Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

Medical done according to Fabrizio Romano:


No doubt CT's article is ready, just waiting on the official announcement and video.

Today will be forever known as whack em out Wednesday, as Burnley throw 3 separate player reveals out, after weeks of starving their adoring public.

[AGENT_CLARET]

McNally has the potential to be a 10-15m+ pound player if he progresses
over the next two seasons and I suspect VK may well feel that is the case
and I suspect Coventry may well feel the same.
So 5m for him now seems pretty low to me.
Whereas Coventry wanting 15m for Hamer seems excessive to me
especially if he can go for a free next season.
But I can't blame Coventry for holding out for as much as they can get.
I suspect we'd do the same in their position.
Be interesting to see if we go back with a better offer?

Anyone know what's happened to the Arsenal midfielder
(Lokonga, is it?). We seem to have been linked with him for weeks.
Possible loan to buy?

I know I've read on a few Coventry fan site's that they value McNally at around 3m bearing in mind if he continues to improve he'll be worth 20 or 30m within 2 season's

They want a minimum of 15m for a player that if not sold in the next few weeks can sign a pre contract in January and walk for free at the end of this season

I read on one of their forum's one Coventry fan said they'd take Twine McNally and Peacock-Farrell for him, bloody strange lot those Coventry fan's, also one said they should offer him 25k a week and that would blow us out of the water

I hope you are right that today is the day .

[arise_sir_charge]

If they do have 3 to go at I’d not be surprised to see them speed over 3 days.

They’ll do whatever social media experts suggest will give the biggest level of exposure. That could be all 3 in quick succession. I don’t know.

Trafford today as well

Buy back clause for City is triple what we paid apparently

[agreenwood]

Could be a work of ART (Amdouni Redmond Trafford).

[claretburns]

Talk of 3 signings today, Amdouni and Trafford presumably two of them, who is the third?

Redmond. Had his medical yesterday apparently

Of course Redmond, completely forgot about him.

Believe we are getting a 9am announcement video for this one.

[Guller Bull]

Flurry in - Flurry out?

Outgoings soon?
BPF to Wednesday?
Chas to Leeds?
Bobby Thomas to Coventry?
Luke McNally to Millwall?
Wout to Besiktas?

These are the likely ones. How much do you think that will fetch in realistically (not Coventristically.)

Any others that we think might happen in an outward direction?

We certainly need to trim the squad a bit , I would imagine Bastien and Cherlenov as well when fit will be sold.

I'd be surprised if Churlinov and Bastien were Burnley players by the end of this window.
Wouldn't be to shocked to see Twine go to the championship on loan either depending on who we bring in

I would think we need to buy at least one left back before we'd even consider selling Taylor

Cov fans are amongst the most deluded online bunch I have seen. Surprised they didn't suggest Twine, McNally, Peacock-Farrell and Benson + £8 mill for him.

Now confirmed

Incoming...

[Murger]

Not the best release video. But we have another player

[123EasyasBFC]

4 tellytubies, does that mean 4 signings today, Trafford, Redmond and Townsend to come

[Carwin261]

Can’t imagine Churlinov going before the January window ,I think he’ll need to prove his fitness before any move.

[Down_Rover]

Player swap deals seem to be few and far between nowadays. Ultimately, it’s for us to make them an offer and for the selling club to make a decision one way or t’other.
As per normal, what the player wants will have an impact on things, especially when he can walk away for free in less than 12 months time!
Only question now is do we go back in with another offer; say £11 million plus McNally? I reckon that might do it?!

Perhaps we should recall McNally and sell him elsewhere

[Jimscho]

Recall him from where?He isnt on loan is he?

[jlup1980]

Would that be a bad deal for us? BPF isn't going to play and McNally / Twine didn't pull up any trees last season for us. They're both promising players but nothing more at this time. They are a deluded fanbase though. However, Hamer is worth a lot to them. Similar to Diaz at Deadwood last season. Hamer is key to any success Coventry have this season. They have to weigh up whether £10m plus McNally is worth it versus going all out for promotion with Hamer in the team.

[RVclaret]

Athletic update just now re. Maatsen - we are still front runners, though it’s suggested any deal will likely be a season long loan with the £20m ask price deemed too high.

Of course it would be a bad deal. The worst in our history.
What do you value Benson at? Then 8 million + the other players you mention.
The previous poster was just being facetious (I'm sure)

[Guller Bull]

Is Egan Riley going to have a role for us once his injury is cleared or will he be loaned or sold?

[Elizabeth]

I'd be surprised if Churlinov and Bastien were Burnley players by the end of this window.

Would be massively disappointed if Twine is loaned out. There are definitely goals in his free kicks next season.

[Colburn_Claret]

Twine needs to stay here, his potential is massive. I don't think he'll play more than 15 games this season, but he'll learn more in 15 games in the Prem, than a season in the Championship.

[mybloodisclaret]

Agreed.

[BobbyBoucher]

Would be massively disappointed if Twine is loaned out. There are definitely goals in his free kicks next season.

Me too. Can’t believe that we will though. I really think he is one of our players who will really shine in the premier league. From the bits we have seen of him his eye for a disguised pass and angles looks superb. I feel that he will benefit from less of the rough and tumble of the championship

I think you overlooked Benson's name in the (presumably!) facetious post!

[NewClaret]

Athletic update just now re. Maatsen - we are still front runners, though it’s suggested any deal will likely be a season long loan with the £20m ask price deemed too high.

I assume he’s signing a new contract then?

[claretlegend]

A year loan for Maatsen sounds a good idea all round to me. Chelsea want too much for him and it enables us to test if he can handle the premier league.

[bumba]

Would be massively disappointed if Twine is loaned out. There are definitely goals in his free kicks next season.

He won't be going as it stands I think it depends who we bring in, if we bring players in who go ahead of him in the pecking order then I'd imagine a loan would be on the cards to help him progress.
His goals from free kicks only happen if he's on the pitch

Depends really it wasn't a injury it was an illness so not like there's chance of a recurring injury plus he was linked with his previous club so they'll know what he's capable of

[RVclaret]

Isn’t there an option for another year? Sure I read that somewhere.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Would be massively disappointed if Twine is loaned out. There are definitely goals in his free kicks next season.

The way the rumours are going in terms of incomings, I would be amazed if Twine is still here come the end of the window.

With the signing of Amdouni, links to Lokonga, Flemming, Vrankx,

Then the likes of Gudmundsson and Brownhill still in the squad. I just can’t see where Twine fits at all.

CDM - Cork, Cullen, Lokonga, Vrankx, (potentially Brownhill).

CAM - Amdouni, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Flemming

Where do you see him playing if he stays?

[Woonderbah]

I agree.. I've always believed Twine was bought for the Premier League.. his technical abilities are more suited and I hope he'll thrive this season

[Rick_Muller]

We really have some dense fans if they think Twine isn't something special. I personally see him being instrumental for us this season.

I’m thinking Amdouni will play as the deep lying striker tbh, although it does sound like he’s versatile. Not sure we sign all of Lokonga, Vranckx and Flemming. Think 2 more midfield profiles max. Can’t see Cork being overly involved if at all this season. So with all that, Twine will still be in and around the first team I reckon.

[jedi_master]

Twine is a fantastic sub to bring on when chasing a win (or a point). Fling him on for the last 15 and take a few cheaper falls anywhere just outside the box and it’s a goal 1 in 3? You cannot put a price on that ability and it’s transferable to any league. He would be on my 9 man bench every game next season, no doubt at all.
