Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[123EasyasBFC]

We are possibly the only team that I've ever heard of that is going to effectively have sold all of their marquee signings from the year prior.

It's a lot simpler than you are suggesting and if it isn't, it's because of other factors at play.

For the 100th time, he was quite happy to come on against Cardiff and Sunderland, and to be fair to him, put a real shift in.

Just because we are the first to do it, doesn’t just mean it’s just the owners cashing in on, if we were cashing in amdouni wouldn’t be a loan deal, he has clearly said now it’s the end of the window he wants to go.

Zaroury refused to be in the squad for the Cardiff game because he wanted to leave. Trafford is desperate to leave but fair play he’s playing still.

[alwaysaclaret]

Except that you have to add Worrall, Hannibal (reported as having signed a permanent deal today), Humphries, and possibly the other 2 who were reported as having medicals yesterday, which takes it back up to 25

Haven't seen any confirmation from the club re hannibal, although there has been some from the utd end. And I question whether the deals for the other 2 will actually go through, seem to have stalled.

[Les Lawrence]

Jesus,what a load of wet wipes on here.Players move for money,they don't give a **** about the club.All the always being a claret **** is embarrassing.,we are shipping out the **** and the ones who don't want to be here,get a ******* grip

[Vegas Claret]

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.

I watched one of the Ecuador games in the Copa America this summer and in all honesty I'd never heard of him before it- he was so good I looked him up and remember thinking 'oh typical, he plays for Brighton'. He was the stand out player on the pitch.

Who said anything about an set amount?

A lot of these players will have clauses such as "if we get relegated, my agent has the ability to talk on my behalf to that club" or words to that affect.

That's how we will entice them here in the first place, making it attractive to leave and not be hunkered in on a 5 year deal.

It's usually a good idea if you don't understand a subject to not chat about that subject lol.

[burnleymik]

Estève is still here. Both Josh C and B are here. Foster is still here. Beyer and Ekdal will be fine in this league when they return.

Weghorst will be gone as will Benson because they don't want to stay.

We desperately need to keep Koleosho.

Fair point, but we have already seen how much it affected Josh B on Saturday and tbh Foster is just far too hit and miss.

My point being there are just too many first team and good squad players all being removed at the same time, which is always going to create absolute chaos,

[alwaysaclaret]

I suspect Trafford playing to put him in the shop window, I wonder why there's no takers, I'm certainly desperate for him to leave.

You’re taking the divorce well then?

[Row x]

I follow all that, but I am guessing he did not anticipate the volume of departures would be of this scale

But it had to be, because of the size of the squad. He knew the squad size, and knew the permitted size.
The players who've left might not be the ones the supporters wanted to leave, but other clubs only want the good players, not the also ran's

[gandhisflipflop]

interesting choice of words considering our owners

I can see why you’d make that observation, however let me assure you that is in no way aimed at their beliefs or faith.

[CoolClaret]

There's a lot of conjecture here like and ultimately the club does have to have a bit of a say with their players.

My concern is the sh1tshow left by the arrogant one, mixed with the boards' naivety has created this environment and it's gone off a bit like dominoes... As I have stated before, the reactions from Brownhill, Parker & Esteve on BBC Radio Lancs following the game at Sunderland were revealing.

[alwaysaclaret]

Over 60 years ****

[CrosspoolClarets]

I’m pondering the alternate realities to compare departures under these scenarios:

1. BFC drop and Kompany leave (this reality sadly)
2. BFC drop and Kompany stays
3. BFC stay up and Kompany leaves
4. BFC stay up and Komoany stays

I reckon ‘3’ would also have been fairly dramatic. A big change in manager / playing style while being courted by 3rd parties. ‘2’ may also have been like a stampede if the atmosphere was as toxic as claimed.

[bpgburn]

We still haven’t actually signed anyone yet and, at this rate, I don’t think we will. This unprecedented saga will go down in history as a comparable event to the sinking of the Titanic. It’s bye bye Burnley.

FFS!! I thought some of the shite posted on here would take some beating but **** me that takes the biscuit!

[Les Lawrence]

Expect Brown hill,Trafford and Wout to go Magic Mike as well,

[Shaggy]

Think I’m going to start up a tampon emporium.

Just give me your UTC username for a discount.

The reaction from those 3 yes could be aimed at the board for how they are dealing with things but it could also be aimed at players who have left or let them down by refusing to play.

Like I said I don’t particularly like the ownership and certain members of the ownership group come across like really unlikeable people but it’s an easy thing to put the sole blame on them this summer. Kompany has left us in this mess but then so has the recruitment team by identifying the players


One thing for certain is come 11pm on Friday the squad and manager we have will need the fans support because for whatever reason they have been dealt a shocking hand over the last 2 weeks

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Buy this man a pint, totally embarrassing, most of the posters on here would have trampled the women & kids on the titanic, like kids at xmas who did not get what they wanted. We all need to be together….

[alwaysaclaret]

Maybe we need magic Mike eh !!

[louieollie]

FFS! How many different ways can the same "gang" of morbidly moronic posters ask the bleeding obvious and answer it themselves and yet STILL managed to argue with themselves 🫣..........

[Rick_Muller]

I agree with this - we need to back the players and staff who remain when Saturday comes. I dread to think what a massive defeat and embarrassment by that lot down the road will do to the "Matchday Experience" that Alan wants going forward, but we need to keep supporting those pulling on the shirt for us.

[Blyclaret]

If this continues Pace will not be attending too many more matches. His time watching Burnley live is nearly up.

[alwaysaclaret]

Trampled the women and kids on the titanic, best yet.

Will still be laughing at this on Friday….

[Darthlaw]

I suppose one thing that is crystallising from this is an understanding of why last seasons team showed such a lack of fight, passion and desire to stay up. Why their heads buckled the second they went a goal behind and why they generally looked, to a man, like they didn’t give much of a **** whether Burnley got relegated or not.

They knew they’d be leaving anyway.

This is definitely the risk of signing folk to give them their stepping stone to the limelight. Playing them all at once last season and freezing out the guys who would be wanting to keep their new found wage increase might have at least given more fight to the cause. Also hoofing the likes of Barnes (who would have been more of a squad 'enforcer') just served to make the situation worse.

[GetIntoEm]

When will we have to forfeit Saturdays game if we can't field a team?

[Les Lawrence]

Magic Mike will never play for Burnley again

[ervi34]

Koleosho wants to go according to Tavolieri.

[burnley007]

He may need security on Saturday

Especially after the game.

The ones who love to categorise others as over reacting are the shrillest, most hysterical voices on here.

Cheers! Plenty of quality to go at there.

[claretskeith]

Koleosho wants to go according to Tavolieri.

I'd like us to go back to the Premier League.

[Cooclaret]

Hey Mr joined this board July 15 2024
Why do you keep trying to ridicule people making posts with genuine concerns

Do you have a genuine concern that we won’t be able to field a team at the weekend? Genuine concern….

Christ on a bike, get a grip.

[123EasyasBFC]

Cheers! Plenty of quality to go at there.

Dele Alli will 100% get a mention by someone

[Rick_Muller]

we should look at Dele Alli

[Cooclaret]

If this continues Pace will not be attending too many more matches. His time watching Burnley live is nearly up.

Christ on a bike!

Have we learnt nothing from recent events? I’m sure this isn’t a threat towards the chairman, but, it could be interpreted as such!

[claretskeith]

We have enough room for more players. Someone like Dele Alli could do a job for us though.

[jrgbfc]

Exciting times...

I have a concern that the team and bench we fielded against Sunderland, which wasn’t fit for purpose, will be with a couple of omissions and a couple of additions, barely any better and still not acceptable against Blackburn

[Cooclaret]

He may need security on Saturday

Especially after the game.

And this…

Genuinely, think before you post!!

[Les Lawrence]

If Koleosho wants to go,sell him,he looked like he was sulking against Cardiff pulling collar on his shirt with his lip out.Get youth players in,if they impress sell em.Thats the way Burnley has always been, Dobson,James,Thomas, Steven,etc etc.UTC.

[kentonclaret]

Except that you have to add Worrall, Hannibal (reported as having signed a permanent deal today), Humphries, and possibly the other 2 who were reported as having medicals yesterday, which takes it back up to 25

Except we now know that Sarmiento didn’t have a medical yesterday and is part of the Brighton squad to play tonight. All of the rest is just rumour, wishful thinking and conjecture until actually confirmed as a done deal.

[Cooclaret]

Do you have a concern about the quality, not the numbers.

[whiffa]

Tomorrow night's line-up will be very telling.

It’s not a threat. Not at all. But he will be very unhappy sitting in directors box being booed …
It’s a classic example of a board that are money driven not football driven.

fit for purpose? the purpose being playing a professional football match yeah?

Have we done 3 medicals and decided not to sign any of them
