Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[Quicknick]

Didn't realise he was fast, that takes some doing with tiny tiny legs , if he's got pace then your right he'd fit in with this set up

His legs aren't tiny. His neck is virtually non-existent. Add two inches there and he's 5'9''. Not so short.

[eastcoastclaret]

Must be Kouyate from Metz then. Surely they need to sell their prime asset after relegation and we’re just playing hard ball.

The post above suggests it not him

[RVclaret]

Callum Robinson going to Cardiff.

[Longsider]

Nope. Will need a flight tracker for this one, if my info is correct…

(That’s all I’m saying)

I'm on it.

Busy Thursday …

[Pearcey]

I don’t think anything will happen. Boden has said he’s already stood down.

[Burnley Ace]

I don't think Taylor suits our style or system.
It's not the defending out of position, but he looks so slow, and his passing is really poor compared to those around him.

I always rated him in the Prem, one of the first names on the sheet, but he's had a poor start to the season. If we could get a replacement I'd cash in, but do we have any interest.

Against Millwall he had the highest % pass success 91%.

I like CT, but the vast majority of the passes were sideways to TBH. Which is good because he's the best passer in team by a long way.

[boatshed bill]

Not sure about that. Think it's easy to underestimate Long. He reads the game fairly well and is a technically good defender (he worked with Dyche for nearly 10 years) and is a good athlete - good in the air (which we need - THB is a bit vulnerable in the air and the common theme with almost all the top end teams in the league is that they'll be more physical than us) and deceptively quick - certainly at this level, he'd be perfectly comfortable with the high line that we play. Perhaps he's not as good as Kompany would like with ball at feet (I always thought that when he deputised for Tarkowski, we missed Tarks more in possession than defensively), but again our perception of him is slightly skewed by the fact virtually all his football for us has been at Premier League level where that is magnified. It might be that compromising slightly on the ability of one player of the team to play that way optimises the effectiveness of the team as a whole.

In an ideal world we'd bring in a centre back and Long would probably go to make way. I still think a centre half is our biggest single priority today. But it might be that Long's injury has actually scuppered that - we can't move him out. If he's in the squad, I'd be seriously contemplating him as a better option alongside THB than Taylor.

Very well put, Spice, though I totally disagree with you.
Do you write references for a living?

[Burnley Ace]

I like CT, but the vast majority of the passes were sideways to TBH. Which is good because he's the best passer in team by a long way.

So he is doing what he is meant to do, getting the ball to either TBH or left wing back?

[Oldparkwood]

Jesus it’s transfer deadline day surely we can keep
It on topic today of all days

[AGENT_CLARET]

Andre Gray 5' 8", Sterling 5' 6", Hazard 5' 7", Messi 5' 6", what's your point?

Point is unlike all the other players you named the rest of their team's aren't full if 5ft nothing players like ours

[bumba]

Interesting one. Firstly that depends if there is a buyer for him and secondly will a player of his experience / quality be happy being benched in the Championship.

No players apart from Kevin Long are happy to sit on a bench every week, Taylor wouldn't be happy but we can't pick him on that basis. He isn't a top centre back at this level regardless of how good he's been for us.
Unfortunately if we can bring a centre back in Taylor drops out

[ArmchairDetective]

Nope. Will need a flight tracker for this one, if my info is correct…

(That’s all I’m saying)

Have the media confused Akanji signing for the Premier League Man City with Vincent's City of the Championship??

[scouseclaret]

Long survived as a back-up CH in the Premier League for 6 years and rarely disgraced himself. He’d be well capable at this level and that may be the reason Kompany seems pretty relaxed about whether or not he brings in another CH.

[AGENT_CLARET]

What do you reckon will happen today, I think we could end this window with 2 in and 1 out

[Jambounchained]

Who's this German centre back we've been linked with?

[dibraidio]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Adam Phillips go permanently and Bobby Thomas go out on loan.

We're surely OK at Centre half with Long and McNally and potentially Bobby Thomas as cover (if he goes out and can be recalled).
We're so used to playing two strikers that just having Jay and Barnes sounds risky but there are a number of players who could step in if required.

Bastien, Benson, Tella, Twine, Zaroury, Churlinov how many players have we be told can play anywhere across the front line?

[ŽižkovClaret]

Who's this German centre back we've been linked with?

Kiki Tausfromderbach?

[mdd2]

Adam Phillips may be off to Michael Duff's Barnsley which will be a good move for all concerned as it frees up a slot for the 25 as if he stays we are already up to 25 unless we dont name Norris or Long

[ElectroClaret]

Surely Boden wouldn't have "stood down" as someone mentioned above, if there was a chance of more incomings?

[Bowclaret]

Ukrainian lad Mybol Zeritchin ?

[ŽižkovClaret]

Surely Boden wouldn't have "stood down" as someone mentioned above, if there was a chance of more incomings?

He's stood down as he left the Burnley Express

[Beckm0]

Boden's left the Burnley Express, it's a joke

[Goody1975]

Ha Ha Ha

[Lisbonclaret]

You're the agent, you tell us

[jojomk1]

Hope someone has completed a Pat Test and checked the ink levels in the fax machine

[ElectroClaret]

He's stood down as he left the Burnley Express

Ah. Didn't know that.

[Claret Alfie]

Who's this German centre back we've been linked with?

Jordan Beyer from Mönchengladbach according to Twitter

[Zlatan]

Kiki Tausfromderbach?

someone needs to do a spoof of that on Twitter to see if any of the pro journalists pick up on it

[ScottishClaret712]

Who's this German centre back we've been linked with?

No idea. Hope it’s Hertha’s Marton Dardai.

[RVclaret]

Personally can’t understand signing another young centre half on loan.

[Lancasterclaret]

Jordan Bayer - 1 year loan

https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1 ... 4413640706

[Duffer_]

Jordan Beyer from Mönchengladbach according to Twitter

Just looked him up on wiki and the first thing I checked was his height (how times have changed). Listed as a right back but looks to have a decent pedigree.

[agreenwood]

He’s a centre half according to Transfermarkt. I’ll take their word over wiki.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Bringing Beyer in may allow us to loan out a couple of ours rather than just one. Or potentially let one leave on permanent , possibly Lowton or Long? Loan out Thomas and Dodgson?

Add to that, we may sight this lad out to be a permanent in the future, who knows

[RVclaret]

Personally can’t understand signing another young centre half on loan.

To add - unless it allows us to spend on Obafemi.

But the previous poster suggested it was the German cb and Brentford striker (loan) only.

RB or CB, this news is coming from a German sky sports reporter with 97k followers, looks good.

Played a decent number of games in the Bundesliga last season. He’s not that green.

[Lancasterclaret]

More confirmation

Bit annoyed that its another loan, but I guess this is the way we are going to do it

[eastcoastclaret]

U21 International and played 33 games in Bundesliga

[RVclaret]

Yeah I’m sure he’s a decent player, fully trust Kompany in that sense.

But with Dervisoglu too being a loan, that would make it 5 in total, including 3 out of the back 4 (if Maatsen started).

Plus you’re dropping Taylor (experienced) for a loanee, hmm.

[Paul Waine]

Kiki Tausfromderbach?

I heard Haltdem Dasnetballingutsehr.

[ClaretTony]

Definitely more than speculation in the Beyer news

We’ve purchased 10-11 players this summer for a transfer fee. We were always going to loan a few to thicken the squad out.
Given that the quality of loans we have already , I think we’ve done rather well.

I rather suspect this is our last resort having failed to agree a price for the Metz lad. I’d rather this than nothing at all.

What about Dervisoglu and Obafemi?

Looks that way
