January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[DukeOfBar]

looks good on the video clips, not sure he'll get so much space/time in the premier league mind.. some 'woeful defending' on some of those!

[tiger76]

From the look of him, he looks a creative central midfielder. Something we are lacking.

Definitely, and something we've lacked since Defour departed. Our goals/assists from midfield are pathetic, and this is an area we badly need to rectify ASAP.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Sevilla also interested

I thought of Defour when I was watching him. I guess time will tell.
As you mentioned, the very fact we are interested in these sorts of players is nice to see and a positive. I hear the Sunderland lad if we sign him, we'll loan him back to them - IF we did drop down this season, we're bringing players in who would be the best players in the Championship for the 1 season we're down there.

I'd go to Spurs for Winks and Sessegnon.

Winks been involved quite a bit since Conte arrived

[taio]

Conte has just said Winks is going nowhere

[KRBFC]

I could come up with fancier names but I think it's vital we bring in a couple of experienced younger players who wont take time to adapt.

[Burnley1989]

Didn’t see that coming

Fake account

[Burnley1989]

Ignore that, just seen it’s not his official account

Everton also busy in the market.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59847046

Angelo Fulgini, a couple of Ligue 1 goals in recent weeks;

It's January. Where are all the transfers?

Still holidays though isn't it. Generally the moves happen later in the window, plus clubs might be less keen to sell given the covid uncertainty.

I think he was taking the p1ss

[NewClaret]

All I will say is, as I did last January. There'll be surprises. Good surprises.
I have been not only bang on accurate with telling you this I've been astonishingly accurate but can tell you now. There will be signings and some of those are going to top Cornet's signing. Don't be surprised to see our transfer record broken a couple of times.
I'll leave it at that.
My information has proven itself to be bob on when most of you laughed it off.

I bloody hope you’re right. And I’ll take it because a month of hope followed by disappointment is better than a month of no hope and the same disappointment.

But not sure what you mean by “as I did last January” since we didn’t sign anyone last January?

[CrosspoolClarets]

Cannot see Dyche wanting Fulgini, known to give the ball away a lot. Feels like we need more of a Defour with ball retention, craft and finishing ability. Possible if the deep lying number 10 like we used at Man U is the future for us, with two behind but as I say I doubt he is Sean’s cup of tea.

Can see Fulgini going to Fulham who were sniffing around.

The other problem might lie with work permit issues, he's not a full international from what I have read, or does that not matter these days?

[warksclaret]

Even though Howe signed him for us he never got the best out of Trippier. Wonder what formation he'll use to get him playing better this time?

However much money Eddie spends he has never been a successive manager of good defensive play

Putting my faith in you Ben-one of the few on here that brings hope

[tiger76]

Indeed! it's one thing buying the players, it's quite another moulding them into a team, and EH and Newcastle don't have the luxury of time either, they need their new signings to make an instant impact, which isn't always easy in the PL.

[warksclaret]

Is Fulgini not going to be involved in the ANC, or would we be working with his agent

He represented France at U21 and other youth levels.

You do realise what you're letting yourself in for on this board if these signings don't transpire You're either very confident or very brave

No. A news article a while ago.

If you're saying Wikipedia is a good information source I agree completely.

[Iloveyoubrady]

The Fulgini one is a weird one because there’s been so much written about him before the window, you’d think there is at least a hint of truth in it, but then he doesn’t seem the type we’d be trying to sign. Clearly a good attacking midfielder, but even when we play 4411 we tend to go with a quick, agile 10 to get on the end of flick ons.
He looks a class player mind, I’d be very pleased if we get someone like him.

Hopefully the former for all our sakes.

Cheers pal.

I think it's overdue that we stopped "flick-ons" as an attacking play.
They do not work.

[Newcastleclaret93]

West Brom sign Daryl Dike.

Really thought we would have been interested in this one

[RVclaret]

Hmm Yeah from what I saw he’s definitely a Dyche type striker

[Newcastleclaret93]

I just thought the type of deal would have suited us as well

6 month loan deal with a view to permanent transfer in the summer

[Newcastleclaret93]

The Athletic have just posted the following;

• Understand #WatfordFC have agreed deals for Nice LB Hassane Kamara & KAS Eupen DM Edo Kayembe
• Besiktas’ Vida is target with CB next
• Ranieri to be backed with incomings

they'll sign 5, give Ranieri a week with them then sack him

I'll be surprised if Ranieri is still the Hornets manager in a few days.

Can't comment on any of those players mentioned as they aren't familiar to me.

Clever move by Watford; avoiding any future AFCON issues by signing African players that aren’t good enough to be called up for their national team

[EarbyClaret]

We tried to sign Fulgini in the summer. We met Angers asking price outbidding Feyenoord and as with Cornet personal terms agreed

The issue as always is that other clubs are likely to enter the race - match/better our terms and be a more attractive proposition for the player

The edge we have - assuming we still want to go ahead - is that all of the financial arrangements are in place.

So if it is going to happen assume we will want to get a deal done early rather than wait and then miss out on this plus possible secondary targets

Why didn't he sign ?

Interesting

I know Willie McKay is a fairly popular agent for French footballers so probably something in it

It seems the case with Watford that any manager has no say in who they sign, but has to make the best of what they are given.

Aston Villa, Everton and Palace all after McNeil according to the Sun.
