January transfer window rumours.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Bristol City recorded a loss of 28m last year and 38m the year before.

It amazes me that clubs in this league are able and allowed to run at such losses, yet still demand these extreme amounts for players.

He does look a talent that lad. Destined for the prem but at those type of fees who’s going to pay it?

Nixon:


Burnley are backing away from a deal for Swedish centre half Albin Ekdal - leaving Dutch side Groningen favourites for his signature.

The Clarets were investigating the move for the Djurgaardens defender as cover but are unwilling to commit.

Ekdal has talked of the Burnley move but now Groningen are set to pounce for him.

The factors against the Burnley move are Ekdal’s lack of recent game time and the fact he would need to have a work permit taken to appeal.

I can’t see lack of playing time being an issue to be honest. If he does come in he’ll be backup to THB and Beyer anyway, at least initially.

If there is any ring of truth to this it could be to do with the work permit (thanks Brexit).

[claretonthecoast1882]

Just think there are people out there who pay Nixon for his nonsense

[123EasyasBFC]

Take Nixon with a pinch of salt, he’s been bang on the money with things for us in the past but then also been way off. Then he puts nothing stories out there like the barnes one at the weekend ‘Burnley will only let barnes go if they sign a striker’ that’s hardly breaking news

With rumours THB could be out a couple of months a new cb is important

[warksclaret]

That would be bad news with the league and potential cup games coming up. You also have to factor in when luck is not going your way that Beyer could get injured too

Do the rumours suggest what the injury to THB might be ?

No just got told from a mate that it’s a couple of months

Is he reliable, or is he as reliable as the bloke who told me that Jamie Hoyland got deliberately sent off v Wycombe to stop us getting into the play offs because he'd only get offered a new contract if we stayed down?

Hard to say not someone who would make stuff up, works over Manchester and reckons it’s come from someone who knows him

Fair enough

Goes without saying that I hope the info is wrong!

[Socrates]

Works over Manchester!!

You can take that to the bank then.

[claretcarrot93]

Just remember everyone that amidst the chaos of the summer window someone here said “I hope we do t sign Manuel Benson, he’s ****”.

Let that be a lesson.

Who said that? Need names

Hello...

He’s been pretty disappointing at Stoke. Their fans haven’t rated him. Albeit its been a poor team.

Hello...

Halil has looked better in the 10 minutes or whatever he’s played than delap has at stoke

[PremierLeagueClass]

Regarding Delap, his dad has just left the club. Just noticed Percy has said that isn’t a factor but you have to wonder. Not worked out for him at all there but some of the more sensible Stoke fans I work with think there’s a player in there. They reckon he will be far more successful at his next club.

I’d certainly be having a look. Definite potential there.

[Andingle]

https://the72.co.uk/2023/01/11/champion ... city-loan/

He might be keen to leave as Stoke have just potted his dad haven't they ?

[ArmchairDetective]

Aye. Seems have been pretty quiet. Some were calling him a cheat code for the championship before the season began.

He seemed to do well playing for City (albeit I could probably grab a couple of goals in that team), but it's be interesting to see how he would do in our system.

The guy has already acknowledged his opinion has been proven wrong, and he doesn’t think that way about Benson anymore. I don’t see the point in dragging it up again, what’s the point in discussion if we don’t allow people to change their minds?

[RVclaret]

The tweet you are talking about is referencing his transfermrkt ‘value’

https://www.transfermarkt.com/anass-zar ... ler/491296

I have no idea how transfermrkt reaches these figures but it’s fair to say they are never accurate

[ArmchairDetective]

Google translate suggests the article says 'has a market value', rather than being available at that price. I imagine the writer has Googled Zaroury market value which takes you straight to this website https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/pl ... ss-zaroury.

If they want to give us 25m and loan him back to us for the remainder of the season, that might make him more available...

[PictoPirate]

SSN Reporting Wout deal is agreed:

Weghorst deal agreed in principle
Manchester United have a “deal in principle in place” with Burnley to sign striker Wout Weghorst.
United are still waiting for the termination to be agreed between Burnley and Besiktas before any deal can be finalised.
United are conscious of the complexities of the deal as it requires the alignment of three clubs and are keeping all other options open if the transfer doesn’t come to fruition.

We have the max amount of loans in so one would have to leave first

I think I might cry if we sold Anass !!

[Vegas Claret]

it would take a ridiculous offer for us to sell him when you consider how much promotion is worth, nobody will come close to his value this window

[mkmel]

Unless we were going to buy him!

[Woodleyclaret]

Anass will be a £40m player in a year's time
He's a class act and destined to be a major player in our promotion winning team.

FWIW i really hope Nixon is wrong about Ekdal.......he looks a real prospect.

[123EasyasBFC]

Eyüpspor are interested in Halil Dervisoglu, who is on loan from Brentford to Burnley. Eyüpspor have reached the final stage in their talks with Brentford.

[Hipper]

I've seen Delap a few times on Sky and he's never done anything to justify his place in the Stoke side. He's played the equivalent of 15 full matches so he should have settled down by now. He's 19 years old so that's in his favour but he doesn't appear ready at this level yet.

Will Brentford have to compensate us?

Supposedly Rovers in for Cantwell. Not surprising if they have tried before. £2m offer turned down by Norwich.

Funny how valuations differ so much when it comes to a club buying and selling. How much are they after for their almost ooc striker!?

I seem to recall that when we got him on loan there was a £1m loan fee

I watched him intently for our match against him... wasn't getting a lot of service, and not only was frustrated but got a silly yellow card.
i admit, that from watching the highlights, he seemed incredibly talented and I thought he could be a difference maker for us.

[clarethomer]

Will Brentford have to compensate us?

Probably depends on whether there is a recall clause. If there is - I would say no.

That's the reason for WW issue. If we could recall him back to Burnley knowing Man Utd wanted him, we would have just done that and Besiktas could do nothing about it. The lack of recall means that we can't recall him and end the contract with Besiktas. Therefore we have to do something to break the contract if we want Man Utd to have WW and Besiktas are clearly seeing an easy payday using the "he's too valuable to us so you need to make it worth our while" card

If Brentford haven't put a recall clause in then I would imagine we would have the ability to do what Besiktas has done and insist.

Came across a Sunderland fan on YouTube last night who reckons Burnley have offered Ross Stewart 17k a week if he leaves Sunderland
