January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[claretblue]

What keeps drawing me back to this thread? HELP ME!!!

only one click behind you minne!

come on Alan…get Eriksen signed on loan!

[bobinho]

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

Pep wouldn't need to worry about that considering where he would be sat for every game...

It's the hope that it's not some dreamed up rubbish inside someones head!

If anyone ever asked me what purgatory was really like………..

[alwaysaclaret]

Flicking through the online news channels it doesn't even look like we're remotely interested in signing anyone, and listening to woman's press doesn't fill you with any confidence either, "well we have covid case's and we're down to the bare bones but we'll carry on regardless cos that's what Burnley do" was he's summing up of the situation, and whilst we absolutely don't need any further postponements due to the virus, it's the manner in which he's said it. Baffling !!!

[LaLigaClaret]

Would anyone on here support us trying to get Cantwell from Norwich supposedly at £15m and Origi at £9m as rumoured to be available on Sky sports ?

[warksclaret]

Cantwell is a class player but would he move to us. Definitely worth that sort of money even if he is OOC in June. His value would only grow

[cockneyclaret]

Would be very happy to sign Phillips and Origi from Liverpool, probably need to sell Tarks to fund some of that though.

[NewClaret]

Origi and Cantwell would be outstanding signings. Can’t see either joining us though, since they’ll both have other options

[Mala591]

Gareth Bale must be bored to death sitting on his arse in Spain. Offer him £60k a week (Real Madrid pay the rest of his weekly salary) and he gets guaranteed PL football every week.

Gareth gets a game, Real Madrid save £60k a week. What’s the problem?

Come on Alan get on that phone!

Have to get his best mate Hennessey to have a word.

I think Gareth quite enjoys the Madrid golf courses playing in 65 degrees in the winter though.

Don't think he'd swap that for Burnley golf club in the snow and ice somehow..

[Guller Bull]

I want O'Brien now!

When you get to that point in your career you need to test yourself on different terrains.

Burnley Golf Club would represent a fresh challenge.

Woan on signings yesterday:

"I think every coach and manager, if you ask the question ‘would you like to add to the squad in January?’ they would say yes," said Woan.

"We are no different, our recruitment team and ownership are working hard to do that.

"Obviously we want to strengthen."


Makes a nice change from the “traditionally a difficult market for us, someone’s got to write a cheque” narrative that we get.

[jackmiggins]

What difference does it really make? Let’s face it, no one at the club will tell all and sundry what they are planning/negotiating in the transfer market - quite rightly.

[NewClaret]

It doesn’t make any difference to the outcome.

But as fans it’s pleasing to hear a) that the management want to strengthen, since it’s often not always stated, and b) the ownership is working hard, which is all we can ask.

As a fan, I prefer that message than the constant downplaying of expectations. We need some hope and positivity from leadership at the moment.

Marseille favourites it says in his report although it does say the player is open to a move to the Premier League.

[warksclaret]

The under currents I am receiving is that in the space of a month or so the talk has gone from buying to loaning new players. Maybe the reality of relegation for Alan Pace has become more of a factor in that time and caused a mood change. Watching some of the Cup games yesterday, and indeed our very own v Huddersfield, has just gone to show there is talent in the majority of Championship sides that would improve our starting 11. Nearer to home Collins from League 1 has proved the point. Huddersfield is what 30 minutes from Burnley ??, and it took a defeat by them to realise they have a number of outstanding players-so what are our recruitment team people doing. We will no doubt have several hundred posts on the likelihood of Fulgini joining us. Its not going to happen-he only has to look at our league position and You-tube us.Lets trawl the Championship and League 1, because Burnley to these prospects is still an aspiration, more so than it is to a promising young French footballer who may not want to leave his country

[Woodleyclaret]

Spot on Warks
I have previously got panned for suggesting signing players from lower leagues as they are not fit for purpose
John Swift at Reading was one, suddenly others have seen his potential
Our scouts seem to be way behind the curve
When Josh Brownhill signed from Bristol they had a flying winger playing well then he left for a very low fee to play in Greece
Closer to home Nat Phillips is available quotes in the region of £10m have been mentioned but still we dither re incoming players

You do wonder what our recruitment team are doing.

I have mentioned on threads Johnson when he was at Lincoln. He’s now looking at a 20m quid move to Southampton.

I did a post about Sorba Thomas, he then tore our team apart in about 30 mins yesterday.

If a “clown” on a messageboard can see players like that why can’t our recruitment team.

Woodley-just been watching an old FOOLS & Horses and Del Boy has just come out with "he who dares wins". We sadly wait until these prospects become higher profile then can't afford them. Bowen is an example. How often have O'Brien and Jason Knight featured under this topic ??

[MACCA]

As I mentioned weeks ago, it wouldn't have surprised me if we were waiting until after the Leeds game to see where we were at, then planned from there.
Our owners aren't as daft as some fans.

If we were playing well only a couple of points off 16th it's worth the gamble.
If we are playing ( term used lightly ) like a team who have lost their fight and look resound to relegation, then we must plan now for a season in the championship.

We cannot gamble now and put the long term future of the club at risk.

Prepare now for a season in the championship, and a give us the best chance of an instant return.
We need to hit the ground running next season, we can't be flapping about on deadline day in August.

Maybe they can but then they don’t pass Dyche’s personality quiz?

Both these post's absolutely spot on, I also spotted bowen, swift etc, another is jed Wallace, and now Ross Stewart at Sunderland is showing signs, but it's unbelievably naive of a club of our stature not to notice and act on player's like these. At the end of the day we're in the Premier league and these types of player shouldn't be beyond the realms of possibilities to sign, we're clearly not in the market for £50m players but these types shouldn't be beyond us. Dyche in my opinion is looking for players he's never going to find, so clearly he needs to adapt and take a gamble now and then.

[arise_sir_charge]

Dyche is far too rigid in what he wants.

When we sign someone like Cornet it’s as though it goes against all his natural instincts, he even talks openly about such players having to learn about the framework etc.

[warksclaret]

Theres only one framework Cornet needs to know and there is one of each at both ends of the pitch. He has already shown he understands the framework-it happened in his first start

[arise_sir_charge]

Agreed, we’ve 10 other lads doing all the graft (or at least we used to) surely we can afford to let Cornet just play!

[alwaysaclaret]

So consequently do we stick or twist with dyche, there's good argument with both, with the present tactics and player's I feel we're definitely relegated, so who's best to bring us back, yes there's good argument to stick with him cos he's done it before, on yesterday's performance at least, the players we have are simply not good enough, so then we need new, so is dyche the one going forward given he's current idea's and "framework"

Worry ye not, Dyche is out scouting and is determined to lower the age of the squad.

[Mala591]

Why was Cornet allowed to leave for the ACON? He’d hadn’t fully recovered from injury and Covid. That’s why he was a substitute for his last appearance. Complete madness imo.

Might be worth selling him now well his value is still reasonably high, he's one of the 30+ bracket, and only has 18 months left on his contract.

And if we could source a couple of younger strikers who we could then hone, I'd seriously consider letting him go.

In a deal that brings Hendrick back here probably !

[Papabendi]

looks to me like Newcastle are doing everything possible to disrupt us.

[DCWat]

He’s been woeful this season but selling him would only make sense if we had someone in the door first.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Sell Wood and buy Denis Undav and a CM. Could be some good business there

Really tough one this because on the one hand I don’t think he’s getting the service he used to. Our problems lie in midfield and creating quality chances. He’s also our only proven goal scorer at this level so it doesn’t immediately feel like a good move for us to sell him in a delegation relegation rival. I’m not sure I could take it if he scored to send us down on the last day…

Having said that, he’s one of the ones that looks disinterested and if he stayed I could see him being dropped, so if it’s a case of him sitting on our bench or getting some money to invest this window, do you take it?

[alwaysaclaret]

Can't imagine this being anything else but paper talk, I mean why the hell would Newcastle want to sign him, seriously this has to be some sort of sick joke.

[Mala591]

This ^ is what’s happening

[claretgimmer]

Our problem is Dyche`s mindset, I agree with the sentiments of buying potential from a lower league club who would probably settle for less than the top wages we pay but Dyche always seems to default to old has beens journeymen because they`ve already played at this level, but the team doesn`t evolve as it needs to hence we`re here, yet for not much more if you combine fees and wages over a period we could have had that new blood, for my money that`s Dyche not Garlick, lets not forget it took a 5-1 drubbing by Everton for him to realise that Hart was detrimental to our defending ability and McNeill was our only real creative player who were then brought back and things improved no end but it took a reality check for Dyche to wake up, unfortunately I feel we are in that situation again and the likes of Collins, Roberts as well as Cornet need to start playing regularly and any new additions not held back too long before being introduced at least they hopefully will have the hunger and energy sadly lacking at the moment.

I agree it is a tough one, but IF selling Wood allows us to generate the necessary funds to bring in a quality CM, and a replacement striker, we have to think about it at least, as the present squad Cornet excepted has become increasingly stale, and it needs freshening up one way another.

I'd rather we rebuffed Newcastle as you rightly say they are a direct relegation rival, but perhaps their interest will alert others and we'll get a bidding war to bump the fee up.
