January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Newcastleclaret93]

Like he said…..

Fair comment, however he will offer us something completely different.

He looks quick, direct and physical. If we can play to his strengths like we did Gray in the championship it will be a good signing.

[bobinho]

Agree with that. Direct and physical are attributes SD likes in his forward players, maybe summat in this.

[jedi_master]

Take Guirassy as a loan, we have no pace up front. Worth a gamble and wouldn’t be someone we’re lumbered with if we drop.

I think it sounds like a perm signing? I know original links showed a loan but it sounds like a perm deal to me

[Conroy92]

Andy Jones just about keeping my dwindling hopes alive, damn him

I like the fact Fofana is still a target but I feel if we wait till the summer it will be all over. Still, the fact it's gone relatively quiet about him for a week or two gives me a little hope we are working behind the scenes to get this one done!

[DCWat]

“CM & WM wanted. Fofana likely to be summer target. Highly rated
Orsic could be if no deal in this window.”

So the two linked as targets could now be summer targets? The Forfana one looks fanciful in this window, never mind the summer window when far more will be looking and offering.

[Iloveyoubrady]

We’ve had a lot of good links to be fair. Guirrassy has obviously done well before and he’s big and strong, looks to hold the ball up a lot better than Wood anyway. Azmoun looks class, looks a complete striker. Fofana as well, looks a very good box to box. Orsic has a great scoring record. I like the look of azmoun and fofana the most personally.

Yeah Azmoun + Orsic then a centre mid on loan would be unreal. Cornet returning too, I’d be confident of stopping up. But sounds like the first two mentioned there are more on the unlikely end of the scale…

[arise_sir_charge]

Yes, Amzoun and Fofana would be my choices I think and Orisic but I think the first two are least likely.

Just feel that the Guirassy and Orisic links have more chance of being done.

A midfielder on top of those two would be great.

[KRBFC]

I'd be amazed if we got Azmoun, would be a bigger coup than Cornet.

Orsic would be a top signing too but he's an attacking winger, convert to central role?

Fofana is obviously the dream but that was never gonna happen.

I have no idea about Guirrassy.

2 or 3 of those and a central midfielder on loan and we survive comfortably no question

[ClaretMov]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before I cba to look through all this lot on here but Armand Lauriente is linked, he's a right sided winger

[Jakubclaret]

If we survive no problem who are we pulling in besides Norwich & Watford or are you saying by then we will have a stronger squad than Newcastle like for like bearing in mind they haven’t finished strengthening?

[ClaretMov]

[RVclaret]

Looks quite a quick, direct winger does Lauriente.

[Burnley Ace]

Jealousy will get us nowhere, show some class if the boot was on the other foot we’d be throwing money at it.

There’s throwing money at some targets that you have been planning for and then there’s desperately throwing money at a player that you have previously rejected because you aren’t getting any players in!

[KRBFC]

We will finish on more points than Norwich, Watford and Newcastle.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Apparently Fabrizio has said we are in for him on twitch

[tiger76]

We will finish on more points than Norwich, Watford and Newcastle.

Possible and you could also add Everton to that list, for all the panic merchants it's worth remembering we've got lots of games in hand on those immediately above us, and it's difficult not to see us picking up some points out of those matches.

We've only won 1 game that's true, but we've only lost 8 in 17, and our defeats are mainly to the big boys, so sort out our form against the lesser sides, and crucially turn those draws into wins, and we've got every chance, as none of those 4 sides are massively superior to us, it's just a case of getting a win on the board, then hopefully we'll embark on a run again.

[claretandbluesky]

If we continue to play 4-4-2 we’re down. SD now needs to be innovative.
Will be surprised to see us do much in the transfer market, perhaps a loan or two.

[claretandy]

In for who ?

[RVclaret]

In for who ?

Lauriente

[minnieclaret]

Once some of the guys have finished wiping their thighs with tissue over the names linked remember they need to play to their youtube levels to improve us. No saying they will be anywhere near that level moving to a new country with a different style of football.
I pray they all sign and are better than Cornet but I fear we are not that lucky.

Lauriente

Wouldn’t say Leeds & Newcastle & Brighton are the “big boys” we have drawn the game against norwich & yet to play the other teams around us, it’s only to be expected we will lose against the bigger sides but we aren’t really doing that well against the smaller sides, the games in hand are the only positive & that’s on the proviso we actually do something with them.

I did say mainly to the big boys, and Brighton are doing well this season as well, the damaging defeats were at Leeds and Newcastle, and drawing games against the mid-table sides that we should have won, obviously we aren't faring well against the smaller sides, and if we don't quickly remedy that then we will deserve to go down, however there's still lots of footy to be played yet, and Norwich have illustrated just what putting back-to-back wins together can do to any teams hopes.

Hopefully we can scrape survival but not really surprising some supporters think we are likely to go down. Indeed, I think you recently said quite definitively we'd be relegated presumably in a bit of a panic, which of course was understandable.

[NewClaret]

Lauriente

Just watched a “welcome to AC Milan” video. Looks very direct and right-footed, which is what I’ve been crying out for.

Some sloppy buildup play & the editor cut out every cross so hard to know what his delivery is like (I can only assume not so good). Unsure on this one.

[NewClaret]

Azmoun dropped from the Zenit squad for a friendly today (some talk of being injured).

Campbell also on the bench again for Stoke.

[Hedontplayforyou]

He can hit a free kick by the looks of it Lauriente. One absolutely ridiculous one from miles out . Pacey and a good age but what’s he like , probably never know unless we bring him to the Turf .

Azmoun is highly unlikely given who he has been linked with but IF it’s true that we’ve made a formal bid then you’d assume that we’ve made contact with his agent to find out his willingness to join.

[Culmclaret]

Assume nothing when it comes to BFC transfer dealings……..

[LawsCanalJump]

Azmoun signs for Leverkusen

[Lancasterclaret]

Azmoun signs for Leverkusen

https://twitter.com/bayer04_en/status/1 ... 7333112834

Yup

[NewClaret]

Ffs!

[Culmclaret]

Did anyone really think we would sign Azmoun….seriously?

[Taffy on the wing]

Wow ......something else for folk to moan about!

Why didn't we offer more? etc etc

[Burnley Ace]

Come on Burnley or BL - irrespective of where we are in the league he wasn’t coming here

[RVclaret]

Did anyone really think we would sign Azmoun….seriously?

I mean if we are bidding you’d think there’s a reason.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I mean if we are bidding you’d think there’s a reason.

I would be surprised if we were ever interested.

More than likely just paper talk

Was reported by 4/5 reliable outlets tbf

[Lancasterclaret]

He's signed for the start of next season, which does rather suggest that he's been planning to move when out of contract rather than be sold in this window

We almost certainly made an offer I suspect, and Zenit would encourage such offers, but it is up to the player, and its is what it is

[Newcastleclaret93]

Was reported by 4/5 reliable outlets tbf

He followed Leverkusen on Instagram 6 days ago. Before our supposed bid.

[BuryClaret]

Burnley or Bauer Leverkusen? One clear winner there.

Next….

[Vegas Claret]

anyone else gutted that Pace and Co weren't in charge when we finished 7th, we sure as **** wouldn't be facing relegation now

Yes there doing a class job

[Culmclaret]

Sadly, I suspect that AP will be concentrating more on his exit strategy than bringing new players in now

[RVclaret]

Yes there doing a class job

I know you’re anti Pace for whatever reason but he’s got a point. We would have done far better recruitment from that point on, it was a really great chance to attract good players with European football on offer.

[Safron]

Expect nothing then you wont be disappointed when we sign nothing

That's fair enough but that was well known and I was kind of hoping if we bid knowung that then there was a fair chance we might turn his head. Makes me wonder if this was just bullshit smokescreen all along (or simply desperation)

[Culmclaret]

Completely agree. That was the watershed moment. As Jermaine Defoe popped the ball into our net the end of our last game of 2017/18, I thought to myself that this was our real opportunity to build something sustainable exciting, by attracting good young players to the club. For whatever reason we just let that opportunity slip
