January Transfer Window Rumours

[boatshed bill]

Them wanting to make the Obafemi deal a permanent one, might be an issue. I don’t know, but has he actually done anything there to warrant them committing to a contract over 3 plus years?

Perhaps us taking Obafemi back might be more appealing!

No, he hasn't. 2 goals in 20 appearances.

[dibraidio]

If we take Obafemi back that means they lose two forward options and they've already lost Andre Gray. Is that even an option, wasn't it a season long loan?

The limit is five in the match day squad? They're aware that they already have 5 and can't play all of them if they get another one in.

[NL Claret]

Nothing to do with the Clarets however noticed Sam Clucas has signed for his hometown club Lincoln City from Oldham of all places and rovers have missed out on Grant Hanley who was gone to Birmingham City.

[burnley007]

The Cannon has fired elsewhere allegedly.

Didn't Clucas reject us to go elsewhere a few years back? Don't think it quite worked out.

Can't remember if he didn't pass the medical or terns could not be agreed?

[Blyclaret]

Can't remember if he didn't pass the medical or terns could not be agreed?

I think it was his wage demands

[NL Claret]

Didn't realise we tried to sign him twice, once from Hull and then Swansea. Personal terms could not be agreed.

[northeastclaret]

Failed his medical , but not announced as the reason.

I think it was a blessing if I remember right because it created an opening for Dwight.

[Ilkley claret]

Cannon to Sheff U for £10m apparently

[Steddyman]

Cannon to Sheff U for £10m apparently

Strengthening an already strong team. We need to do something about our attack and quick.

[Blyclaret]

Lord Lucan. Aka magic Mike to Genoa. Please god make it happen.

[brexit]

Mr Pace if there are any offers for Brownhill please accept them
Calude 2.3

[Row x]

They are signing cornet on loan....

[Conroy92]

Mr Pace if there are any offers for Brownhill please accept them
Calude 2.3

Mr Pace, don't listen to this half wit and get Brownhill to sign a new contract please.

Imagine we need goals and you'd flog our top scorer.

[Blyclaret]

They are signing cornet on loan....

Yes so says Romano

[123EasyasBFC]

If the club don’t think we need a striker then fine but we then need a right winger, a number 10 and cm backup so bring me

Whittaker
Buendia
Shelvey

[Blyclaret]

Whittaker maybe
Shelvey maybe
Buendia … no mention of him.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Buendia came on for Villa the other night so you would think little chance of that happening. Type of player we are crying out for though.

[123EasyasBFC]

Unai Emery on Emi Buendia

“Maybe he can have the possibility to leave. For him, it could be something where he can play more, get more minutes and confidence again."

[claretspice]

Have we been linked with Buendia? My understanding was the only club he'd been seriously linked with was Leeds (reunion with Farke) but that Villa wanted most if not all his very large wages paying.

If you’re expecting the January transfer rumour thread to discuss transfer rumours, you’re going to be disappointed.

[BigGaz]

I CBA going back through my post history where I first discussed it but Buendia is on our list.

[Jakubs Tash]

How do you know who is and isn’t on our list?

[Clovius Boofus]

So, without having to read back through the multitude of chit-chat, are there any actual transfer rumours from decent sources?

[Goliath]

With the lack of football, I'd be a bit concerned about Buendia needing about 6 months to get up to speed. Also likely to pick up niggly injuries.

Hell of a player though

[BigGaz]

How do you know who is and isn’t on our list?

I am obviously not going to to reveal my source but he is someone who is involved with transfers at a Premier League club and as they are relatively local and has both a good working relationship and speaks to agents that move in our circles, he picks up bits and pieces. Doesn't always call them right but in the last transfer thread for example I beat the first mention of Hannibal by about 5 pages.

I and he doesn't know who is on or off our lists either but he does know that we've enquired about Buendia recently.

Some comments about Whittaker's performance today off the Plymouth board.

- I'd take a Packet of Spangles for him just to get rid. His attitude stinks. Strolls around like this level is beneath him

- Played like he couldn’t give a t*ss today.

- Take the money and run after today's performance as long as its all reinvested in the playing staff.

- Such a lazy looking player. He won a foul on the edge of our box in stoppage time and I watched him literally walk to the other end. Not even a jog. Could understand it if he had put a shift in but I used more energy today walking from Lyndhurst Road. Lazy lazy lazy.

- I’d never thought this until today, but he clearly couldn’t be arsed. Al Hajj, Baidoo, Hardie, others all at least putting themselves about. MW was just floating around in a huff. Not worth his place in the team and will be worth less when we’re relegated. Sell.

- We carried him today. Total waste of a shirt

[NewClaret]

This would be a dream signing for me. I absolutely love Buendia.

Leeds heavily linked though so I’m not getting excited.

[Woodleyclaret]

We need Morgan Whittaker in and our box finisher striker asap to push on in our quest for top spot.

[billyhamilton82]

Whittaker and Latte Lath would solve all of our problems.

Easy

[IanMcL]

What we need is our attackers to fire in first time crosses, instead of cutting back and then passing back, allowing the defending team to reset and wait the 10 minimutes until we return.

What a load of old Horlicks. They havent been making Spangles since the 1980s.

Belmmmm.

[Vegas Claret]

If Buendia goes anywhere in this league it will be Leeds.
We didn't replace the quality that left and everything Pace has said indicates that we didn't need to sell more than 3 or 4 - this average squad is on him, the recruitment team and Parker.

I don’t think the average squad is on Parker, signings like sambo, Pires and hountonji already made before Parker arrived. Flemming was a play we haven’t wanted for a while as was Sarmiento.
Worrall, Laurent and Anthony were clearly Parker signings and I would say Laurent and Anthony have been 2 of our better players this season.

It falls on Alan pace allowing kompany to spend 100+ million on players who wanted to jump ship at first chance they got, pace should have rolled the dice and spent money to ensure promotion this season. We are second with an average championship side, we would of been at least 10 points clear had we kept Odobert, Berge and Amdouni or replaced with similar quality

For starters Berge would not play in championship. And Amdouni wanted out. So thats 2 out of your 3 theory gone.

We are far better than an average Championship side.

I watched the game, they've described him to a tea, didn't see him jog, never mind sprint.

We are not an average Championship side, and I don't like the thought of 'rolling the dice'

[123EasyasBFC]

That’s why I said or replaced with similar quality if you read the full post, by all accounts Amdouni wanted the chance to play at a higher level but didn’t down tools and was even in the squad at Sunderland so Alan pace could of said unfortunately we need you this season you can’t go anywhere

I watched the game and would agree - but he did wake up to create their best 2 chances…

[123EasyasBFC]

Why not? I understand the financial element but Leicester did it, they sold two players in Maddison and Barnes and kept the rest of their premier league team today and benefited by winning the league comfortably in the end.

Fulham did it under Marco Silva too.

11 games drawn this season, if we had the quality we had last season we would be absolutely clear at the top
