Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Clovius Boofus]

Sorry, that's Sky Sports News.

[warksclaret]

There is no pleasing some followers.Just go back to last Friday and the Sunderland game and compare it to right now

[CoolClaret]

Hannibal is a pressing machine and signs from the other night suggests Parker will use him there a lot. And I think he is quite technical / creative. Flemming will add goals too (if he signs, you are right he’s not confirmed yet, but it was him landing on the heli at our training ground it seems). I forgot to add Brownhill who has 2 goals from 3 games.

I like Hannibal - think if he's deployed there it's more of a 'false 10' (hate that expression) akin to the Hendrick role when Dyche played him there - just not seeing the players to unlock a low block and where the goals are coming from?

[Mark the Claret]

Will Tresor play?

Thought he'd gone out on loan?

[Holtyclaret]

Burnley going into the second season in a row with one recognised left back at the club.

Dodgson and Humphries can cover, also Delcroix at some point and Esteve if really injury plagued at lb

[wadeswondergoal]

when does the loan window close ? 30 there, I thought we had to register 25 ?

Think players U21 don’t have to be registered in the 25 man squad? I could be wrong though.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Tresor probably gets announced late tonight

[Anonymous Claret]

If we sign Flemming I think this will have been an outstanding window. Yes, obviously we could have done with a very good forward but these players are usually the most expensive and most difficult to sign.

We ****** the league a couple of years with Jay and Ash as our main forwards. Who knows what Hountondji may be like if he is played in his proper position as a central striker. He may play the Barnes role perfectly by bringing others into play. He's certainly a big unit.

I would much rather play Blackburn a few months down the line once the new signings had settled in and started to gel but I still can't wait for tomorrow.

[BurnleyFC]

I’ve no idea if Flemming (or even Whittaker) are any good, but we definitely need reinforcements up front.

[BigBadBarnes]

Trafford, Hdlaky, Green
Sambo, Roberts
Esteve, Worrall, Beyer, Ekdal, Humphreys, CJ, Delcroix
Pies, Dodgson
Cullen, Brownhill, Hannibal, Flemming, Ramsey, HNM
Benson, Anthony, Sarmiento, Koleosho, Tresor, Ramsay, Ageyi
Jay, Foster, Hountondji


That’s as strong as any squad in this division

I think people are in the mindset of the Premier league still. As you say, that squad on paper is good as any in the league, and to me it is good enough for promotion.

[Vegas Claret]

Think players U21 don’t have to be registered in the 25 man squad? I could be wrong though.

that makes more sense - thanks for that

[Mark the Claret]

We can get a forward in January if needed, I'm sure we've got enough to stay in contention till then.

[jos]

How far back did you scroll to find that? Just to have a cheap pop. Or had you saved it?
Whatever let it go fella, breath enjoy the day.

Hello TT, see what I’ve done here, I’ve waited a while,(busy living a good life) and while I’m relaxing I’ve come back to this post simply by looking at the ‘notification’ button.

And to answer your question, at the time when I logged in the last page I looked at was right there in front of me with someone posting ITK info which wasn’t correct, as I’d just seen a reveal video on X/twitter which wasn’t a ‘multi reveal’

But you’re right in a way, it should mean less than nothing to me who says what on this forum, but at the time I was a bit fed up with the amount of misinformation being “announced” and reacted accordingly.

Anyway I apologise to the OP (whoever it was), it may well have been posted in good faith.

[bfcmik]

Ramsey mentioned twice, and neither he nor Redmond will be registered for the 1st half season. Some are under the age we need to register them.

[wadeswondergoal]

The question is, can Scotty Parker get a tune out of them?

[wadeswondergoal]

Apologies, I did it from memory and the second Ramsay was meant to be Redmond.

scored 22 from midfield for a poor Millwall side. I'm delighted we've got him

[Dark Cloud]

Agreed-if not starting as a CH he will be my first choice at LB with Pires as No 2. Humphreys too good for our bench

I'm not sure of his current fitness, but Dodgson played a decent number of games for Dundee at left back last season and apparently shone. Yes, the standard isn't wonderful, but he's gained valuable experience and surely can be in the pecking order in that position if pushed.

[jedi_master]

Very happy with Flemming - I was at Deepdale with my mate a couple of years ago watching him absolutely murder them, scored a hat-trick. Strong, good finisher.

[Turftalker]

Also missing Laurent from Stoke who signed today.

Jay and Ash were playing as deep lying forwards to link play with our wide men and even fullbacks coming infield at times for scoring opportunities.

Just look at how many goals we scored through Tella, Benson, Zaroury and our fullbacks. Well over 40 goals there.

Trust me, Fleming's good.
Very good.

Dodgson must be injured surely...havent seen him at all in pre -season or in any games so far

[Vegas Claret]

Also missing Laurent from Stoke who signed today.

another big man, 6ft 2. We've added a lot of physicality this window

[jedi_master]

That was definitely something needed. I’ll never forget pre-game last season (think it was Everton at home) watching us warm up. Berge looked like Dad playing with his young kids.

[Clovius Boofus]

Flemming is a highly-rated Championship player.

[Goalposts]

I remember VK saying it takes nearly 30 games to get a team understanding and playing together . He did it in a bout 12 in his first year… could do with that repeating

[burnley007]

But we rip up the squad every season and start again.
Clever.

[roperclaret]

Murger is right, the strikers we currently have aren't good enough.

Foster has his problems, possibly wanted to leave, and has an extremely poor record. Jay is just too old to be doing it week in week out, as good as he once was. Hountondji is way off the standard at the moment, it's wishful thinking of the highest order to imagine he'll be the answer.

I remember this when we sold Austin

[BigBadBarnes]

Think players U21 don’t have to be registered in the 25 man squad? I could be wrong though.

That's only Trafford, Agyei and Koleosho this season I think? Never know when the cut off point is as we have a few who turned 21 earlier this year
Assuming Flemming is signed, and Vitinho, Tresor and Benson go, then that is 25

[ksrclaret]

Hot air from a lunatic

[Vegas Claret]

I think Flemming is currently injured, not sure how long he is out for - I don't think he's played this season

[Anonymous Claret]

Just look at how many goals we scored through Tella, Benson, Zaroury and our fullbacks. Well over 40 goals there.

Yes, they were but they were still the target men albeit in a less traditional way. They still occupied the centre halves by draging them deep which created the space for Tella, Benson and Zaroury, Maatsen

[burnleymik]

Browny on the wind up?

Exactly, so they weren't main goal scorers.

From what I've seen of Parkers teams, the striker plays a different role - Solanke & Mitrovic bagged for fun under him in the Championship.

How was he expecting to survive in the PL based on this? It's ********.

[BigBadBarnes]

Foster can't do the role of Barnes anyway. Hold up play isn't in his strengths. Let's hope a couple of tricking wingers on either side of him and a solid midfield can create chances that he can get on the end of.

[Stonehouse]

If we can keep,Esteve and Koleosho after the disastrous days since the dodgy WhatsApp assessing the players was leaked with the replacements that have come in it’ll have been a good window.

That wasn't the way we played against Cardiff or Luton. SP will probably have to adapt and make the best use of the players that he has. City have been outstanding since Haaland arrived but they did alright before he went there also.

[123EasyasBFC]

Think players U21 don’t have to be registered in the 25 man squad? I could be wrong though.

Under 21s perm players don’t have to be registered so that’s Egan-Riley, Dodgson, Hannibal, Ramsey, ageyi and koleosho. Humphreys is on loan so even though he’s 21 or under he has to be registered

[boatshed bill]

Off topic question: do you drink it? I'm told it's pretty dangerous!

[BigBadBarnes]

I think Flemming is currently injured, not sure how long he is out for - I don't think he's played this season

Injured or 'injured'
If he's passing a medical today I think we know which one

[mdd2]

That's only Trafford, Agyei and Koleosho this season I think? Never know when the cut off point is as we have a few who turned 21 earlier this year
Assuming Flemming is signed, and Vitinho, Tresor and Benson go, then that is 25

Have to under 21 1/1/24
Loans under 21 have to be in the 25
Ramsay Hannibal Koleshko Dodson Ageyei Egan Riley all under 21 and don’t have to be in the 25

[Guller Bull]

If Trésor fails to go to France then Ajax are interested and their window doesn’t close till Monday

[Slurpy]

There goes the Tresor Redemption arc

[Elizabeth]

There seems to be an acceptance we've got Flemming. Are some not jumping the gun?

[gawthorpe_view]

I think Flemming is currently injured, not sure how long he is out for - I don't think he's played this season

Reports say he's got a calf injury and will be out until September so hopefully available after the international break.
If he signs of course.

[PWBFC]

That Tresor tweet is a fake account isn't it?

[Steddyman]

I think Flemming is currently injured, not sure how long he is out for - I don't think he's played this season

We have quite a few players who were "injured" too.

[Conroy92]

Need a striker still with Flemming
