January Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[randomclaret2]

That number is about as stupid and irrelevant as it gets. Using similar logic we have signed 2 players this window.

Thanks for your respectful remarks

[Granny WeatherWax]

Would it? What do you expect to pay for a starting right back in the summer when Bardsley has gone and teams know we need a right back?

If we were going to pay £10m id expect it to be for someone with a lot more playing experience than JJK.

[kentonclaret]

Let's hope quality young right backs with plenty of playing experience are available this summer for £10m.

Remind me, how much was Brownhill?

[Gordaleman]

Double that and we can have Tripps back. Yes, he's getting on a bit, but what a player.

[kentonclaret]

When was Brownhill utilised as a right back?

Matty Cash £16 million

[LaLigaClaret]

Late drama at the Turf on Deadline Day. I have just seen a statement issued by the personal press officer of AP, Heather Binad. In it she says that the club are pursuing several lines of enquiries and intend to make serious late bids on the following.

Finnish right winger Heese Eledantakkenin.
Uruguay right back Nota Hope
South Korean midfielder Sum Wat Mai Dup
Southern Irelend midfielder from the US Con Ned O'Really
Canadian CB Ewell Ben Adover
and Finally former Manchester United star Wlly Eckerslike

What a great window its going to be, broken promises and little action. Hope no-one is going to spout the usual well we did renew 4 contracts which will be like 4 new signings. I reckon I've been more active than the recruitment team at Tumbleweed city Burnley.

[Conroy92]

When you say playing experience, do you want premier league starts?! He has played at the top level in Germany?

So, a starting premier league right back, at a good age, cheaper than 10m...

[kentonclaret]

Given the American links more likely to be Bob Hope

[jojomk1]

See the young winger from Rochdale has gone to City today

[Conroy92]

Remind me, how much was Brownhill?

Around 9m? The same as Kenny! Kenny who's younger than Brownhill when he came in? Kenny who's played at a higher level than Brownhill before he came in? Do you get it?

[NewClaret]

Not sure if he has gone but bud rejected apparently. Think it would be a big mistake to go straight to City from Rochdale.

[LaLigaClaret]

So then its all come down to probably losing Tarks in the summer for less than he was worth last summer and where we will need to buy a replacement where we will be stitched up by paying over the odds or go without. We missed out with Davies, failed with Collins with an insulting bid, missed out on Worrall, missed opportunities with Dawson, missed an opportunity with Tomori when we were linked last summer with Chelsea expecting £15m at the time and overlooked the African player whose name escapes me at the moment but who we were linked with.

We couldn't even sort out the Kenny situation and instead lost out to a Scottish pub team who play regularly against other Scottish pub team reserves in a joke league who would struggle in our National Conference League. Its a shambles and pathetic.

He's out of contract in the summer. Joining City then.

Bang on regarding Tarky and being held to ransom in tbe summer. Very poor indeed

[NewClaret]

Ah, didn’t know that. Still a mistake to jump straight to that level with that midfield, in my opinion. I’d say a Championship club, low Premiership club should’ve been his next step.

[LaLigaClaret]

Lets not forget though we fought off loads of interest from Real, Madrid, Barcelona and PSG for the worlds greatest CB Kevin Long who we have for another 2 years thanks to his new deal. Let joy be unconfined.

[Jakubs Tash]

I have no issue with Tarkowski's value decreasing if it means we stay in the Premier League - it's worth more than an extra £10m. Even if he goes for nothing in 18 months.

[claretgoss]

Yeah, I'd imagine he'll either link with their Under-23s or go out on loan. Who knows though, some players deal with the step up better than others

"IF" being the operative word.

IF is a pretty key word in relation to the majority of posts on this speculative thread...

[SGr]

In summer we will need a winger, a right back, probably a centre half. We might want to add a striker to that but we’ll see.

Will we do those things?

[LaLigaClaret]

Will we do those things?

We certainly need to. However we will also be stuck with the even older aging squad less Tarks, still numbers short and still have Pieters, Stephens, Long, JBG and Brady. Oh dear.

[TopCat]

There will be options in the Summer that will be more realistic than January prices.
How much did Bogle go for?

[quoonbeatz]

Great to see the pandemic hasn't put paid to the bi-annual cryfest of la liga claret.

[LaLigaClaret]

I believe Bogle was £10m at the time and signed until 2024. I don't think the options in summer will be at more realistic prices at least not for us as most of any potential targets we would be desperate for and clubs will know we have money from the Tarks sale. We have truly made a real mess of things.

[jojomk1]

Low Premiership club ?

You mean like us ?

Maybe we could loan him next summer

[NewClaret]

Can’t see him displacing Dwight, so not us!

But we managed to persuade Kevin Long to sign a new 2 year deal

That's got to be like a new signing - and on a "free"

[LaLigaClaret]

I only post when I have something to say if that upsets you then I apologise. Of course it always seems the case that other posters make a sarcastic remark but never have any ideas or suggestions themselves about any issues being debated. The only mantra they stick to is sarcasm, happy clapping or total apathy.

[Vegas Claret]

given the yearly "the January window is so hard to sign anyone" we hear from pretty much every manager maybe we should just scrap the window

[jojomk1]

Can’t see him displacing Dwight, so not us!

But he could replace Brady

We always play left peggers on the right - it's the future

[jedi_master]

I just wish these arbitrary windows were sacked off.

I far preferred it when you could sign somebody whenever (bar a couple of months I think it was). I miss the days of walking past a newsagent and seeing the A-Board outside for the Lancashire Evening Telegraph saying “Clarets Swoop for Grimsby Ace”.

[LaLigaClaret]

And you think that is a positive do you ? I suppose we could get rid of him in the summer for a small fee but it will cost us a lot more to replace him though so we might be stuck with a player who is by the consensus of posters not good enough and heaven help us with no Tarks and an injury to Mee he might be out number 1 CH. Still think that's a positive do you ?

[LaLigaClaret]

Merson on Sky just said on those who have had a bad window.

I'd say all the teams down the bottom of the table. This might be me, but last weekend's results has changed a lot of people's attitudes. With Fulham drawing with West Brom, Newcastle and Brighton both getting phenomenal results, Burnley recently having two great results, the gap has got quite big to the bottom three.

"I still think Fulham have the potential to win a couple of games, so I feel those other clubs just above the drop zone still need to do some business. But it's the owners who have started to wonder if it's worth doing any more business, and that worries me."

Don't usually agree with Merson but he is right on this one.

[brunlea99]

Interesting load by Derby today:

Manchester United defender Teden Mengi has joined Derby on loan for the remainder of the season.
Rams boss Wayne Rooney has been unable to make new signings due to the protracted nature of an impending takeover.
The 18-year-old made his senior debut as a substitute in United’s Europa League last-16 tie with Austrian club LASK in August.

[Burnley Ace]

In fairness David Collins in Champ Man was sensational!
Brad Maylett was sometimes very useful as well.

LOL Brad Maylett was always in my team!! Was it CM 2000?

Doesn't bother me in the slightest pal, I find it amusing.

I am sure Brad Maylett was d/m/a R

David Collins best AMC ever closely followed by the mysterious Ben Woods.

Backed up by the dubious £37m purchase of Lee Roche by Tranmere.

[Pearcey]

Lukas Jensen to Bolton on loan confirmed. Good move.

[randomclaret2]

From 10 years ahead, to loaning our 4th choice keeper...

[Jimscho]

Just seen a quote from a certain Mr Scholes on the BBC transfer page.

Pretty much my thoughts too.

[jedi_master]

I think that about sums it up Tony.

I remain optimistic that we’re currently on a conference call with Stoke City to sign Collins. We’ve bid twice in the last few days (that we know of). I cannot believe we wouldn’t be there again on Deadline Day. Stoke have not once categorically said not for sale, so you’d think a deal could be done...

[kentonclaret]

Just below that news of Fulham potentially boosting their firepower?

[Gordaleman]

Just watched Alan Pace's latest interview again. He seemed determined to bring someone in, so let's hope that determination bears fruit.

[Woodleyclaret]

Just pay Stoke the asking for their CB and its a done deal why the mystery?

[fidelcastro]

What's all this rubbish about no one coming in?

We were told by the most "in the know" poster on here that Phil Jones was a certainty to be signing for us!
