January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Jakubclaret]

But we are likely to sign a clear upgrade on Chris Wood.

Some of the more naive posters thought orsic was in the bag let’s wait & see what actually happens & believe in twitter less & believe in reality more.

[arise_sir_charge]

Apologies everybody, I missed Jakub off my list is weapons earlier.

[Quickenthetempo]

And you know exactly what happened here do you? If so, you're the only one.

Alan Pace flew to Zagreb himself to try and get this over the line, so don't blame him.

I only have the same information as everyone else out there that journalists are saying.

Even you must be concerned that it took 6 days to negotiate a £7m deal that ended in failure.

6 days for a small deal when we have just had 25m given to us upfront.

[ElectroClaret]

Dinamo would look pretty silly if they allowed a deal to go through now after this morning’s announcement.

Yes, that's true.
However, maybe the extra dosh would no doubt be some compensation for their embarrassment.

They'd get over it.

[Spijed]

Well how on earth did we manage to sign Cornet then?

If there was a suggestion this morning that money was an issue you’d have a point. There isn’t.

[Carport]

Lancs Live understands the deal was pretty much finalised, including a fee, but the player had a change of heart.

If that is true he must surely have been nobbled by the Ultras?

[Jakubclaret]

Well how on earth did we manage to sign Cornet then?

Have we paid for him yet? I’m not suggesting we won’t.

[KRBFC]

If there was a suggestion this morning that money was an issue you’d have a point. There isn’t.

The Croatian journo tweeted

''Dinamo rejected €10m offer from @BurnleyOfficial. ''

[Burnley Ace]

If the player had a change of heart you would have thought the statement would reflect that, it reads more like the club wouldn’t let him go.

[RicardoMontalban]

The Croatian journo tweeted

''Dinamo rejected €10m offer from @BurnleyOfficial. ''

That doesn’t suggest money was the issue. All that says is the bid was ultimately rejected.

[Burnley1989]

Apologies everybody, I missed Jakub off my list is weapons earlier.

[Wokingclaret]

Plan B, oh if only Plan B, do we have Plan B, Plan B, if only Plan B

[ClaretTony]

Some of the more naive posters thought orsic was in the bag let’s wait & see what actually happens & believe in twitter less & believe in reality more.

No signing is in the bag until it’s done but I was of the opinion that this one was all but done. I’ve posted previously today that this morning’s announcement from Dinamo has amazed me given what I’d been told.

Doesn’t make me naive at all though. I was getting information from trusted sources. I believe those sources are as amazed as I am today.

[HahaYeah]

Are players not ever allowed to leave DZ?

Are these bad blue boys really so terrifying?

Maybe there's a less dramatic emotional and more mundane explanation for what's gone on.

[Spijed]

Have we paid for him yet? I’m not suggesting we won’t.

Eh? Cornet is registered to us. He's our player, whether we pay or not.

Do you think Lyon can suddenly take Cornet back?

[Quickenthetempo]

If there was a suggestion this morning that money was an issue you’d have a point. There isn’t.

Some have blamed the club, some have blamed the player.

But not once was it ever reported we had agreed a fee.

I'm sure it will all come out.

2 and a half days left. Please be quicker Alan.

Do we have a back up plan in place to move on to another target now there’s no orsic?

[CrosspoolClarets]

Not rocket science. Club had a change of heart due to fan pressure and the risk of losing Champions League dosh. Player must be gutted, but he won’t make a fuss when he’s a international playing for the same fans.

The crux here is do we have a plan B. Persuading Man U to give us Lingard for 5 months would be brilliant, ditto Ramsay. A player in the hole could mean a stronger midfield and Cornet out wide (Dyche worries about tracking back but we are reaching a point where at home as a minimum we need attacking power). So we shall see.

[ClaretAL]

To be fair the lad is probably scared witless for his family who live there with some of the comments and threats their ultras were throwing around

[ClaretPete001]

Good job this board wasn't about in the 60's I don't think we paid money for a player from Alex Elder in 1959 to Frank Casper in 1967 I've got faith in Mr Pace to come up with the goods.

Good job it wasn't around in the 60s/70s you would have got slaughtered saying that about the chairman of the football club.

[Rombald]

Some of the more naive posters thought orsic was in the bag let’s wait & see what actually happens & believe in twitter less & believe in reality more.

Wise words. Perhaps you could use the same logic for your ill thought out guessing about the clubs finances, transfer dealings etc

[duncandisorderly]

Just for my own clarity - if a fee had been agreed and we were therefore at contract stage, could DZ still back out, or is the acceptance of the fee a contract in and of itself?

[ClaretTony]

That’s spot on - hard to believe now but over eight years without a signing.

[Jakubclaret]

Like I’ve always said let’s just see what happens, we will know more about the window in February.

[gandhisflipflop]

We should have sent Dyche out to batter the ultras.

[ClaretTony]

Just for my own clarity - if a fee had been agreed and we were therefore at contract stage, could DZ still back out, or is the acceptance of the fee a contract in and of itself?

Anyone can back out at any stage. If we look back a few years we had both Dorrans and Lansbury sat at the Turf with everything agreed and then their respective clubs pulling the plug.

[Mala591]

The sun’s come out in Burnley! Quick, roll out Weghorst with his Claret & Blue scarf on!

[Indecisive]

Is the consensus now that the Wout signing is the one ‘likely’ one and the other potential (although I think to most people viewed as a real long shot) is Ramsey?

[onewillieirvine]

Mind you CT it was worth the wait, Frank Casper was a great signing for us. Signing a player of his ilk would go down well this weekend. I expect Mr Pace will be a busy man.

[Jakubclaret]

Eh? Cornet is registered to us. He's our player, whether we pay or not.

Do you think Lyon can suddenly take Cornet back?

That’s very true I won’t argue with any of that but facts are facts & there’s a debt outstanding in him put it this way if we wasn’t to honour that debt we would be chased for the money & legal action would be forthcoming.

[Lancasterclaret]

The more info that comes out, the more its obvious that BFC couldn't do anything else

it happens sadly

Course, if you are in the habit of blaming BFC and the board for everything, then you won't believe it, but to be honest, no one really cares if you do or don't as blaming BFC and the board for everything tends to be a bit wearying to read after a while

[RVclaret]

Yep

[arise_sir_charge]

Like I’ve always said let’s just see what happens, we will know more about the window in February.

If you say that, try doing it, as opposed to continually peddling your ill informed conjecture.

[Goody1975]

One small positive is that this has happened on Saturday morning and not Monday morning.

Alan will keep chipping away and we'll see where we are on Monday night, hopefully far stronger than we are now.

[IWOODLOVETT]

Yes, but our Ultras were sitting in the Bob Lord stand drinking cocoa.

[minnieclaret]

He’s contracted to DZ, this is on them.
I hope he stubs his toe tonight and can’t play tomorrow or better still bangs in an OG from 30yds.
I’d still have him in Summer, he’s a player.
I’m in Zagreb in May I'll pop round and have a word.

[Jakubclaret]

If you say that, try doing it, as opposed to continually peddling your ill informed conjecture.

But this “conjecture” will it transpire into the truth in February.

[RVclaret]

I’m sure Alan has suffered from several break downs in large deals throughout his career on Wall Street and by nature won’t be a quitter. I still have faith.

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

There's always Jack Wilshire.

I'll get mi coat.

[Tall Paul]

lol Jakub

[duncandisorderly]

Anyone can back out at any stage. If we look back a few years we had both Dorrans and Lansbury sat at the Turf with everything agreed and then their respective clubs pulling the plug.

In the final stages of a transfer then I presume a contract is also signed between the two clubs agreeing to the fees and what not.
So its entirely possible that Osric had signed a contract with us and then had the rug pulled from under him by his own chairman.

[duncandisorderly]

There's always Jack Wilshire.

I'll get mi coat.

Looking weirdly tempting, like a 5/10 at closing time on a saturday night.

[Wokingclaret]

Yes but, we are still a boat without the right paddles and we are heading down the river!

Does anyone really believe either Lingard or Ramsey want to come to Burnley. I don't.

[arise_sir_charge]

[Conroy92]

Imagine the throbber meltdown if we don't sign Weghorst.

Aye, would be funny to see fans unhappy with two main targets falling through two days before the window shuts and our main striker sold. Or not.
Grow up.

[Carport]

Wilshere anyone? Playmaker we’re looking for similar to Defour but too injury prone? Big article in DM yesterday saying he is looking for a PL club.

[ClaretPete001]

That’s spot on - hard to believe now but over eight years without a signing.

Without wishing to become the persistent purveyor of doom we won the first division championship in 1959 by 1967 we had become a middle ranking team heading towards relegation in 70/71.

Doom doom where's Captain Mainwaring when you need him....!

[DuckworthsEA]

That’s very true I won’t argue with any of that but facts are facts & there’s a debt outstanding in him put it this way if we wasn’t to honour that debt we would be chased for the money & legal action would be forthcoming.

As is the exact same for nearly every single footballer.

So what’s the point you’re trying to make?
