Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[BobSykes]

Christ on a bike. Been away a couple of days and come back to Armageddon.

I'm still struggling to take in what I've been reading on here. This season could shape up as calamitously as the last one!

Stunned.

[quoonbeatz]

Worrall is a cracking replacement for O’Shea. Will be an ideal partner for Esteve. A proper replacement for Berge would be nice.

[LongsideClaret]

Al-dakhil to Germany turfcast saying, fits in with what longside said

€10m plus another few in add ons.

[Pickles]

He's not good on the training ground

Or on match day, for anything much longer than twenty minutes.

[123EasyasBFC]

Suddenly the 10m compensation for kompany seems low for the mess he has left us in

[RVclaret]

€10m plus another few in add ons.

That’s a solid fee to be fair.

Give over. Burnley buy low, develop, sell high. Do it all again. This is what is supposed to happen. Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

[NewClaret]

€10m plus another few in add ons.

Also heard we got a very good fee.

Very good player and I’d have much preferred we kept him over signing Worrall.

Think this will prove to be cheap as chips in time. Hope there’s a decent sell-on.

[123EasyasBFC]

€10m plus another few in add ons.

Very good deal

[boyyanno]

That’s a solid fee to be fair.

The winger is Sarmiento I believe. Someone I know at the club seems to think he was there yesterday.

[Flying Without Ings]

Really rated AAD. Probably wasn’t prem-ready last season though. How much did we pay for him?

[kentonclaret]

United In Focus this morning reporting the Burnley interest in Hannibal, arguing that United should accept any reasonable offer with both hands to get the player out of the club as any offers for the player’s services have been few and far between and he clearly has no future at Old Trafford.

[ksrclaret]

Al-Dakhil going as well is disappointing.

Unbelievable stuff in the last 24 hours. Chaos.

[Longsider]

Maybe there’s a reason another manager is looking to get rid of Benson.

Amazing goals but was always waiting for him to go off limping. I think he is fragile at times.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Have I just heard Fulham have pulled out of the deal for Berge on talksport ?? Couldn’t tell what they said on the news bit

[Big Vinny K]

Really rated AAD. Probably wasn’t prem-ready last season though. How much did we pay for him?

Around £5m from memory. He was one of the January window signings I think with Lyle Foster.

[Tall Paul]

lol

[Longsider]

If they have then its a worry because it points to a possible problem with the medical.

[RVclaret]

Good player but more of a left wing cut inside type. Thought we’d want the same but on the right, particularly if Benson is going. Perhaps Koleosho goes to that side.

[123EasyasBFC]

I think it was that they pulled out of the deal for mctom to sign Berge

[Rick_Muller]

I'm listening to that and I didn't hear any reference to Berge

[Rick_Muller]

that sounds like what I heard

[NewClaret]

Good player but more of a left wing cut inside type. Thought we’d want the same but on the right, particularly if Benson is going. Perhaps Koleosho goes to that side.

Sums up my thoughts perfectly.

Not enamoured and not sure where it leaves Koleosho or Anass. Not convinced he’s a huge upgrade on either.

He was the one most strongly linked but others mentioned. Not sure if they were alternatives or as well as.

[TheFamilyCat]

With so many of the players departing (or strongly rumoured to be leaving) that have actually featured in the first 2 games, it feels like they were just being put in the shop window rather than being identified as part of our squad for the coming season.
Nobody right now has a clue who will be lining up on Saturday at Sunderland, probably not even Scott Parker.

Maybe not to be put in the shop window, but more to make a point that they are part of our plans and not sold cheaply.

Or could just be that while they are BFC players they are expected to do the job they are paid to do.

[blatherwickstattoos]

I think it was that they pulled out of the deal for mctom to sign Berge

Cheers mate I couldn’t tell in this van I’m in

[123EasyasBFC]

Sarmiento is another talent who needs a prem move with all brightons options, yes he does come in from the left but so did Odobert and he played central against Luton, I really think Sarmiento could play the Odobert role easily and he’s home grown

[AGENT_CLARET]

If they have then its a worry because it points to a possible problem with the medical.

Or Utd have bid higher

[Colburn_Claret]

It could turn into a shop, rotating stock, as opposed to a club.

So it has always been for a club Burnleys size. It's just for 30 years we lost the ability to find gems and sell them on.

People panicking far too soon at all the rumours. We won't know what is true until the window closes, but ask yourself when did we last have a squad with so many sought after players. We are victims of our own success in many ways, so the recruitment team must be getting something right.
It's never easy to say goodbye to our stars, but those old enough to remember Dobson, Stevens, James, Coates, Connelly, McIlroy....... it's nothing new. Keep the faith. UTC

[EarbyClaret]

Ipswich used Sarmiento mainly on the right - I'm told he's equally comfortable on the left

[KRBFC]

Joe Worrall is the centre back replacement for O’Shea. Someone nowhere near capable in the Prem. Meh.

So we sell (on the cheap) our young improving central defender who is good enough for the PL and replace him with a cheap older player who isn’t good enough for the PL.

But we want to be a PL club? Makes sense to me

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Really rated AAD. Probably wasn’t prem-ready last season though. How much did we pay for him?

Kompany ruined him last season playing him full back.

[CalamityClaret]

If I had a wife and kids, I wouldn't be considering a move to Saudi unless it's 20x my current wages.

I don't know you know he's probably already on 20x your current wages

[Pearcey]

Not young? 27 would be a spring chicken in the Dyche-days!

Tarky, Keane, Collins and Gibson were a lot younger when Dyche signed them.

[RVclaret]

Ipswich used Sarmiento mainly on the right - I'm told he's equally comfortable on the left

According to Transfermrkt he played every single game on the left for Ipswich.

[TheFamilyCat]

If Benson and Vitinho go, who exactly do we have left who can play on the right?

We are allowed to sign players, as well as sell.

[Murger]

Kompany ruined him last season playing him full back.

Didn’t he play all across the backline?

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Didn’t he play all across the backline?

He started centre half then for some unknown reason we tried him at full back. At one point he couldn’t even take a throw in.

[ksrclaret]

Didn’t he play all across the backline?

At one point he was even being used at left back and being asked to step into midfield like Maatsen did for us. Against Tottenham he was asked to play the second half at right wing back in a shape we’d never used before. He got pulled up for a foul throw 2 minutes into that role.

Pathetic from Kompany and by the time he was dropped his confidence was absolutely shot at.

[Murger]

He started centre half then for some unknown reason we tried him at full back. At one point he couldn’t even take a throw in.

Yep. What Kompany did to him last season was ridiculous.

[Guller Bull]

More on Hannibal and Berge

Similarly with our links to Hannibal from Manchester United. Proven that he can play and perform well at Championship level (Birmingham), but found severely wanting when stepping up, as his limited game time at Old Trafford and disappointing loan spell at Sevilla shows.

[Big Vinny K]

Didn’t he play all across the backline?

Played him at right back at the start of the season.
I think it was against Spurs where he could not even throw the ball properly - let alone kick it straight. Did not help him that Trafford was playing suicidal passes to him 20 yards from his own goal with multiple Spurs players pressing him. It was beyond ridiculous and led directly to the Maddison goal in that game.
VK’s fault 100%.

[mdd2]

Baggies in for a windfall as they get 20% of any profit on O'Shea. If we sell for £15 we only get our £7 + £6.4 million

[Guller Bull]

and more on Vitinho (probably nowt new)

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/brazi ... r-vitinho/

[kentonclaret]

Interesting that Ipswich didn’t extend or renew any interest in a longer deal if he was an ever present for them last season.

[NewClaret]

That’s a solid fee to be fair.

Big club as well

[TopCat]

Has JBL not been snapped up yet?

[Andreshotboots]

Although a seemingly crazy 24 hours, I don't think we need to hit the panic button. We have a manager who has won 2 Championship promotions, and I don't think for 1 second he won't have been consulted regarding all these outgoings.

It's also highly likely now this will free space for him to bring in 4/5 of his own signings so I'm actually looking forward to the next few days..

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Really rated AAD. Probably wasn’t prem-ready last season though. How much did we pay for him?

I think it was around £4m

[IanMcL]

Worrall was decent for Forest, however, it does beg the question as to why are we losing a, now, very decent CB and spending the funds on 2 lesser beings?

Quality out quantity in. How many centre backs does a club need????
