January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Spijed]

Carroll offers us nothing that Barnes already can't. Would be a terrible move for us.

But Barnes is a few weeks away from full fitness.

[Ptgclaret]

I hope Carroll is an awful long way down our list of targets. Signing him would just be embarrassing at this point. Can see it now - "most burnley signing ever"

[joey13]

At least I know about passports

No so smart now eh

[Backofthenet]

Iam fine... Jersey government say there's no such thing as a Jersey passport, which you were claiming there was

If Dyche is even thinking about Carroll, then it's time to go. He isn't even an option in my book.

[Pearcey]

Barnes out, Vydra has a hernia and Cornet at AFCON leaves us a bit desperate. I’m sure he’s looking at a quick short term replacement as well as a long term one.

[BurnleyFC]

The weird thing about Andy Carroll is that although I’m far from convinced he’d be a good signing for us, I also think he’d absolutely bully our defence on current form.

[Backofthenet]

We need a centre forward... Granted if Tuesdays game is postponed its not as desperate as it was yesterday , but a good centre forward won't be in the building till late Jan. Carroll would be a cheap option until someone better arrives, then a better sub to bring on than Barnes.

[warksclaret]

Surely the Wood transfer fee can now enable us to sound out our feeder club Stoke City for Tyrese Campbell. He is just the type of player we need particularly if we get relegated, and would almost certainly get significant game time now. If SD needs an honest opinion then surely Nathan Collins can update him, as could Sam Vokes or Stephen Ward.

The club needs to demonstrate they are not going down without a fight either by a statement from our Chairman or indeed through its proactivity in the transfer market

There is not a great deal anyone can do about COVID and the impact it has on fans and arrangements to travel or commit to tickets, but there are ways of arresting a decline in attendances and keeping the faith amongst fans during a very delicate and sensitive situation surrounding our club

[boyyanno]

We are literally in this situation because we've been kicking the recruitment can down the road for years. We need a new starting striker as we have just let our main one go, let's get one of those rather than another stop gap ffs.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Why can’t Andy Carrol do a job for us? He’s be free as his contract ends this weekend and he’s been playing well at Reading. A contract until the end of the season isn’t a risk. At the moment I’d put him on in front of Rodriguez or Vydra. That doesn’t mean he is a long term signing

[joey13]

Mines 3 years old and still valid , Jersey Passport

How many goals he scored in 3.5 seasons ?

[Stayingup]

Carrol signing would be a no loss situation for us. He wont cost a lot and we certainly aren't going to change our playing style mid season so why not?
Paired with Barnes our unblemished red card recent history might take a hit but so what if we stay up.

[warksclaret]

I would contact his agent and ask him to keep us updated about any offers made for him in the next two weeks but go hell for leather to get a proper long term striker in asap. If the recruitment guys had not already a short list, they need showing the door, with Barnes finished and Vydra carrying a hernia injury (we all know how long Barnes was sideline with his hernia op). THen god forbid we have no new striker in we take Carroll at the 12th hour

This is sensible. We could be going with Jay alone for most of the rest of the season. Caroll would be better than Jay alone. I will be a safety net of sorts. Even if we get one in late Jan I wouldn't rule it out as we are short anyway

[SalisburyClaret]

No harm in getting Carroll - we need a short term fix if JRod gets injured. Lennon is never going to be a threat in the air

[Spijed]

Assuming the Watford game still goes ahead what's the deadline to get a player registered in time?

[MACCA]

Assuming the Watford game still goes ahead what's the deadline to get a player registered in time?

It's usually 12:00 before the day of the game, although sky reported Wood had to be completed by Thursday 12:00 as there was a Premier league game week started on the Friday.

Not sure if that applies to rearranged or mid-week fixtures.

[LTUK89]

All you naysayers will be eating your words when Carroll’s sticking headers into the top bin from 30 yards.

[nyclaret]

Linked with John Buckley from those lot.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Be a good signing

[summitclaret]

How about Cole Palmer from City upfront?

[RVclaret]

How about Cole Palmer from City upfront?

Are you serious? Why would Pep send a promising youngster (who’s actually playing games and performing very well for them anyway) from a possession based passing team requiring fluid movement all over to a rigid defensive relegation fighting long ball team?

[IWOODLOVETT]

Joel Piroe is being watched.

[Burnley1989]

Linked with John Buckley from those lot.

Been at Blackburn his whole life, if he doesn’t have hatred for us ingrained in him there’s something wrong

[yosserhughes]

OK dermot

[AlargeClaret]

Considering we’ve been linked with almost everyone since Wood transfer I wouldn’t take the Carroll interest totally seriously . That said he’s a fairly cheap ( surely ?) stop gap that can’t be worse than Vydra and Barnes ,whose meaningfull career finished 2 yrs ago

[Firthy]

Because he would be blocking another potential signing by taking up a squad place. We need 2-3 signings a striker, RW and attacking midfielder as a minimum now Wood has gone. We have money available plus £25m from the sale of Wood. We've seen what happens with with an aged free transfer and a speculative £15m transfer with Crouch and Cornet. Surely 3 players in the £12-15m bracket isn't beyond us.

I still find it ubelievable that we sold Wood with Vydra, Barnes and Cornet being unavailable and not have a ready made replacement to bring in. I honestly would rather see us bring in a few promising younger players from the lower leagues and get relegated rather than another cheap has been and still get relegated.

[KefkaClaret]

Since Carroll will be such an excellent signing why don’t we also go get Phil Jagielka who’s available on a free. There’s literally no downside since that is the requirement for transfers apparently.

[Andingle]

Be a good signing

John Buckley , I like this lad , can play anywhere across midfield , good pace , tidy passer & a competitive attitude, likely cost about 10M in my opinion.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I’ve seen 15m banded about. A lot of money but he’s young enough.

Not sure I’ve seen enough to justify that fee. But as you say he’s a tidy footballer

[RVclaret]

Zero chance Blackburn sell to us when they chasing promotion and zero chance the lad wants to come to us after spending his whole life there

[Andingle]

Money talks and I don't think he will be on a fortune at Bburn to be fair.

Because we are ok for centre half’s at the minute

[DCWat]

Jordan continued to be sceptical about our takeover on Talk Sport today, the sale of Wood and link to Andy Carroll only served to fuel his negative view.

His view is that a sale to Newcastle is 20+ million in the bank straight away, rather than instalments - he reckoned only Man City, Chelsea and now Newcastle will do this. To him, it’s further evidence of no available funds.

[nyclaret]

Zero chance Blackburn sell to us when they chasing promotion and zero chance the lad wants to come to us after spending his whole life there

To be fair these moves do happen. Obviously can't see them selling to us but if he's not a Rovers fan, I don't see why he'd turn us down. Tom Barkhuizen is a Blackpool fan and came through the system there but has played for PNE since 2017. Money talks!

[KRBFC]

After this week, if we could get a 33 year old Costa and a 33 year old Carroll on a short term with a view, AND have 20m in the bank, I would literally **** myself to sleep as I know their experience would be enough. Plus, Mardy arse Woods gone and cash to spend in the summer!

You're seriously delusional if you think we'll stay up with Carroll, a guy who has scored 1 Championship goal all season.

[KRBFC]

This board never ceases to amaze me posters actually thinking Andy Carroll would be a good signing, dear god .

They wouldn't know football if it smacked them in the face, they're thinking of Carroll at Liverpool. They're totally brainwashed into this signing washed up old knackered players on the cheap method that doesn't work. There would genuinely be people claiming we should bring back Crouch off the sofa for a relegation fight if we got linked with him

I don’t think many are suggesting it’s a good move. More just realisation of the **** show of a position we are in.

[KRBFC]

Short term squad filler until the end of the season yes, long term future hell no

Squad filler?

We need first team starters to try and stay in the league not more squad fillers, this is our issue, always signing squad fillers, we have squad fillers.

The Dyche Way.

[ClaretMov]

What if he's got a Buyout clause in his contract and we trigger it like Newcastle did wirh Wood, we didn't want to sell him did we

[KRBFC]

If we sign him for nothing, on low wages, what does his resale value matter?

and how does this help us stay in the PL?

Are we just completely giving up?

We've just got £25m in, let's try and improve the team and stay in the league, what is this defeatist Andy Carroll talk.

[Silkyskills1]

Some posters had 3 or 4 players lined up to spend our windfall on. Still waiting for that activity to get underway. Any news?

[KRBFC]

Carrol signing would be a no loss situation for us. He wont cost a lot and we certainly aren't going to change our playing style mid season so why not?
Paired with Barnes our unblemished red card recent history might take a hit but so what if we stay up.

No Loss? what are you talking about? It would almost certainly mean relegation

[blake's wand]

We should probably just reach into that draw of premier league goal scorers that are available for under £25m and want to come to Burnley over everyone else. Not sure why we haven't looked in there before

[RicardoMontalban]

Calm yourself. Winding this back to my first comment on this, I said it would be ok as long as it wasn't the only player in.

The problems with the team run so much deeper than replacing Wood, who was a passenger anyway, and I'd say the midfield is in chronic need of upgrading and that has to have been the priority before the window opened. Losing Wood has complicated that without doubt.

If we signed Carroll and stuck at that, we're down in all likelihood, just as if we'd been able to keep hold of Wood and done nothing else. Carroll plus 2 Cornet quality players in midfield I could live with. Is that so unreasonable?

[gandhisflipflop]

I’ve heard that Vydras hernia is going to keep him out for the rest of the season which if true, means we need more than 1 striker in

[Vegas Claret]

No Loss? what are you talking about? It would almost certainly mean relegation

more so than hypothetically (had he not gone we would play him) continuing to play Wood up front with his 3 goals and no assists ? Whilst I think it would be a short term thing I would suggest Carroll would win an awful lot more in the air than Wood, and seeing as that's where we play our football.....
