January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[SalisburyClaret]

Wow just seen Dan Burn to Newcastle for £13m. Brighton have had Newcastles pants down with that one. I am not convinced Howe knows what he's doing which is good for us.

He's a decent player. That will definitely strengthen them at the back.

Pace not given up on Orsic yet ?

Extremely unlikely but you never know, maybe it was all about him playing today.

Pretty sure that page just makes stuff up

You're right. No Croatian paper mentioned Lovric and Burnley in the same sentence. And Dinamo have literally said that Orsic is staying with them. We won't get him this month.

[Stayingup]

Whenever I hear the name Nixon, I always think of David Nixon. Does anyone else remember him? He was always pulling rabbits out of hats.

Or Richard Nixon 37th president of USA whose good work was sadly tarnished with the Watergate Scandal.

[Volvoclaret]

That’s a name to conjure with.

Can't be the same Nixon. David had only one hat whereas someone's already posted that the journalist is a two hater.
BTW Ali Bongo was the husband of Victoria Wood.

That was The Great Soprendo.

[blsclaret]

Sorry, not rumour related, but Victoria Wood was once married to The Great Soprendo, Geoffrey Durham (sad old me)

[TheFamilyCat]

I think this thread has finally lost its way.

[CoolClaret]

Petition to only allow this thread to start in the last 3/4 days of the January window please!

[Volvoclaret]

That was The Great Soprendo.

My bad got my bongos mixed up with my Soprendos, not for the first time might I add , it's an age thing.

[LaLigaClaret]

With all the references to David Nixon on here I just wish someone would say the magic words " Transfer of Wout Weghorst to Burnley" completed.

[HahaYeah]

Quite ironic that Victoria Wood made The Great Soprendo 'disappear' from her will.

[Spijed]

They looked pretty solid against us and Leeds to be fair?

And they only won both games because of goalkeeper errors. The only two games they've won under Howe.

[HahaYeah]

Still being reported that the WW deal is not progressing.

Hence we are in for Origi.

If you took the time to read them you will see they both reference the Sun as their source. It’s been made clear on here the Sun was wrong.

[HahaYeah]

Right. Both referencing a story from yesterday.

[Jakubclaret]

After what happened with orsic & reading that you could easily be forgiven for having doubts.

Not at all, they are doing no more than following Nixon.

Just be patient

[elwaclaret]

I'm not. We're now half way through the most critical 48 hours in our whole season (and possibly our entire PL life) and the first half of those hours has gone very badly it seems. We'll have to pull some very big rabbits out of the hat to turn this around. I WAS very, very upbeat on Friday night and now I'm anything but unfortunately. "We go with what we have", I can almost hear SDs words on Tuesday morning already and yet he'll know that what we have is actually less than what we started January with and even then it wasn't enough.

I fully understand your position, but while the situation with a couple of signing is seemingly not where we wanted it to be by now; we really have heard nothing to say that the noises are not other teams ‘death throws,’ trying to encourage other clubs to create a bidding war… the Croatian situation for example could all change once the home game is out of the way, or other players could still be under the media radar…

Too soon to write off incomings, and much too soon to write off our season… whatever the result of the window, it will be a blow and not the boost we are hoping for, but at the end of the day, the team looked really together and ready for the fight against Arsenal. I am still hopeful, even confident we will pull up a few trees in the second half of the season and fight our way to safety, but it would be more difficult without additions, not impossible.

[KRBFC]

We're gonna sign Weghorst and 2 more Tomorrow and stay up, lets see if my positive approach works.

[KRBFC]

Even Weghorst and a right winger will put us bang in with a good chance of survival

[tally]

Dutch football zone over here reporting terms agreed for WW 15 Million including bonuses.
Weghorst has agreed personal terms,

[AshevilleNCClaret]

Extremely unlikely but you never know, maybe it was all about him playing today.

What strikes me the most odd about the Orsic situation is that everything seems to be coming from the club and not from the player. You would think he would put on social media that he is staying or leaving, but instead its the club making all of the announcements.
my guess is that he was geninunely interested, we made some offers, but decided to stay put.

[ClaretTony]

He’s having his medical and that doesn’t happen until everything is agreed.

[RVclaret]

A Liverpool ‘social media influencer (YouTuber) with 45k followers on twitter reckons we’ve had a bid rejected for Origi. Likely rubbish but it’s a rumour.

[ClaretAL]

Things looking highly likely, fingers x. If ot does go through, and I know people crying out out for more, but if we can get Cornet playing on the right and Mcneil attacking again on the left with WW and Jay up top, there has got to be goals in that

[tarkys_ears]

Jay up top is not the answer to anything other than "what should we absolutely not do"

[nyclaret]

I just hope WW is starting alongside Cornet against Watford.

[ClaretAL]

I think Cornet replacing JBG is a lesser eve than replacing Jay, and we don't have another fit forward, and I don't see Dyche moving away from 442

What did you do with the real KRBFC?

[MACCA]

What 5 emoji's?

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not

I thought I'd contributed a well balanced thought out post at least once before.

[thelaughingclaret]

I just hope that we also have a CM lined up. For me CM has always been priority

[alwaysaclaret]

Hypothetically
If we didn’t sign WW
and we now gave Newcastle £50 million for Trippier Wood & Burn would we be any more likely to stay up

I'd have to say no, given trippiers age and at the stage of he's career, Woods lack of passion to get out of the relegation mire, and the fact we don't know an awful lot about burn or he's ability in a relegation threatened side, I'd very much doubt we'd be in any better position, so consequently you'd have to think the same for Newcastle, and re your post further back I also can't see what type of side howe is trying to assemble, I've concluded at the moment he's just trying to sign anybody and everybody in the hope he'll be able to piece something together, still the only threat I see they have is St maximum.

[jojomk1]

Looks like Joe Rothwell wants out of B******* and Cantwell from Norwich is on his way out of Carrow Road.
Wouldn’t mind either of these two or even both!!!

Cantwell to Bournemouth on loan seems likely

Although expect Newcastle to come in with last minute bid

[Pickles]

Nixon - "Hoping for a Ramsey change of heart … have a Prem loan midfielder alternative"

[Vegas Claret]

Howe could sign Bonucci and Chiellini and play a system to make them look bad. Hopefully his woeful defensive organisation will carry on till the end of the season.

Howe spent time at Atletico Madrid with Diego Simeone during his time away from the game. I doubt he picked up nothing

[jojomk1]

Agree but don't hold out that much hope

The major weak position for which we seem to have no interest (and yes I don't include Ramsey)

[Long Time Lurker]

As a side note the striker I said would be a good fit is moving to Brighton.

7m for Undav.

Undav would have been unlikely for us. The major shareholder of Union Saint Gilloise is Tony Bloom, the owner of Brighton.

It is just one more instance of an individual or organisations passing players between the clubs they own. In any other arena the words " conflict of interest " might arise. Owning more than one club and operating them as an interdependent entity grants numerous benefits - like moving players on with no fuss, making adjustments to the wage bill to meet FFP requirements, offloading a player ( while keeping them on the books ) and making WP issues a simple tick a box issue. The latter gives all of these PL clubs the ability to shop in any league, while clubs without a partner are restricted to the top tier clubs with their top tier prices.

In the interest of ensuring healthy and fair competition something should be done, but it won't be because the majority of PL clubs now enjoy such partnerships.

I agree. I don’t have much hope. Only one day left and it feels as though we have put all our eggs in the Ramsey basket

Analysis Spock

MCOY:

God dam it Jim, I'm A footy fan not a scout

Spock: It's the future Jim, Orsic and Wout Weghurst should have signed for Burnley by now, failure to do so risks all our survival.

Kirk: Shields up Scotty

Scotty: Shields non responsive Captain, they cannot take the abuse from the fans anymore

Kirk: 000destruct0

Nixon just tweeted, we are signing Kobayashi Maru

Alternative has to be Barkley surely. Think I’d take him over Ramsey.
