Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[Juan Tanamera]

Meh, call me old fashioned but I’m happy to just see a picture of a player sat at a table signing a contract with the chairman and manager looming over him.

OK, you're old fashioned.

[TsarBomba]

I noticed that. Seems like it’s just a way to get his wages off the books for a season. Perhaps Kompany wants him for the prem if we go up?

Think he’s completely burnt his bridges not only with the fans, but the rest of the players too.

You only need to look at the amount of vitriol aimed at him on social media today after his departure was confirmed, to realise that you don’t come back from that.

Hopefully he smashes it in Turkey and seals a permanent move elsewhere.

You know what, if we really do put out a 6-9-4-2 formation this season I reckon we're in for a good shout of making the play-offs.

[Ric_C]

Can see why he's been linked. Kompany will know him. Attacking right footed midfielder. Never seen him play though.

Manu Garcia linked..

https://www.lavozdeasturias.es/noticia/ ... 925310.htm

Not so much a link but a speculation on his future. He looks to be in a similar position to Weghorst in not wanting to play in the second tier. Kompany only mentioned because he made a bid at Anderlecht and the City link. Very much doubt he'd drop to the English second division.

French customer of mine today mentioned that Kompany has shown interest in Mohamed Bayo of Clermont.
Good season in L1 just gone with 14. That after securing promotion previous season as top scorer with 22.

Been linked with West Ham, Everton and Spurs for 12m+.

I'm an oldie now, but boy I loved that reveal on twitter, well done admin guys

Well Done Burnley FC media!
My two grandsons 8 and 12 ( Singapore & Florida) loved it. Sooo much....now committed Clarets.
Want BFC shirts!!!

If you want a laugh Alex Crook said on talksport that Brownhill is going to West Ham and he expects it to be on a free transfer.

Quality bit of social media that, and not just because I was a wrestling fan growing up. Wonder if we can adapt the Goldberg chant for Bastien?

Why would we let a player under contract leave on a free?
I would want at least £30 million but after the pope deal I think we would probably snap their hands off at half that.

[Vino blanco]

£30 million for Brownhill??? No chance in this world.

It's more realistic than us letting him go on a free. Though that is a very low bar

I think the point is that the clueless journalist thinks Josh is out of contract.

1.5m & 2000 comments. Weghorst one was also great. I think this is one thing we can all agree the club are doing really, really well at the moment!

61k likes. Don't think I've seen the club get as many. Brilliant.

If you scroll through the comments, you have people from all over the world praising the video.

Kaiser Chiefs from South Africa have also commented. They have 2.5m followers, so that’s 2.5M people that have little ol’ Burnley pop up on their feed.

Remarkable.

Good to watch I haven't seen much of him before, some Pope esque saves in the video with more ability at his feet.
If he can fulfil that potential on a regular basis at less than half the cost of Pope then we may of done great business

[RVclaret]

[Quicknick]

He certainly distributes the ball well. And he does have the look of Pope with some of his saves. I am confident that he will be better than our last overseas goalkeeper, that masterstoke of a Coyle signing, Diego Penny.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

No loan fee for Wout, just covering his wages. No option or obligation to buy mentioned either. Can’t see how that’s a good deal at all as they’ll obviously not buy him after the loan.

His wages are covered.
He's not here.

It's a good enough deal for this season.
We can worry about what happens long term with him when he returns from his loan, if at all.
He's in a shop window and if.he does well enough someone will buy him.

The alternative is having him here with a negative attitude stinking the place out.

It’s a fair point but another season makes him a year older and his re sale value considerably drops. To not get a rental fee and no obligation to buy is not a good deal for us.

Good for getting wages off the books but for everything else it’s poor

Loans very very rarely have ‘obligations to buy’.

If he scores like mad there then his re sale value may not drop that much.

The Athletic reported negotiations were around an option to buy for Besiktas of €10m.

[warksclaret]

£10m for VW in a years time for a cash strapped Turkish club, is a very tall order

Surely though, with a couple of months left on the window, we might’ve been better hanging on to see if other clubs came in? You’d think someone would get desperate for a striker at some point and he has pedigree to be fair.

Not that I wanted him back at Gawthorpe mind…

That was my thinking. He’s a year older & value reduces. Meanwhile I assume we have an instalment to pay this summer.

I didn’t expect them to go for an obligation outright but I thought we might’ve negotiated a performance-related clause that could trigger an obligation, or something like that.

Wonder what the situation is if he picks up a serious injury?

[NewClaret]

Well isn't that the answer to your question?

Not really, because there are alternatives - albeit they may also have devalued him as per players elsewhere who are not training with their teams.

But I’d have considered a short stint back at Gawthorpe, perhaps training alone/fitness focussed, then a sale and clean break to be an overall better outcome than a loan, less time remaining on a contract and a year older scenario we now face.

Not arsed, he's not here stinking the place out.
Kompany appears to value a harmonious dressing room from what I've seen, WW wouldn't contribute to that and the financial hit is preferable to having him here.

[Lancasterclaret]

We've kicked the can down the road for a year

They cover his wages, we don't have to worry about him for a year, and he gets to play at a level that he wants to and it won't affect his chances of getting in the Dutch team (Wesley Snjeders was at one of the big Turkish clubs for at least a couple of seasons)

Best we could do, apart from selling him for more than we bought him for

So if no one had come in for him, he'd be here next season.
Then if he'd decided he wasn't playing in the championship we're faced with a Bogarde/Chelsea situation and it's a nailed on fact that we'd have people on here annoyed that we didn't take the chance to loan him out.
It's fairly predictable how some would react.

He's gone, let's move on

[RVclaret]

Footy insider are reporting we've had multiple bids rejected for Callum O'Hare.

Just to add - they reported in April that Coventry wanted 5m for him this summer.

Who knows.. he may score freely in that league and perform well at the World Cup.. we might even make a profit on him

[RVclaret]

We’ve had 3 bids rejected for Ben Wiles from Rotherham according to Andy Jones, with the latest being up to 2m.

Funny names for grandsons. Was it a Brooklyn Beckham type thing?

If hypothetically we get Wiles and O'Hare, then surely VK is thinking of playing Twine as a false 9?

That line has also been picked up by Pete O’Rourke but not sure if they’re one and the same. Seems like an exciting player. I know Nixon said we’d only be looking at him if Dwight left but he could just as easily replace Cornet if Chelsea end up taking him.

Yes Pete O’Rouke works for footy insider I believe. Like the sound of O’Hare.

So do I, but I like the sound of McNeil better.

[jojomk1]

Some would say we have been playing the likes of Wood, Jay, Barnes and Vydra as false No 9's for some seasons

[firebfcfire]

Gordon from Everton been linked with a £35m move to Newcastle after half of a good season. Yet people will accept £10m-£15m for McNeil, very unusual

[CoolClaret]

Or we are just after one of them but spreading our bets with multiple targets?

Yeah Twine will be playing as the deeper lying forward like he did for MK imo

[AshevilleNCClaret]

Got a feeling that Cornet will stay. While no one wants to play in the championship, VK and a new style of play/players might want him to stick around, at least for a year.
I don't think Chelsea is really that interested in him.
