Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[Rowls]

Sky says Spurs have paid £12.5m, could reach £20m with performance related bonuses, probably if Spurs win the league title.

I'd take that for Roberts but if it's Spurs then the add ons need to be related to finishing top 10 so we have a better chance of the extra money.

[KRBFC]

Prem quality ? We were relegated.
We had a bunch of thirty somethings on tens of thousands a week.
The wholesale change was overdue because of the absolute recruitment shambles pre pace.

Agree, ALK are to blame too though, they had 3 windows to rectify it and chose to make a January profit despite us sat bottom of the league.

Spurs will finish 2nd this year behind City, mark my words.

Not seen it mentioned, no O’Hare in Coventry squad tonight.

Edit: sorry, didn’t see it amongst all the Spurs chat

Neither is Gyokeres or Hamer.

And don't you think Dyche had some major responsibility for transfer decisions over those three windows

We had players on contract. Not a lot the new board could do to shift them.
With players' contracts ending this Summer it's been possible to shift some out and refresh the squad.

you must have missed the bit where Pace flew to Croatia only for Orsic to get a twitchy arse

You mean 2 notoriously difficult January windows (one when they’d literally just taken over and the other one slap bang in the middle of a pandemic where clubs were signing players based on vaccination status’ to highlight the ludicrous state of affairs, or the only summer window they had when they signed more players in one window than the previous board did in multiple windows?

Triple bid, get in

So yes, amazingly ALK with have a lower net spend across four transfer windows then Garlick did across his entire reign.

Sounds like excuses to me, same excuses under Garlick infact. The recruitment team failed, I lay blame on Dyche, Garlick, ALK and the rest of the staff responsible. Seems strange to not blame ALK when they had 3 transfer windows and made a net profit, despite fans crying about lack of investment under Garlick.

Sounds like the £20m Kalvin Phillips bid under Garlick, the £15m Che Adams bids and the almost signing of Ziyech. It's not Garlick's fault Dyche spunked £10m on Jay Rodriguez and signed Dale Stephens instead of Garlick's choice of Harry Wilson.

The blame Garlick for everything on here is tiring, he's part responsible for sure. That last summer window with only Stephens coming in was criminal but who's fault was that? Dyche loved Stephens, Garlick wanted to sell, ALK needed Garlick not to spend on transfers so they could take the cash out of the club to pay for shares.

I've even seen some posters suggest bad signings like Stephens blamed on Garlick, apparently Dyche didn't want the bad signings... It's a team effort and they're all to blame.

It isn’t strange, because what you say severely lacks in context. Pace has had 18 months now to see first hand where the problems lay. He sacked a lot of non playing staff - people whinged, he sacked Dyche, people whinged, he has overhauled the playing squad and got one of the biggest names in world football in as boss and yet people choose to whinge about net spend. Laughable and shows a complete lack of understanding of the game in my opinion. Anyway, back to rumours...

I'm talking about relegation and ALK's failure to address key areas of the squad in the previous 3 windows, nothing about Dyche's sacking or Kompany's hiring, both decisions which I fully support btw.

[gandhisflipflop]

The squad had been neglected to such a point that to turn that around in 2 transfer windows (I’m not counting the first one as they’d only just taken over) at that level was nigh on impossible. Despite what some may believe, we actually had a much better summer window than previous windows last summer. It was a start. By the time Jan came along, maybe pace and the recruitment team did go for targets, only to be told no by Dyche, maybe that was the catalyst for the change in thinking about moving forward with Dyche. The one mistake they did make was to give him such a long deal, but again that’s with hindsight. Pace has now settled in, and I trust him completely to turn the club around.

Having blind faith in Pace is an interesting take.

To date there’s nothing to suggest he will achieve half of what Garlick did.

I hope he does but I can’t see it.

it will be an unpopular opinion on here but I really think Dyche ball screwed us in the transfer window, even that lad buggered off to Bournemouth for less money because of it.

Annnnnnyway, anyone heard anything more about Delap ?

It isn’t blind faith, it’s called giving them a chance. They’ve impressed me this summer. And please list all of garlicks outstanding achievements

Nothing more than that rumour earlier

Seriously?

6 consecutive seasons in the premier league, known as the best run club in the country, getting our academy to Cat 1 status, European run.

Need some more?

Oh yeah that’s right, I’d forgot that we need to pass off Dyches achievements as Garlicks own. Jesus wept. Anymore rumours anyone?

Dyche and Garlicks achievements are hand in hand. Just like Dyche and ALKs failures are hand in hand.

I find it strange that you demonise our most successful period of the modern era yet praise the new owners that to date have failed to achieve there targets.

like you said back to rumours

[Selby Claret]

With what?
What?!
A lovely what?!?

I must say, I do really like Pace, seems like a nice bloke. Hopefully I can get over the financials of the takeover with time, I admired his actions last season at times, made a bold decision sacking Dyche and had the knackers to never hide, always showed his face and stood up to those critical (I wasn't one of those criticizing that decision). Desperately unfortunate that decision didn't work out, so so close and Jackson kinda bottled it, coupled with Everton's crazy end of season form (beating Chelsea and Man U at home). I like the Kompany hiring and like the swiftness and direction of the signings, the teams shaping nicely, 3 quality additions and I'd bet on us to go up in the next 2 years.

agree with all of that

Look... we're all in it together.
We all want the best for Burnley FC.
Only optimism allowed ..Ok

Had the knackers to never hide ?
Have you got a link to his comments when we got relegated as I must have missed what he said , cheers

Three windows but but no money. I just don't understand how you can't fathom that. Perhaps if you stopped punching away on your tablet and sat back and thought about something you might post something apt.

[FCBurnley]

Anybody know our net spend/income since ALK took over ?o

[AGENT_CLARET]

I hope we sign someone soon then all this bitching can stop

[Newcastleclaret93]

I believe it was 5m before this window.

So probably around 20m in profit now before any more deals are done.

[Nori1958]

Hasn't worked previously

[Big Vinny K]

In Collins, Cornet, Roberts and Weghorst at cost of around £40m I guess ?
Out - Wood….£25m.
The Chris Wood sale was not planned and out of the blue - and obviously we would not have bought Weghorst if we had kept Wood.
With relegation obviously everything changes and I don’t think it’s that relevant to talk about net spend when the financial situation of the club changes so drastically.

[Tinribs]

I don’t think they chose to make a profit,they had very little say in the Chris woods sale and Pace was all over Europe chasing players who didn’t want to risk either going to a bottom 3 team or playing Dycheball

[BennyD]

Mitrovic is an an absolute monster in the Campionship but in the Prem, he can't hit a cow's ar5e with a banjo. I'm sure Cornet could well be our version of Mitrovic, but we know he can cope in the Prem.

Mitrovic has a better goal scoring record in the Premier League than both Barnes and Jay-Rod

[JR1882]

It’s no good knocking our net spend when our whole business model is to make more selling than we spend, in order to remain competitive at the top table.

Linked with Bertrand Traore on loan from Villa.

Why does every transfer thread always deteriorate into this? It' really tiring.

[NewClaret]

.......is this the right room for an argument?

Just criticise Brownhill, Garlick or Pace and you’ll be away

[NewClaret]

Linked with Bertrand Traore on loan from Villa.

Potentially a very good signing but on £130k per and apparently Villa want £91k of that to be paid by the loan club. NEXXXT!!

[agreenwood]

Oddly, the tweet from Sacha Tavolieri re Traore has since been deleted.
