Not a rumour but me personally would go for Reading midfielder John swift (26) he's got eight goals and nine assists in 21 league appearances and right winger Jed Wallace (27) at Millwall he's got 5 goals and 6 assists in 21 league appearances, both young and out of contract in the summer and probably could be picked up for 8/10 million for both.
Both have been mentioned by numerous posters including myself, and TBH I'm not even sure it would cost anywhere near 8/10 million for the pair.
Ideal signings in my view, and also in positions where we need strengthening.

The problem we have is with the vast majority of new signings, our manager is very reluctant to throw them straight in. Due to our more than precarious position it could well be too late before the manager sees them as "ready".

I'd say 40 million all in for tripps is a little high given his age
[/quote
I don't know the exact figures including salaries, do you?
But I'd guess his wages are not too dissimilar to the rest of the team who are already in place, and they won't have all been signed in January where you will pay top dollar.
I don't think the "fee" paid for him could be considered top dollar, if anything, I think Newcastle have bagged him at a good price, and bagged early.

I don't know the exact figures but you seem to think you do because you say Newcastle bagged him at a good price, I don't, sky say fee 12 million rising to 25 million, several say wage between 100 and 140k a week even on the lower end that's 5.2 million a year and that's around 13 million without bonuses at very least making a grand total of around 40 million minimum.......that's a lot for a play of his age

If Newcastle are safe at the end of this season. I dread to think their spending in Summer-then the pressure will really be on Eddie. I remember how long Mark Hughes lasted at Man City when the funds started to be turned on

Yes I agree with both your suggestions, but why would they want to come to Burnley?
We’d need to offer them double their current salary and an ‘understanding’ that they would be competing with the rest of the first team squad from day one.

Can't imagine the pressure ever really being on Howe. If he does well, great. If he doesn't then he gets a massive pay off.
There's not really a better position for a manager to be in. He knows he's not gong to be there long term, either way.

To be fair I can’t imagine Collins thought he was going to start. Doesn’t even start for Ireland hes not going to come in and start ahead of Tarks straight away.

The price of crude oil goes up 1% and that transfer and wages is probably paid for in an instant

Why not? If Tarks is leaving and we’ve continued our interest in Phillips, then surely the sooner e is in with the squad, the better? All clubs have targets and our priority is clearly the midfield, BUT if one of your other targets becomes a possibility, then you should never ever let it go by!
See your point but if we are short on cash, I’d assume spending above £10m on one player might not leave much, if any room, to improve elsewhere. Therefore in times like this where we are desperate for a new midfielder I’d say the funds should be prioritised there. That’s what would happen in most businesses anyway.

It seems to me that there is one huge common denominator between the previous owners and the new owners, and that's what's stopping signing player's IMHO, it's called Sean dyche, in every interview regarding new players he seems to go above and beyond to find reasons why players don't fit the business model, he talks very often about overthinking things, he needs to give his head a wobble in my opinion, the new owners have on more than one occasion said that there's money available, yet we still muck about at the opening of every window, we need players for God sake, if they can play football and have stats to prove it then let's go get them, ooc players like the ones we are talking about surely would be doable for 8/10 million I fully agree.

Wallace is on 12k a week Swift is on 22k a week we could more than double those and even if we are relegated they would still be on more than what they are getting now.
Competing with who ??? both are better than what we have in the positions they currently play in

Are they better though? I would say similar ability. Mid table championship players rarely step up and improve clubs.

I don't and wirh him in early and some very winnable games in January, it's a master stroke from Eddie in my opinion.
I’ve said it all along with Newcastle that I don’t think they’ll get relegated this season or last but it doesn’t stop some people frothing at the mouth when they’ve lost a few on the trot insisting Newcastle will, I agree with your post that KT is a shrewd addition I expect more will follow him on Tyneside.

13 goals, 15 assists between them it's a no brainer claret move, fully agree and in 21 games, what will those figures look like after 46 games, yes their in the championship but I'm convinced they'd improve us, teamed up with max and Dwight in the no 10 role drop wood for vydra for a through ball which he just doesn't get so dyche deems it all vyds fault, and all we need then is a bit more effort from tarkowski at set pieces to bag a couple, if he doesn't want to put effort in bench him for collins and make him wait for his move to Newcastle till he's contract is up. Job done, Premier league football next season, and keep the rebuild going then.

Would it REALLY make a difference if it was just RUMOURS? I think not - far too many well educated and well informed posters on this site. In reality, none of us has the faintest idea of the inner plans, player contracts etc, so 99% of the posts are drivel.

We know the drill.
Identify a player
Faff about a bit with bits of bids here and there
Miss out either then or later in time when they've developed more
They move on to bigger and better things
We can all look on and think what we could have had

We know the drill.
Identify a player
Faff about a bit with bits of bids here and there
Miss out either then or later in time when they've developed more
They move on to bigger and better things
We can all look on and think what we could have had
Cornet?

Would it REALLY make a difference if it was just RUMOURS? I think not - far too many well educated and well informed posters on this site. In reality, none of us has the faintest idea of the inner plans, player contracts etc, so 99% of the posts are drivel.
Absolutely, and most of us realise that but pop on for a chat about bits we’ve heard. As I mentioned previously on the thread when something happens, it will get three knew threads and possibly not even appear on here.

I have mentioned before scouting around the fringe of the top clubs-Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, , Arsenal for potential loans. You never know we could secure the next Mount, Gallagher, Timori,Jack Harrison or Harvey Elliott. Playing tonight for Man City is Cole Palmer-he plays the odd game for the first team,as a striker, however he might have been available on loan to someone who could give him first team experience. Its not rocket science

Why would Pep want a talented ball playing youngster who needs to develop with possession based passing football to go out on loan to a team that can’t string 5 passes together
