A possibility of three or four according to the Honey Monster.

I like what I have seen when Tarks has had to play midfield. Skillful and imposing

jurek · Post by **jurek** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 2:37 pm

Be interesting to know who those 3 or 4 players are but understand why Dyche
is keeping his cards close to his chest.
Whoever they may be hope we manage to get one or two in and more
importantly hope they're of the calibre that will improve the first team.

What we need is Dyche to sign 3 world class players that are household names, then announce that we missed out on the ones we really wanted.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 2:41 pm

At this time of the season we need players who can come straight in and do the job. Or we get an experienced midfield loan signing till end of season.

Transfer window bingo.... here's my guesses

Brady
Snodgrass
Young
Robertson

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:05 pm

Routledge , Ince ,Ulloa and Roberts are the four targets, you heard it here first.

Holtyclaret · Post by **Holtyclaret** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:13 pm

Brady, Snodgrass, Roberts and loan (Ulloa/Young). Its all guesswork but we will know before long!

The same Routledge who signed a new contract today?

I hear zack clough could be on that list

LawsCanalJump · Post by **LawsCanalJump** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:16 pm

3-4 targets will become we missed out on the 3 but got the 1 in

LawsCanalJump · Post by **LawsCanalJump** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:17 pm

Gradel
Brady
Robertson

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:17 pm

Exactly

The very same, it's all smoke and mirrors.

A chance with 3 or 4. Let's hope the chance isn't "No f-ckin".

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:30 pm

If one of those is Snodgrass then I think we can already say it's two or three as opposed to three or four.

I also hear ince is a target

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:11 pm

Its going to be very tight to get 1 in never mind the 3-4 we desperately need, we should have moved the Leicester game to give us extra time.

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:13 pm

Fear not but it won't be Snodgrass!

Which begs the question why have we wasted our time chasing a player who doesn't want to come and who's wages we can't afford.

jlup1980 · Post by **jlup1980** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:42 pm

Snodders
Brades
Westside
Cloughy

That'll be the four I reckon. Failing those I'll go for OGS, Riordan, Driver and Shotton.

SkiptonClaret · Post by **SkiptonClaret** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:44 pm

Can see Tom Ince fitting the framework.

I think that's Paul Ince when or if we ever lose Sean Dyche.

ablueclaret · Post by **ablueclaret** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 4:55 pm

Ince and Clough heard it on the grapevine here in sunny Wiltshire, if its got down this far it must be true. Arfield and Kightly leaving.

We just haven't the arrows to reach them, where are the Lancashire longbow men when you need them?

We can't plan for who other clubs do.
Preferring one club to another is different to not wanting to go somewhere in the first place. The same with wages, seems we could afford him but Hammers offered more.
If no one else wanted him this window I'm pretty sure he'd be signing for Burnley.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 5:09 pm

Too many people mentioning Ince, he's ******* **** !

I have it from a reliable source that Dyche would like to sign
Messi
Neymar
Suarez
Lewandowski

Would leave us a but light in midfield, manager is clueless

CnBtruntru · Post by **CnBtruntru** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 5:14 pm

We usually struggle to get one over the line on the January deadline God help us with four and a game against Leicester.

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 5:22 pm

Im pretty sure he doesnt mean signing all 3 or 4 i think he means which ever comes available first out of them unless im mistaken ?

3putt · Post by **3putt** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 5:22 pm

Ings
Trippier
Juke
Jones

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 6:06 pm

Brady looks nailed on, if he moves clubs.

The rest....anyone's guess is as good as the next. Tomorrow being another day!

Messi - too old!
Neymar - too lightweight!
Suarez - too mouthy!
Lewandowski - Who are these two?

As for Ince isn't he scared of spiders!

Bored with all this transfer news now, knackered my brain hurts.

Brady
robertson
Westwood
Robbie keane

LaLigaClaret · Post by **LaLigaClaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:06 am

With Marney out for the season and Bamford's loan ended we needed to replace them as a minimum but we really needed a winger and a creative midfielder as well. Hopefully Brady will fill one one place. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't swoop at the last minute for a striker and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Jordan Rhodes being subject to a punt from us. Perhaps Gradel as a loan or Grosicki if nothing else materialises. I know everyone was fed up with the Lansbury saga but with Marney out at £3m he would have been a snip and now looks like a lost opportunity,

United deciding to keep Ashley Young.

Sky - "Manchester United have reportedly decided to keep Ashley Young this month.
The 31-year-old had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford due to a lack of regular playing time.
But the Manchester Evening News say Jose Mourinho has "no intention" of letting Young leave after Memphis Depay's move to Lyon."

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 11:27 am

He had already said Young was never available for a loan move on a sale if he was to leave, didn't stop post after post about get him on loan, maybe this will.

CrispyClaret · Post by **CrispyClaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 2:19 pm

Tom Ince brings too much baggage in the shape of his ever smiling dad.

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 2:22 pm

Tom Ince is also an incredibly average footballer

Steve-Harpers-perm · Post by **Steve-Harpers-perm** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 2:23 pm

Always think on his day Ince is a good winger and scores a few goals.

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 2:36 pm

Can't even get Brady over the line, Alex Neil just confirmed he is in the squad for Norwich tomorrow.

Alex Neil is just one big pain in the arse.

Targets are exactly that. TARGETS!

It's like saying I've got my eye on knobbing 3 or 4 girls I know. Doesn't mean that it's going to happen.

What I have learnt in my many years of supporting the Clarets is to expect the unexpected.

Dyche said 3 or 4 targets that are progressing (or words to that effect). I`m guessing he has discussed a lot more players than that in the last few months.

So to carry on with your crude analogy you would need to have had "t*ts over the jumper" !!!

Marlonspants · Post by **Marlonspants** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 3:28 pm

So one has said no (Snodgrass). Which leaves 3. If Brady was one of those 3 then tits over the jumper is as far as it went before she realised she could do better.

That leaves us about 3 days to get laid from a possible 1 or maybe 2 girls. I think come Weds we might have to settle for throwing one over the knuckles. It will be that way until the summer is my guess.

TVC15 · Post by **TVC15** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 3:30 pm

Yep but its the weekend and Saturday night is party night.

Stop fretting - Dyche has it all in hand (so to speak !!)

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 3:36 pm

So which one is the "its five to two, time to stop being picky, that one over there at least has two arms and two legs, she'll do" player then?

Sordell?

With those Marty Feldman eyes yep Sordell !!

Hopefully we`ll catch a couple of beauties before then - in the style of Debbie McGee / Mrs Merton interview

"So Robbie what attracted you to the multi million pound salary package offered in the dark satanic corner of East Lancashire ?"
