[summitclaret]

Dirty Leeds may still want Roberts and Charlie? No way we'll let Charlie go atm surely.

The intensity of the PL and Championship are two different things especially when you’re having 80% of the ball in the Championship.

Also he hasn’t had any pre season, we’ve all heard several times from different players how important pre season is.

I get both points, but he's had long enough of the season to get a pretty good level of fitness and has featured on the bench, so what's the point if vk has no intension of playing him, especially when as I say neither of the 2 I've mentioned have shown any reason why they should be any further up the pecking order than him, also a similar sort of issue going on with zaroury /tresor, but I believe zaroury and Benson are best played together, threat of quality on both sides, very difficult for teams to 2 up on both sides for long periods of the game.

Graeme Bailey saying we are trying to land Ohare this month.

A bizarre signing if true

Graeme Bailey saying we are trying to land Ohare this month.

Depends.

We’re in all likelihood going to be playing at that level next year and he is a very good, experienced Championship player.

If you anticipate Amdouni having a good second half of the season and potentially losing him, having O’Hare and Twine competing for the 10 role would be good.

Leicester and Southampton also allegedly interested so maybe we’re trying to leverage our current PL status to tempt him?

I don’t think Coventry will sell now, so an alternative view is that it’s posturing given we’re likely to be swapping places with other teams that are interested and presumably want to sow we’ve had a long term interest in him.

Or it’s just made up.

[BigGaz]

I'm not sure tbh.

People keep telling me the likes of Tresor and Amdouni are going to be off but I don't see anyone taking them at the price we're going to want for them. Absolute best case scenario those lads could hope for is a season on loan somewhere where they get in form and get themselves a transfer that works for them and us at the end of it. If that happens it makes sense.

If that doesn't happen they're going to be slumming it with the rest of us and then it makes no sense.

I hope so. Hed go straight in ahead of Amdouni for me.

I personally think both will be loaned out

Good point could be a signing with next season in mind.

It just seems a strange signing giving the holes at full back and cm

I don’t see anyone saying Tresor will be off Hopefully we’re not obliged to buy him if relegated though.

Amdouni I think it depends. If he bags 10 over the season I think there will be suitors in a relegated team. Everyone knows he’d score more in a better side. But from our perspective maybe a loan to another Prem club would work best to give him the experience, I agree. Our issue is lack of experience at this level and I wouldn’t be against that for one or two of our young but inexperienced players.

[BigGaz]

I've seen a few, though perhaps I should've said Berge or Better for a clear example.

I see what you mean about Amdouni but unless he finds a willingness to graft and get involved in different transitions of the game OR finds a team in the PL that is willing to give him less responsibility for defending from the front then I don't think he's a Premier League footballer.

That's not to say I don't think he's a good footballer, but at this point his style seems more suited to a league where the playing style is less quick/chaotic

[gandhisflipflop]

Come on Burnley get some ******* full backs in ffs

[NewClaret]

I honestly don’t think we’re in a position to just dip in to the market and buy premier league ready players for those positions.

They’re few and far between, they cost a shed load, we’re probably not wanting to take big risks on players and we’re not a very attractive prospect at the moment.

Not saying we’re not looking, and loans are the obvious solution (I’m not really a big fan of displacing our own players with loans, mind) but I think there’s an element that may be “pick up what you can get” in this window.

[Vegas Claret]

I agree with you, that's at least twice this week we've agreed on football

[Vegas Claret]

bit of a surprise (if accurate) that he's only on 32k a week

I've seen this mentioned a few times R:E Tresor, can someone clarify but I thought we had actually signed him now? I could have swore we turned him permanent just after the window closed?

[TopCat]

Tresor is already a permanent signing.

I’m not really talking about prem ready players, just ones that are suited to VKs style. If we don’t sign a left back in the next few days we will have gone a whole season with a left back we know doesn’t suit his system.

[boyyanno]

Thankyou, I thought so.

[NewClaret]

No, we signed him on loan.

What happened is that a Belgian journalist (respected if I remember correctly) reported that by making 5 appearances we were “locked in” to signing him permanently for £13.9m (if I remember correctly).

What I don’t think we know is whether remaining in the premier league was an additional condition, in which case we may not be obliged to sign him, or not doing so potentially reduces/extends the timing over which the fee is due. I’d like to think we included some protections, personally, but who knows.

[Swizzlestick]

Tresor is already a permanent signing.

Where have you seen this? He's still on loan from what I can see with an obligation to buy in June 2024 (subject to currently unknown conditions).

[NewClaret]

That’s fair enough. I’d like to think we could use our current status to bring in some to develop, yes.

Although I think “his system” is a somewhat fluid concept atm.

[NewClaret]

Tresor is already a permanent signing.

Pretty sure we haven’t and my explanation above is the latest information we have on the subject.

[Big Vinny K]

I thought it was widely reported that after his 5th appearance Burnley were under an obligation to sign him permanently which it was also reported we did at the end of October

Though there could be a relegation clause (usually they are in favour of the player though)

[claptrappers_union]

We've already triggered the clause to buy him, according to reports

"The report claims that the transfer of the winger to Turf Moor contained a clause stating that the Clarets would complete the full purchase of the player should he feature in five Premier League matches."

I'm not sure if it was the same source but that's what I thought had been reported.

I can't seem to find anything official though.

[123EasyasBFC]

I could actually see muric being number 1 against next season, as despite his short comings in games I could really see a prem club signing Trafford even as a number 2 because he’s home grown

[Woodleyclaret]

Amdouni is a good option why anyone wants him gone is beyond me. Ohare would be a good signing perhaps sweeten the deal with Ramsay.

Ramsey won’t be going anywhere for a year or three.

Coventry have said they are not selling at any price, promotion is more important than a few million now..... We'll see

O'Hare on the bench for Cov tonight

I believe he will not sign a contract with Coventry City.

[jedi_master]

If it’s a good price considering his contract situation, I’d be all for that. I don’t think any signing keeps us up but he would be great for us next season regardless. Sensible business.

[Quickenthetempo]

Be a decent free signing in the summer, as you could sell him for 3/4 million in the future.

No point now for 2m or so, he's not getting in the side at the minute.

[123EasyasBFC]

I would be “Very” surprised if O’Hare is not in our squad for the City game. Things happening

Nixon also saying we aren’t interested in o’hare

[123EasyasBFC]

If dewsbury-hall goes to Brighton from Leicester for 30m can see them going straight in for o’hare
