Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[CaptainKirk]

In the following link it shows him going past players by shifting the ball quickly from his left to his right foot.

It also shows him smashing two goals in with his right foot which I don't recall McNeill ever doing.

Let me get this right - this guy is signing for us??
I am getting more excited by the day!
Went right off the PL ages ago. I watch football to be entertained and that was not happening.
I don't care what League we are in - this looks like it could be a fun ride!

[Stayingup]

Just read Leicester value Maddison at 60 million
Good for them to try to make the Saudis cough up.

[FCBurnley]

What is it with these clubs and wanting Maxwel on loan? Just pay the money ffs.

We let WW go out on loan !!!

[Claret Alfie]

Reports on Twitter that we’d agreed a fee with Sporting for Cabral but the player has turned us down.

[gawthorpe_view]

We let WW go out on loan !!!

Did WW have a release clause in his contract?

[KRBFC]

From the Athletic

‘Benson is understood to have had interest from clubs in France but a move to England appealed and Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is understood to be a big draw.’

Don't believe that rubbish, the French teams never made an offer, Kompany will be a big draw but if you believe he turned down Champions League football with Marseille to play for Burnley, then I dont know what to tell you.

[TomtheClaret]

Will Norris turned down a move to Cambridge Utd. Believe it was loan with option to buy.

[Ric_C]

Got the feeling with WW, we couldn't wait to get him out of the building. at least with Max he seems to be popular with the squad

[GodIsADeeJay81]

We let WW go out on loan !!!

Yup, but he was utter toss during his time here and no one was going to pay a transfer fee for him.

Cornet was our highest goal scorer last season, has scored in the CL too.
There's a reason why clubs want to buy Cornet but not WW...

[Jakubclaret]

A maverick gamble of epic proportions really expecting a guy to come in who’d never played a game in the English league’s never mind the top tier to step in & get the goals required to prevent relegation.

[tiger76]

Will Norris turned down a move to Cambridge Utd. Believe it was loan with option to buy.

Strange if true as Norris unlikely to feature at Burnley anytime soon, so why not go out and get some regular game time as Jensen has done going to Accy.

And he's one we could do with getting off the books.

Hes obviously sounded out Kevin Long who told him to stay put

[Boxy]

Doubt he's on anything major wage wise, and it's always good to have 3 GKS for the squad. I may be wrong but u couldn't see him again Huddersfield, looked like a youth keeper was there instead

[CardyTheClaret]

If you think 'some clubs in France' = Marseille, then I don't know what to tell you.

[KRBFC]

Marseille and Lyon were the 2 French clubs mentioned, keep up

Epic gamble and an epic loss by the sound of it. Didn’t we pay 10 mill plus. Only hope is he scores for fun in Turkey

[Boxy]

You got to gamble , if we didnt people would be complaining that we didnt try something. We may let recoup some of his fee next season

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

WW bagged vs Sampdoria in a friendly, so there is some hope....

UTC

[Jakubclaret]

True I can’t argue with any of that, it’s similarly as noticeable that so many banked on him being a success & were convinced that he would be with CW disappointing season the bar wasn’t set high, but in the same sort of way that whoever VK so much as looks at never minds signs that said player also will be held with the same amount of confident belief before any reasonable time period is established.

[Hipper]

Just need to sign Ryan Hedges from them down the road and we would have 20 Benson & Hedges.

That partnership would be smokin’!

Certainly better than the Heath Robinson front line we had in the mid 90s.

Smokey Robinson?

[Claret Toni]

Just need to sign Ryan Hedges from them down the road and we would have 20 Benson & Hedges.

They're both players.

[Hibsclaret]

They're both players.

Probably wearing number 6

[Hipper]

If we continue this we need to sign Bert Capstan. He has the strength we will need.

Then perhaps for back up goalkeeper there's Egyptian Mustafa Camel.

Perhaps our forwards will get a Lucky Strike.

[Culmclaret]

There’s that Balkan lad, Sobranie

[durhamclaret]

This is getting silly but what about the Jamaican defender Clifton Woodbine, I’ll get my coat!

[TsarBomba]

Salernitana after Kouyate from Metz on loan.

[Culmclaret]

I don’t recall smoking either of those

[bfcjg]

If Benson's nickname isn't "4 beds" then we've failed as a club.

Glad it's over the line, I'll certainly Sleepeezee tonight.

[warksclaret]

Fear it will be a silent night

[Claretitus]

Think all those linked will get a mention in Rothmans year book.

[1HappyClaret]

It’s a bit of a fag reading all these puns

[bfcjg]

Blanket ban for crap puns from now on.

[Clarets4me]

Reports on Twitter that we’d agreed a fee with Sporting for Cabral but the player has turned us down.

I saw this ... the player apparently prefers a " Premier League " option !

At the start of 2021-22, Sporting sent Cabral on loan to Lazio, for a loan fee of 1m Euros, with an option to buy at the season end ( 8m Euros ). He was obviously well regarded, as he was given the squad number 11 shirt. He ended up playing only 3 League games, grabbing one goal. He was returned to Sporting without the option being taken up. He's turned down a move to Besiktas already this summer.

It looks to me like Sporting are trying to " manage " him out of their Club, which begs the question, why ? Character, or is he quite as talented as he believes himself to be ?

[Tricky Trevor]

Watching Rangers in Belgium against Union Saint-Gilloise. I’ll report back on any decent wingers.

Keep an eye on Rangers number 37. Heard he’s decent.

[JR1882]

Isn’t it just.

Blowing smoke up him before he’s even played!

[Tricky Trevor]

Decent Ivory Coast LW Simon Adringa. Sadly he’s owned by BHA and is on a season loan.
Union just taken lead after 26mins

[Pearcey]

Adringa? Name rings a bell.

[bumba]

Keep an eye on Rangers number 37. Heard he’s decent.

Ross Sykes playing for Union, ex claret and local lad

[Tricky Trevor]

0-1 at HT. They need Prestwick(Scottish Airfield) on sooner rather than later.
RB for Union is a Burnley born lad, Ross Sykes, who played over 100 games for Stanley.

[kentonclaret]

It’s a bit of a fag reading all these puns

Especially as we have no fags just Ash

[Mattster]

https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... are_btn_tw

Guardian reporting West Ham close to Cornet deal at price below the release clause.

Doesn't make much sense given the level of interest, unless they're paying all up front maybe?

[Bop]

What’s wrong with Ash?

Wouldn't make sense at all we'd make nothing from the deal after paying his old club a percentage of the small profit

The journalist that’s wrote that tweeted “close to agreeing deal” whereas the article says “leading the race.” He’s also mentioned the other 4 teams that are linked with him covering bases, nothing that we haven’t already heard. No one’s close until they pay the fee

[fatboy47]

If we're looking at accepting upfront cash of less than the clause, as opposed to going with an offer that pays considerably more over a period of 2 or 3 years, then we must be up a financial version of sh1t creek.

(If)

I don’t think there’s any ‘ifs’ about it, unfortunately.

If indeed.

And other than the fact that post Benson we will have spent more money than Bournemouth, Brighton, Everton and Leicester this window.

Not really a sign of being up the creek. Leveraged, but not up the creek. Yet. I expect more signings.

Silly post and pretty irrelevant. Those clubs haven't offloaded nearly all the family silver in the last few months.

[Jakubclaret]

It’s getting to the point where you are left wondering who’s next it must be 1 hell of an interest rate on that loan to be going hammer & tongs relentlessly.
