Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

He’s had ample time over the summer to get married! I find it strange that this has happened during a time when he should be working. Are we going to give him some extra time off to honeymoon too?

Cullen, Vitinho, al-dakhil and Massengo all got married this summer and managed to make it back to pre season on time

[JarrowClaret]

He missed his scheduled flight didn't he? Was a last day rush if I remember correctly.

Yeh I seem to remember Matt Williams talking about that doesn’t mean he was reluctant to move, although I accept that could be the reason but it is more likely an indication of crap admin.

[Juan Tanamera]

Hull Vice Chair has said Boro are leading the way foer Conway

Obviously he'd be in the know, wouldn't he?

[Wokingclaret]

Obviously he'd be in the know, wouldn't he?

well, admittedly it is the crappy gazette

An excellent post JarrowClaret.
A refreshing view as opposed to some of nonsense posted on here by some who know nothing of Tresor's personal situation.

Ta I don’t care about the nonsense so much it is only an opinion, but I know what you mean some absolute ******** is written about him and others.

How do you know?
They may have only recently met

[jrgbfc]

His injury might be that serious he isn't even fit to start his rehab yet?

[123EasyasBFC]

Liverpool getting 27m for Carvalho means we should absolutely not sell Odobert for anything less than 25m

[morninbob]

It's 20 plus 7, but yeah I agree, minimum of 25m for odebert.

[blatherwickstattoos]

if you look at the videos of him in pre-season he has spent a lot of time doing exactly that

Seen today he defo has

[Jakubs Tash]

Seen today he defo has

Al Dakhil is certainly quite ‘wirey’. But when the team photo came out at the start of last season I remember saying to my dad that Al Dakhil was the one with the widest shoulders in the whole photo. He’s a big lad. He just needs to learn to be more aggressive and use his size to his advantage.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Heard he got injured on his honeymoon during the first evening. The mind boggles.

[claretskeith]

For me, it's £40m plus.

[Steddyman]

For me, it's £40m plus.

That's a ridiculous valuation. One season in one of the poorest teams in Premier League history, with 3 goals in 29 games.

Erm.. that's the whole bloody point.

[burnmark]

Sheffield United bid for Oxlade Chamberlain on loan - Nixon

[Steddyman]

At this rate Sheffield are going to have an entire first team made up of loans.

[FeedTheArf]

For me, it's £40m plus.

Wow

[Ric_C]

Looks like Hamer is off as his release clause of 17 million has been met by Forest and Ipswich

Good news for us

[NewClaret]

Great news for us. He’ll go Forest, I imagine, but Ipswich are throwing some cash about.

Already signed Delap, Greaves and Hamer would be a 3rd above anything we paid last summer. Shows what you’re dealing with.

In some ways does make me think our strategy of buying them young from foreign leagues while they’re cheap is the better one.

Greaves, for example, looks good in the air but slow as sheet. I think he’ll be tore a new one in the prem and they’ve spent £18.5m on him!

[Newcastleclaret93]

I’m actually surprised they have let him go.

From the sounds of it he’s been a star player (as well as Elliott) in pre season.

Not exactly a mind blowing sum either for a young lad.

Must just be Arne Slot has decided he doesn’t want him and needs the funds

[Woodleyclaret]

Ipswich will be straight down and Forest will struggle as will Everton imo.

[RVclaret]

Reliable sources from Sheffield suggest his release clause has expired at 12am today.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Think Everton will be pretty comfortable this season.

I’m interested in seeing how McNeil gets on in his new role. He’s been playing as a ten in pre season and from all accounts has looked pretty good.

That's not a new role. He mainly played centrally until he got closer to our first team where he was played out wide more.

Dyche did that with a number of players to adapt them to his rigid system. Gudmundson, Airfield and Boyd are all other examples. It obviously worked wonders for the system but I don't think it did any favors to those players individual performances. I think Dyche is finally adapting a bit more now he has better players under his disposal.

Think that’s one of them fake transfer pages, the same page said Redmond is going on loan to Birmingham

[Quicknick]

Dyche did quite a bit of adapting the season we finished seventh.

Yeah he liked Hendrick in that number 10 role because he was so good at picking up the loose ball.

[Quicknick]

Hendrick was much underrated.

[bobinho]

He was a decent player, underrated by many, but appreciated by those who could see his worth.
Thing is with Burnley, you have to be exceptional at something. Defour had the class, Marney had the graft rate, but Jeff was just a steady 7/10 most weeks. Thing is, he was Dyches Mr versatile and was asked to play all over the place…sometimes to the players detriment.

Love him or hate him, but some of his goals in that Dyche era were from a player who undoubtedly had huge skill

[Terry Cochrane]

Conway still on?

It’s a new role on the basis he’s pretty much never played there in his professional career.

Probably better for us that he goes to Boro and we get the cash for Twine/McNally.

Yeah I didn't think Greaves looked up too much when we played Hull in the 22/23 season - I think he will struggle

[summitclaret]

Think is, should we lose Berge and/or Josh, we nay need Twine

[TopCat]

Twine is not a replacement for Berge or Brownhill

[NewClaret]

Yes, especially as Ipswich play out from the back. Slow & slow on the turn is my view (good in the air). I think he’ll get murdered, but let’s see. Will admit if I’m wrong.

When Ipswich are paying £18.5m for Greaves, I cannot understand it when people think £20m for O’Shea is outrageous. Especially when we got £22.5m for half-a-season Collins when we went down last time.

FWIW, it also shows how one good season in the Championship and players are going for £18.5m. For that reason, I’d keep hold of the likes of Twine & McNally myself, but realise that’s highly unlikely now.

[Woodleyclaret]

Everton without Branthwaite and Dwight in cm is a recipe for disaster.

[summitclaret]

Twine is not a replacement for Berge or Brownhill

He can play as attacking cm, as can the other 2. Our downfall last season was in part due to trying to shoehorn 2 of our many wingers and Amdouni into the same team, thus getting overrun in cm.

[quoonbeatz]

I know you don't watch us but some of his best games for burnley were when he played centrally.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I know you don't watch us but some of his best games for burnley were when he played centrally.

Out of Mcneils 222 professional apps he has played 4 games centrally.

So yes it is a new position for him. I really don’t know what’s debatable about this

[quoonbeatz]

You've answered your own question.

[Quicknick]

Love him or hate him, but some of his goals in that Dyche era were from a player who undoubtedly had huge skill

There was one he took on the volley as the ball came over his shoulder from the back. Absolutely brilliant goal. I forget who it was against.

Against Bournemouth. Think it was even our GOTS.

Looks like we're back in for the lad from palace, probably on loan

Rak Sakyi another winger
