January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[arise_sir_charge]

Funny one Carroll, as the main signing absolutely not but as someone to send on as a battering ram with Roberts trying to fling them on his head he’d be worth a do. Rather him than Barnes!

[KRBFC]

Apparently on 1k a week at the moment according to daily mail.

If we could bring him in on not a lot more could do a job till end of season.

Don’t get me wrong it’s not what I want at all. But we have to prioritise CM and RM this window.

I'm surprised you'd be happy with swapping Chris Wood for Andy ******* Carroll

[KRBFC]

Speaking to a Reading fan - Carroll has been a real leader for them and hasn’t put a foot wrong. He text me to say he is disappointed to lose him.

He also said if Dyche can transform Barton it will be a walk in the park with Carroll.

I don’t see what we have to lose here right now.

Reading are 21st in the Championship. Andy Carroll has scored 1 goal. It’s the most ridiculous rumour I’ve ever seen from this club and we signed Crouch and Walters in the past.

[Vegas Claret]

I want to sign him and just ping throw ins at him - just to see Klopp, Pep and Arteta have a meltdown about it

[colne-claret]

Costa isn't a free agent. He signed with Atlético Mineiro until December 2022.

He is. Got released few days ago.

[Jakubclaret]

Its funny but we were recruiting better and then making profit on player sales towards the end of Howe's era ant the first few years of Dyche

We bought wisely with Heaton, Ward, Arfield, Barton, Jones (all frees), Austin,Trippier, Tarks, Keane, Vokes, Gray to mention a few

We sold wisely-Heaton,Austin, Ings, Keane, Gray, Vokes. These sales made us good money but the re-investment in new players halted about two years ago

A club like us CAN survive but its only by planning and being "smart" in having good scouts surveying the lower leagues and buying them before they become more sought after. Brentford as has been mentioned above have been superb at buying good prospects, developing them, then making a monstrous profit on them. Southampton are another example of a club that buys shrewdly and makes good profits on the sale of certain players. As a result both Saints & Brentford have enough in the bag already this season to fight another day in the PL. At the start of the season they were to me likely to be in the botton two or three.Whilst SD has performed heroics for about 8 years I cannot help feeling that his stubbornness on which players he is prepared to work with has seriously come home to roost and make the job of survival almost impossible

Agree regarding Southampton & Brentford another 1 palace at the start of the season with viera being new in the job & the rebuild they undertook some on here had their mortgage on palace being relegated whilst some of us remained silent observing them buying olise & guehi ect at pretty much a snip if you are smart at recruitment you don’t need to spend a fortune & get it right.

He scored two incredible goals other night albeit offside

[Vegas Claret]

The problem with Carroll particularly now in the PL in 2022 where refs/var exist he would be a red card just waiting to happen in every game

[Burnley Ace]

He’s got a better return for goals and assists this year than Wood

[Jakubclaret]

He’s got a better return for goals and assists this year than Wood

In what league?

[Burnleyareback2]

Thought that about Barton

[Mala591]

He is. Got released few days ago.

Then Diego it is!

Get that flight tracker app working

[DCWat]

Carroll would be a Laws esque appointment

[bobinho]

Carroll would be a Laws esque appointment

If he is half as effective as Dean Marney (a Laws appointment) i'd be delighted.

Onew thing is for sure, he wouldn't be as ineffective as Wood has been this season...

[DCWat]

He’d surely keep the medical team busy

[agreenwood]

Reading FC Twitter is an interesting read tonight. They have been impressed by him and aren’t surprised he’s been linked with a move back to the Prem.

Whilst I am not advocating the signing of Andy Carroll it is worth noting that Jay Rodriguez has netted 1 PL goal in his last 44 appearances for Burnley, but presumably fans are quite happy with him leading the line on Saturday?

[Elizabeth]

Re: Carroll
Your names have all been taken and someone will be round to see your parents in the morning

All three of our strikers are awful for the PL in 2022 - Jay will start as he is the only one that is fit. Carroll and Defoe need to disappear from any conversation this window, we’re done if we sign them.

[Father Jack]

Reading FC Twitter is an interesting read tonight. They have been impressed by him and aren’t surprised he’s been linked with a move back to the Prem.

Immediately available, short term contract, no fee, low wages.
Knows the league. Match fit.
Has been widely written off so something to prove.
Would be a weapon on the end of Robert’s long throws, set pieces etc. And with Jay being our only fit striker it’s essential to add numbers.

I’m not opposed to this as long as the real money is spent upgrading key CM and wing deficiencies.

[Steddyman]

I haven’t been impressed with Jay at all since he came back, and I thought he would be an excellent signing for us.

Shame we didn’t move him on rather than Woody,

[Cleveleys_claret]

Imagine...last day of the season Burnley vs Newcastle...Wood vs Carroll. I somehow think it is written in the stars Carroll the free agent will score the winner to send the 25 million striker down

[ClaretMov]

I'd have Andy Carroll in a heartbeat, yes he's 33 but we'd get 18 months out of him, he's bigger nastier and more skillful than anything we've got at the moment, once we bring in more player's he'd be brilliant to bring off the bench in the premier league or championship remember at the end of this season we loose both Vydra and Rodriguez., no brainer for me, Reading have got him fit and I've read on various Web sites he only takes a wage of 1 grand a week at reading so jump in and offer him Premier league football for a few grand more, nothing to lose and I bet he out scores 25 million pound Chris Wood

[RVclaret]

Absolutely embarrassing if we seriously swap Wood for Carroll

[ClaretMov]

Back up forward for a few grand a week, until we replace Wood...... Vydra is out for a few weeks Barnes is finished that leaves Rodriguez, we need someone in for a quick fix with premier league experience and he fits the bill.

Plus him and Rodriguez up front together, the deadly man bun duo

[blake's wand]

Carroll would be a great signing. On his day, absolutely unplayable. Our best signings have all come with points to prove.

As others have said, zero risk pretty much. Our remaining strikers have 1 goal between them this season....

[Vegas Claret]

I say get him in, we might actually score from a set piece

Presumably you were also advocating the Lennon resigning as someone who ‘fits the bill’ and ‘pads out the squad’. Carroll has scored around 1 goal over the last 2 seasons, yet suddenly he’s the man to bring in? Yet another > 30 (33) past it, injury prone signing and continuation of hoof ball to follow.

[jrgbfc]

I was hoping the arrival of Cornet and departure of Wood was going to signal a change in our approach to signing younger, technically better footballers.

[Quicknick]

Absolutely embarrassing if we seriously swap Wood for Carroll

It wouldn't be a swap. 25 million in/nothing out.

[blake's wand]

We can't suddenly change our whole squad's ability and way of playing in January. No point bringing in a technical small striker, if our whole game plan is built around being direct. The rest of our players are able to play direct, they aren't suddenly going to turn into Man City.

Summer is the time to change the game plan

I'm talking about padding the squad out with a proven top flight goal scorer for the rest of the season on very little wages, at the moment the other alternative is to play Lennon up front who is nor a striker is older than Carroll and is to small to play upfront in a lump it football team, Carroll ticks all the boxes SHORT TERM not a long term star signing

[RicardoMontalban]

Absolutely embarrassing if we seriously swap Wood for Carroll

Thing is we are a bit snookered right now. We’ve just over two weeks to sort something out or we’re left with a striker who’s not scored in the prem for one and a half seasons, and two sick notes. We’d all love to get someone in that a bit more dynamic but chances are we’ll get rinsed.

If Carroll comes he may be an adequate stop gap till the end of the season, I don’t think we’d be any worse off than if we’d kept Wood and his form from the first half of the season carried over. Let’s be honest he stank the place out and was a shadow of the player who scored 10+ goals every season previously.

But all this is as well as the fact we desperately need to add to what we have else where on the pitch. Bring in a couple of midfielders that are upgrades on what we have and we may finish January stronger over all.

Carroll might just do a job for us but we are in a shocker of a position right now.

[RicardoMontalban]

It may yet, but the arse end of January isn’t the time to do it.

[HunterST_BFC]

Kieffer Moore got mentioned to me last night.
Surely this is not right?

We urgently need a striker in.

Can we recall Joel Mumbongo?

...and also get one in.

(place and where you feel fit).

[ClaretAL]

I don't see Chris Wood ever scoring these.

https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/s ... ed-offside

[mybloodisclaret]

Joel Mumbongo is out injured for the season I think.

[ClaretAndJew]

I don't see Chris Wood ever scoring these.

https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/s ... ed-offside

Andy Carroll didn't score them either.

[jrgbfc]

It may yet, but the arse end of January isn’t the time to do it.

Thing is we keep saying that. Unless he's forced to change Dyche will stay in his comfort zone of signing experienced British players for eternity.

[HunterST_BFC]

Nobody does if you are yards offside. They are not Goals.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Not particularly happy about it. But I can see the reasoning, Dyche likes a target man, not going to get many cheaper than carrol

[Woodleyclaret]

He's one from left field , Juke at Birmingham
We've got previous for resigning former players and he's certainly improved on the scoring front since leaving.

[jojomk1]

Can we compete financially with these bigger clubs

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Absolutely embarrassing if we seriously swap Wood for Carroll

We’re not swapping though?

We’re reacting to losing our only striker who-has-scored-3-goals-this-season-while-looking-disinterested.

If I’m having a “who’s available to keep us up” staff meeting they are Carroll, Costa, Nketiah, Ramsey, Barkley, Wilshire and any mate of Maxwel from Ligue Un or the Ivory Coast.


Your moaning along such structured and mainstream lines is frankly boring.

[Newcastleclaret93]

https://www.footballinsider247.com/sour ... -pederson/

I really hope we don’t try and sign him. I would say he his mid table championship level but even that might be a stretch. I can only assume it’s to come in to replace Pieters leaving in the summer.

[RicardoMontalban]

Thing is we keep saying that. Unless he's forced to change Dyche will stay in his comfort zone of signing experienced British players for eternity.

But we have to be realistic about where we are at this exact moment in time. I want to see the changes that most Burnley fans want, and we have to move away from this Craggy Island over 75s priest 5 a side team thing we’ve got going on, but that takes a bit more planning than we’ve done so far.

[Conroysleftfoot]

I get your point regarding Palace but the money they spent is still far beyond our means. They spent upwards of 80 million before this season got underway, coupled with the 20 million the season before on Eze, that's 100 million. Can you see us ever being able to spend like that?

[BLH_Claret]

This thread is now full of people desperately trying to convince themselves that this would be a good move. It’s like watching some sort of suicide cult.

Or more likely ‘the least worst option available’. Conversely you’ve got the galaxy brains convinced we’ll magic the next Mbappe out of nowhere when for all their millions Newcastle came up with Chris Wood.
