January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[ervi34]

Mmm I didn't see the video so not sure on the content

It was him getting outside the car, entering the stadium etc. Something you would film when you buy a player or sort a contract extension.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Weghorst appears a good signing but is the bare minimum recruiting we needed to do.

Bottom of the league with 1 win all season means we need to actually add to the squad, not just replace one who went out. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Yep no further business is negligence

[MACCA]

Yep no further business is negligence

They'll be further business don't worry, hopefully a couple.

[Gordaleman]

1 down - now get the other 3 in

I like an optimist.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

The club is clearly damned either way in the eyes of some supporters this window

[tiger76]

1 down - now get the other 3 in

If you're expecting 3 in by tomorrow night you're dreaming, we might get 1 in besides WW, and I'd imagine that would be a CM.

[RVclaret]

Ryan Taylor: ‘Juventus still trying to offload Aaron Ramsey before deadline. Been offered around to Newcastle, Crystal Palace & others this month. Burnley stepped forward earlier in window but player wasn’t keen. They’re still pushing but any move would involve serious pay-cut.’

[GodIsADeeJay81]

A loan move shouldn't involve a pay cut.
We just pay a %, Juve make up the rest.

He was never ever gonna get £400k a week again anyway, he fluked that.

[Milltown1882]

Yep no further business is negligence

On paper with Weghorst we’re essentially where we were at the start of the window and the glaring gaps in the team remain. CM and winger surely need to happen.

[ksrclaret]

No. Just a recognition that we need more than 1 striker to replace Wood given our results and performances this season. Clearly the club agree and have been looking for more.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Yep, we have effectively done no business if we don’t bring anyone else in.

[Spijed]

Yep, we have effectively done no business if we don’t bring anyone else in.

I suppose it depends how you look at it. For whatever reason, Chris Wood was greatly out of form in the last few weeks and we've now brought in a striker who will certainly be motivated in the short term at least.

That could be seen as an improvement in that respect.

[Gordaleman]

Sounds much more promising.

Bild, Germanys’ best selling newspaper, now bring an update on the situation.

According to their report on Sunday evening, ‘everyone involved has reached a final agreement’, and the Dutchman will now become a Burnley player. There’s nothing left to be agreed, with transfer fee and personal terms all sorted.

The transfer fee is put at £12m, around €14.5m, and it’s stated a further €2m bonus will be payable to the Bundesliga club should Burnley avoid relegation to the Championship this season.

Bild explain there was a time when the Dutch striker imagined himself moving to one of the top six clubs in the Premier League, however, the chance never came and that’s seen him accept a move to Burnley.

[CrosspoolClarets]

All this talk about us needing to sign other players - lets remember our record with Cornet playing 60+ minutes. Basically very good. One win, hardly any defeats and a few unlucky draws. I’d like that CM or right winger but it isn’t vital. Replacing Wood was.

(I’d also suggest that if WW is an improvement he could bring other players into play in a way Wood didn’t)

[ClaretAL]

Yep no further business is negligence

Will you have a day off! There is nothing more the club could have done as has been explained to you over and over again. But if it makes you feel better keep pointing a finger like you support a top six club or billionaire owner, rather than live the life of a Clarets fan

So your saying in the entire football universe there is no one else the club could have possibly brought in.

Grow up and actually look at the reality of the shocking position we are in.

Why does it sound more promising? Apart from the money references it’s just as I posted this morning.

He's signed.

No promising needed.

We're onto the next one now

[Rileybobs]

Imagine being told to grown up by the most immature child on here.

I think swapping Wood for WW also at a financial profit is outstanding business but we absolutely need a right winger (and a CM tbh).

[ksrclaret]

Come on Macca, give us a clue. Just a teeny tiny clue. Another flag emoji would go down a treat.

[warksclaret]

I guess if we have only spent half-ish of the Wood money it technically allows us to compete in the loan market by being able to pay a high wage and any fees. I suspect at this late stage any other additions will be on loan

[Newcastleclaret93]

Imagine being told to grown up by the most immature child on here.

Haha ok whatever floats your boat.

Other posters said the exact same as me. But apparently I’m immature.

I mean, the only way that you’re not immature is if you’re actually seven years old.

[Dark Cloud]

Absolutely agree. Whilst not knocking or belittling AP's efforts to bring Weghorst in, he's essentially plugging the gap unexpectedly left by Wood's departure. So ultimately we won't have recruited where we most needed it or actually added to "the group" and that's worrying.

[Lancasterclaret]

Twitter is phenomenal if you follow the right people and it's fairly obvious who they are

This. This. This.

[RVclaret]

We absolutely need some more quality and guile in midfield. Whether it’s a CAM, CM or winger it’s a necessity to add here. We might have Cornet back which is great but his injury record so far suggests he might pick up another knock when these fixtures pile up. Plus having options off the bench/rotation will help significantly. How many points did we give away early season when teams made game changing subs and we couldn’t?

[warksclaret]

Suspect tomorrow will be frenzied for the faint hearted. Suspect it will go down to the wire with us

[Gordaleman]

Why does it sound more promising? Apart from the money references it’s just as I posted this morning.

Well for one thing, it says the extra £2 million is if we stay up, not if we go down as some were saying a few minutes ago.

If our survival is worth £2m to Wolfsburg it is in their best interests to lend us a couple more players!

[Gordaleman]

If he's as good as he's supposed to be, then why not?

[KRBFC]

Why so many posters here would rather argue with others and not talk about football?

Apparently we are where we are due to Garlicks lack of investment, Garlick had deals collapse at the final hour. Why are we making excuses for lack of investment now?

[Silkyskills1]

Imagine being told to grown up by the most immature child on here.

There are contenders.

[Goody1975]

I think swapping Wood for WW also at a financial profit is outstanding business but we absolutely need a right winger (and a CM tbh).

Agreed.

There's a phrase the 4x400m guys used when they beat the Americans in Tokyo in 1991.

"Give the man a chance to perform"

That surely has to be the case for Weghorst, if we aren't creating chances for him then he isn't going to score the goals for us to stay up, this was partly the case for Wood being so poor this season. If we can add another one or two players that can make a difference to the side we have every opportunity (with luck on the injuries and suspensions front) of getting out of this.

My concern is every time we have tried to be more expansive we are far more vulnerable to being hit on the break, so can't decide if a CM is the more pressing need or the RW.

Ideally both.

[HahaYeah]

Sounds much more promising.

Last turkey in the shop Clarets..

[LoveCurryPies]

Anyone know when WW medical will be?

[Goody1975]

Anyone know when WW medical will be?

I'd think he's had it today.

[NewClaret]

Anyone know when WW medical will be?

Done. Passed. Signed. Awaiting announcement.

[thomaspaine]

Grow up and actually look at the reality of the shocking position we are in.

It’s one thing being negative ….. that’s your prerogative ….. however you seem to imply that there is very little work going on behind the scenes , to bring new faces in . Either you have got your finger on the pulse/ inside knowledge or you are just guessing … I know which one my money is on .

[Gordaleman]

Anyone know when WW medical will be?

No, but if he needs less than two crutches and a zimmer frame, he'll have to do.

[Dark Cloud]

Suspect tomorrow will be frenzied for the faint hearted. Suspect it will go down to the wire with us

Also suspect the number of pages on this thread will double in just one day!!!

[Boss Hogg]

Just over 24 hours left to strengthen the team. I’m sure we’ve got some irons in the fire. Ending the window with no CM upgrade would be abject failure.

[ClaretAL]

Why so many posters here would rather argue with others and not talk about football?

Apparently we are where we are due to Garlicks lack of investment, Garlick had deals collapse at the final hour. Why are we making excuses for lack of investment now?

Is it lack of investment? Deal was done with the club a player but before the medical could happen to sign on the dotted line he decided not to. Pace travelled out to try and convince him. I'm nit sure what more we can do. As fir attracting players, we are in let's say a precarious position to do that, hence not a queue of agents trying offload players on to us. I 100% believe the club are doing all they can

[Dark Cloud]

Anyone know when WW medical will be?

Apparently the new regime sacked the doctor along with all the other "superfluous" staff and Alan has added that to his increasing list of hats he wears at the club. He's pencilled it in for Tuesday morning at 9.00.......

[Lancasterclaret]

I'm really struggling here

Did a certain poster who spends his entire time arguing with other posters just tell everyone else off for arguing with other posters?

Think so.

Searching his name earlier for an update I came across an article from last May when he was linked with West Ham for £27 million. However he did an interview stating he would only leave Wolfsburg for Champions League football, I am glad he has changed his mind about that.

[Guller Bull]

Strange times (but exciting)

[Bigvince]

Done. Passed. Signed. Awaiting announcement.

Everything signed, where’s that info come from?

No I am suggesting that our recruitment team have failed again if they don’t bring anymore players in
