Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[agreenwood]

Would imagine it’s a case of each potential deal on its merits.

I’m guessing we’re looking to bring in a striker on a permanent deal, but if a good loan option (ie Delap) presents itself, we’ll take it.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Call it intuition. Like I know that my neighbours Ferrari is quicker than my car. (It isn’t really, his car is sh!t)

As far as I can see, Burnley fans are unanimously giving our lads a chance.

Your neighbours Ferrari might have no engine. Let's see what we have before we go writing people off as 'worse' than what we have before.

[arise_sir_charge]

Maybe we tried to bring in players in those positions permanently but wasn’t possible, so as a last resort, we looked at loans?

Yes, which is a perfectly sensible and suitable approach.

However in an interview the manager happened to say they were a lost resort and so people on here will question every single loan signing.

When Kompany made that comment I understood it to be that it would be the last resort in terms of how we would look to sign a particular player. But if a particular target is only available to loan, or out of our price bracket then we will loan them. It was similar when he said he wasn’t going to raid Anderlecht and some people took that to mean we wouldn’t sign anybody from them.

Agreed.

Equally it could mean, we want a player, a club won’t accept an offer for him but they will let us have him on loan.

What are you on about, it seems like your first post is in full agreement with my actual point!

Point proven as I was agreeing with you!

Oh yes you would.

The thread title also doesn’t make allowances for us to discuss our signings.

[warksclaret]

Loans means you can secure a very high quality player, that we could probably not afford to buy, but more importantly the club might not let them go permanently.We have to admit a few clubs have really benefitted from the likes of Mason Mount, Timori, Harvey Elliott, Reece James,Armando Broja and many more. So pleased we are keeping an open mind and exploiting some real quality. Full marks to VK who has obviously been able to attract the player but also has put the mind of the supplying club at rest about game time

[Pearcey]

The sooner people accept that this thread will stray away from just transfers the better. People are allowed to talk about the transfer situation as a whole you know.

[Culmclaret]

We are still doing amazingly well on the transfers to posts ratio which normally ranges between 0:5000 and 1:5000.

O'Hare personal terms agreed according to Owen O'Brien

Not sure how reliable he is tbh

Pretty sure this guys another fraud ‘journo’ tbh

[KRBFC]

Alan Pace said he would like us to be everybody's second team, I think we're going in the right direction.

Brilliant joke, if you meant it.

I'm sure we have agreed personal terms with him, it's agreeing the fee with Coventry that's the problem.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Everton are really taking the mick now, that “play now pay later” for Cornet is deliberately designed to get this thread talking about finances. Or jokers. Or both.

[Sheff_bfc]

I might be way off the mark here, but doesn't a club agree a fee first and then personal terms?

[Vegas Claret]

that used to be the way but there have been loads of deals reported the other way around this summer

[Sheff_bfc]

Nice one. Didn't know that. Fingers crossed we get sorted on both fronts.

[EarbyClaret]

There are various reports along the lines of we are offering to triple his salary and at the same time make him one of the highest players in the Championship - so personal terms are not an issue

We haven't finalised a fee with Coventry but once you have got the player that far down the line you'd expect it to be 'when' not 'if' he signs

[Vegas Claret]

I've never seen him play - is he any good ?

[tiger76]

People used to moan that Dyche never used the loan market, and now we're using it people are moaning that we're signing players on loan.

I'm glad we're finally using the loan market effectively, for far too long this is an avenue we've ignored.

Ugbo ex Chelsea on big vinces radar

[Vegas Claret]

I don't know the first thing about him

[GodIsADeeJay81]

From his past, looks like another who wasted his time at Chelsea, being sent out on loan half a dozen times until he finally gave up and left.

[warksclaret]

Everton are really taking the mick now, that “play now pay later” for Cornet is deliberately designed to get this thread talking about finances. Or jokers. Or both.

Burnley need to tell Everton to go away and stop taking the mick, having just sold Richarlison for £50m-£60m. Suspect we need the cash early, which is why I hear Pope went on the slightly low side in order that more came up front rather than instalments. I think as we get closer to the window closing, more clubs will panic and show an interest in Cornet. Yes he can go for £17.5m but Cornet and his agent need to appreciate we are not a charity

[AlargeClaret]

Any news on Dwight ? Saw a bit of stuff about Palace and a few others but seemed to go cold ? He could really thrive with some pace and creativity around him( in the champ hopefully !) I see MC edging closer to a deal and WH of course gone . He’ll be snapped up but even at 39 Ben Foster is still an elite keeper of the highest order .

Looks like a mini Tammy Abraham.

[RVclaret]

Ugbo ex Chelsea on big vinces radar

Interesting one. Especially with Delap linked too. Unless we know Delap is going elsewhere.

[KRBFC]

I don't know the first thing about him

I remember him at Barnsley on loan when he was a young lad, big unit reminds me on Abraham. Was a goal machine in Brugge with Cercle, was linked all around Europe at the time, with big clubs too. Ended up weirdly at Genk where he was always gonna struggle for gametime, they have Onuachu in the lone striker role. I don't watch French football so no idea how he played 2nd half of last year.

him or Delap ?

[ClaretInLeeds]

Thought Genk were Belgian?

[Spijed]

Can't say I know anything about any of our signings so far.

yeah I'm the same for most of them, I've seen Twine a few times and obviously he has a reputation but as for the rest.....

[KRBFC]

They are, he was loaned to France in January.

[KRBFC]

Ugbo on a permanent, I've not seen Delap play much just highlight videos. Ideally both

Agree, but an alternative reading is the ‘right player’ will be signed, permanently or as a last resort… a loan.

Vincent Kompany on Maxwel Cornet: “We probably have to prepare for a period after him!”

I'm certain Cornet will go, but I'd be thrilled if he stayed. Even if only for half a season. The clause is so low I can't imagine he doesn't move. But I can hope.

He’s going.

[NickBFC]

I just hope Cornet is the final departure.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Gutted about cornet leaving I was hoping he was going to be our 20-30 goals a season player.

If he leaves on loan that would be horrendous

You’ve been saying all summer so far that he’s guaranteed to be off?

Also I doubt we’ll accept a loan, surely we need the cash.

[Belgianclaret]

Not too fussed about Cornet actually, as long as he's the last one out

What makes you suggest it might be on loan? Surely not.
