January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[ClaretMov]

Can you share then please, because I’m not privy to how the club do business.

Not being rude but where have you been for the last 5 or 6 year's.......OPEN YOUR EYES

[welsbyswife]

No idea how we actually deal with parties in negotiations but either way the results have been very poor for the past few years. Cornet was a nice change but we really need to follow that up. What we have isn't enough. Would be a shame to go down with a whimper.

[Pearcey]

That’s the last board and again I didn’t know how they did business.

Other than transfers I thought they were fantastic. Our club is now on another level thanks to them.

[ClaretMov]

He's the reason we're going down if we sell him or not.

He's not the single reason but part of a massive reason why we are struggling this season, lack of investment over the last eight or so transfer windows, not strenthing the squad when we finished 7th and played in the Europa that was a perfect time to do it when we were a little more attractive than we are right now

[clarethomer]

Have you considered these few factors before?

1. We don’t have the finances to put in large bids that get accepted so quickly (we aren’t going to overpay for a Chris wood at £25m just to trigger a release clause for example)
2. It’s January, clubs don’t want to lose players, if they do then they want replacements in themselves
3. Even if we do get bids accepted, we probably aren’t players first choice so they might leave it until late on themselves to see what other options there are.

It seems pretty obvious, does it not?

I genuinely don't believe any of us actually understand the full complexities - all good logical points though.

I'm pretty sure there will be more though;

- Agents fee considerations and wanting to work with the agent and vice versa
- Understanding the players on and off the field
- Work permits etc with some players.

I am also sure (despite what we think is happening) is that all of the things that go on will be happening with several players at any one point.

You also then need to consider that we also probably have players interested but may be not a priority and have to balance our cashflow so that young prospect that could not be a starter is someone we could get in quickly but to do that means we can't finance someone else we are looking at.

I think using a club for leverage probably happens more often than we ever hear/see so I can understand why it takes a lot of effort and time to do these things

[MACCA]

Let's just give in then ...you clown

Who said give in?...

You clown

[ClaretMov]

The Ramsey deal is another load of bull made up by the media, he's unfit, not played for six month's so won't be ready for weeks, ontop of that are a loan fee and his wage of 400k a week we wouldn't pay him 60k so are Juventus going to pay the rest, fake news move on

[ClaretMov]

More chance of signing this Ramsey

[BabylonClaret]

He'd certainly be a character for the dressing room.

[Pearcey]

Come on then Claretmov, take me (in detail) through Burnley’s transfer business process. I’m desperate to know.

[warksclaret]

If you want to stay in the PL then you need to be able to operate on par with the other 19 clubs in the the way you plan and conduct your transfer dealings. I think the word "savvy" comes to mind.Lot of posters telling us about all the factors that go against poor old club like ours, but I am afraid its par for the course.

Better hair transplant than Ashley.

[NewClaret]

Only 6 clubs have signed anyone, and of those I’m not sure there’s many I’d want us to have signed. Trippier & Coutinho & Digne aside.

[Papabendi]

I'd take Wood

He ain't the only reason no most of that is down to dyche.

Notice how the clubs who have signed the most are in the same mess as us? They didn’t have a problem persuading players to come to them.

[Guller Bull]

I'd take Wood

Steady!

[Lancasterclaret]

99.9% of the way we deal in the transfer window is embarrassing

Thing is, if you were an agent, or someone like that, people would go "Crikey, it is"

As you are just someone who posts on here to moan, people go "Oh ffs"

[Pearcey]

Notice how the clubs who have signed the most are in the same mess as us? They didn’t have a problem persuading players to come to them.

Newcastle and Watford can’t really be compared to us can they. They throw money about for fun. Norwich, Leeds, Brentford have done nothing. Most clubs have done nothing. There must be a reason for that. There’s still time and I’m confident we’ll do business.

[tiger76]

Only 6 clubs have signed anyone, and of those I’m not sure there’s many I’d want us to have signed. Trippier & Coutinho & Digne aside.

Yes but most of those clubs aren't in dire need of reinforcements and in danger of being cut adrift at the foot of the table are they.

Big week for Pace to deliver the goods, otherwise we might as well have left MG in charge, at least then we wouldn't have the debt mountain.

[Lancasterclaret]

Course, posting that without any context is easy

Now if you add the rather crucial bits, then its a bit easier to see why we haven't and they have

Newcastle - surely to god you all know that they are backed by a state with billions of pounds and no better idea of what to do with it than buy a club in the NE of England because all the better ones were taken

Watford - owned by a family own a few football clubs, and somehow manage to sign players between them all whenever one of them is in trouble. Its almost like its as bent as it could possibly be, but it can't be that can it?

Suddenly our transfer market activity and what we are up against becomes slightly more realistic doesn't it?

[wilks_bfc]

Also re Carroll he scored 1 goal in a struggling Championship team and his erratic disciplinary record makes poor reading.

Erratic disciplinary record?
He’s been sent off twice in his career

[minnieclaret]

As today is our last match before the window closes and is not a game we are expected to win there is no rush. Signings before deadline are essential.

[Vegas Claret]

the level of flapping on display is reaching epic proportions

[Pearcey]

It’s the same for every window.

[Boss Hogg]

As we don’t beat the teams in and around us we shouldn’t be expected to beat other teams either. They are all free hits

[NewClaret]

I don’t get the cut adrift argument. All teams have play each other home and away and have the same opportunity to score points. Until the end of the season the league table is transitionary and doesn’t really matter. Plus, this will only be our second game since the window opened (the other being on the second day) so any incomings have only had two chances to make an impact on our current league position.

Hard to disagree with the last paragraph though mate.

Just been given an emergency order by Mr Pace, 3 ink cartridge rolls for BFC fax machine

[Steddyman]

Maybe we need to go down this year to attract players. Got to be more enticing signing for a team pushing for promotion than one almost certain for relegation?

[joey13]

It’s the same for every window.

Yes because past windows have always worked out well

[FulledgeClaret]

I'm not so sure we will be pushing for promotion from the Championship next season were we to go down.

[RicardoMontalban]

I'm not so sure we will be pushing for promotion from the Championship next season were we to go down.

Surely that’s the point of any squad rebuild. If we go down it’ll be a radically different side next year anyway.

[Braindead]

I hope all those suggesting Tarkowski should be dropped watched today's game. Whatever you think of him, he will be a massive loss to this club imo.

A leader.

[Shaggy]

He played very well it has to be said. As did the whole team

[Goody1975]

Over to you Alan.

If we can defend like that for the rest of the season and add a bit of quality in the forward areas we can definitely stay up, especially with three points in our next game.

[ClaretMov]

Come on then Claretmov, take me (in detail) through Burnley’s transfer business process. I’m desperate to know.

If you can't see it, what's the point in explaining it to you

[Vegas Claret]

agree 100%

[Pearcey]

Because you don’t know what it is. You just want an excuse to have a dig at the club

[ClaretMov]

Okay sorry you're right our transfer business has been fantastic and make Burnley fan's full of pride and the envy of all other clubs and supporters, how did I not realise this, silly me I must stop having a dig at the club

[Taffy on the wing]

He's the reason we're going down if we sell him or not.

How do you feel about that statement now?

[CFS]

How do you feel about that statement now?

The same?

[ClaretAL]

I see Dyche stated that there are people in the background trying to align situation when commenting on the transfer question. Nothing much he could say really...

[Goody1975]

French league player links - This weekend.

Seko Fofana played 90 minutes in the 2-0 home defeat to Marseille

Angelo Fulgini played 90 minutes in the 2-1 home win against Troyes
Ludovic Ajorque played 90 minutes in the 4-3 away defeat at Bordeaux
Serhou Guirassy was an unused sub as Rennes lost 2-1 away at Clermont Foot

He's paid to be doing it every game, not 1 in every 6 or so, been a liability for most of the season.

Wish we could add Mohamed Bayo to that list. Not that my knowledge of Ligue 1 players extends beyond YouTube videos, but he looks decent, only 23, good goal record, very powerful & loves a tap in - we need a poacher like that.

[Lancasterclaret]

Well, it is all you appear to do

There is a balance between recognising that we could have been more proactive in the transfer market, and abandoning all sense of reality and sounding like someone who thinks football manager is how it works, and I don't think its unfair to say that you've not reached that balance yet

[Nonayforever]

One midfielder that I wouldn't mind being given a chance to shine is Dele Ali from Spurs.

Seems Alli will be off to Newcastle
