January transfer window rumours.

[MancunianClaret]

Nixon reckons the number 1 target is Gykores, but in the summer.

Where did he say this?

[Hedontplayforyou]

He did say we still see him as priority . But I just cant see us going in at that money. He reckons we are playing transfer games , which I believe maybe just means we are just proving to the player himself that we are serious about him wether it be now with a reduced fee by Coventry or in the summer when we may well be in the premier league, fingers crossed.

THis may well encourage him to wait for us in the summer rather than risk joining a prem team who ultimately gets relegated

He replied to someone on Twitter about an hour ago

Ahh that would explain it. He (Nixon) quite inexplicably has me blocked. Not sure why, never interacted with him in my life.

[Tricky Trevor]

Apologies if I’ve missed this earlier but new to me. The article I read has him as a FB whilst wiki say winger.

French footy website "Made in foot" says he's returning to Marseille but he would rather go to another spainish club. Norwich and Burnley were part of a list of about a dozen teams from across Europe who've been linked with him.

[Taffy on the wing]

We need the Bosnian midfielder more than anything else.......fingers crossed.

[It Is What It Is]

Pretty apparent Weghorst will not return to The Turf for next season, no matter how many goals and assists at Man U.
So, if he bags lots of goals and assists, do you think there may be a profit on our £12m outlay if we sell him?
Purely hypothetical I know, but would be nice to know we at least could get our money back.

if he score 10+ at United we will easily make a profit, all depends on how much game time he gets because United are making plenty of chances

[ksrclaret]

I like the look of the Bosnian midfielder and that Swedish centre half we’re being linked with. Hope we get both of those.

Then it’s just a decent striker and we’re laughing.

I’d say having set the price with Besiktas at €10m it’s likely hard to go massively above that unless there’s a bidding war. Although assume if we were promoted we’d have a very good argument that our circumstances have changed from when we set that valuation.

He went to a posh dinner where it was £200 a head and he had to pay £300.

[Somethingfishy]

I'm reading tweets saying H...the Bosnian guy...prefers Besiktas to us. The Turks are astonished he doesn't want to take the English offer and are questioning his ambition.

The Turkish journos do like to pander to the fans though.

I wouldn’t necessarily take stories that players prefer <insert big Turkish club> at face value.

Not 100% certain as it's mostly in Turkish and I'm pressing translate
Think some may be Konyaspor fans.

I have found the original its from one of the journos who broke it and as the Turkish are saying makes zero sense why would you not come to Burnley right now (never thought I would say that)

Turkish twitter transfer web who has 160k followers says

“ Burnley has come to an end in the transfer of Amir Hadziahmetovic. The actor looks very warm to Europe. Beşiktaş also continues its negotiations.”

Not sure how to read that really. Does it mean that we have pulled out or that the player wants to come here? Coming from a Turkish site does Europe mean not Turkey? Ie us? Who knows?

[PaintYorkClaretnBlue]

Burnley offered Konyaspor 4 million Euros plus bonus for Amir Hadziahmetovic.

The Bosnian player is close to the English team. ( TRT Spor)

That’s another Turkish twitter site with 125k followers

Ah right, you know more about that than me. How do they get 125k followers if they are fake?

Edit: 125k bots? What do they get from doing that??

You can pay money for bots and benefit is clout and credit which some people found necessary typically bots are not European or English based accounts to make them harder to detect

I watched this last night....

[Vegas Claret]

we'd be a massive upgrade for him looking at how crap his team mates were ! Looks a proper player

[Taffy on the wing]

If he had met a vitch, what would he do with her?

Tie a rock to her leg & chuck her in the lake? ..If she floats she's not a Vitch.

[Nori1958]

Apparently the deal for the Swedish centre half is back on, according to Swedish journalist

It seems like an awful lot of effort just to make stuff up about football, what do they gain from in? Surely there has to be some monetary gain?

‘Beşiktaş knocked on Konyaspor's door to reinforce the midfield. Kartal offered 2.5 million Euros to Konyaspor for Amir Hadziahmetovic. The Green-Whites asked for a raise. Even though Burnley stepped in, Beşiktaş is one step ahead...’

Don’t get good vibes on this one.

Not all players will fancy a move to Lancashire, however much you pay them. It's often simply a choice of lifestyle

Who knows, but I wouldn’t trust anything the media in Turkey report. Their angle on every story appears to be pandering to fans. If Real Madrid were after the lad, they’d report her preferred Besiktas.

Modern day footballers will have plenty of time to enjoy their riches in a warm, pleasant environment when they retire in their mid to late thirties. In the meantime they should try their utmost to play at the highest level they can irrespective of the country or climate. Challenging yourself as a professional sportsperson is what it is all about. The higher you go also brings more in terms of income and recognition and maybe even success.

Apparently the GOAT Messi didn't. He was happy being the superstar in a bang average Spanish league throughout all the peak parts of his career playing in the sunshine..

I'm not disagreeing with all of that but you will get a odd 1 or 2 who think sod that for a game of soldiers & it's not just the footballers you are effectively expecting other people (spouses) to come & join you, somebody's wife might not give a monkeys about her husband's ambition she wants to bask in the sun all day & top her tan up naturally.

Correct!

[BurnleyFC]

I’ve got to be honest, if I was an Eastern European professional footballer, I’d rather live in Istanbul than Lancashire too.

[Lancasterclaret]

If he's a Bosnian Muslim for example, he might be settled where he is

And Besiktas are a massive club

Saying that, Konya isn't exactly next door to Istanbul either
