Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[ClaretTony]

The player Aston Villa didn’t play more often than not and who they didn’t buy with the Grealish windfall, are you sure?

Think he could well be another Drinkeater for whoever takes a punt on him, personally.

I’m with you on Barkley. Doesn’t seem to be able to hold down a place. Not aware of any link with him.

[ClaretTony]

Don’t know whether it’s been mentioned on this thread but Troy Deeney has signed for Birmingham on a two year deal.

[elwaclaret]

There is an absolute world beater there, maybe SD could get that out of him, I'd love to give Sean the chance with top players.

I would expect if SD has even given him a second thought he’d speak to Moyes and Dean Smith. Not impossible they would recommend him, just not at all sure such a move would work out, and it’s a very expensive gamble.

That’s a great move for him

[Darnhill Claret]

Deeney a lifelong blue, has often stated that he would love to sign for them.

[boatshed bill]

Barkley would be incredible
What a statement

If SD could get him sorted on a week to week basis he'd improve our midfield massively....
Big "if" in there

[ClaretTony]

I think so. Premier League is beyond him now but that will be his dream move into the Championship.

[ClaretTony]

And which players sign week to week deals? He will be on a big deal at Chelsea.

I have always thought he had a weight problem at Everton seemed to get a bit slimmed down at Chelsea.

[Quickenthetempo]

He's certainly not a model pro but if some manager gets the best out of him then he's a superb footballer.

Everton still haven't had a midfielder as good as him despite spending millions and millions.

[ksrclaret]

I desperately hope tomorrow will be ground breaking for Burnley FC

We deserve it for once!!

This post really resonated with me. We’ve had some real shockers and disappointments in recent years. This window has been better already but I think we deserve to have some really good news.

We’ve had Collins, Hennessey, Lennon & Cornet. Is that not really good news?

I was referring to consistency, CT, nothing to do with the finances.

[alwaysaclaret]

Again a big if, but if we can bring christie and Roberts in it would represent an absolutely fantastic window imo

[burnley007]

Incredible news. Buy we are still short...

[randomclaret2]

With 24 hours of the window left Tony, what are you expecting to happen ?

[ksrclaret]

We’ve had Collins, Hennessey, Lennon & Cornet. Is that not really good news?

Yes I’ve said it’s been a better window already if you look.

Still feel we’re a couple short as does the manager, clearly. Getting those in would be good news tomorrow.

[Tall Paul]

Give Burnley fans a fiver and they’ll ask you why it isn't a tenner.

Bet you were fun on Christmas Day as a kid..... I know I got a scalextrix, a BMX, a mitre delta, some Puma Kenny Dalglish...... but I deserved a really good present.

[Vegas Claret]

I'd take Jack Wilshire on a free with a heavily weighted deal dependent on playing time long before Ross Barkley on any sort of deal

[elwaclaret]

Christ.

You’d want him on a bike.

What, really ! You would take qa player who spends more time injured than being available ?

[ksrclaret]

Seems I’ve offended a few with my comments. Sincere apologies to everyone. Consider my wrist well and truly slapped.

I’ll accept any other lazy tropes that come my way regarding swapping fivers for tenners or being a good boy at Christmas with good grace.

[clarethomer]

This window has been a far better window than most recent ones.

I'm glad we still have Tarks and Pope and McNeil. I had heard on the grapevine that West Ham had enquired about Wood too so to still have him at the club to is brilliant.

I think what I would like to see if just more choice in terms of lineups and a bit more competition for places.

We needed someone like Cornet that will push others and be able to challenge for places and I think one or 2 more in that space would be a great pre-season.

We know Collins is a replacement for Tarks and Hennessey is back up for Pope. Both of which are quality and capable pro's by the look of it. But when we need to change something up this season, we are still limited from a creativity/pace perspective.

[CnBtruntru]

Christ.

You're about 2000yrs too late for that one!

[boatshed bill]

What some people overlook is that a casual performer (when he feels like it or says he's fit) still occupies a 25th of the allowed squad.
Bin him, waste of a number.

[NewClaret]

I’d have snapped your hand off for that on the day the window opened.

Yes but Wilshire was a good player but that was quite a time back. He hasn't pulled up trees anywhere since in fact he has hardly pulled on his boots at all. Wilshire would be a gamble way to far.

[ksrclaret]

Now that would have been good. I’ll check with the oracle, but I don’t think we’ve ever made 4 signings on the first day a transfer window opens.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Christie needs reassurances we will start playing a more pleasing on the eye style of football i presume, it is surely possible now we have Cornet in the team, were overdue a formation re-jig anyhow

[ClaretAL]

You can't build Rome in 1 day, or a football team in 1 window. It's progression and damn good progression at that.

[LaLigaClaret]

Christie has the chance to bring that about if he can be ar*ed but perhaps he prefers kamikaze football Parker stylee.

[Devils_Advocate]

But as good as he is he doesn’t play very often

He's played over 70 times in the last 3 seasons which is probably more than a fair few of our squad. He barely played in 17/18 but in the two preceding seasons he played in 74 out of 76 games.

I would suggest 220 Premier League appearances in the last 8 seasons is not the record of someone who doesnt play very often

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

You would think he would pick a team in the prem regardless, strange choice if true.

[ksrclaret]

So are we singing anyone else or shall I start the January window thread?

It’d be a real shame to see the biggest source of bickering drop down the board.

My favourite typo!

We'll be singing allright: "ee I ee i ee i oh... you know the rest

Sorry, only joking,

[Vegas Claret]

when was the last time Wilshire was injured ?

[burnley007]

I wonder how much sleep Mr Pace will be getting tonight

[Blyclaret]

Its my opinion that Christie is not good enough for Premier League.
It wouldn't bother me if we don't sign him.

[randomclaret2]

Im not sure if any other Premier League clubs apart from ourselves have been seriously linked with him

[Claret_tinted]

Some reporter saying that we’ll offer £15m for AMN tomorrow.

Who knows?

I think Arsenal are bound to dig in and keep him until January after the player wanting out on social media.

Still hearing we’re thinking about Everton: Delph and Kenny plus cash for Dwight

[GodIsADeeJay81]

when was the last time Wilshire was injured ?

He's just spent half a season at Bournemouth and they decided against offering him a new deal.
Injured or not, if he's not pulling up any trees in the championship then I can't see him doing it here.

[ksrclaret]

Last time I sang that one Owen Coyle was still reigning as King, so, having already taken a good kicking from the playground bullies tonight, you’ll forgive me if I don’t join in.

[Vegas Claret]

Palace have signed Odsonne Edouard from Celtic

me neither, and I'm not advocating us signing him, but if I had a choice between Wilshire on 10k per week + performance related bonuses (he plays) as opposed to paying Chelsea a 2-3 million loan fee plus the maximum wages for Barkley who also hasn't pulled up many trees I'd be more tempted by Wilshire given our finances. No doubt at all, both players are good players when on form and fit.

[claretblue]

Palace have signed Odsonne Edouard from Celtic

between £15m - £20m
