Summer transfer window

[ollieclarets8]

I’m not sure many did sell for a profit did they?

I know Odobert did but apart from that the rest are much of a muchness arnt they?

Posted losses overall due to debt, but made a profit overall. And of course he bought players that got us promoted. Kompany was successful for us, even though it was very short term.

Zaroury bought for £3.5m. Sold for £7.5m.
Al Dakhil bought for £4m. Sold for £7.5m.
Berge bought for £12m. Sold for £25m.
Muric bought for £2.5m. Sold for £10m.
Vitinho bought for £1m. Sold for £7m.

It does sound bloody impressive

And what are Estève, Trafford, Cullen worth now?

Kompany, bought for £0. Sold for £10m

I make that about £55m profit, obvs less agent fees etc. But we also bring in loan fees for others too so it sorts of nets off.

Whatever we lose on a few other players, it won’t exceed that. That tells me we have quite a bit left for strengthening.

[Durban]

Two young French prospects joining.

Not been given the names (yet) but one central midfielder and one left sided defender.

Academy or 1st team players?

Is ‘ Ayman Kari’ the midfielder from PSG. We was linked with him in January?

[NewClaret]

If it’s him I can’t see it being a first team signing.

Left back?

Would be a bit worried we were another left CB for first team.

[RicardoMontalban]

Is there anything in this rumour to indicate they’re for the first team?

[Spijed]

It does sound bloody impressive

Cullen won't be worth anything.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Cullen won't be worth anything.

Eh?

[GetIntoEm]

He means he would be worth 5m or so. Nothing huge

[NewClaret]

Is there anything in this rumour to indicate they’re for the first team?

No and he did say young prospects so maybe development players.

[RicardoMontalban]

No and he did say young prospects so maybe development players.

Lack of names and/or any media buzz suggests so. That said, with recent Cat 1 update it may still be exciting, if a little bit of delayed gratification.

[NewClaret]

True. I get as excited about our academy signings as first team anyway. That’s probably not true if we were signing really established players for the first team but given we tend to go in to Europe where I’ve never heard of the players anyway, a young lad from PSG for the academy is still exciting.

Hopefully the Cat 1 status and PL2 next season will mean we can attract some players that might not previously been accessible to us and put on a decent show!

[Newcastleclaret93]

With 8 or 9 prem teams in Europe this season, it’s got to be great news for Burnley and our hopes of staying up.

[SirBob]

If it’s him I can’t see it being a first team signing.

Spent this season on loan at FC Lorient, 14 games and 1 goal in the French top flight, not amazing stats but shows he’s highly regarded

[Chester Perry]

It does sound bloody impressive

And what are Estève, Trafford, Cullen worth now?

we would have a clearer understanding if we knew:
- the actual cost of acquisition
- the actual selling price
- any associated costs of 'disposal' (to use the industry term) including but not limited to sell on clauses, agent fees and if
- any conditional payments were activated in contract for any of these players.

[Quickenthetempo]

What do people think about Virginia coming in if Trafford leaves. Leaves Everton out of contract. 25 and wants first team football.

Everton fans seem to rate him. Been alright when I have seen him.

[Dark Cloud]

Cullen won't be worth anything.

Cullen is worth his weight in gold and more to a championship club. Maybe rather less to a PL club.

[Spijed]

Cullen is worth his weight in gold and more to a championship club. Maybe rather less to a PL club.

Obviously, but in terms of a fee probably nothing.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Is ‘ Ayman Kari’ the midfielder from PSG. We was linked with him in January?

Was supposed to go on loan to St Etienne at the end of the window but was too unfit so they cancelled it.

[Vegas Claret]

Obviously, but in terms of a fee probably nothing.

when you consider Sheff Utd just paid 10 million for Cannon, Swansea wanted over that from us for Obafemi you would argue that Cullen would fetch 10+ comfortably - fortunately he's not for sale

[Foshiznik]

Obviously, but in terms of a fee probably nothing.

If he played for a different team and we were linked with him, I’d have no issue at all with us paying up to £10m for him. I’d say he’s worth more but I am probably in the minority. Absolute rolls Royce of a player imo

[Newcastleclaret93]

Bit of a strange one twitter

But Besiktas fans seem to be suggesting Amdouni is heading there.

No idea why I can’t see any links

[agreenwood]

But Besiktas fans seem to be suggesting Amdouni is heading there.

No they aren’t. They’ve started a hashtag to persuade him to go there because his dad is Turkish and Amdouni supporter Besiktas as a boy.

[KRBFC]

There would absolutely top half prem clubs even those qualifying for Europe who'd take tarks ahead of us.

Need to be realistic

Well obviously they wouldn’t or they’d have taken him when he was 3 years younger and available on a free transfer.

[KRBFC]

I’m not sure many did sell for a profit did they?

I know Odobert did but apart from that the rest are much of a muchness arnt they?

No

Anass 3 went for 9
Muric 2.5 went for 10
Dara 8 went for 15
Al Dakhil 3 went for 8
Berge 12.5 went for 20
Odobert 8 went for 30+
Vitinho 1 went for 8

Esteve and Trafford will hugely boost that too.

[Jakubclaret]

Kompany might have done a sh*t trick at the end but he left us in a better place financially & more importantly his departure even benefited us financially. Overall it's difficult to find 1 negative even with the relegation that could have happened with anybody.

[Newcastleclaret93]

No they aren’t. They’ve started a hashtag to persuade him to go there because his dad is Turkish and Amdouni supporter Besiktas as a boy.

That makes sense.

[fidelcastro]

That makes sense.

Two posters have answered your question on players we made a profit on.

The trouble is, the transfer fees (which are always undisclosed) they claim to be in-the-know about are rather different.

Either, they're reading different dodgy sites or just making figures up.

[mdd2]

Just read the Humphries will cost us £15million with percentage sell on.No idea how true that is. Seems more than has been previously suggested.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Cullen is worth his weight in gold and more to a championship club. Maybe rather less to a PL club.

Cullen’s weight in gold is only about £3m, I reckon we have to find a more valuable material to price him

[mdd2]

At 10st he is worth £5,532,800!
To think Salah is more precious than gold

[randomclaret2]

Humphreys signing officially confirmed by the club...4 year deal

[Spijed]

Humphreys signing officially confirmed by the club...4 year deal

Didn't he actually sign quite a while ago?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Humphreys signing officially confirmed by the club...4 year deal

I think he’s going to be a really good player for us long term.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes Esteves natural replacement

[Hibsclaret]

Not sure about replacement. I think he plays next season alongside Esteve. Was faultless in a back 5 last season at Southampton and may even start as left back in a 4. We shall see. Great signing.

[FeedTheArf]

Quotes from Ekdal…

“Could I stay at Groningen? There is always a chance, of course. We are talking about it now and have to see what will happen. But there are several factors, like my club (Burnley) in England.

It’s not unrealistic, but of course there will be other options. I want to wait and see. I want to consider all the options.”

[brexit]

Where are we with needing, at least 8 home-grown players in the 25 man squad.

[Grimsdale]

Where are we with needing, at least 8 home-grown players in the 25 man squad.

Of the players we had in the squad last season who are technically still with us, I make it 13 players:
Trafford
Roberts
Humphries
CJER
Worrall
Laurent
Cullen
Brownhill
Anthony
Edwards
Ramsey
Hannibal
Barnes

[EMANTO2]

Seems like we are looking at Josip Juranović from Union Berlin, a really solid right back in my opinion and was class for Croatia in their last world cup.

Seems like a sought after player. 29, so well experienced which will almost certainly be a theme this summer

also Foster, two keepers, Ekdal, Sonner, Benson, Koleosho and Mike,the Pimpernel,Tresor

[Hedontplayforyou]

Link to Josip Juranovic a right back from Hertha Berlin / by Graeme Bailey on Twitter - (we know by now he’s got a rep for being off it)

A multi club link again.

[Commy]

Missed Flemming

Flemming isn't home grown. He didn't come to England until 2022.

[KateR]

I think he’s going to be a really good player for us long term.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes Esteves natural replacement

where do you think Beyer fits in ??
