January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Shaggy]

We’ve made the 100 pages without a signing. I was only half joking at the suggestion 20 odd pages ago.

[ClaretMov]

Of course I'm concerned but that doesn't mean I go around spreading unproven hearsay and blaming the club, when it's clear that Burnley and Alan Pace in particular, tried very hard to get it over the line.

How do you know this, being linked with this player was media stories, the player not coming media stories again, nothing official from the club, so it's not clear at all.

[Gordaleman]

I do not care about nearly signings and excuses(we've all heard before), to date we've sold our main striker for £25m and have 1 potential incoming likely. If only fans making excuses gave us league points, we'd be fighting top 4.

I went to bed excited and guess what, it's the same old same old, we've seen it all before.

"I went to bed excited."

I hope you didn't soil the duvet.

[ksrclaret]

Today is the reason I didn’t allow myself to get excited by Orsic or even watch the clips about him . Whilst I fully understand that transfers are a difficult thing to complete due to the different variables involved (non more so than humans). It seems / feels that this happens a lot to our club. Maybe it’s more common than I realise (I’m sure it is) but as Burnley fan it really is frustrating and disheartening. It feels an almost regular occurrence.

The facts are as it stands the team bottom of the league is a lot weaker than it was at the start of the transfer window. In my opinion we needed a minimum of 2 midfielders and 1 striker prior to Wood leaving to have a fighting chance of staying up. Instead with a little over 2 days left we have gained non and lost 1.

Sums up my feelings perfectly

[Lancasterclaret]

And you'd be happy if you heard exactly the same from the club?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When we sign someone there will be another 5000 posts.....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Where have I posted I'd be happy

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[KateR]

just need to move and find more rumours for discussion, we've a new one in AP staying over and not long to add to that while we wait for the final outcome of WW arrival, or not.

Orsic done and dusted for me, moved on and looking for the next one, it seemed close and exciting but as we all know, without the signed contract & announcement it isn't done at all.

[Lancasterclaret]

Where have I posted I'd be happy

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Never on here that is for sure

You are certainly one of the more glass half full contributors

The club are not going to comment on a player we haven't signed

[NewClaret]

Will Lancaster on twitter reckons Orsic turned us down because of the worry he wouldn’t fit the 4-4-2 role and doesn’t care about money. Not buying that.

Not sure I’d want a winger unwilling or lacking confidence playing in a 4-4-2 either.

[ClaretMov]

Exactly the point I'm making the post was saying its clear The club and Pace tried to get the deal done, there is no proof at all.....its media stories

If we get Weghorst why would we need another striker when we have Cornet as well? Wasn't that the point of signing Orsic?

[Jakubclaret]

Because cornet isn’t a out & out striker despite providing goals, take away wood & orsic & theoretically include weghorst you are 1 striker down, 2 strikers were targeted as additions not 1 as a fallback plan wouldn’t be so bad if the other 3 current weren’t partly injured or chipping in.

[Vegas Claret]

well that's surprising and disappointing news to wake up to

[Colburn_Claret]

With Weghorst and Cornet, as said, we don't need another striker, we need someone to supply the chances.
Orsic sounded ideal, but it's not to be. JBG isn't up to it anymore, not his fault, just the combination of his age, and that long run of injuries he had, have taken their toll. Lennon could do a job as back up, but we need someone more dynamic, and more consistent, if we are going to improve our chances of survival. We also need that quality midfielder.
I've no gripe with AP, he's been unlucky, but we need him to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

[ElectroClaret]

The Weghorst deal isn't done and dusted yet, so it makes sense to still look for another one in case that goes tits up too.

[Lancasterclaret]

Please don't make me dig out any of your negative posts Mr positive

Well, it would be a lot harder for me to find a positive post from yourself mate

Why don't you just take a break with the negativity for a bit?

A glimmer of hope with 2 fresh exciting attacking signings and in one swoop, all hope is lost in usual Burnley fashion. Disheartening indeed, I was really confident after selling Wood too. We've still got 2 days but looks a lost cause at this point. Oh well

No we still needed two strikers even supposing we get Weghorst as what would be the plan if w=he got injured. I thought it was generally agreed we needed a striker before we sold Wood and after selling him we need two.

[Taffy on the wing]

Was just going to post the same.........bugger!

[NewClaret]

Be glad you were asleep for it pal!

Frustrating times.

[Elizabeth]

Weghorst’s signing confirmed Monday morning at the latest and we’ve got an exciting Monday afternoon and night to look forward to in anticipation of a second signing.
I don’t know about you but I love the transfer window!
Even if we don’t get that second signing the boys will give everything to keep us up and Dyche is a good manager!

[Spijed]

Can a club like ours ever afford to have a player on the bench if another plays well enough and doesn't get injured?

The same happened with Gibson and some then complained he was a bad signing.

Can't have it both ways.

Why are you talking about 2 strikers when Orsic is a wide player?

[thelaughingclaret]

I have got a bad feeling that Weghorst will fall through too. Taking a long time to get it done. Players use Burnley as an excuse to get more money out of their current club. Been happening for years and we still haven’t learnt any lessons from it!
We need to stop going after players all month who have no real intention of coming here.

You make it sound like Weghorst isn't signing in addition to Orsic.

[warksclaret]

For fans more so "in the know", assuming Weghorst is still happening are there any players we could be targeting (other than Ramsay,) now we only have two more days

[KRBFC]

Did you miss the news?

[Spijed]

Then with Cornet playing alongside Weghorst we wouldn't need an additional striker would we?

Who said anything about the second striker being on the bench. In case you had forgotten Vydra needs an operation, Barnes only just getting back from injury and JayRod not firing on all cylinders and no Wood. Cornet scoring but not really a striker. We need two strikers and two midfielders one of whom might be a wide player.

Weghorst is NOT taking a long time to get done. We’ve lost one player this morning who did have a real intention to sign and Weghorst very much has an intention to sign.

[KRBFC]

Orsic is a wide player, we need a wide player.

No one is "in the know"

Some of us can pick up the transfer stories from journos etc on twitter etc, but that is about it

Over to you BenWickes. Or the long lost oracle danieljwaterhouse.

[mkmel]

What about Ben Wickes' 2 record breaking signings that he told us were nailed on?

There's no chance we'll sign 4 in this window, if that's what you're expecting you're bound to be disappointed.

A striker to replace Wood is essential, CM would be nice, but we can possibly get by with what we've presently got, and a RW should be a priority now the Orsic deal has collapsed.

Realistically we'll get WW in, and perhaps a CM on loan, but I'll be if we get more than that.

[ClaretTony]

Weghorst is still happening and I’m not aware of anything holding it up providing he gets through the imminent medical.

I believe there are other targets. Whether we can get any of them over the line is a different story.

[KRBFC]

What about Ben Wickes' 2 record breaking signings that he told us were nailed on?

That was before we sold Wood too!!

[Mala591]

We have McNeil as our left side midfield/winger, we need a RIGHT sided midfield/winger. Can someone please inform Pace and Dyche.

I’ll be gob smacked if we signed four. I’d be very, very surprised if we signed three. I’m currently expecting one and hoping for two.

If that were true, which it probably isn't, what do you think we can do about it?

[RVclaret]

Really really poor if we only get Weghorst. In fact it’s gross negligence.

[ClaretTony]

I think the problem he has is expecting a deal to be completed the minute he hears we’ve been linked with a player.

[ClaretTony]

Why would it be gross negligence when we’ve clearly worked hard to bring in quality players?

[Norfolk Claret]

If we don’t sign 2-3 players to walk into the starting 11 then I’m afraid there’s only one place we’re heading.
