January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[The Enclosure]

Orsic would be a fantastic signing.Fingers crossed.

[RicardoMontalban]

A good performance no doubt, but the rest of his stats don't exactly fill me with as much excitement. At 29 it feels like a bit of a throw of the dice.

We're currently 20th and it's the end of January. Maybe a bit of dice chucking is what we need.

[Lancasterclaret]

If this story had been about a transfer story breaking and us losing out on a player, this thread would be going mental

As it isn't, you can draw your own conclusions about quite a lot of the posters sadly

[claretonthecoast1882]

Over an hour for a negative response surely means sign him.

Done well there has Orsic normally get one within 5 minutes

[RVclaret]

A good performance no doubt, but the rest of his stats don't exactly fill me with as much excitement. At 29 it feels like a bit of a throw of the dice.

Europa League team of the year, full Croatian international (scored and assisted in Euro knockouts), 9 goals 5 assists in 31 appearances this season, creative but hard working winger… just trying to get you a bit excited.

Oh and he’s only just turned 29 a couple of weeks ago.

[Sleeping Cat]

We're currently 20th and it's the end of January. Maybe a bit of dice chucking is what we need.

I don't disagree. I just find it interesting, the comparison in the perception of potential signing. Hope he signs and does the business.

[KRBFC]

A good performance no doubt, but the rest of his stats don't exactly fill me with as much excitement. At 29 it feels like a bit of a throw of the dice.

He came off the bench in the Euros last 16 tie with Spain and changed the game, goal and assist, from 3-1 down to 3-3. Spain then won in Extra time

[RVclaret]

Yeah he was excellent in that game.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Probably is a little throw of the dice but right now we need one.

[Rowls]

Very excited about the prospect of signing this lad.

[jedi_master]

Newcastle make £7m bid for Orsic and triple Burnley’s salary offer to the Croatian.

(Joke Be honest, you wouldn’t be shocked would you?)

[KRBFC]

16 league goals last season from left wing

[Iloveyoubrady]

Similar to cornet in that he’s too good for us really. Think he can do well here, rapid and a great shot on him. Very good scoring record.

[RVclaret]

16 league goals last season from left wing

Yeah 24 goals and 9 assists in 51 appearances last season.

Has scored at West Ham this season too playing as a centre forward it seems.

Seems most of his time been on the left wing though so I wonder where he’ll play for us?

Ideally id like to see a new striker with Orsic left, McNeil CAM and Cornet right.

[Jakubs Tash]

Would be a good signing. Looks to move well with the ball (a bit like a Hazard or Podence). Can clearly go past opponents and has some good stats at a very good level. For the kind of money being talked about, this would be a great signing imo.

Yes, we do need to lower the average age but 29 is not old and we need players ready to play NOW. We showed on Sunday that we have good defensive players and plenty of grafters but we need a touch of class to compliment that.

Hopefully this will be the first of at least 3 incomings this week.

Fingers crossed.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Also suggests orsic is the winger we want, Lauriente the forward and we are currently struggling with centre mids but there is time.

McNeil, cornet, lauriente and orsic would be a pretty serious front line for a team in the bottom end of the prem or even championship.

[jedi_master]

Would assume this means we are not following up on Lauriente as I highly doubt we wanted two wingers.

Still need a centre forward for sure. We do need a central midfielder but the links (bar Fofana which seems pie in the sky) aren’t suggesting we are chasing one.

[Gordaleman]

There are plenty of critics of Pace on this board but he played a big part in bringing Cornet to the club, and now it looks like he is about to repeat the trick with Orsic.

Who's next I wonder?

Time to cut him a bit of slack I think.

[RVclaret]

Would assume this means we are not following up on Lauriente as I highly doubt we wanted two wingers.

Still need a centre forward for sure. We do need a central midfielder but the links (bar Fofana which seems pie in the sky) aren’t suggesting we are chasing one.

More of a CAM than CM but we’ve also been linked with Ramsey lately don’t forget.

[scouseclaret]

Similar to cornet in that he’s too good for us really. Think he can do well here, rapid and a great shot on him. Very good scoring record.

Well let's hope we carry on like this and end up with 11 players that are too good for us, then maybe we can start to deal with our inferiority complex.

[ClaretMov]

Wage won't be an issue, he's rumoured to be on 16k a week at the moment

[The Enclosure]

Has Tony started to write an article yet?

[Rowls]

Swoop swoop
oh baby
Swoop swoop

Here's an article adds the wonderful word "swoop" into the mix and uses different words to tell us everything you knew from reading this thread:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... Orsic.html

However, it might bring a smile to your face to know we're on the brink of signing this fella.

[Steddyman]

I’ll believe it if we can agree personal terms with the player. Until then, pie in the sky.

[Rowls]

There's a whole lot of "pie-in-the-skying" going on here. So here's a picture.

[MACCA]

Orsini would be a fantastic signing.

Add him to the 2 players we break our transfer record for, it will be ANOTHER absolutely fantastic transfer window by Alan snd his team.

( I still think they arrived 1 window too late to repair Mike's damage though, however at least he's making a fist of it )

[RVclaret]

I’ll believe it if we can agree personal terms with the player. Until then, pie in the sky.

For a deal to get this far there is likely already an understanding between agent/representives/player and the club as to what the terms are.

[dibraidio]

Looks like a player who can get you off your seat from the highlights on youtube.

Which is a massive contrast to the one I saw for Enes Unal. Made me laugh at how unimpressive this collection is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxyri1CcBX0

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a target man on Sean's wishlist even if we do sign Orsic.

[KRBFC]

Add him to the 2 players we break our transfer record for, it will be ANOTHER absolutely fantastic transfer window by Alan snd his team.

Don't forget the fantasy midfielder on loan. Ben said we're breaking our transfer record twice before Wood was sold too, must be spending some serious dosh in the next week.

[KRBFC]

Raul De Tomas would be a considerably better option than Unal, 12 goals in 21 games for De Tomas, battling relegation with Espanyol, £12M will do it. He started for Spain recently, very good link striker

[claret3561]

Is it to early to fire up the airplane tracker app

[ClaretAL]

All I will say is, as I did last January. There'll be surprises. Good surprises.
I have been not only bang on accurate with telling you this I've been astonishingly accurate but can tell you now. There will be signings and some of those are going to top Cornet's signing. Don't be surprised to see our transfer record broken a couple of times.
I'll leave it at that.
My information has proven itself to be bob on when most of you laughed it off.

Why people keep referring back to this post is beyond me, I think this post was the last time Ben posted on the board.

[Guller Bull]

What if he is right though???

[The Enclosure]

Is it to early to fire up the airplane tracker app

Never to early,go for it.

[Guller Bull]

Never to early,go for it.

Do you think they will stop to pick up the French signings on the way or will they come separately?

[Firthy]

Why people keep referring back to this post is beyond me, I think this post was the last time Ben posted on the board.

There's probably a good reason for it being his last post

[RVclaret]

Why people keep referring back to this post is beyond me, I think this post was the last time Ben posted on the board.

He posted more recently to say an exciting loan to buy holding midfielder had been made available and was someone who we’d all be very happy with, then said that’s all he can say and ran off again.

[tiger76]

Similar to cornet in that he’s too good for us really. Think he can do well here, rapid and a great shot on him. Very good scoring record.

Well we signed Cornet, so why not this lad? I only saw him in the Euro's, but he certainly made a major impact when he played, so let's hope we get this one over the line.

[Andreshotboots]

Can he do it on a Tuesday night in Stoke though, as he’ll have too at this rate

[MACCA]

Why people keep referring back to this post is beyond me, I think this post was the last time Ben posted on the board.

Because Ben said he has been "bang on", and "astonishingly accurate" in the past.

I'm sure either himself or other posters will be able to tell you when, and in regards as to what.

I personally can't think as to what he has been "astonishingly accurate" with , although it may have been on a thread I didn't read.

Suppose the next 6 days will determine whether he can be filed under the DanielJWaterhouse and RichardBFC category or if his word can be trusted/respected.

[Guller Bull]

At least he has been a voice of optimism in an Ocean of Despair

[claretblue]

Why people keep referring back to this post is beyond me, I think this post was the last time Ben posted on the board.

if he's correct - then why would he need to add to what he's already posted?

[KateR]

Have to say I know very little about him other that a couple of videos and the Spurs game, so am naturally skeptical when it comes to Burnley and transfers. However, I was exactly the same with Cornet and that worked out good so if these guys think he is the answer I am going to be hopeful this actually happens now and we don't have someone plucking him away at this late stage.

[SalisburyClaret]

Certainly looks like Orsic will give Dale Stephens some competition

[KateR]

If we get Orsic for 7 million and add that to Cornet so we get both for 20 million and yet sold Wood for 25 million would you call it fraud or praise the board/recruitment team?

[Mattster]

Raul De Tomas would be a considerably better option than Unal, 12 goals in 21 games for De Tomas, battling relegation with Espanyol, £12M will do it. He started for Spain recently, very good link striker

Quick Google shows he's currently being linked to Arsenal with a fee of £58.6m being quoted repeatedly. Interested to hear where you've seen £12m would do it.

[Rileybobs]

Suppose the next 6 days will determine whether he can be filed under the DanielJWaterhouse and RichardBFC category or if his word can be trusted/respected.

I don’t think we need 6 days to decide where to file that poster. From what I’ve heard he is a serial liar who gets satisfaction from fabricating rumours because gullible people on here believe him. I’ll leave it at that because my sources have told me not to say any thing else.

[Vegas Claret]

Newcastle seemingly asking about Webster from Brighton, maybe Tarks has said no

[Taffy on the wing]

There's a whole lot of "pie-in-the-skying" going on here. So here's a picture.

Uncle Monty!

[KRBFC]

You're quoting his release clause, which they will never get.
