January Transfer Window Rumours

[Aclaret]

There’s absolutely no way any club pays 40-50m for tella

What his worth 123 you reckon then ?

[boatshed bill]

What his worth 123 you reckon then ?

Would yo be surprised at £30million?
I wouldn't.

[123EasyasBFC]

What his worth 123 you reckon then ?

Given that after the season he had for us there wasn’t a sniff of premier league interest, he ended up going for 23m euros. In the summer he will turn 26, I would say personally 20m would be a fair fee for him.

Obviously if he has a blinding last half of the season and is a starter week in week out and is scoring goals then his value goes up

[Newcastleclaret93]

Would yo be surprised at £30million?
I wouldn't.

20m is probably about right

[Oldparkwood]

Why are we still talking about Tella? The rumour was bullsh@t move on.

[Conroy92]

Benrahma was the rumour that I wanted to come off this window and I hope there's something in it..

[burnleycclaret]

Not sure why certain posters keep doing it.

Philip Billing -----> Napoli !

Storming to the Serie A title with Gilmour, McTominay and Billing in the middle of the park...

[Blyclaret]

Any news on he jonjo shelvey deal?

[AfloatinClaret]

To be fair, most men continue to have a soft spot for the subject of their first w*** fantasy; it's been Sophia Loren with me.

Only if Val Singleton off Blue Peter wasn't available.

Blackburn's annual battle against promotion gathers pace with the aquisition of League One Birmingham's unwanted defender Sanderson on a free.

Blackburn's annual battle against promotion

Brilliant!

[Dodobdobodobo]

I can’t find the link now but I just read this morning that we are looking at Jeffrey Schlupp as well as B’s

And Adam Forshaw. Thank god we didn’t have to play them today.

It’s either collapsed like my lad was told in his group chat or the club are doing what they did with egan and getting him to prove his fitness for couple of weeks first maybe

Thank you.

Which would seem a very sensible thing to do.

[123EasyasBFC]

Thank you.

Not fact btw just my opinion

[NewClaret]

Good call on the Egan example.

When news first broke ahead of Reading I assumed we wanted him signed to get some minutes in his legs for that game, but maybe we’re just letting him train with us while we assess him?

Certainly can’t see us wanting to pay wages unless he’s ready to go in to the squad.

May also be more of an option we are looking at if other CM targets don’t come off?

Tbf, didn't we get an unwanted Scott Arfield from Huddersfield? He didn't turn out so bad

[TheFamilyCat]

I think some folk need to start a "Transfer window Facts" thread, saves them coming on this "Rumours" thread moaning about sources.

There's a difference between questioning and moaning.

[Hipper]

To be fair, most men continue to have a soft spot for the subject of their first w*** fantasy; it's been Sophia Loren with me.

Mine was Mrs Moore, an art teacher at school. She's no longer a fantasy though as I discovered there was better.

[louieollie]

I can’t find the link now but I just read this morning that we are looking at Jeffrey Schlupp as well as B’s

This wasn't a link it was one of those " Burnley should look at" from one of those wanna be reporters ( think we've got shed loads on here too )

[Taffy on the wing]

[123EasyasBFC]

Taken from X

Hjalmar Ekdal, 26, is about to be loaned out from Burnley in January. QPR, Stoke, Middlesbrough and Glasgow Rangers are in talks over a deal. Groningen, Empoli, Sampdoria and Brescia have also contacted about a loan.

Would be a massive shame, thought he was excellent when he came on today

[Ampth7]

that’s made me chuckle

[Ric_C]

Really like Ekdal, i'd have him over Worrall as backup. Think that would be a mistake

[jedi_master]

Ekdal is too good to be a 5th choice centre back at Burnley. Better we get him games and build his value back up.

[morninbob]

Ekdal should be 3rd choice now he is fully fit.

[123EasyasBFC]

Ekdal should be 3rd choice now he is fully fit.

I agree ability wise but when you have Egan Riley and esteve as starters, if we are looking to bring a defender on to go into the backline and do old school defending that’s Worrall and Egan isn’t it

[NewClaret]

Ekdal should be 3rd choice now he is fully fit.

Agree

[Row x]

Agree

I think he's leaving on loan very soon

Probably the best guy who can carry the ball out of defence would be a shame to lose him.

[jojomk1]

Would hate to see us loan out anyone to another Championship team
Surely even Alan can grasp that

[taio]

Why, so long as it's not a promotion contender?

[123EasyasBFC]

Wouldn’t mind him going to Boro, they play football, we have already played them twice and would still be at a decent standard

[Marney&Mee]

Like Mr Moore?

[Marney&Mee]

Why? As long as they’re not promotion rivals. Strengthens a qpr or Stoke defence when they’re playing Leeds, sheff u etc

[NewClaret]

I think he's leaving on loan very soon

I hope not, would be a big mistake in my view

Especially if we keep Delcroix ahead of him

[bfcjg]

Rangers would be a good fit for him, or as mentioned strengthening a lower teams defence against promotion rivals. Anyone who thinks Alan Pace and Scott Parker don't know this is naive.

[Goliath]

Why on earth would we keep temporary emergency signing John Egan and get rid of Swedish international Ekdal. That's a crazy decision.

[123EasyasBFC]

A permanent deal would be crazy but I can understand a loan move, Egan isn’t going to stay past this season surely so Ekdal can come back in the summer

[Row x]

Because one is match fit, the other isn't?

[Goliath]

Egan hasn't played much football in the last 12 months either. I'd take the better player over the one with better match fitness.

[boyyanno]

Is it though. I'll give you this example: one of them will stay and probably get very few minutes with us. The other will hopefully go somewhere and play.

I'd rather have Egan as the back up with Ekdal trying to retain some value by getting regular minutes with a view to come back next season if deemed good enough.

[Row x]

Egan hasn't played much football in the last 12 months either. I'd take the better player over the one with better match fitness.

Tresor is better than our wingers but not match fit, whereas they are
Who do you start on Friday?

[randomclaret2]

Because we have four senior central midfielders already. Rather use one of the U21s as depth there than waste a wage on snail paced Shelvey to probably play about about 180 minutes all season and block progression routes for younger players. Bauress, Veevers, McDermott or Hugill are all perfectly capable of being emergency backup and picking up 5 minutes here or there.

Better still look to bring in a long term replacement for Bronwhill who we can phase in over the next month before he walks away on a free.

Fair play Mattster...I sort of disagreed with your post the other day but based on Bauress and McDermott today you certainly had a very valid point !

[123EasyasBFC]

Both lads had excellent games but playing a fa cup game against a reading team who were extremely poor on the day is a completely different pressure to playing in the championship for a team chasing promotion
