I’d be disappointed if I’d got my hopes up. It’s been fun watching the excitement though.

I've heard we've made a bid for half a gnome, unfortunately Towneley garden centre turned us down.

Well, I for one am so disappointed.
I was so much looking forward to our new talisman megging Maguire at Old Trafford, winning more fouls than Grealish, out pacing Vardy in a defensive sprint but most of all laying on a host of delicious through passes for Wood and Vydra.
All our dreams shattered, but good whilst it lasted

Less language issues, probably easier to integrate, better weather and maybe even less visa issues.
Good luck to him

I think the first Burnley FC would’ve heard about this was from here. Funny what a blue tick on twatter can create.
Publicity stunt from their side I’d imagine, just to leverage a better / quicker deal or something. Was never going to happen, not our type of signing.

My money is on someone at the club overstepping their level of responsibility on the recruitment side or someone in the board room getting carried away. Dyche finds out that we’re about to sign a second rate footballer and goes mental.

Strange couple of days. At least it added a bit more excitement to an otherwise (so far at least) tedious transfer window.

Probably just an agent in the final stages of negotiations using us to close it out. Again.

Perhaps Estoril will immediately send him out on a season's loan to us?
Exciting times!

HITC is a clickbait site

So are most sites quoted on here, but this link quotes Atletico Clube Goianiense president Adson Batista and sounds more convincing than most. However he isn't very specific about where Gomes might go and says that three clubs are interested.

You are correct that a lot of transfer rumour sites are complete BS but that defo includes HITC

Can’t wait for him to turn Walker inside out before bending in the opener from 25 yards in a 5-1 defeat at the Etihad.

Arthur Gomes is an anagram of My Arse Hurts... Or very nearly. Could be some kind of oblique reference to sitting on the bench too long?
What do people think?

That happened at Rovers when Venkys first took over.
Player was about £500k but agents fees were higher than that

And I was hoping the club photographer was going to capture Ben Mee’s stare across at him in the changing room on Day 1….. and Tark’s grin at Mee doing it
