Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Casper2]

And yet that’s still a better contribution than you on this thread

That really makes no sense

[Casper2]

Lets be honest Ings was great for us but he is yesterdays man.

Any player with these stats not called Ings we would be up in arms about signing

No apparently he’s been quality for every club he’s played for
3 goals in 38

[williamjblazkowicz]

So he’s been ill, but now he’s well enough for a loan move?

Sounds a lot like when Berge had a knock.

[Goalposts]

I think ings is of to Saudi Arabia for a last big deal. Believe he’s turned down a couple of clubs that West Ham where trying to move him onto already

[Andreshotboots]

As much as I thought he was a classy player, sadly it's a no from me. We just can't afford a highly paid player who will most likely have long injury lay offs on our books.

If he signs a pay per play deal, I'd pick him up tonight but there's obviously zero chance of that happening.

[Andreshotboots]

Sounds a lot like when Berge had a knock.

We've had a lot of salary Vs productivity failures, but Tresor has taken this to Universal levels..

[123EasyasBFC]

Let’s just sell al-dakhil, McNally, weghorst and Tresor, bring the 3 lads in tomorrow along with billing before Friday and then switch all the clubs phones off and go back to having the best squad in the league again

[Murger]

We still need a striker. We can’t go until January with Jay, Foster and Hountondji as our strikers.

[Steddyman]

Peter O'Rourke is saying we have agreed a loan deal for Jaidon Anthony:

"Scott Parker played a key role in luring the player to Turf Moor"

This is what I like to read.

We can if we keep Amdouni, he could easily play number 9 in the championship

Is Enock a strker ?

[Clovius Boofus]

A fully fit Ings would p1ss this league. I'd be happy to see him here for a season, even if he only played half the games. I doubt it's going to happen, but I'd rather see him here than Leeds.

[Murger]

Thought he was a winger.

[claretskeith]

I'm with Murger, always saw him as a winger.

If it’s a loan with an option (not obligation), I can accept that. Will be interesting to see.

[quoonbeatz]

It’s lol every year this thread but this year has reached new heights of ridiculous.

[Cooclaret]

We've asked about him within the last week. That's as far as I've been told and I've not heard anything since. Same guy who knew about Mejbri quite a bit sooner before everyone else. Usual caveats apply.

I will say that there are lots of things that you can level at Pace and Co this window; whether they've thrown the baby out with the bathwater, whether they've left it too late; this whole WhatsApp debacle - but from what Ive heard they are having a real go as the window comes to a close. Couldn't tell you whether it's targeted, sensible business that's been planned all along or if it's blind panic but they are trying to back Parker.

They’ve learnt that you need a squad that’s happy, and has some harmony. They’re backing the manager and clearing out those who threaten that.

That’s good business.

I thought we’d have one at least two over the line today, pretty sure Tony will have these and potentially three more articles written up.

Roll on tomorrow, and Wednesday.

[AfloatinClaret]

Where big Gaz need him to ask his pal for a billing update

And there was me thinking that you were the 'pal' he got his insights from

[burnleytom]

Ings is the highest paid player at West Ham, on £150k a week. He’s already turned down a move back to Southampton, the club he supports, and all his family support.

On those things alone, any suggestion he’ll be coming anywhere near a return to Burnley are farcical.

That’s before you factor in that his social reputation around the town wasn’t exactly sparkling when it came time to leave, and he did a lot to try to limit the amount of money received by the club for him.

And then there’s the injuries….

[Woodleyclaret]

No return for Danny and half his success was down to Super Sam his strike partner

[Vegas Claret]

Danny needs to go to Saudi if anyone will take him

[Passing Clouds]

Just watched the highlights reels on the three players linked. Some impressions…

Sarmiento- tricky show off
Anthony- languid Glen Little
Mejbri - the reel (from Birmingham season) was 11 mins I think and I was glued to it. All action. Trickery, passing, tackling with an edge. Very impressive.

[bobinho]

We have already had a languid glen little.

It was glen little.

(Great player though)

No quarrel with your points but personally don't agree that they've handled all of this as well as possible

[Passing Clouds]

Mejbri scored a free kick identical to Robbie Blake’s v Spurs.

Though Mejbri runs around a bit too much to be the new Robbie Blake!

[Guller Bull]

Really like/welcome the input from Longsider but I need to know are you sporting a Jim White style yellow tie?

I'm not sure the clearing out process is based upon selecting players who disrupt this harmony (if there is any) more to do with who's wanted elsewhere & who will bring in the most money & alleviate the existing financial structural obligations. The positive (there is 1) nobody will be left soon & the window is getting closer.

Don't let facts get in the way of your story... SP has come and said that is the reason, so presumably you know better than him. Some posters just cant wait to have a dig at the club for some reason.

So coincidentally the people who are wanted elsewhere & will achieve maximum money in sales are the harmony disruptors. I get why people have to be sold & the debt & financial obligations but I wouldn't say the people that have left or are leaving have been negative influences.

[scamander]

Brighton supporting mate of mine says Sarmiento is a good player, they just don't have the space for him (Brighton are very strong in those positions). Can play on the centre or left and is very direct, he's quick and good skill set.

Brighton have a very good scouting network so I think this could be a good signing even if on loan.

Who actually knows who is and who isn't? As well as getting decent fees for ones that quite clearly will want to go when a club at a higher level comes in for them, we've also most likely trimmed the wage bill, which is generally another requirement when a club goes down.

I'll wait to see how this week pans out, but I'm not sure there's much that could be done for those that have gone. I still trust we'll get 4 or 5 in to keep us competitive. Plus we've got some good talent to come back from injury

It can happen on a smaller scale but you don't get that many players unhappy, it just doesn't happen!... What we have done with the sheer amount of outgoings is pretty much unprecedented after going down... NOBODY here or anywhere predicted it at the start of the summer!...

Transfer teams that are on top of it, don't release players before securing like-for-like replacements and they certainly don't remove the core in such a short space of time, leaving you with a depleted team with a defender playing as a striker, and also with 2 goalkeepers and kids on the bench!...

They also don't sell experience like Guðmundsson if there is unrest, they do everything to keep him, even if it means offering a coaching role... And why sell Twine if all the 10s are going?...

Add to the fact that Estève, Brownhill and Parker all made it obvious in post-match interviews recently after the last game that they are not happy with the board in how they are handling it, it is pretty obvious to anyone, that they have made a pig's ear of it...

On your last point... Anyone who thinks there are articles ready other than guesswork is naive but anyone thinking what we have done is "good business" is beyond naive... It is also not what they have done but mainly how they have done it!

We don't know every nitty gritty detail but as far as I can tell the people that have left or are leaving have been professional no public bust ups or handing in transfer requests. you couldn't wish for a better bunch then again I suspect there hasn't been much arm twisting involved getting what they want. I just don't subscribe to the notion that the people that have left or are leaving have been bad apples.

Has it actually been announced that he's joined Burnley officially?

[Massivefloodlights]

Is Enock a strker ?

He’s a right winger.

[fatboy47]

He’s a right winger.

[Guller Bull]

It’s all about opinions Big Cc not necessarily about naivety.

I personally think we have done excellent business, trimmed a massively bloated squad, got rid of want away players, sold some jewels to recoup, fetchedfetching some solid and professional recruits in. It gives SP a much sleeker, willing and cohesive unit to work with and forge a squad capable of maintaining a long hard slog of a season.

Those that still want away need to go asap or buckle down and show their worth in time for January window.

On another note, can’t wait to see the massed locks of Hannibal and Massengo tearing up the midfield. Josh Cullen needs to sort out his barnet quickly.

Trafford is one that doesn’t worry me to be fair. We have a decent back up. Losing Amdouni and Koleosho would be a disaster in this league.

[fatboy47]

IMG_4391.jpeg

I don't see it...if Newcastle wanted him he'd be long gone.

[ralph8]

Hope the club don't drag the signings out for a bit of transfer deadline day dramarama.

[Blyclaret]

For me the jury is out with Sarmiento. Yes he has skill … tricky but for Brighton and other clubs he hasent really shown anything. A bench warmer at best coming on in last 10 minutes type player for me.

[Blyclaret]

On all news outlets talking about Newcastle's interest in Trafford saying about huge potential … but nothing been say about the calamitous season he has with us in premier league.

I think Brighton fans disagree with that … they just have too much in that area

Hopfully he can come in and do a job for us

Because they probably saw what I did, terrible tactics by VK. Muric got more wrong last Saturday than JT did all last season.

[bfcjg]

In behind a solid, robust, experienced and organised defence he will be a top keeper, he's never had that here,the poor sod was hung out to dry by Kompany. Solid back fours are the foundation all teams are built on alas not in Kompany's world.

[Pearcey]

Hope the club don't drag the signings out for a bit of transfer deadline day dramarama.

You’d think the 3 Medical’s from yesterday would be announced today.

[AfloatinClaret]

Danny needs to go to Saudi if anyone will take him

A better climate for his knees if nothing else
