when he played for Leicester (which wasn’t much tbf).

[claretonthecoast1882]

Wasn't it claimed that Daka has signed for Bournemouth

Can't wait until Friday

[Commy]

Nixon's reply to a Sheff Utd supporter re left backs was that there seemed to be a shortage. He said Man Utd were looking for one but couldn't find one. I presume he means decent ones so it might be the reason we are struggling. If teams are aware they might be asking far too much for them.

I can't remember his name, but promotion made us back out as I recall

[warksclaret]

I watch Leicester quite a bit being close to the ground. Daka is very quick, but rather lightweight. Style of play not dissimilar to Vydra, and not a prolific goal scorer at LCFC. Has not really won the fans over at Leicester in 2-3 years. Having said that he might suit our style of play, but I would have thought the physical abilities of Origi would be more suited to us.Suspect Daka would cost us £25m-ish

[123EasyasBFC]

Surely nobody would pick Daka over Origi

[Selby Claret]

Fadh Moufi from Portimonese
Moved to Hadjuk Split this summer

[Anthonini]

We can loan origi for a year and look out for the perfect opportunity to buy next summer. Maybe get an option on him just to be sure in case he performs above expectations.

I’ve seen a long list of ManUs targets and not one of them would sign for us. Different level altogether.

Re:Dier posts higher up.
He was an excellent holding MF for Spurs and England before somebody, his manager or himself?, decided to move him back to CB where he is dire.

[warksclaret]

Transfer activity amongst PL clubs is starting to get frenzied. One guy who might be moving and who could be very useful to us as a CDM would be Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester. Nearly 200 PL games, strong tackler and athletic. Can play CH too, which shows he is good defensively and still only 26

Been linked with forest and Bayern

[Firthy]

I think you spelt Dier wrong when posting on this thread, it hould be dire

[Nori1958]

21m for Tresor......

[RVclaret]

21m for Tresor......

Did you get that from this account

https://x.com/sportoweno/status/1696450 ... 09880?s=46

He’s one of those fake journo accounts if so.

HLN (Belgium’s biggest media outlet) suggested it’s between €18-20m inc bonuses.

The Belgium report that I saw said just below 25m euros, so the £21m sounded right... we'll never know, so it doesn't really matter if we're a couple of mil out either way

[ArmchairDetective]

From The Bee Hole End pod this morning reporting Matt Williams (transfers guy at the club) stated we are hopeful of 3-4 players incoming this week. Looking like Tresor will be one. They also indicated Maatsen may sign a long-term deal with Chelsea before being loaned out.

With Tresor and a LB (maybe Maatsen) presumably taking 2 of those 3-4 incoming slots, that leaves 1 or 2 others potentially incoming. I've lost track of who we've been linked with this summer. Who else do we see coming in?

[gandhisflipflop]

Origi and vranckx (sp?) maybe?

Or bakayoko and Vranckx

[MDWat]

A striker. And then hopefully another central midfielder.

Assuming the quality is high but a left back, right winger, striker and centre midfielder and we’d feel about balanced.

Assume 2 of those will be Prem loans.

[gandhisflipflop]

Hoping I’m right here but potentials?

Strikers/wingers

Bakayoko
Origi
Tresor

Left backs

Maatsen

Centre mids

Vranckx
Lokonga
Phillips?

As stated above, you’d assume we would opt for our 2 prem loans which is why I’ve thrown Phillips into the mix. He is exactly what we need

[JimmyRobbo]

I just can't see us getting Bakayoko with the clubs being linked: Liverpool, Palace, Brentford.
I don't know how credible the links are but they will all be able to offer far bigger wages.

[RVclaret]

Tresor
CM (one that can play in a pivot)
LB

If greedy a striker (but would probably mean Jay Rod can’t be registered).

[kenyon6923]

do we think Brownhill, Taylor or Muric will go this week ? or someone else ?

[gandhisflipflop]

I just can't see us getting Bakayoko with the clubs being linked: Liverpool, Palace, Brentford.
I don't know how credible the links are but they will all be able to offer far bigger wages.

I agree with this. He is linked however, and we can live in hope. With the reported fee for Tresor around 20-25m, you’d think it would take bakayoko off the table.

[RVclaret]

The reported fee for Tresor is £15m and that isn’t until next summer, suggestion so far is a loan with obligation to buy.

[ArmchairDetective]

Origi
Tresor
Maatsen (loan)
Phillips (loan)

would be outstanding business, and dare I suggest not totally unrealistic.

I can't see us spending big on both Tresor and Bakayoko, but nothing would surprise me after the summer we've had.
