Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[boatshed bill]

If posters on this message board should only suggest signing the players for whom they know all about their personal circumstances and if they'd be willing to play here, well...

Alternatively, just treat this message board for what is it and you won't need to be so astonished. An informal discussion website for fans that covers all aspects of the club and beyond.

Well said. It's meant to be fun

Alan Nixon saying we are trying as hard as we can to sign Cornet

And when asked if it was over then he said “far from it”

Here’s hoping...

There's a difference between "name of player - I think he's a good player", even "name of player - would love to see him at Burnley", which would qualify as informal discussions about players, and "name of player - why aren't we all over him, it's a disgrace and a shows a real lack of ambition, the club is a shambles", which is (often) astonishing.

Record fee and wages apparently. Says it takes time when big money involved.

How anyone could say the club/Pace aren't trying to strengthen is beyond me.

Very rarely see any comments like that. Usually just people putting forward players they thing can do a job

[boatshed bill]

Something I'm finding hard to understand is why we got rid of Benson and are said to be looking at Bannan.
Hardly makes sense??

[jrgbfc]

Maybe Benson made it clear he wanted to go and play first team football rather than be a squad man at Burnley and play 3 games a year? Fair play to him if so.

There is no proof at all we are offering this to Cornet or any other player, so you can't say for sure the club/Pace are trying to strengthen.....it's fake news unless the club officially come out with a quote

Not much place on this thread for sense sadly, as displayed by the nonsense you had to reply to

Is there much of the latter on this thread when confined to an isolated player? I'm not sure there is. I've seen those posts in relation to the transfer policy as a whole, but very, very rarely about one player in particular.

No that’s what Nixon said. Would be up there with our highest earners apparently. Not as much as dyche though..!

[Firthy]

Just wondering with Cornet if Lyon want to sell and have accepted our offer but the player himself isn't keen on joining us. Seems to be more than just money holding this up.

[boatshed bill]

That's very likely but maybe the offer from Barnsley was better than ours, which would be disappointing.
If we can't integrate our own U23s into the first team, but think we can do better with the likes of Stephens ( and Bannon) there is somethi g not quite right.

[ksrclaret]

It is, or if it can't be fun, at least try and keep it pleasant. Some get themselves far too worked up over what gets posted on an informal message board.

[Elizabeth]

There’s plenty of sense written on this thread , it’s just ignored!

Oh Nixon....it must be true

Oh the irony!

This thread is full of imbecilic posts like that.

It's the mentality of a certain breed of supporter. If we have money, we need to spend it 'now'. If we are negotiating to buy a player, why is it not straight forward like on a computer game? I honestly think that some look at how quickly the money rich clubs can do things and think we should be the same.

It's bonkers. We still need to be frugal even with our new-found backers.

I struggle to think of a club that has raised its profile as much as ours has without the backing of some beneficiary or other, and managed to maintain it. Just let people do their jobs, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Good. I’d much prefer that signing over Cornet.

[Down_Rover]

Nobody knows what is going on with Cornet. Maybe we have agreed all the terms but would prefer Maitland Niles and will only sign Cornet when that deal falls through. Maybe, as others say, he simply does not want to come to Burnley.

We are not entitled to know and time will tell

[Iloveyoubrady]

Presume cornet would be first choice with the coverage it’s getting. Nixon still suggesting move could happen but idk if he has a clue or not. AMN would be nice too but no rumours recently about that. I’d guess we’d want AMN as a cm first and like the versatility he has to play rb and rw.

Let’s get both

[jojomk1]

Just imagine a potential bench consisting of the likes of Bards, Erik, Stephens, Lennon, Barnsey. Exciting eh ?

Sean will look back at the bench and think

After my omelette tonight I'm going to catch up on an episode of Dad's Army

[claret2018]

Can’t blame Cornet if he’s holding out for a chance to live in Berlin, I know I’d much rather live there than Manchester

[jojomk1]

Don't panic Pike !!!

or

Don't panic Pace !!!

Whichever suits

Eh up perhaps the other 50 that have posted that are thinking along the same lines as you wake up!!

We may have looked at him as a midfielder or right winger. The position that he’s excelled in is right back / right wing back.

Probably two plus two equalling five, but interesting that we’ve been linked to two players who could fill both wing back positions.

[Taffy on the wing]

“Who do you think you are kidding Mr jojomk”.

Outrageous!

Very true, Stephens took 3 years

Makes you wonder how Liverpool and both Manchester clubs manage to sign world class players if Manchester is such a bad place to live

The extra 100k plus per week helps.

I would imagine a lot of background work is done on potential signings (not specifically Cornet) before we even speak to the clubs. I think it would be rare for two clubs to agree and the player not having shown keenness/willingness to make the move.

[ClaretTony]

And which of our current players live in Manchester? Any?

You’re clearly not familiar with the clause we put into every players contract - you must live in Burnley or Manchester.

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Brownhill lives in the city centre in a plush flat looking at his Instagram.

I know a load of the u23’s currently do too.

[ClaretInLeeds]

Isn’t the place for footballers to live Alderley Edge in Cheshire?

[Grumps]

Lennon

Anything written up yet Tony?

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Bannan will know Ross Wallace from Wednesday. Wallace coaches in the academy. United just signed Paul McShane to play as an over age player and to coach on the field during u23 games. Maybe Bannan is thinking of moving into coaching?

[Jakubclaret]

They’ll commute in from Alderley edge ect, I very much doubt the commuting will be taking place from Moss side ect.

[enduroclaret]

I don’t understand why Berlin is so highly rated on here. It’s bloody cold in winter….…most of its historic architecture was destroyed in 1945, I find it a bit bland and soulless.
I’d much sooner have lively Manchester and Cheshire is a brilliant place to live.

Any old excuse not to live in Berlin maybe his girlfriend is from there, anyone have the info on here? Probably

[BenWickes]

It took my breath away.

[claret2018]

It’s all personal preference obviously but I love Berlin and don’t like Manchester at all, it’s become a horrible place (again) in the last 5 years or so.

I’m surprised more young English talent doesn’t move to play in Europe like Sancho and Bellingham

[boatshed bill]

There's got to be a decent pun about the Berlin Wall(s) somewhere

[summitclaret]

I really, really, really hope this one has legs

I don't think even we would sign someone without legs, but we have come close in the not too distant past.
