January transfer window rumours.

[1882Clarets1882]

Thanks for the replies lads. I take all your points on board, particularly when a player becomes unmotivated when he wants away. All fair points well made. Like I said, I genuinely hope it turns out to be a master stroke. Tarks signing turned out to pretty much that didn't it !! Enjoy the game tomorrow gents .

[claretcarrot93]

I'm sorry, but its not done till the announcement video is done

That is what we are all waiting for!

Yeah they are better than the actual signings and that's saying something. No coincidence that our transfers have been top notch since the videos were upped in quality.

Cryptic message from Clubs twitter

Twitter? I prefer this approach: Harry Potts Calling.

3 and a half years contract.

I hope he is better than his announcement video!

Quite good, but not as good as most of the summer ones

Youre being generous, its bobbins!

[Fretters]

Woody saying "nobody is getting replaced" suggests we'll be playing with 10 after all

[arise_sir_charge]

I think it’s excellent.

The “what’s taking so long” “don’t worry they are professionals” plus the “nobody is getting replaced” are very subtle and clever.

Also “which present are we gonna open first” suggests more to come

[Taffy on the wing]

What’s wrong with it?

[DCWat]

I’m more on the side of ‘they’ve just stuck his face on Buzz Light year’ than I am on the ‘the script from Toy Story is being used as a message of what else is to come’ side.

[MancunianClaret]

Obafemi next then!

[Taffy on the wing]

I agree........already picked for the first signing.

‘Burnley interested in a €1m swoop for PSV’s Jensen Seelt. Also still exploring a €1.5m move for Hjalmar Ekdal at Djurgarden. Offers made.’

I think you’re wrong. The “what’s taking so long” “they’re professionals” is definitely a reference to our previous reveals etc.

Seelt: CB, 19yrs old and apparently 1.92 m tall. You can't fault our targeting young players from Europe.

[AGENT_CLARET]

What's changed with the scouting abroad compared to how it was under Dyche, is it purely Kompany coming up with all these player's or do we have new scouts

Perhaps we have better contacts in Europe with VK and our new coaches.

[Lancasterclaret]

I think its a combination of new owners and Kompany both having amazing contacts

[Carwin261]

Think we may be going back to the old fashioned 4-2-4 ,playing 4 ball playing centres halves,2 midfield ,& 4 up,front.Jimmy Mac must be smiling in his football heaven.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Perhaps we have better contacts in Europe with VK and our new coaches.

I hope so, this is fantastic for the clubs future, we buy 6 or 7 rough diamonds and find 2 or 3 future stars to sell for big money to keep the club going, Kompany/the club have done well already

[Carwin261]

We just put an ad in the Belgium papers saying “ Who wants to play for the most exciting team in England” and if your any good you might be playing in the Premier League next season.

It a bit of both the athletic has done a piece on the recruitment the primary influence is ALK so the ownership a 3 pronged system was implemented
1. An algorithm
2. The traditional but expanded scouting system now spread across Europe and further afield
3. Vincent Kompany

Any of the three aforementioned prongs may throw up a player for the club to look at but each will then pass through the other methods to make sure they are good and then the club compiles shortlists of these players that they go through name by name so while Kompany is used to help recruit by making calls all these people we are signing such as Zaroury we were already aware of and looking at before Vincents arrival.

If we get him, I hope VK can mould him into a Barnes replacement - I'm gonna miss his top-tier shithousing when he finally leaves us.

[IanMcL]

All ok.

[clarethomer]

Not sure if this has been mentioned -Daily Mail journo by looks of it.

It looks like we're trying to get players in just in case we can't turn the loan signings into permanent transfers in the summer. VK did seem to mention something along those lines the other day.

Burnley put 25-year-old Amir Hadziahmetovic from Konyaspor on its agenda…

The new owners are proving to be a breath of fresh air and starting to be accepted as the heart of the club.
Kompany’s football world is now firmly embedded with our club and it would be an empty feeling without him.

Defensive midfielder... we could do with one more.

[mdd2]

an awful lot on non strikers in those possible signings and we only have about 3 places in our 25man squad from memory and that may be down to 2 now
I dont think overseas players under 21 are exempt from the 25man squad

[claretspice]

Agreed and I think this lad is highly rated. Comfortable on the ball and pretty robust defensively from what ive read. Regular international with Bosnia too.

[Cleveleys_claret]

That French newspaper Lequipe must be having palpitations with all these foreign signing we are making

[Belgianclaret]

Perhaps we have better contacts in Europe with VK and our new coaches.

1. We are finally prepared to shop on the continent
2. Contacts are obviously better via VK’s network

[DCWat]

Can pick a long pass as well by the look of his videos.

[expoultryboy]

Not just a commentators nightmare , how much would it cost to get his name on your shirt ???

[Spijed]

Or Hendrick

They may still be thinking of sending McNally out on loan to play every week which frees a space, was Costelloe named in the squad? He’s just gone out on loan so that might be another space cleared

[Aclaret]

Or Hendrick

It's Hendrix

Egan-Riley is 20, does he take up a squad spot?
