New striker incoming

Haha... Burnley fans believing it could be Welbeck. Top fishing.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Thu Aug 10, 2017 12:58 pm

Welbeck?

Someone said Neymar as a joke before (well, I assumed it was one but you never really know) but this at least 2/3rds of the way there.

I'd love him here, just like I would Messi, but its not very likely is it?

Danny Welbeck is from Manchester, Manchester is near Burnley. Looks like this could be a goer.

Down the pecking order at Arsenal. Feels he needs game time to have hopes of being in the England squad come next summer, Wants to move back north.

Just what I've heard.

F*** Off!! (said in that incredulous kind of voice)

That would be exciting. He's a quality player who with regular games could be a 15-20 goal striker. Personally I'm not sure why Arsenal don't actually play him more (although he's been injured) given they're in need of proper goalscorers (same with Giroud who has a great return on minutes played). It's like Arsene wants to "just come close" at times!!

Very exciting prospect there though I don;t really believe that (wages- too big).

My lad heard yesterday we're supposed to be vying with the Toon for Ings for 7.5m

He's just driven through Crawshawbooth someone filmed it on their dashcam.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Thu Aug 10, 2017 1:11 pm

This thread has the potential to name every striker whose ever played.

I'm waiting for the "Mongolian Neymar" to be suggested

And at least one poster will claim "he's just what we need"

Bony - yes
Wellbeck - no
Llorente - yes
Success - yes (as a left or right winger)
Long - no
Promising young player with 100 yds < 10 secs - yes

Yes that's him, assisted their first goal too, a cross for Deeney.

After the past week or so of absolute misery on here and bickering - just thought I'd throw a thread in that'd actually get people talking about football and get a little excited (used my use of usual inside info to add credibility).

Actually had no info through about this but glad it actually got people talking about football again properly instead of just trying to rip into each other.

Shane's shirt would have to say S.Long

and that's far too close to having schlong on the shirt

You do come up with some Long tales Beehole! Schlong I'll get my coat.

Can't say who it is yet but we could be in for a very nice treat if this is genuine info (it usually is spot on info).

More likely to be done before WBA though than Chelsea but it's a possibility of trying to push it through early.

So this was all made up?

Not as rapid as he used to be back in his Dortmund days. Didn't think he had a brilliant season at Wolfsburg either

Edit: Turns out he got 0 goals and 3 assists in 28 games last year. What a downfall in the past 4 years

Either 1) You have had a player mentioned to you and received a rebuke for posting on here from your 'source'.
Or 2) You are some kind of narcissist who enjoys making your fellow Clarets who are craving for news suffer

The one thing I have noticed about this board is how hard it is to build up credibility. But when you do, you can be quite respected for it.

You have just lost any credibility for ever. You will not be trusted again. Still, it seemed to amuse you and Saxo.

he is 46 must have retired by now

He also said that he keeps our transfer dealings as quiet as possible and doesn't leak.

So if he says stuff about transfers it means very little until he says "we've signed xyz"

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:25 pm

To be fair, the guy gave no information worth discussing anyway. It was the vaguest description of a new signing you could really get.

I think the fact we all know is - we are trying to sign a new main eleven striker. Until a name drops from a reliable source such as Sky, The Mirror etc I will treat everything as speculation.

I'd say if he says they're finding it tough, they must be finding it tough. Not much point saying it otherwise.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:30 pm

He said the same thing last year.

He didn't even confirm that Defour had signed, even though Anderlecht has tweeted that he had.

You can read too much into these things, though I agree as the transfer fees skyrocket, we are going to find it tougher and tougher

ClaretEngineer · Post by **ClaretEngineer** » Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:31 pm

I think we're all going to be disappointed come the end of the transfer window. We'll probably end up with a Juke or Sordell type :crying face:

I'm saying this in the hope that I am proved wrong.
