Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[colne-claret]

All gone quiet on Vitinho going hasn’t it?

He’s got till 2nd September to complete a move to Brazil so no rush.

[Tricky Trevor]

Foster could keep his spirits up if he started scoring but he just doesn’t take up good positions.
How often does he have a near miss or bring a great save from the keeper? Zero for me.
His power running and closing down are his biggest assets. Sadly they are the bonuses in a CF and not his primary job.

Casper off to FC United so guess Trafford stays

Just noticed initial 28 day loan

What are our predictions then before 11pm?

Laurent and done for me.

One more I rekon. Whoever got photographed earlier. Hopefully more though.

[Goliath]

Cracking window for Burnley got over the odds for our in demand players Berge Odobert and O’Shea.

And managed to get rid of a lot of accumulated deadwood,who were mostly lacking any kind of desire to play for this famous football club.

Roll on tommorow hopefully 11 on the pitch and 9 on the bench who are prepared to go the extra mile,and not cave in soon as things get tough

UTC

I don't think we got over the odds for anyone. If anything they were slightly on the low side, especially O'Shea. Odobert was about right, Berge again OK maybe a bit low, would have hoped thr Utd interest would have pushed up his value a bit.

[Steddyman]

How about we offer Foster on a 5 months loan to Plymouth to take Whittaker, give them time to sign a replacement

[123EasyasBFC]

One more I rekon. Whoever got photographed earlier. Hopefully more though.

You think the lad photographed is a defender?

[AGENT_CLARET]

We need an out and out forward, we can't go until January with the three we have currently

[Swizzlestick]

Need another striking option and a number 10. It’s not looking likely.

[AGENT_CLARET]

You think the lad photographed is a defender?

His squad number was 47 so probably an u21 player

[Djs254]

You think the lad photographed is a defender?

If not an academy player I’m guessing that is either Jamal Lewis or Alvyn Sanches.

[Somethingfishy]

Wasn't Odobert 47? Number irrelevant these days as players often like to choose their own.

[RVclaret]

Yep that looks it unless Trafford goes and they’ve got a replacement ready in waiting.

[Somethingfishy]

If not an academy player I’m guessing that is either Jamal Lewis or Alvyn Sanches.

Sanches heavily linked to Celtic

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Sell Trafford buy Whitaker , seems fairly obvious.

[Holtyclaret]

Yep that looks it unless Trafford goes and they’ve got a replacement ready in waiting.

Have we ever had more than two keepers at champ level?

[123EasyasBFC]

His squad number was 47 so probably an u21 player

The squad number was 46 which is down as being Costelloe on the website, maybe it was just a shirt day decided to use

[AGENT_CLARET]

Sell Trafford buy Whitaker , seems fairly obvious.

With the millions we've brought in there's no need to sell Trafford to bring Whittaker in

[TsarBomba]

Sell Trafford buy Whitaker , seems fairly obvious.

It’s not just about the money now, it’s the time left for clubs to get replacements in.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Alan needs a new mansion for his daughter after all the social media effort she’s put in the last week.

[Stonehouse]

From deep depression last weekend all of a sudden I feel like it’s “Bring on the Bastards”

[claretburns]

His squad number was 47 so probably an u21 player

For photos I don't think the number matters, probably just wanted him in a Burnley shirt for a front on photo.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

It’s not just about the money now, it’s the time left for clubs to get replacements in.

We need an exciting feel good transfer , Whitaker would go some way to putting things right I feel.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

I think Laurent and Sanches. I'm hoping for a striker in the mix on top. Not bringing in a striker would be poor. You need a minimum of three to rotate around for a full campaign.

[willsclarets]

If we get a forward player in now it's probably one that's gone completely under the radar.

[Jakubclaret]

It’s not just about the money now, it’s the time left for clubs to get replacements in.

All this should have been worked out far sooner.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Would have liked another left footed option from the right hand side for sure and probably both a 10 and an out and out striker .

Gift Orban whoever he ends up going to will in my opinion be very exciting for that club.

[Pearcey]

We need an exciting feel good transfer , Whitaker would go some way to putting things right I feel.

I’m massively excited by the Hannibal signing to be honest. Another striker would be good though.

[Stonehouse]

Rovers sign Todd Cantwell and think he’s the new Brian Douglas.

[Dark Cloud]

Would have liked another left footed option from the right hand side for sure and probably both a 10 and an out and out striker .

Gift Orban whoever he ends up going to will in my opinion be very exciting for that club.

Agreed about Orban. Obviously loads of talent, but needs it nurturing and bringing out. Someone in the Championship COULD end up with a real gem.

[roperclaret]

Some players aren't good enough, don't care about the club and haven't given us years of service.

Jay Rod is the opposite of that and deserves a bit more respect than is shown to him. If you think it's fair to bundle him in with the likes of Vitinho, who is pretty much the only one I criticise consistently then that's up to you.

Personally I think he deserves more than that. How many players have we had born and raised in the town that have gone on to represent their country and then come back to represent their hometown club for a second time. He could have left numerous times since he re-signed and in the end has chosen loyalty each time.

Really? It was only a couple of pages ago you were having a go at Roberts being devastatingly weak defensively. Not that he’s a full international or anything…

[123EasyasBFC]

The wages won’t work but Danny ings would be perfect to end the window, he’s classed as home grown at the club to so wouldn’t have to have Jay Rod on the bench every week

[summitclaret]

I am hoping that we are keeping Foster, Steve, Josh and crucially Kolo. Think it would be a mistake to let Leeds have Benny. Maybe Scotty can motivate the latter and use tomorrow?

[Wokingclaret]

Sell Trafford buy Whitaker , seems fairly obvious.

We've been told by the Plymouth press that Whitaker isn't happening...sorry

[Goliath]

Really? It was only a couple of pages ago you were having a go at Roberts being devastatingly weak defensively. Not that he’s a full international or anything…

He is weak defensively and has never been a top defender but I'm pretty sure I didn't use the term devastatingly weak.

Being an international for Wales isn't the same as being an England international..He also wanted to leave the club and sign for Leeds a few months ago and spent most of his time here under Dyche sulking as well. I'm not sure of the relevance of this though unless you think Roberts and Rodriguez have the same sort of legacy at the club which clearly isn't the case.

[123EasyasBFC]

Two loans I’ve heard about that aren’t on the radar (haven’t read everything mind) to come

Are you going to tell us the name of the second loan you heard, after you said orban was one of them

[Shaggy]

So would everyone be happy if that was all the business done at the moment?

[Jjjack]

Are you going to tell us the name of the second loan you heard, after you said orban was one of them

Orban to Sunderland apparently.

[jedi_master]

Really think we need a striker - hope there’s something being worked on.

[Jjjack]

I'd like us to bring in a really pacey striker.

[roperclaret]

He is weak defensively and has never been a top defender but I'm pretty sure I didn't use the term devastatingly weak.

It’s not about Jay or Roberts, the relevance is that you seem to think it’s ok to criticise some players, but don’t like it when others do if you don’t agree.

[123EasyasBFC]

Orban to Sunderland apparently.

Yeah I have seen, if was just one of the two potential loans that they had been told

[Holtyclaret]

Goliath 4 Jay

[claretspice]

As it stands, the squad is primarily short of a replaceme for Obafemi. If Benson doesn't go, we've got enough wide right, we've got Tresor who as it stands is still our player at no 10 - but the big gap is an option up front given Jay is 35 and Hountondji (whilst I thought he showed some promise at Wolves) is still transitioning to this country and standard of football, and is raw with it.

[Since62]

Cracking window for Burnley got over the odds for our in demand players Berge Odobert and O’Shea.

UTC

After relegation the best players staying in the PL was to be expected. Good money in and good luck to them.
Not bothered about any of the others leaving and totally agree with the above.

[burnley007]

So would everyone be happy if that was all the business done at the moment?

Nope.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Agree another number 9 is vital because for various reasons we cannot rely on who we have for the entirety of the next 4 months.

I still think Tresor is off, too many Nice rumours, so I’m a bit concerned behind the striker. I still feel one big signing is needed or we may be falling a bit short.

The trouble with the likes of Orban is we only have 1 starting spot in that role, and he wouldn’t come here to sit the bench. That’s a big issue in that position, wingers switch sides and tend to just play 60-70 minutes so there is room for a few. The lone striker, less so.

[colne-claret]

Maybe that Lotomba is part of a deal for Tresor?
