Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[CardiffClaret]

His close control is incredible, 19yr old? Surely he would cost serious money??

Apparently is being allowed to leave on a free by Valencia, not sure why, but hence the interest in him from a number of Premier League clubs.

According to wiki he was the Asian Young Footballer of the Year in 2019 and the winner of the golden ball (most outstanding player) at the 2019 U-20 World Cup. Must be decent!

[SGr]

No way the Cornet deal gets over the line under the previous administration.

[RVclaret]

Really hope we still have more business to be done!

[Bigvince]

Chris Bowden hasn’t been told to stand down yet!

[DCWat]

Not sure who, but priorities for me would be central midfield, forward and right back.

[brunlea99]

Heard that as well. Would make a lot of sense in terms of opening up a new revenue stream

He's reported to be joining Mallorca on a free.

[Vino blanco]

I still say we need one or two midfielders to upgrade on our current choices. If we could achieve this I would be much more confident.

Its a "korea-move" for him

[Elizabeth]

If this is the speculation thread, then who do we want next?

Interesting question Tony . Could there be a reason you ask?

[NewClaret]

Available on a free? Why?

[fidelcastro]

Personally, I'd like a central midfielder good enough to go straight into the starting XI.

[brunlea99]

Apparently to free up a non EU space:

Potentially great signing, cant get any worse than some of our other "major" purchases TBH - Vid nevers gets a game and nobody outside the club seems to know completely why, Brady less said the better, Hendricks turned from a 10m player to nothing in just over 4 years or at least did to the club and Gibson............yeah no comment.
Great news but I would refrain from popping the corks just yet lets see the proof in the pudding first guys.

[warksclaret]

I would agree. A box to box central midfielder capable of scoring goals-in the mould of Decoure, Bissouma, Sissoko. I know these guys are all out of our league but hopefully they describe the type of player

[Jakubclaret]

The players for a start. They've explained why they take the knee and why they don't like the booing. Given everything that Ben Mee has given to this club why not do him a simple courtesy and stfu?

Ben mee is simply a paid professional footballer doing his job nothing more & nothing less, he’s not here out of the goodness of his heart on some charitable journey.

[Pearcey]

Patrick Roberts next for me. I like the sound of Max and Paddy on the wings. Beat a man and say ‘can you see me now’

[claretandy]

Sissoko cost Watford 3m.

[warksclaret]

Sissoko cost Watford 3m.

Well, there you go

[RingoMcCartney]

Nice one.

[whentheballmoves]

Hopefully one or two more ..but who?!

[elwaclaret]

I expect the one person we could ask is Cornet, pretty sure he’ll know who we expect to come in. I’m expecting another impressive signing.

[Murger]

Dan James being offered around by United.

[Selby Claret]

Sissoko cost Watford 3m.

32 years old though

[jojomk1]

Christie has looked quite decent in first half for Celtic today

[burnley007]

Christie has looked quite decent in first half for Celtic today

Where does he actually play? AM?

[jojomk1]

Playing as a narrow rhs midfield today
Confident on the ball with good passing and not afraid to put a tackle in

[tiger76]

Not sure who, but priorities for me would be central midfield, forward and right back.

Central midfield & forward I agree, but right back isn't essential for me in this window, of course if somebody comes up at the right fee, then by all means get them in, but we're fairly well served with Bards/Lowts in that position.

Centre mid certainly needs an upgrade if we can, although Brownhill has been impressive this season, forwards yes I'd be looking to move Barnes on if we possibly could, and don't forget Vydra is out of contract next year, so if we got a decent offer for him we might have to at least consider it, although on balance I'd keep him unless we had a ready made replacement lined-up.

The reality is we aren't going to be able to achieve wholesale changes in only one window, but at least we're making huge strides compared to the past 5/6 windows that's for sure.

Where would he fit in with our team?

[Pearcey]

Anyway time for a beer. Same tomorrow as last Saturday you heard it here first

Is it though?

[claretandy]

32 years old though

Good enough for a few years.

[claretandy]

Is it though?

Nope.

Agreed - that was my order of priority with right back third, thinking of a future window and Bardsley ooc next summer.

[Peter Loo]

Where would he fit in with our team?

Anywhere he likes…oh apologies I thought you were talking about Maxwell

[whentheballmoves]

I liked the look of Dikes who was on loan at Barnsley last season, but I've no idea where he is now!

[mkmel]

Maybe he went back to the USA?

[claretabroad]

The idea that purchasing an Asian player will generate significant revenue in that country has not been true for a number of years, and potentially was never true at all. The premier league has been shown in those countries for years now and most fans already have a team. South Korea and Japan have a number of players playing in the top divisions across Europe and those teams have not seen a rise in region specific revenue because of the signings.

If the player is good enough and can make an impact on the field, then sign him. It won't increase revenue from Asia though.

[Vegas Claret]

we need a striker with pace, I'm a huge Vydra fan but I was disgusted with his lack of effort today as was Dyche who was raging with him.

[alwaysaclaret]

Was just going to say how has this anything to do with transfer window

[alwaysaclaret]

Maybe he's had enough of dyche sitting him on the bench till it's too late, and then expecting him to pull a rabbit out of hat

[tiger76]

You can excuse BFC players many things, but a lack of effort can't be tolerated by any players, especially a guy who's only coming on for 20 minutes, and who should be fresh.

I like Vydra, but he's blotted his copybook with that cameo, and if that's his attitude I can now see why he's not starting.

[Taffy on the wing]

AMN, or Christie would be good. Look Lookman just doesn't fill me with enthusiasm. He's also shown a reluctance to come here.

Lookman is a fantastic player!........We should get so lucky.

[Norfolk Claret]

Really!!! I was disgusted why in the last 2 games we’ve given up winning positions to come away with one point, due to our or a certain person’s reluctance to change it.

[Jakubclaret]

Booing makes people feel comfortable?

If remaining quiet to something that’s disagreeable then yes.

Looks to have come back heavier than last season but he was given the nod ahead of Jay Rod and did nothing to suggest this will happen again.

Very poor twenty minutes from him today.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Really. I thought Vydra got involved and threatened more than Barnes or jay would have...

[Peter Loo]

Fist start of the season for a short cameo part so I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

[warksclaret]

I was not at the game, but watched it on SKY. Was not really watching Vydra-what is it that has angered fans-his lack of effort ??

[Vegas Claret]

what's that got to do with Vydra's lack of effort ?

As discussed about 4 million times on here.......Dyche doesn't have any options on the bench.
