Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[lrac]

4 days to go. Patience is the key .

[RVclaret]

Seen as though we never sign anyone at weekends it’s looking likely it will be Monday / Tuesday, last minute.

[BenWickes]

As mentioned before. If PSG go shopping at Everton, they’ll be cash rich and looking for a replacement.

Dwight there, players in return.

Money talks but Everton linked with Porto's winger Luiz Diaz today and he'd probably be cheaper than McNeil. They're after James Rodriguez in return (possible loan) as well so considerably cheaper than what we'd sell McNeil for.

Don’t forget Monday is a bank holiday

Deeney set to leave Watford. Welcome to Burnley Troy

Vyds out, Deeney in?

[scouseclaret]

Seems Ross Barklay has been frozen out at Chelsea. Now there’s a player who would improve us...

[lrac]

Wages ?

Started less than half the games last season at Villa

Think there’s a player in there but don’t think in a 4. Would have to play a 5 in midfield I’d say

[Woodleyclaret]

Barklay is another 10 min trier
Tends to hold back saving himself for the next game.

SD saying there are a couple of "maybes"

For SD, that is positively euphoric

Only ever good for half a season

[TheFamilyCat]

Only ever good for half a season

Take him on loan until Christmas then

[Lancasterclaret]

Interesting tweet from Nixon btw

He's been asked about who are second target is, and he says

"See if it keeps till Sunday"

Suggests to me that it will be done before then

[clarethomer]

Knowing our luck with loans, it will be the wrong half we get

or he has it in his pocket for an 'Exclusive' article for his paper?

Normally when he says that it means hopefully nobody else breaks it then he can have it as an exclusive in his column

Far more realistic!

This lad could end up a updated version of Jack Rodwell

That’s Dyche-speak for 2 signings announced in the next hour

[kazza]

Yes, SD saying a 'maybe' can almost be taken as an 'it's happening'.

[box_of_frogs]

That’s Dyche-speak for 2 signings announced in the next hour

We can't even get 1 signing done, and you think we'll have 2 in the next hour!!!

[RVclaret]

Hopefully Cornet + one of Christie / AMN / Lookman.

[kazza]

Gut feeling, is the Cornet one is one of the maybes, but won't happen. Which will leave us with 1 signing before the deadline.

[MACCA]

Hopefully Cornet + one of Christie / AMN / Lookman.

I got told it was Christie or Lennon, I'm hoping Lennon signing means we have saved a few quid in fee and wages, and that'll be put to get a bigger deal over the line

AMN maybe ?

Would be very strange at this stage for a completely new name to enter the frame, especially without no one else getting a whiff of it.

[CrosspoolClarets]

AMN has said he prefers to play in midfield, Cornet has said he wants to play on the wing - to have any chance of signing either I suspect we would have to commit to those positions, i.e. neither in defence.

Players of that calibre are likely to hang around until the deadline to see who else sniffs around. Big risk of getting neither, but also realistically there is less money sloshing around after the pandemic so they may have no other bidders. It could be a unique opportunity for Burnley.

AMN on loan with an agreed buy fee for next summer would make sense if Arsenal can’t find a buyer this summer.

True but Ronaldo only announced he wanted to leave today...

[Iloveyoubrady]

God. I don’t think it will happen but if we get cornet and that with a buy option it would be unbelievable.

[warksclaret]

If we do get Cornet then I think any other player would not be a winger as with Ramsey we would have 4. It hopefully would be in CM as we only have 3 serious players there in Westwood, Cork and Brownhill (and as of yet Stephens has been largely injured, and still unknown re his qualities). I think the tail end of last season we saw that legs in that area were getting tired and we got over run by sides like Leeds and Southampton

[warksclaret]

God. I don’t think it will happen but if we get cornet and that with a buy option it would be unbelievable.

If the player was worried about relegation and a drop in wages it could be a loan, and an option to buy if we stay up. Would suit both parties.

Done deal

I don’t read the translated version as ‘done deal’ but certainly seems to be getting closer…

[Grumps]

French lessons at Mansfield High in the 70s didn't leave me with ability to read that

[Darthlaw]

As a french speaker, I can tell you that does not translate as done deal.

Ramsey ?

[Iloveyoubrady]

Definitely doesn’t mean done deal but says negotiations are near completion suggesting it’s nearly there. Also I think l’equipe are an accurate source?

I think your right I saw the word concluded and got excited

[wilks_bfc]

And for those of us who have forgotten the GCSE French we learnt

It's a particularly winding, even chaotic sometimes file, but this time Maxwel Cornet (24 years old) should get involved with Burnley. For several days, as indicated in our columns last week, Lyon and the English club have agreed on an amount estimated at some €17 million.

The former Messin has long been reluctant to join the Premier League club, favouring Hertha Berlin. Lyon pushed to obtain a high price by relying on English intermediaries. Burnley offered a lower salary than that currently received by Cornet. But the negotiations are about to succeed

[Colburn_Claret]

If we do get Cornet then I think any other player would not be a winger as with Ramsey we would have 4. It hopefully would be in CM as we only have 3 serious players there in Westwood, Cork and Brownhill (and as of yet Stephens has been largely injured, and still unknown re his qualities).

It's a long time ago now, but 5-6 years ago we used to come strong the last 15 minutes, as our fitness was always better than the opposition. I read a stat this morning, that we scored 60% of our goals in the first half last season. The highest ratio in the Prem. It tallies with a theme we've seen this season and noticeable towards the end of last, that we no longer have the legs.
Makes substitutions, and early substitutions all the more important.

[warksclaret]

Ramsey ?

What made me say that-meant Lennon

We're the oldest team in the Premier League , the starting 11 is virtually unchanged for 3 years and certainly isnt getting any quicker

I’m surprised you can read English tbh

'French lessons'

...you should be so lucky!

[Lancasterclaret]

Then what does it translate as then?

(not a dig, but I'm assuming you are a better French speaker than google translate!)

He's not in the Lyon squad for tonight, he's defo going, and the only suitor is us (which I'm still very surprised at)

[HyperClaret]

As another French speaker, I can help a bit :

"Absent du groupe qui affronte Nantes ce vendredi soir, le Lyonnais Maxwel Cornet doit rejoindre Burnley dans les heures à venir."

(Absent from the group which is facing Nantes this Friday evening, the Lyonnais Maxwel Cornet must join Burnley in the hours to come.)

L'Equipe seems to think we'll be signing him sometime today... I hope so!
