Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[joey13]

McNeil is 2 yrs younger, his contract runs until 2024 with the option of a further year.
Dan James' contract ran until 2024

Dwight McNeil is first choice, played twice the amount of games for us as James did for Utd.

McNeil will step up when he leaves, James has stepped down.

These details matter.

I said based on that comparison

[Jakubclaret]

How has James stepped down he’s signed for the biggest club in the world

He's not stepped down in terms of pursuing the best career path for himself but he has in terms of present club stature.

[NewClaret]

Come on Alan, make a little enquiry about Lingard

[BurnleyFC]

A good window for us, but I’d have loved a creative central attacking midfielder to have come in as well, although I do appreciate that might be seen as somewhat greedy.

[Vegas Claret]

Come on Alan, make a little enquiry about Lingard

United are done ins and outs apparently

[ClaretAndJew]

A few Shipyard IPA's and the Transfer Window Deadline, what more could I want

[Indecisive]

Wouldn’t have thought Barkley would be the kind of character that Dyche would go for.

[Pearcey]

What sort of character is he? I’ve not heard owt bad about him.

A few Shipyard IPA's and no Transfer Window Deadline?

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Barkley definitely has a drinkwater feel about him, might be wise to try and get another bargain from aborad in January if we know anyone like Cornet but who plays centrally.

[Pearcey]

Boden has just repeated that Barkley ain’t happening.

[ClaretLoup]

You have to wonder why Dean Smith did not want to sign Barkley with all the money Villa have at their disposal.

[lrac]

Boden has just repeated that Barkley ain’t happening.

Does boden know if anything else is happening? .thanks

[elwaclaret]

Does boden know if anything else is happening? .thanks

General consensus, that is probably be it; but no one is sure.

[helmclaret]

I’m hearing there could possibly be one more, a loan.

But it will go to the wire and without a medical.

No medical ??

[PadihamThickNeck]

1/3 to sign for us.

The bookies rarely get these things wrong…

[dandeclaret]

The bookies rarely get these right……

[Froobs]

1/3 to sign for us.

When it goes so short so soon its inside info driving the price

[Froobs]

No medical ??

Medical is down to the club buying or loaning

[MDWat]

Is it heck. Someone putting 50p on those markets drives it to odds on!

[summitclaret]

No medical ??

Presume sent back if significant injury.

[minnieclaret]

You have to wonder why Dean Smith did not want to sign Barkley with all the money Villa have at their disposal.

Excellent point as SD and Smith are buddies. maybe he got the heads up?

[randomclaret2]

Medical is down to the club buying or loaning

So we dont feel one is needed in this case, or we've run out of time to carry one out ?

[claretgoss]

That's from a few hours ago isn't it? Has been showing as 3/1 instead for a while now

[Froobs]

So we dont feel one is needed in this case, or we've run out of time to carry one out ?

Either or

[willsclarets]

Given that "loan deals do not count", I would say our odds are closer to 3000/1

[Tall Paul]

Read it again...

[ClaretAndJew]

Except it says they do count.

[dandeclaret]

It isn’t. It’s small money on a very risky market.

[willsclarets]

[Bin Ont Turf]

Go on just one more in and I may just do a little jig.

[claretburns]

How much do you think the training ground has to do with players like Cornet signing for us? Do you think it is all pretty much down to Premier League football and the wages on offer, or does the new training ground draw players in as well as a place to work each day? Apart from everything done on the pitch, it surely has to be the lasting legacy of Dyche's reign?

[dermotdermot]

With who? i see what Boden has said but you never know? maybe we should tell SSN to keep up? I think you will find I have spent many hours trying to bring in all the conjecture, bo!!ocks or not as soon as I see it to this thread in an effort to keep all informed.

No need to get your tits in a tangle, AL. I was merely making light of it all.

[Elizabeth]

I think that’ll be it , hope so anyway as it’s been a successful window and would hate it to be spoiled at the very end

I think it helps but at the level of player we are now looking at, I doubt it makes a decisive difference to them. As good as our facility is compared to what we used to have, the vast majority of clubs now have amazing facilities for the senior players.

I think as you mentioned the salary, the contract length and the managers plans will help them decide.

I think, and hope that it will help more with younger players, who hopefully will have many many years to come working at the training ground, and more importantly impress their parents who will have a big say in the initial signature..

[HunterST_BFC]

pinched from bbc but made me laugh...

Great news I've heard Newcastle United are signing Neymar! That's Neymar defenders, Neymar midfielders and Neymar strikers. (Stolen from a very good friend of mine)

John from Blyth

[gawthorpe_view]

Go on just one more in and I may just do a little jig.

I might do a little bit of wee.

[ClaretAL]

I personally think this window ha been the best since 82 when I became a Claret, not only because the club far exceeded on those coming in, but we kept hold of our best players at a time when money is a wash across premiere league clubs have gone balls deep on money and could have been easy to cash out. Well done the board, and lets hope SD signs now he has had the backing.

[ClaretAndJew]

A positive thing to note during this transfer window is the contracts signed by our new incomings, 4-5 year deals. Normally it's 3 isn't it? Historically I mean. We either have some serious finance or a more persuasive owner, or both.

Given that he's been nowhere near Burnley I wouldn't say the training ground has made any difference whether he signed or not. Do players sign because of it? I know players turned us down when it was in a poor state.

[Taffy on the wing]

Look how much money we spaffed up the wall with that deal… I know you can’t predict the future, and getting jumped in a club can happen to anyone. But you need to invest correctly. He was never going to be match fit for returning even if he didn’t get attacked. Much better off with Brownhill

.......is that you Boris?

They've been getting longer. Brownhill signed a four and a half year deal with a further year option in Jan 2020.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

If he's spent some time doing his research on the club prior to signing, seeing our current training ground probably helped.

[CombatClaret]

I'm just here to see this reach 200...

[minnieclaret]

Is this true or the down payment?

I thought you'd Hung yourself after the Hennessy signing......

Are you on the wind up?

Eh? That's how much he's worth in the Fantasy Football.
