[whiffa]

Welcome to Burnley!

[BurnleyFC]

On paper, a very exciting signing.

[ksrclaret]

I don't know anything about him, but he looks an athlete from the YouTube clips which seems to be a good trend so far in our new players.

[BigGaz]

We have to give praise to those working upstairs.

We're getting big business done early, and Parker is 100% being backed.

Long way to go yet but we need a statement signing, the biggest of all to replace Brownhill, and a striker. If we carry on like we've started then I've got no worries we'll get what we need.

[Fez]

The video and song is absolutely fantastic!

Clever stuff !

[ollieclarets8]

Only seen bits of him on Youtube but as I've mentioned before, what I loved about him was his vision and very quick passing. He looks to be someone who will certainly get the ball moving which could be very useful with any counterattacking.

[HurstGrangeClaret]

Don’t know anything about this lad. Can anyone enlighten me?
Also can’t get that video link to work.

[ŽižkovClaret]

The new Odobert!

Has it been taken down? Link doesn't work.

[blatherwickstattoos]

The video is incredible (I’m a huge Beastie boys fan) by far the best one yet love it !!!!

[gandhisflipflop]

I don’t know anything about him only seen the YouTube links but I’d much rather we go down this route than old washed out players. He looks big, strong and perfect for a counter attacking side which i thought we would have been 2 seasons ago! I wonder if he can play up too too? Anyway, welcome to Burnley! Well done to the recruitment team too. The Dale Stephens window seems a distant memory thank god.

This is the best start to a window yet for me. Pure efficiency is the words I’d use to describe it. Glaring gaps in the squad being addressed instead of stockpiling players in positions.

Yeah great early work done!

Brownhill replacement, striker and a keeper then we have a squad.

Around 60m spent so far with hopefully at least 30m to come from selling Trafford, if we can generate another 10-15m with some deadwood then financially it’s nothing like the last time in the prem with over 100m spent with no sales

This latest deal is a loan with an obligation so we wouldn’t factor the payment into this budget would we? Either way I’d agree with you but if I’m being greedy, I’d like a centre back too.

Not a loan....signed a 5yr deal

Anthony 9m
Edwards 8m
Humphreys 10m
Tchaouna 12m
Hartman 7.5m
Weiß 3.5m

Around £50m I make it (Flemming was last seasons deal, he was always joining permanently). Agree with the wider point though. If we make 40m in sales then you’d think that entire amount could be reinvested (seems we have already been looking at spending 17m on Diouf).

[gandhisflipflop]

Ah ok thought I’d read a loan somewhere with obligation.

If we can get that striker from Belgium, Diouf , a centre back, a gk and a quality loan we will be cooking

Also from the glass half empty side that if we don’t spend all the tv money this season and do go down we might not be in a position to have to sell big players again

I'd call that glass half full.

I think that's the plan with buying young talent, you very rarely lose out financially and can shift them if you need to

[quoonbeatz]

Tchaouna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.

Chantsmiths, do your work.

It isn’t a loan, he’s signed a five year deal as per the article linked at the top of the thread.

Humphreys was always signing too but Flemming had to be added.

[warksclaret]

Do we know is Tchaouna is more naturally an attacking wide man, or a striker. Be interesting to know with our recruitment "jigsaw" starting to take shape. It may influence if Amdouini stays or is sold as we already have a NO 10 in Flemming and the now fit again Ramsey, and of course Brownhill has yet to officially depart

He’s a wide player isn’t he?

[chekhov]

Anyone got an inkling as to what position he plays?

[dsr]

He’s a wide player isn’t he?

With a record of 15 goals in 110 matches, I hope he's been played more as a wide player than a centre forward!

[Dazzler]

Anyone got an inkling as to what position he plays?

More importantly, has anyone got an inkling on how to pronounce his name?

I asked a Lazio fan what we could expect. This is what he said:

Tchaouna showed some flashes of quality at some parts of the season but he was still inconsistent with his performances, hence he wasn’t really a starter here. He’s versatile that he can play either as a winger or as a 9 where Baroni had thrown him into that role for some games. Could be an exciting talent but he’s still raw, could be a long-term project with him. He’s already had many appearances for his age at only 20, a lot of other fans will say he’s terrible but I think he needed a change of scenery and the pressure here in Rome is more intense for his age, a change of scenery was needed

[Bow]

Not convinced another young winger from Europe is what we need but happy to be proved wrong!

[ollieclarets8]

With a record of 15 goals in 110 matches, I hope he's been played more as a wide player than a centre forward!

Not sure on the source accuracy but it showed him starting every game for Lazio from the bench and coming on as a sub.

[Stanbill05]

Anyone got an inkling as to what position he plays?

Not just me then scrolling away. Thought I'd missed something obvious

[ollieclarets8]

Anyone got an inkling as to what position he plays?

Looked to me to be more central on the clips I saw but other sources say basically anywhere attacking. Attacking central midfield / 10 / wide midfield / forward.

[HahaYeah]

If we can get him showing the skills on the youtube vid consistently he will be a great signing.

Seems to be very similar in style to Max Cornet

Are you getting confused with his first name being Loum?

[wilks_bfc]

Surely we can get a decent song for him out of this

Nope, that sounds like one of our strikers.

[fidelcastro]

Takes the size of the squad to 41, if I've counted correctly.

It will work its way down in numbers
