Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[ClaretMov]

£2.5m for Cullen is an absolute bargain.

We need to move quick Leeds are sniffing around

Hopefully both him and Muric are done deals on Monday

£2.5m for Cullen is an absolute bargain.

Is he any good? I’ve never seen him play don’t think he’s a goal scoring midfielder at all-I trust your judgement

[Hedontplayforyou]

Opposite of a goal scoring midfielder

[BigChaCha]

I can’t see why we need so many midfielders really

Err, we have 4 central midfielders, which is always the minimum requirement... Two of those are in the twilight of their careers and one of those CM's has a long-term injury layoff and another is constantly linked with a move away to the Premier League so I'm not sure why we keep seeing these comments about going for midfield players, especially when the trend has been for ages these days to use those types of players across the width of the park, with less emphasis on traditional style wingers... It's called building a squad... A flexible one too!

Phillips, Westwood, Cullen, Cork, Brownhill, Bastien is more than 4.

[arise_sir_charge]

I think that we’ve got so used to having pretty much the same XI week on week out with limited use of subs that folk are over thinking the fact we will have multiple options.

If you consider 5 subs is an option as well then the more the merrier.

[Woodleyclaret]

5 subs and VK will use them all unlike Sean

[randomclaret2]

Phillips, Westwood, Cullen, Cork, Brownhill, Bastien is more than 4.

Phillips has never played for the First Team and Westwood has a long term injury.

[BigChaCha]

Phillips, Westwood, Cullen, Cork, Brownhill, Bastien is more than 4.

Cullen hasn't signed so that leaves 4 if you include proven players at this level or above... Anyone adding Phillips needs to give their head a wobble!

[PremierLeagueClass]

I’d forgotten about that. It’s looking like we will have one of the deeper squads in the league so hopefully we can take advantage of this in the sam way the big clubs do in the premier league.

[Rowls]

It's not too often *everybody* can agree with you KRBFC but you're spot on here.

Actually leaves 3 with your theory because Bastien isn't proven either.
If players are on the books and in the squad they should be included

[claretburns]

Rumoured online Coventry want £10 million + for O'Hare, Burnley not interested at that price.

Pretty much the going rate for creative players.

[Ric_C]

If we had 10 million in the budget I'd rather spend it on a number 9

[GodIsADeeJay81]

How far off is Westwood?
Isn't he walking in one of the videos on YouTube?

Limping I would say haha.

Probs still got at least another 3-4 months

Walking and kicking a ball, but doesn't have full movement of the ankle.

[ClaretTony]

Nixon says that we have cooled on O'Hare.

And adds that we’ve turned to Cullen. Totally different players and that just doesn’t make sense.

[Nori1958]

Only makes sense if we're talking about budget.... Spending the money on Cullen instead of O'hara

[PremierLeagueClass]

Not sure if already mentioned but Jason O’Connor has tweeted -

Josh Cullen to Burnley

You are getting an absolute gem, Smashing little player and a smashing person aswell! I know Burnley fans will take care of him

Cullen is almost certain

[RVclaret]

Heard any more on Muric?

[AshevilleNCClaret]

Well... Newcastle now sniffing around Cornet. Personally, don't see it happening.

can someone start a Transfer rumours thread - no tactical discussion !

Or the lads who (rightly) want to talk about it start another thread, doesn't belong on here.

Jake Rooney who was offered a new contract to continue with our U23s is on trial with Derby.

Played the second half against Bradford today as Derby ran out 2-0 winners

[Spijed]

As has been alluded to on here, it's crazy that some players who've never played in the Prem can attract better fees than some who have Prem experience.

But there you go.

Good result for them in paper with 5 players or whatever it is. Any idea if Knight played?

How much does a false one cost?

[Nori1958]

Yes he did

[dougcollins]

They pay you.

[Mattster]

Yeah.

Kevin McDonald is also on trial at Derby and played 45 mins.

[NewClaret]

Yes he did

Thanks Nori1958

I wasn’t aware we’d turned down an actual offer for Max….. I thought we were still on the rumors pages

Evann Guessand has refused in recent hours to go on loan to Burnley

Santi Aouna reports for Mercato

Seems an odd one, 1 goal in 20 last season

From YouTube he very much reminds me off Andre Gray. Explosive pace and power but lacking of control

[MACCA]

Think they've got a few more than that now, depending on the odds, I might have a few quid on them getting promotion.

They've a decent core of a team!

[Sydmick]

Hi, first post here from Australia.

Just wondering if there's been any rumours about the possibility of Aaron Mooy joining the club. He has just negotiated a release from his Chinese club, Do the Clarets have any need for a 6 or an 8?

He also needs regular football in prep for the World Cup, his time in China was disrupted by the Covid restrictions there.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Cornet to Newcastle starting to do the rounds.

Lee Ryder from Chronicle live saying we have offered him to newcastle

Can't see that TBH athletic says we are hoping vinnie and him seeing the project convinces him to stay cant see the club wanting to ship him out. (Ah I see its his agent pushing it rather than the club apologies)

[boatshed bill]

Something will have to pay for the rebuilding project.

Must be desperate to sell to cover more incomings

Doesn’t specify whether it’s the club or agent.

Be a good signing for them tbh

[dandeclaret]

Let’s save the unlike Sean until he’s won remotely close to the same sort of volume of games eh? Points are much more important than the number of subs used!!

[Somethingfishy]

Would any of us take losing Cornet to get O'Hare and 8/10m in the bank for other incomings? Posing the question....

[dandeclaret]

Any proven quality players linked yet? Like top championship performers, or players we’re beating significant other clubs for?
