Has Trafford actually signed for Newcastle yet ?

Has Trafford actually signed for Newcastle yet ?

He won’t do now, they have 4 senior keepers. They probs thought wiser than spending 20m on a number 2 or 3

Celtic want £30m for O’Reilly and some think O’Shea is only worth £15m.

Celtic can’t have it both ways!

O’Shea has played at a higher level than O’Reilly.

This is it. I know it’s easy to over value players but when you look at what others want for theirs we also need to expect big money for ours.

Matt williams said the new LB would need to be approved by the new HC. So that is a sign we have got one.

any good ?

Suggests Bellamy has got the nod maybe?

[CrosspoolClarets]

Pires played a lot of minutes in La Liga last season.

By all accounts he is fast and a decent crosser, so in those two attributes is an upgrade on Charlie. In other aspects we will have to wait and see.

If I find myself being too happy I always remind myself: Log on to Uptheclarets and hunt down Vegas Claret's posts to put myself back on track.

We really need to get Dyche back in the building to get someone looking into the characters of who we sign again.

First thing I looked up was his height. So far so good. Off to find a video now

Ticks my boxes: tall, quick, whips in lethal crosses.

Yep really pleased he is a big lad, you would imagine playing in La Liga would require a decent amount of ability on the ball too

This could be for them, like us taking Grezza. Still a player in there I’m absolutely sure.

Yes, runs with it a lot. Videos are from 2022 though so old but looks physically right. Happy with this signing.

He's Brazilian, he only cost 2.5 million....

Can't wait for the video.

[boyyanno]

Just watched a few videos on the left back and I have to say he looks very good. Obviously it's difficult to tell but looks to carry the ball well and puts good crosses in. We will have to wait and see how he is defensively but he looks tall for a full back which will help add some height.

Disappointed to lose Taylor who is also a good player in the right system but I think we could have got a gem here.

Spoke to a Cadiz fan briefly on X (as you do) and he rated him for them and commented on his good attitude too. This is despite them being relegated. Said he likes getting up and down the wing a lot and crosses with good technique.

Are we allowed to express concerns over these attitude issues and the club's long history of hard-working togetherness being steadily dismantled the last few years, or will we be called bedwetters?

I'll give him a chance, before anyone asks, but we've had a number of signings the last couple years who've either had attitude issues or haven't shown the best attitude on the pitch for Burnley. Assignon was embarrassing. And we don't (currently) have a Dyche in post who did alright with sorting the few problem characters that came in.

South American playing in Spain - I would imagine hard as nails but struggles to stay on his feet like every South American who plays in Spain. You don't play a season in La Liga if you are crap, it's a top league.

Oh on talent levels he sounds exciting, I'm not disputing that at all. Just the attitude thing made me hesitant. Great individuals don't always make a great team and all that.

That is indeed random haha, but always good to get feedback from other fans.

Looks like he can use his right foot as well, putting in a decent cross.

On the video I watched I only saw that once, but picked up on it. Brilliant trait if he’s confident crossing with both feet.

Well I would say our last Brazilian has an absolutely fantastic attitude and would run through a brick wall for the shirt, so let’s hope he does too.

[California Claret]

Can he take a throw in?

He looks fast and it seems like he can put a decent ball into the box. Hopefully he can adapt to the Championship. He looks like a decent signing for the money.

[Hipper]

I’ve been told to expect an entirely new goalkeeping department for this season with all 4 recognised senior keepers set to leave.

May be our tactical development is going even further then before and we are dispensing with goalkeepers altogether to employ an outfield player to act as goalkeeper when required. The old 'Rush' goalie of the past!

[Poulton-le-Claret]

My Orient supporting mate at work says they are expecting Vigoroux to return to them.

That would probably be a good move. He is however contracted to us till 2026 so I would think there will be a small fee involved?

You would hope we will.

As I said yesterday, I understand that being a 2nd/3rd choice in the Championship (on 50% of the wages) might not be as attractive as playing on likely similar wages, but he looks a decent enough keeper as back up to me. We’re likely going to have to pay to replace him so we shouldn’t be giving him away. We need to get a fee that equals what it’ll cost to replace him. Or he stays.

[CoolClaret]

Having two Brazilian fullbacks on either side of the pitch is something that I never thought I'd see at Burnley.

Next Cafu and Carlos?

Something tells me it’ll be Sambo and Pires in the FB positions. Vitinho very able at Chanpionship level though.

Ex Claret Aiden O’Neill linked with a move back to the UK:

Yeah as NC says above, we need to be getting a fee really. The Orient fan is buzzing about possibly getting him back, I think he said he was their player of the season for 3 years on the spin before joining us.
