Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Vegas Claret]

Me too, however I think Dwight is too 1 footed to play centrally, just show him to the right and he will always go back, however anyone stupid enough to shoe him the left will be quickly bypassed by him.

like it or loathe it Dwight needs to learn from Grealish in how to 'win' free-kicks, he's more than capable

[Woodleyclaret]

The same cheating divers as last year, Jack ,Wilf,Jamie V and Raheem will continue to cheat and con refs while the ref ignore the blatant play acting by the above.

[Firthy]

The way the panic button posters on here are reacting it could well be Andrew Driver

I think their panic is based on our previous windows. I'm not panicking yet but have to admit that I'm not hopeful based on previous windows and the lack of rumours.

I'll say it now but it will be the equivalent of criminal negligence if we don't bring some youth and pace, in particular right wing and modfield. With our one signing and outgoings we have spent very little so far so money shouldn't be the problem.

Where’s this money coming from ?

[leightonjameslegend]

Don't think the Transfer fee is the issue. We are still in for Cornet, if you believe Nixon. Lookman and AMN are still a possibility. It's wages that are holding us back. Our structure is lower wages with big survival bonuses, unfortunately, most players seem to be adverse to this.

[Juan Tanamera]

Tarks is going to run out his contract, be a free agent, get a nice signing on fee and a decent wage rise just like Jeff hendricks did - remember ??
If you think otherwise I suggest you start counting flying pigs

Read your post again, you said we would lose Tarks in June 2021.
Maybe you are the one counting flying pigs.

Wherever Pace has said that there are funds available to support SD in the transfer market.

"I think we can support him in the way he would like to be supported and we can look at that future together and say that future is a very long-lasting one.

"The proof is in the pudding and we will need to deliver on that but I'm very confident that when we put our heads together we will be fine."

Two weeks? There are still 25 days of the window left. Yes, it would be nice to have new faces in time for the Brighton game, but I doubt it would make that much difference if we have to wait until the end of August.

Patience is a virtue.

[superdimitri]

I can't say I've picked up on any panicking at all. Just discussion and concern. We generally seem a level headed bunch.

I’m so sorry Gordaleman, 25 days! There could be four years of the window left I doubt I’d feel particularly reassured by it.

In that link Pace explains the difficulties that we face in the market. He also talks about supporting Dyche, but doesn’t put too much emphasis on this being through new signings. By retaining the services of our key players he is also supporting Dyche.

I’m far from happy with the current strength of our squad, but what a lot of people don’t seem to factor in when they talk about the lack of squad strengthening over the past few years is that we’ve retained our best players which has diminished our need to strengthen.

The signings of Collins and Hennessy have shown that the board are looking to support Dyche. We need a couple more pieces to fall into place, no doubt, but the signs are that we are trying. The reality of the situation is that operating under our financial constraints this isn’t going to be as simple as a lot of fans expect - but then again a lot don’t live in the real world when it’s other people’s money being spent.

If we still haven't improved the squad by the end of August, we'll all be upset, but at least give us a chance.

Players have a lot of personal choice these days about where they go, and Cornet for example has said he'sd prefer to play in Germany. So no matter the fees and wages involved, Burnley can't be blamed if he does.

Good Post.
100% agree. The retention of McNeil, Pope and Tarkowski is far more important than the addition of any players that won't be in the starting 11.
If a couple of starters arrive this week or next I'd take that all day long.

Where has Cornet said that he would prefer to play in Germany?

I’m aware of a third party saying that they believe that this would be the players preference but that is not the same thing.

Nobody knows what Cornet wants to do - or whether we are close to signing or not even at the races anymore. Just need to take any bit of info we have with a pinch of salt until anything is announced

[superdimitri]

Berlin or Burnley.
Hmmm

[Spijed]

Berlin or Burnley.
Hmmm

How on earth do Man City, Man u. and Liverpool attract some of the best players when some European cities are considered more attractive places to live?

As with anything in the world of transfers, nothing is absolute, but whatever the source, there would be no point in saying it if there wasn't an element of truth in it.

My point remains the same. Players have plenty of choice these days, and if I was in Cornet's position, I think I would prefer Berlin to Burnley as well.

[superdimitri]

From strictly a location point if view:
Because those places compare a lot better to places like Berlin. Problem with us is players want to live far away so have to commute longer.

Looking outside the box these teams are also able to offer more 'competitive' wages than we can so any downside is less of a thought.

[superdimitri]

Also the prospect of our tactics and style of play. Not every player likes the idea of having to play in such a rigid system.

far away.

Explains the poor results I suppose in some games when they have had a 4 hour drive to the ground

It's still a lot further than living near Burnley and a lot more inconvenient than being able to live in a big city for a variety of reasons.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Hmmm

You mean Berlin or Manchester area?

Don’t think we have a single player living in Burnley. Mebbe Jayrod has a flat in Padiham??

Been a while since you have driven around the big cities in this country I take it ?

[Sleeping Cat]

Is that aimed at people on this message board or ALK? I can't tell.

Manchester and Liverpool is 30 minutes away from Burnley.... Cornet isn't gonna live up Stoops estate is he?

[Gordaleman]

I know nothing about Cornet other than what's been said in the media, but if he has a preference for Germany over England, it could be because he already speaks German but not English. It could be as simple as that. Who knows, but it's pretty much his choice. Time will tell.

James Pearce from Liverpool echo

Burnley, Brighton and Newcastle have all been in touch with Liverpool about Nat Phillips. No bids received yet.

Lancs Live is linking us with a move for Knight again.

[KRBFC]

Manchester and Liverpool is an absolute shitehole too

[Pearcey]

Surely the Premier League and wages would be the major pull rather than the location.

I would not have thought this would happen once Wooney nobbled him

Not if you have Burnley's very necessary wage structure.

[BobLordsPencil]

Probably like any major city in the world. Good and bad areas but overall City life is very attractive, especially on footballers wages

It’s an interesting one. I saw Knight play a few times at the start of last season and I thought he looked really really good. However second half he seemed to have a dip (admittedly so did the whole team).
I do think there’s a premier league quality player in there.

[BurnleyFC]

Manchester and Liverpool is an absolute shitehole too

I’d rather live on the moon than those two places.

[Guller Bull]

Morning everyone - Happy Friday.

Excited/nervous. Big international friendly tomorrow then a week till it all kicks off.

My gut feeling is that the frenzy is about to commence with transfers in general.

Americans do like a big "ticker tape Hurrah!" start to a new season so I am optimistic on incomings and contracts.

I was wondering when the 'it's a good window if we keep hold of our best players' posts were going to start.

[NewClaret]

His Instagram posts are all in English, but that may be his media team I suppose.

Still not believing this Cornet one. Seems so unlike Burnley/Dyche.

[nyclaret]

If Cornet doesn’t speak English, this transfer makes no sense.

Well at least it's a couple of rumours, why would we need Nat Phillips, unless we're planning on Tarks going.

On Knight he's due back around October time, so although not ideal, he'd at least provide us with a viable option on the right, and he should be reasonably cheap given Derby's well documented problems.

[Gordaleman]

Well, you're one up on me there. I don't use social media other than for this forum and personal messaging.

Wheels within wheels. If so and so does this, then we do that, ad infinitum until the 31st.

[KRBFC]

Knight is a central midfielder, do we just guess player positions now or confuse central players with wide players due to Dyche using Brownhill and Hendrick there previously?

[Gordaleman]

Looks like Hertha Berlin are firm favourites for Cornet's signature. The fee just needs tweaking up a bit.

I'm stunned.

[ClaretAL]

I think if Leeds sign Matheus Cunha from Hertha for £25M then its all over and Cornet will go to them.
