Too late....signing for sporting

Don’t see anything to say it’s a done deal with sporting

[Newcastleclaret93]

Still their player at present I think....

Fair point

[123EasyasBFC]

Tresor looking unlikely from what I’ve been told at this point, hence the recent bids for Flemming. I’d love us to be in for Gyokeres (though not been told anything to back this up) and it would make sense as a cash plus McNally bid, especially given how well stocked we are at CB.

Don’t think tresor ever seemed realistic, flemming would be an interesting signing, really rate him as a player, especially in the style of football he was at last season. Have you been told flemming is likely along with Clarke or one or the other

[NewClaret]

Sorry to come across all “football expert” but I’ve been aware of Vranckx for years.

Admittedly because he came to my attention for this greatest miss of all time contender…

Crikey, that’s a shocker. I’d have backed myself to score that…

It certainly looks that way.

[Quicknick]

It certainly looks that way.

Who's signing for Sporting Lisbon?

The two Flemming bids were genuine. Don’t know if we are making another. Also Tella deal being worked on and it sounds more positive than is being reported

[Lancasterclaret]

Gyorkes

[Lubanski]

Asterix the goal. (Gaul)
Get mi coat!

I heard today that tella definitely wants to come back to us and that a deal just needs sorting out between the 2 clubs might be wrong though so will see

Thanks longside, tella and flemming would be great

[Dark Cloud]

I would suggest it's pretty much a given that Tella WANTS to come, but making it happen so that Soton are happy with what they're receiving and we're not having our bottoms smacked with what we're paying is likely to be a huge stumbling block, especially as he's already a proven Championship goalscorer and they're going to need one.

[ashtonlongsider]

I'd personally take Tella any day of the week over Gyokeres if either was possible.

[123EasyasBFC]

Question is would everyone take signing tella, Clarke and flemming if it meant we didn’t sign a number 9 and we kept weghorst instead, because I would certainly take that

[ksrclaret]

Tella and Flemming would be a great pair of signings for the attacking slots, and complementary as well. Tella we know adds such pace and dynamism, and is a very sound finisher, whilst Flemming appears to be a more physical, technical link man dropping deep and arriving late on.

Not sure on Flemming's pressing ability, but we know Tella adds that in spades as well. I sincerely hope we get both of them.

[RVclaret]

Sacha confirming our interest in Vranckx.

Sacha now saying there is interest the Wolfsburg player

Says the deal is "really likely "

Yeah that’s it the deal definitely will be a hard one because of what he did last season. I was told it was a lot of add ons that Southampton wanted in the deal which was holding it up

[Newcastleclaret93]

Sounds like VK has personally called him

[Newcastleclaret93]

Guy that broke the story is saying VK is calling him tonight to convince him to come

[gandhisflipflop]

Calling who?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Calling who?

Vrankx

[Nori1958]

Guy that broke the story is saying VK is calling him tonight to convince him to come

At half-time or full time?

[RVclaret]

At half-time or full time?

Belgium game finished a couple of hours ago

[123EasyasBFC]

Guy that broke the story is saying VK is calling him tonight to convince him to come

Just finished playing for Belgium u21s and they lost so tonight might not be a good time to call

[Newcastleclaret93]

At half-time or full time?

Already finished hasn’t it

[Quicknick]

Calling who?

That's what I want to know: Tella or Vrankz?
Edit: got it.

[NewClaret]

Just finished playing for Belgium u21s and they lost so tonight might not be a good time to call

Google tells me it he scored 4/5, joint highest scorer in the Belgium team. So maybe he’ll be pleased with his performance and in a good mood.

Did anyone watch the match? Any scouting reports?

[Paul Waine]

Just finished playing for Belgium u21s and they lost so tonight might not be a good time to call

A call from a Belgium legend won't be a bad thing whatever the result for Belgium U21 team, surely?

[randomclaret2]

Maybe Al Dhakil could have a word as well

[123EasyasBFC]

A call from a Belgium legend won't be a bad thing whatever the result for Belgium U21 team, surely?

Exactly that, if that doesn’t cheer him up then

[123EasyasBFC]

Amongst a day of new arrival, new training kit video on YouTube, new sponsor and a new Belgium player link we are forgetting that we are still waiting to see if this deal for Big Brunn Larsen is actually a thing or not, we need the ‘article prepared’ line from Tony

[warksclaret]

Guy that broke the story is saying VK is calling him tonight to convince him to come

Did he say what VK had eaten for his dinner

[COBBLE]

Is there a particularly Belgian equivalent of the omelette?

[warksclaret]

Is there a particularly Belgian equivalent of the omelette?

Good question, but based on some of the petty arguing on here maybe a Waffle ??

[Colburn_Claret]

Portugal win with an 89th min penalty.
Some things never change.

[Selby Claret]

Maatsen came on for the Dutch whose line up included:

Wouter Burger
Quilindschy Hartman
Kenneth Taylor
Brian Brobbey

It’s like 2004 Pro Evo all over again

Really hope Maatsen signs for east Lancashire clarets this window

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Obafemi was confirmed a couple of weeks ago by Burnley, they said promotion had triggered the commitment to buy.

Flemish Stew
Fries with lashings of mayonnaise on them

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Spurs signing Maddison for £40 million....

I'm wondering if he's worth that, only had a year left on his contract and he wasn't all that last season

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Connor Coady (30) available for around £4m
Reasonably cheap for someone with plenty of PL experience and would make our CB's up to four without having to loan THB again

Going to Leicester by the looks of it

[Nori1958]

I've never seen anything from Burnley,( I may have missed it) the only official mention I've seen was Swansea when he was on their retained list. I would have thought on or after 1st July would have been when it would be official

[JarrowClaret]

Maddison was excellent last season the rest of the Leicester team was a disaster though, I do agree 40 Mill is a lot for someone in the last year of contract, they will get a very good player for there money though.

[Woodleyclaret]

Vardys legs have gone along with his ability to con penalties. This led to Leicesters demise

[Tricky Trevor]

Leicesters demise took the same path as ours and Stoke Citys. Too many players past their best, too many players in last year of contract and too many players that just didn’t want to be there. Not the basis for a happy, committed dressing room.

[Tricky Trevor]

Remarkable down turn in Coadys fortunes. Getting rave reviews as Wolves captain and making England squads, new manager comes in drops him, then shipped out to Everton where SD drops him now going down to championship level. Has to be better than that. Maybe his legs have gone? The guys that see him training every day would know.

[123EasyasBFC]

There seems to be a lot of players with only 12 months left on their contacts who are demanding huge fees.
There is no way that united should be spending 55mil+ on mount when they could get him for free in the summer, likewise Kane.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

He tailed off final 3rd of the season I thought, he even admitted they hadn’t been good enough and were complacent
