Summer 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[claretandy]

If he's going for a medical then that will be it

Nixon defo hinting that he's using both clubs to up his wages (which is fair enough btw)

It won't be the first time that a player has pulled out of a medical.

[Smile]

Does not make sense

Certainly strange.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Nixon hinting in other tweets that Wallace hasn’t turned his back on Burnley yet, trying to get the best deal possible. We’ll see.

[Nori1958]

Had this from someone very well connected at Don's

In between Harry Darlings medical and him signing for Swansea Vincent Kompany called him personally and offered him a contract. Burnley money was way off Swansea so he went there.

Believe or disbelieve just passing it on .....

Disbelieve if that's ok

[Smile]

How confusing. You read something on here about a transfer source, then go across to the one thread with no financial discussion and different updates are given.

Whether it's true or not , I'm sure Kompany will react quicker than that in the transfer market

[winsomeyen]

We are in financial trouble, but absolutely nowhere near (yet) where Swansea are

No way they could outbid us for wages

Not a chance

This stinks of Garlick.

[Tricky Trevor]

He plays ancient defensive football that bored the life out of West Brom fans last season, their fans say he actually made them worse.

Bruce joined them in February, after the window, and was lumbered with Robinson and Grant, two very average players for me, until he got Carroll in. This season with his own additions it’ll be a different story.

[TsarBomba]

As a police officer, you should base things on facts, evidence etc etc...... No he hasn't.

Odd comment. Which is why I said speculation..

[Quickenthetempo]

Have you thought Swansea might rate him a bit higher?

We have a lot of targets to bring in, we can't just keep raising wages and fees.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Do you see him more a left inside winger type for VK or striker?

I personally see him fitting in on the wing and coming in narrow as per how Kompany played them in Anderlecht.

I suspect he could be quite successful in that role

[Vegas Claret]

nothing related to us but it seems Gareth Bale to Cardiff is a good possibility

[Lancasterclaret]

If we are being beaten by Swansea for wages then we are in much worse trouble than anyone has guessed at so far

It really is that simple I'm afraid

*which is why I don't believe the story for one moment

[Nori1958]

Odd comment. Which is why I said speculation..

It was a little bit tongue in cheek, but a very quick check of the facts would have shown he hadn't signed, which might have stopped you posting

Keep up the good work....

[NewClaret]

Not great for us!

Bad day if Bale ends up at Cardiff and Wallace at WBA. I think Wallace/Swift will prove to be very good signings for them.

[louieollie]

As I said believe or disbelieve i won't lose sleep over it , I just passed it on because I found it very interesting especially as it was in response to me asking about if we are indeed in the running for Scott Twine

[Nori1958]

It could be a long summer for some on here, when players linked go elsewhere, it's very difficult to get a doctors appointment nowadays...

[bobinho]

*which is why I don't believe the story for one moment

I disagree. Recent dealings with players and clubs indicate that we (Burnley) attach a value to a player. We work out what we believe they are worth and offer to pay the fee and then we discuss wages. If he wants more, or someone else offers more, that means he won’t come here. I don’t believe it means we can’t afford him or that we are in dire financial circumstances.

Stop being sensible......

Might tie in with us moving on from McNally?

[RVclaret]

Might tie in with us moving on from McNally?

Darling has already signed for Swansea

[Nori1958]

Why?..... Eery player has a different value, in both fee and wages

[TheFamilyCat]

Makes sense to me (if there is any truth in it) that Swansea are offering more than we think he's worth rather than what we can afford.

[NewClaret]

Darling has already signed for Swansea

Realise that, I just meant that presumably we’ve known McNally bids rejected so maybe tried to muscle in on that deal late in the day?

[NewClaret]

Why?..... Eery player has a different value, in both fee and wages

It was reported this morning that our bids for McNally have been rejected and we’re “moving on” to other targets, or working down a list. My point was that news might tie in with with a (late) move for Darling.

[louieollie]

Thinking about it Darlings former manager at MK is at Swansea so maybe that had more of a draw than the money !. But I 100% trust the source as I worked with him at the Don's .

[Milltown1882]

Lets call him a club liaison, cant claim to know any insider transfer information like most mind.

*Also added to this tread as my topic suddenly disappeared

1000000000% false. The clubs themselves don’t get the fixtures till 8am on the release day then they’re embargoed till 9am.

[Stan Tastic]

1000000000% false. The clubs themselves don’t get the fixtures till 8am on the release day then they’re embargoed till 9am.

110% is 10% too high. Inflation is even affecting football percentages now.

[KRBFC]

Does not make sense

It does, Keith Treacy talked about it on a podcast, he completed his medical at Barnsley with the intention to sit and wait for a better offer from elsewhere on his agents advice.

[Paddy1882]

Heard that from someone else on a podcast can’t remember who, was about to sign for one team when another came in for him and too the anger of the team who had conducted his medical all the information from a medical belongs to the player not the club, so the team who nipped in at the last minute had all the information they needed without having to do their own medical. Naughty but it can happen.

[dougcollins]

Apologies if there's a thread, I did look.

Sky saying deal agreed with Newcastle.

[beddie]

It was said at lunchtime that a deal had been agreed and that he’s due a medical tomorrow.

[OffTheBar]

Wouldn’t believe everything you read

[pureclaret]

personally wish pope, all the worst for there future , they have chosen to put the rights of people behind pure greed, could have gone to another prem club.

[dougcollins]

I suppose it was a balancing act for Nick, a club small enough to get a regular game, big enough to be noticed for England.

[claptrappers_union]

I think with Hennessey, we have a decent Championship standard goalkeeper. Wise to cash in I think.

[firstclaret]

£10m far too cheap

[warksclaret]

Darling has signed a 3 year deal with Swansea

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Hope Pope has a Fabulous Time at Newcastle and wish him all the best

[Bosscat]

Nick Pope is moving on ... he has 1 year on his Contract ... he is involved in the England set up ... he needs Premier League Football ...

Good Luck Nick in the future you have been a helluva keeper for us over the past 6 years ... possibly the most gifted saver of worldies (as seen v Liverpool when we got that 1-1 draw) ... but the worst kick ever as seen game in game out ...

Thank you Nick for everything and I hope you get all you are looking for.

[Paul Waine]

I wish Nick Pope every success in his move to Newcastle and thank him for all he's done with Burnley. He's too good to be playing at Championship level.

I saw Nick Pope for the first time when he was Charlton's goalkeeper when we won the Championship. I thought for a time in that game he was going to frustrate our forwards with his performance and we would be lucky to score.

[bfcjg]

Can only wish him well,he has been brilliant for us.

Are you sure you are not thinking about Heaton’s performance that day for us?

We had four shots on target that game and scored 3. One after 20 mins against the run of play.

[dougcollins]

Apologies re the Pope thread. I'd kind of assumed this thread was incomings, not outgoings.

[ClaretMov]

Read a few online stories coming out of City and the way its being worded looks like the Harwood-Bellis deal is a permanent one not a loan and it could be completed by Friday

HB and Colins would be an excellent partnership

I'd be happy but very surprised if it was a permanent rather than loan deal.

I raise you Marlon Beresford, I dont think a keeper in world football hated it more when you weren't allowed to back pass it anymore
