January transfer window rumours.

[Carlos the Great]

I'd seen something on twitter that suggested he'd already made up his mind to play for Galatasaray and our offer had come in a bit too late?

Wow a footballer with some integrity ?

[Bordeauxclaret]

I agree totally about him .. I actually hope he doesn’t go to Palace though as we all know what will happen when we play them soon

He’ll get injured?

I’m glad we aren’t allowing low options to buy for someone like zaroury, forest getting 10m loan fee and 20m mandatory fee for Mangela when he hasn’t done anything for them

I bloody hope it’s not our last transfer. Insanity we are not going for a left back

We’ve been linked with several left backs. Clear they are ‘going for one’, doesn’t mean they will definitely land one though. Esteve has played left back and plays wide left centre back in a 3 for Montpellier, perhaps Kompany might use him as a left centre back in possession, left back out of possession?

[Goliath]

Strange decision to put Zaroury on the bench instead of Tresor last night when hes on his way out. Maybe Kompany was impressed with Tresor's outing v Luton as the rest of us.

[Woodleyclaret]

The effort put into securing Tressor has borne no relationship to the expected outcome on the pitch.
VK suggested we were getting a top player the reality is far from that.

[123EasyasBFC]

English clubs only allowed 7 senior players out on loan, we already have Peacock Farrell twine McNally weghorst obafemi churlinov, so that means we can only loan one of Roberts, benson, zaroury

That is the reality, so far. You don’t always get the best out of players immediately - some take longer than others to integrate. Foster is an example of a player who didn’t hit the ground running but has since come good.

But not all transfers work out. They don’t for any club. Try being a United or a Forest fan, for example. I have no idea why our fans expect otherwise.

hmm, didn't realise that, gonna be awkward.

Think it might be a late night chaps…

Have you seen him play?

[123EasyasBFC]

Unless it’s only 7 domestic loans

Probably just teaching him a lesson or he had a light injury maybe. Think he was getting better and better at the end of the year. Definitely expect to see alot more from him coming months.

Samuel Bastien is on loan too

That’s 7 already then

Just looking the the transfers this window,and Wolves have 9 out on loan,but I haven’t checked to which country.

We can hardly see less. Saying he was getting better and better is exaggerating it a bit. He showed some nice glimpses v Liverpool but his end product was woeful. Thats about it.

How long do we wait? That money could have gone on someone who would have actually contributed.

[Clarets4me]

Hi Ian,

As a Rugby fan of some vintage, I saw " IanMcL and " Esteve in on loan " on the " Beehole End " front page, and these two came straight to mind, Ian McLauchlan & Alain Esteve ..

[Westleigh]

Down the M65 they’re getting another Liverpool player on loan ,they seem to have a good rapport with the Scousers they’ve previously had Harvey Elliott ,and a couple more that have made the grade,

[Murger]

Broja joining Fulham on loan from Chelsea.

[123EasyasBFC]

Just looking the the transfers this window,and Wolves have 9 out on loan,but I haven’t checked to which country.

During the 2022/23 season, a club can loan out a maximum of eight players and this number will be reduced further by one player each season. Put simply, FIFA have set this regulation so that a maximum of six players will be allowed out on loan in the 2024/25 season. The aim of this is to promote competitiveness, youth player development and prevent player hoarding by certain clubs that have a reputation of having a large squad and are loaning out players year after year. For example, Chelsea are the most publicised example of this; often loaning out around 20 players every season so this may have a substantial effect on such clubs.
The only players that are exempt from these new regulations are players aged 21 and younger and those that have been trained through the youth academy system at the club. The limitations do not apply to them to prevent restriction of free movement.

Maybe it didn’t pass through

If wolves players are trained at wolves or under 21 they don’t count to the 7

[It Is What It Is]

I was hoping someone would come in for Trafford.
Oh well.

Now then,apparently there’s at least two of us who don’t think he’s good enough.

[Anthonini]

His end product is his main asset. He made 24 assists last season in a dominant team. Now he has to run after players which is something he never had to do. I don't understand he's not starting every game vs teams from the bottom half of the league.

The fact he played well vs Liverpool is already a good sign that he's adjusting to the physicality of the PL.

He's still by far our best player technically if you like it or not.

[colne-claret]

He’s getting better. I think a season in the championship will do him world of good.

[SirBob]

Do we still do announcements videos?

[Nori1958]

You and Carwin??

[Westleigh]

You and Carwin??

It is what it is makes 3 ,I wondered where you were when the wonder boy was dithering around as though he was trying to catch a bar of soap last night.

[wilks_bfc]

We did one for Forfana

I tend not to post on here when iam at the game, giving the team my full support.

You’re an inspiration and a Burnley top fan. Congratulations.

One out confirmed. Fee is a bonus.

Esteve confirmed on Sky, on loan.

[boatshed bill]

Esteve confirmed on Sky, on loan.

It's confirmed on the club's website now.

[CoolClaret]

Most enthusiastic I've seen on his signing video, so for that alone he's my second new fav player, just behind Massengo.

It was his best asset when he had time and space to think and had less work to do defensively. Theres currently no evidemce that he can produce it at this level

[NewClaret]

Yes, very enthusiastic. Great to see.

[NewClaret]

I bloody hope it’s not our last transfer. Insanity we are not going for a left back

So I’m pretty sure we’ve not packed up and gone home even after Assignon.

Not sure whether we’ll get another over the line or if it’ll be a LB, but do know we made a massive effort on Oosterwolde so even if we didn’t get one, we have tried very hard.

Finding players of the right quality who want to come here and we can afford is not going to be easy.

[Tricky Trevor]

So I’m pretty sure we’ve not packed up and gone home even after Assignon.

Sky saying he’s flying in for his medical but we are cutting it fine.

[NewClaret]

Sky saying he’s flying in for his medical but we are cutting it fine.

Think he flew in much earlier and Sky are just giving that as latest they’ve heard.

[123EasyasBFC]

Is it a straight loan or loan with option or obligation, can’t see what’s in it for his parent club finance wise if it’s just an option

[Leisure]

It is what it is makes 3 ,I wondered where you were when the wonder boy was dithering around as though he was trying to catch a bar of soap last night.

Give it a rest. He's clearly our no.1, irrespective of what you think!
