Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[Quickenthetempo]

lots of talk about Callum Styles leaving Barnsley, Blackburn and Luton are rumoured to be in for him - anyone know if we have a % sell on ?

We released him from the academy. So no.

[boatshed bill]

Obafemi on the bench for Swans tonight.

That's knocked a couple of million off his value then

[Vegas Claret]

Josh Maja?

going to Birmingham

[agreenwood]

Just cannot see us forking out anything like the sums mentioned yesterday for Obafemi.

We haven’t done it all summer and I can’t imagine we’ll panic tomorrow and spend north of £5m on a player.

Don’t disagree but Kompany did say expect the unexpected

[jedi_master]

Swansea fans seem to think it suggests he’s off. I’m not too sure, surely he wouldn’t be in the squad at all if that was the case.

Looking on their forum, they reckon a fee of £5-6m would get him. The reported £10m that was being seen yesterday sounds like it might be way off. A fee in the £5-6m region is possibly doable for us if the structure is less up front.

Would be an exciting signing for sure

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

How much were we reported to offer Coventry for O’Hare?

[matttheclaret]

How much were we reported to offer Coventry for O’Hare?

Think £9 million was mentioned

[Pearcey]

Who is Will Lancaster?

I asked the same question recently and was informed he is definitely in the know.

[Firthy]

For once I'm not worried if we don't sign any more players. Unlike previous windows when we've all been desperate to see a final day signing. I think we can challenge for promotion with what we have.

If Jay gets injured and we have to play Barnes up top for a large chunk of this season, I’d say it rules out autos

[Quicknick]

Agreed. It would be our Andre Gray signing.

[chekhov]

Don’t disagree but Kompany did say expect the unexpected

Surely if we’re all now expecting Obafemi it’s no longer unexpected so there’s no point expecting it. Of course then he’ll be unexpected, so it could still happen.

[forzagranata]

doesn't look a smart deal from us then

You can’t have sell-on clauses when you release a 16 year old.

[Vegas Claret]

yep. I wondered if we had sold him, I was getting confused with Benson

[ClaretLoup]

Not quite Ric as he chipped in 4 goals in the first promotion and was injured for the large part of the second one. However 40 EPL goals propelled Burnley to seventh place and kept us in the Division for six seasons.

He has had two very serious long term injuries and has shown the courage and determination to battle back from both.

For £400 k and circa nine seasons of service he has been a brilliant signings. Let’s hope some of VK’s work out as well.

As I have said before it will be a very sad day indeed when Basher leaves the club.

[gandhisflipflop]

Pretty cr*ppy attitude toward a player who’s played well for us for years. Not really his fault that he’s going through a perfectly normal age-related decline

He may have done well over the years, but is isn’t doing well now and hasn’t for a long time. No room for sentiment.

[thehistorylecturer1]

doesn't look a smart deal from us then

Time will tell .. he wouldn’t be the first or the last to be released at that age

[Iloveyoubrady]

I’d love us to get a marquee striker like Obafemi in to go with all of the wingers/attacking midfielders we’ve got. Obafemi looks like he has some great attributes to me. Absolutely rapid and strong centre forward.

[DCWat]

He may have done well over the years, but is isn’t doing well now and hasn’t for a long time. No room for sentiment.

Maybe so but there is room for respect.

Get back to transer news, lads.

[gandhisflipflop]

Get back to transer news, lads.

Apologies. My comment was childishly removed anyway.

[Duffer_]

Apologies. My comment was childishly removed anyway.

I think you mean your childish comment was removed.

[gandhisflipflop]

I think you mean your childish comment was removed.

Removing comments is childish. Anyway back to transfer news.

[Zlatan]

Removing comments is childish. Anyway back to transfer news.

I reported yours and other posts because the thread was at risk of going off on a tangent with personal insults and that’s probably the reason it was removed.

Now… back to transfers eh everyone

[northeastclaret]

How about you keep it on topic, hypocrite

Talking of off topic childish behaviour, he is back unfortunately

[martin_p]

I genuinely hear more grown up conversations listening to my eight year old talking to his mates.

[ClaretTony]

Apologies. My comment was childishly removed anyway.

Nothing has been childishly removed but you will if you continue like this. You should be offering apologies for your comments.

[ClaretTony]

Removing comments is childish. Anyway back to transfer news.

Your posts are removed because complaints are received. So according to you it’s only you who’s not childish.

[gandhisflipflop]

I haven’t personally insulted anyone.

[gandhisflipflop]

I shouldn’t have taken part in taking the thread off topic. That’s as far as it goes.

[RVclaret]

Obafemi came on as a sub so nothing can be read into that anyway

[Hedontplayforyou]

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

[Firthy]

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

No more incoming, maybe that's the unexpected?

[Rileybobs]

Maybe expect the unexpected was just a complete throwaway comment that people have inexplicably latched onto.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Maybe

[RVclaret]

Maybe expect the unexpected was just a complete throwaway comment that people have inexplicably latched onto.

Most likely

[Steddyman]

Maybe expect the unexpected was just a complete throwaway comment that people have inexplicably latched onto.

After signing 14 players, maybe the UNEXPECTED was for us not to sign anyone else.

[Hedontplayforyou]

We are certainly still looking for a striker and centre half, I think that we will have left offers on the table with clubs who have rebuffed us so far, and if they decide to budge then we will make it happen, if not then so be it

[Steddyman]

Jason O'Conner just tweeted the following:

Burnley have made a second improved offer for Michael Obafemi

New offer closer to Swansea valuation! Tomorrow will be interesting…

Bloke certainly knows his stuff, and with Obafemi being dropped to the bench tonight I reckon it’s a goer.

Is he actually any good? Never seen him play.

[Jambounchained]

Wonder if Obafemi is pals with Tella? Could have a word in his ear

What would the link be?

[123EasyasBFC]

Southampton

[mybloodisclaret]

Didn't realise Obafemi played there. Fair enough.

[123EasyasBFC]

I wouldn’t be going about 4-5mil had seemed to be the limit we will spend on one player all summer, he’s not the player to play the jay rod role, the lad from Brentford or Callum Robinson more suited to that role
