Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[burnleymik]

Was the Obafemi deal with an obligation to buy or not?
If it was there is no discussion, he’s signing.
If it wasn’t has he shown enough to warrant signing him?

To be fair to Obafemi, he was played out on the wings when we saw him come on for us, which I don't think is his strongest position. I think he could be a useful asset. Would like to see him given a try up top and see what he can do.

[Pickles]

The Obafemi deal should have been thought of as a permanent deal from the off. Loan probably made it easier financially or something. I see no reason to think he'd be going back to Swansea.

[clarets12]

If Federa signs some of our fans' heads will explode. You think Wood and Woods was bad.

We'll have lots of mentions of a former 8-time Wimbledon champion and a type of hat.

[RVclaret]

Fadera* is signing for Genk, calm down.

Totally agree.

[Lancasterclaret]

It would be a bit of a letdown after all this excitement for it to be O'Shea (who we knew about two days ago), The Orient lad (who we knew about two weeks ago) and Obafemi (who we knew about six months ago)

This could be on if Millwall are lining up a replacement.

A bit harsh, very rare there isn't going to be a situation where a transfer is announced with no prior rumours.

I know, but I want the pics of random Brazilians at our training centre and people going "When did we sign him?"

When I saw Fleming last season he played as something between an 8 and a 10 - primarily playing as a midfielder, but also linking the game with his back to goal. That allowed Millwall to use him as a target whilst primarily playing with a relatively nimble striker in Tom Bradshaw ahead of him. Not hard to see how that might work for us in a 4231 next season- any of Foster, Obafemi or some of the strikers we've been linked with are in that nimble mould.

Whoosh. It was carrying on what 123EasyasBFC had put.

[clarets12]

A bit about Butez.

Swansea confirmed with their retained list that Obafemi was retained but would be signing for Burnley. Nothing has been confirmed as yet but he is signing for us.

[jedi_master]

This feels like the calm before the storm....just a gut feeling!

Remember that period last summer where for about two weeks it felt like we were signing a player every 3 days

Yeah twine, McNally, bastien, THB and Egan—Riley felt like they came pretty quick

[JarrowClaret]

Wasn’t Muric signed around that time as well or am I remembering wrong

[PictoPirate]

Carvalho set for RB Leipzig loan switch according to SSN so I guess we can cross him off the list

[Firthy]

Do you know them all personality then

No

[Conroy92]

Possibly

Is it one we've discussed or an 'out of the blue' type?

[claretonthecoast1882]

Nathan Redmond

[Tribesmen]

One thing i like Vinny likes to get his players in soon as he can which was a bit like at City , not many last minute buys from him .

[northeastclaret]

When

One thing i like Vinny likes to get his players in soon as he can which was a bit like at City , not many last minute buys from him .

When do they return to training? , bet he ideally wants most in for then. Saying that those that have been playing in the internationals I would guess will have another two weeks off?

[Firthy]

Is it an exciting signing or a squad filler like the other two?

[123EasyasBFC]

Back in on Monday 26th, international lads in on Monday 3rd

Several of our summer signings last year came in after the season had started including two on the last day of the window

Monday I think they are back in - sure I read 26th June.

[Gp8419]

Is it one we've discussed or an 'out of the blue' type?

I don’t think he is in the know like he probably used to be,a lot of new staff at the club he never expected the O’Shea signing although not confirmed.I will guess 5 in pending by a week today let’s see if I’m right.

[randomclaret2]

Those who have been away on International duty are apparently in a week after that

[StayingDown4Ever]

When I saw Fleming last season he played as something between an 8 and a 10

A 9?

If that's aimed at me, I can assure you I've known about O'Shea for well over a week now, long before it got out into the press. You are right, I don't know many staff now but that's not where you necessarily get your information.

[ClaretTony]

That seems sensible given they've only just finished

Don't feel the need to defend yourself. Please continue to post what you can, when you can.

[Firthy]

For christ sake it's a bloody rumours thread. Why do people insist on doubting others and having a dig at them. Just read the rumours and believe what you want and wait and see if it happens.

Definition of a rumour "report of uncertain or doubtful truth" Please bear that in mind when reading this thread.

[ArmchairDetective]

Those that shout loudest...

There's plenty of people on here that quietly appreciate people like CT who share what they can when they can. Please keep up the good work.

[Quicknick]

I'll second that. I enjoy CT's understated contributions.

[davideyresleftear]

I feel like some people don’t know what a rumour is or have confused this with the Solid Gold Tier 1 Fact thread

[Quickenthetempo]

From Irish journo on Twitter

‘Burnley jump ahead of four English clubs, plus Serie A interest, to sign Ireland intl.

Vincent Kompany driving force behind getting deal done.

Burnley boss believes 24 y/o capable of operating at top 6-8 level of Premier League, & can make him better.’

Interesting

WBA have said publicly we were the only one's in for him.

Typical journalist adding more clubs to the story.

[Guller Bull]

I feel like some people don’t know what a rumour is or have confused this with the Solid Gold Tier 1 Fact thread

Me - "Alexa -How many tiers are there?"

Goombay Dance Band - "Oooh Alexa stfu , we know this as a fact!"

You get a lot of stick , myself I don’t know how you decide which information to share. For example you were happy to share the Clark information from Sunderland but not the O’Shea. What reason?

I know you easily get tetchy but I promise you this is not a dig at you

[Down_Rover]

If O 'Shea comes off then what has pleased me is how quiet it was kept, leaving no chance for another club to try to get him. Seem to recall many of our signings happened this way last Summer. Means the regular stories and rumours about players, particularly those playing in the UK ie Gyokeres, Clarke, Kent, Che Adams, can just be quickly forgotton

Gosh. Are we signing Clark Kent?he should be useful

[ClaretTony]

Simple answer to that was Clarke was very much in the public domain and being discussed. I picked it up from the Sunderland press initially and asked my mate if he knew anything.

[Elizabeth]

Thanks , always good to know the background

[clarethomer]

Swansea confirmed with their retained list that Obafemi was retained but would be signing for Burnley. Nothing has been confirmed as yet but he is signing for us.

Agree there is nothing officially confirmed but I saw that they featured Obafemi with Cullen in the recent internationals.

Not sure if there were any loans that had returned to parent clubs just not playing internationally but that pretty much read to me these were the permanent players representing their club.

There was also a Burnley Express article where Obafemi is quoted saying that he is really looking forward to being part of the team and going again in the premier league. https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/fo ... on-4138935

It’s a strange one - we’ve clearly signed him, Swansea confirmed we were going to but we’ve not said anything.

[dermotdermot]

That one was dealt with yesterday. Do try and keep up.

[Targetman]

I believe Southampton have told Nathan Tella he can leave.
