Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[Steddyman]

£20 million is a ridiculous fee.

How are we supposed to find a Championship player who can give us 0 goals and 1 assist in 18 months for such a ludicrously small amount of money?

Well it’s going to be difficult to tell as we are not in the premier league this season are we

Think we were looking at O’Hare fill that role

[Elizabeth]

The Championship is full of hardened professionals and I doubt the loss of McNeil and Cornet , if it happens , will affect our ability to compete. In fact I expect us to be more competitive without them.

While I don't expect we will be at the top end of the table , I can't help being excited by the thought that the manager will encourage an attacking brand of football to excite us fans.

One or two gems still to come in would be great

[Granny WeatherWax]

While £20m is a decent fee it’s still a bit meh. With the right manager tho (dyche defo wasn’t that) he’s gonna develop into a cracking player so £20m might be cheap

Impossible to tell if he’s peaked or just in a rut due to our style/quality around him.

I agree, Everton could turn him in to a £40m player (so I hope we have a good sell on clause) or he could lose his way. I hope for the former, obviously.

[warksclaret]

I would rather part with players now than on the eve of the window closing.Still remember losing Austin this way, luckily Ings stepped up big style

Don’t think he’ll start. I still think someone who knows their stuff won’t be sledge hammering him left wing like Dyche did.

[JarrowClaret]

I have never seen o’hare play but based on comments about him by Coventry fans I had expected McNeil to move if we got him. All that disappeared when it was announced the deal was dead I wonder if we will see that deal resurrected after McNeil moves

MMM…. Seen us playing tippy football and losing before; start heading in the wrong direction will excite the fans alright, but not in the way you expect.

I didn't know he'd registered those stats in the Championship. I thought they were his most recent Premier League stats.

I might be way off here but I'm picking up a bit of sarcasm in this message.

[Burnley Ace]

McNeil will fade away like Tom Ince.

[KRBFC]

The Mcneil sale depends on the level of reinvestment, Tyrese Campbell and Ilias Chair please. Failing that I'll take O'Hare and Brewster.

[Belgianclaret]

Not ideal to lose McNeill so late on.

It’s going to be an even bigger rebuilding exercise than I had imagined. Patience shall be required, but I still think we are too slow and prolactin the transfer market

Brewster? He’s been woeful for Sheffield United.

If we’re honest we would have expected people to have been in for mee Tarks Collins cornet and McNeil as they are our best players.

[KRBFC]

3 in 14 last season, not been good, clearly talented and something different. Scored 11 in 22 at Swansea 2 years prior.

Would prefer us to go for Joel Piroe but probably out of our league.

[Steddyman]

Just a little bit. O'Hare will be back on now.

Proactive - spelling correctors

[Belgianclaret]

Seen him play a few times for Cercle Bruges.

Good player with skill and potential, but not yet a finished article

Just to add, will bring plenty of energy

[burnleytom]

Wait for the meltdown when people hear where Roberts is off to.

Can’t leave that like that, especially given we’ve just signed someone in his position.

[KRBFC]

I'd also prefer Piroe but yeah, just named 2 likely cheaper alternative youngsters who I think could improve. I saw Chelsea were struggling to get rid of Batshuayi and Barkley, both careers have stalled alot, doesn't seem they have many offers on the table either. I'd take Ugbo all day.

Barkley back to Everton

[Burnley1989]

I was amazed at that comment myself

[ClaretInLeeds]

I've heard the Vitinho signing will be announced before 7:30 tonight

Opinions are like aresholes.


There are a lot of opinions on this thread.

[Papabendi]

Just about to crack open my best bottle of red.

Willock from QPR would be my ideal replacement for McNeil he’s great

[burnmark]

Here is our new signing.

[Claret Alfie]

Vitinho’s agent has confirmed Vitinho has signed. Pics of him at the club on twitter

Nowhere near as many as in Leeds, though.

[dermotdermot]

And so who's the other geyser?

[Elizabeth]

Honestly, these petals who have no stomach for alternative views.

Ooh darling I was sooooo delighted when you agreed with moi

Just posting for the non Twitter types.

[clarethomer]

Social media team been beaten to the release by his agent by the looks of it.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

McNeil will fade away like Tom Ince.

Not our issue, there's no warranty given

[AGENT_CLARET]

Told you, only an hr out

[Top Claret]

Total clear out by next May the only players left from the Dyche days will be Rodriguez and Barnes

[SkiptonClaret]

Barnes can consider himself very fortunate.

[Rileybobs]

Told you

Has the Vitinho signing been announced by 7.30 tonight?

[ClaretInLeeds]

Told you, only an hr out

When did the club announce it?

[clarethomer]

Sorry but this made me laugh….

You’d think being married to Michelle Keegan would agree with you, not sure what’s happened to Mark Wright here, or why he’s with our new signing

[Pickles]

Easy stuff to parrot out after every departure...but it doesn't answer the slightly awkward question I posed earlier in the thread...to briefly rephrase it

Plenty of clubs have managed to retain a strong core of their best players follow relegation... Is there a scrap of evidence...anywhere..that we've made ANY EFFORT AT ALL to entice any of our best players to stay and fight for promotion?

Kompany covered some of what you're talking about in his press conference today.

But what sort of evidence would be sufficient here?

A tweet with, "Burnley Football Club would like McNeil to stay but he's said sod off I want to play in the Prem" ?

[expoultryboy]

Hopefully we go back after O'hare and i still think we need an experienced CH .
