Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[KlyBfc]

Just been reading a few bits about Worrell.
Got in the champ team of the season when promoted with Forest, captained them and played majority of games the foest season in the prem (staying up).
At Besiktas played 6 times and was steady enough . Couple of fans thought he was better than their starters but the club didnt want to sign him long term so he ended up being a bit part squad filler.

I don’t want to lose Dara but ill be content if we get an experienced leader at a good age (like Worrall is) to replace him.

[dcunningham27]

mirror reporting that we are after £15mil for o'shea

[KlyBfc]

Hopefully speculation about O Shea going, will not happen. Would mean Oshea and Esteve as our starting two, Worrall as stand in if injuries, Humphreys battling with Worrall for this, but he provides cover in both full back positions too, which is great as Vitinho is at his best wide midfield. Means McNally and Al Dakhill can go, and hopefully Decroix too (but may be hard if injured). I think if Beyer ever gets fit then a loan out in Jan for game time. If someone did come in for silly money for O Shea then we have good cover in Worrall, but Esteve going too is absolutely crazy.

This is an ideal situation for me, maybe apart from loaning Beyer out.

[123EasyasBFC]

My mate said someone at the club has said ‘lad from Brighton is looking good’

But you have both accounts of sheff united and Leeds on X saying they are close to agreeing to

[CaptainKirk]

Over a hundred pages of waffle where every man and his dog has an opinion about every player (past, present and perhaps future) and all get it completely wrong - again. You have to laugh.

Still, a part of me thinks I am missing out so:

My mate down the pub heard from someone in the Ticket Office that we are in for Pope to replace Trafford.
Benson is going to Southport and Brett Ormerod is coming in as cover.
Kai Rooney is coming on a trial.
We are signing Ronaldinho's son .......nah, getting silly now.

Sit back and enjoy the ride!

[burnley007]

Haven't seen much chatter recently on Oshea leaving, is this a real possibility? I really hope not.

I think 5 CBs of Steeeve, Oshea, Worrall, Humphreys and Jordan is pretty outstanding. If we can sell all of the others for a reasonable amount it looks good business.

[Darnhill Claret]

ÀND Esteve?

[123EasyasBFC]

Hannibal also out with United first team squad last night so that deal isn’t close yet

[warksclaret]

Looks like we are looking for £15m to sell O Shea, as several clubs have enquired. If he goes to Wolves or Brentford , its a high price for these two clubs for a back up, and he definitely would not be starting for a while. Ben Mee was a sub on Sunday and I think O Shea would be behind him in the pecking order. On Sunday Craig Dawson was a sub for Wolves-again O Shea would be behind Dawson who played almost every game for them last season.

Having watched all the PL games last week both clubs will be under the cosh defensively.. O Shea will strongly benefit with another season in the Championship, as I fear he will be badly exposed at this stage of his career if he moves. Any mistakes he made with us last year were almost acceptable as we were an absolutely dire team, but with these two clubs it would be different

[Woodleyclaret]

Steve is a class defender and we would be crazy to sell him

[burnley007]

Steve is a class defender and we would be crazy to sell him

Absolutely %

[Steddyman]

I would expect we value Steve at £30m+. I can't see him going for less.

[burnmark]

Bristol City want McNally. £2m but we want £3m - Nixon

[kentonclaret]

Just plain bonkers to sell O’Shea for a reported £15m less the sell-on fee.
Far more valuable to Burnley as a leader on the pitch and to try and secure a return to the PL where he will again have a part to play.

Fully agree.

Perfect replacement for DOS.

Leadership
Experience
Aeriel ability
Promoted from Champ
Captain material

With the introduction of Humphries we are also much more balanced as a squad with another left sided centre half/left back.

The fee doesn't unduly surprise/worry me tbh, essentially its a swap out of AAD for £10m plus and Humphries comes in to replace as a left sided defender to balance the squad.

DOS improved dramatically when he had Esteve next to him.

Two right sided centre halves messed us up big style last season and it is obviously a signing/sale to rectify that issue if Esteve was injured.

The bonus with Humphries is that he is capable of playing acroos the whole back four.

Very savvy signings IMO

[kentonclaret]

Hannibal also out with United first team squad last night so that deal isn’t close yet

Maybe it was his leaving do

Worral is a proven leader on the pitch. Sean tried to sign him multiple times when we were in the Premier league. I've come to trust Sean's judgement when it comes to defenders.

[Darnhill Claret]

We just need the 4 centre backs, Beyer can go if he ever regains fitness. Our 4 centre backs are in the building now. Just need to kidnap Dara and Steve until the end of the month.

[Tinribs]

Why are people losing there **** over Esteve leaving where there has not been a single comment from someone with connections to suggest he is?

We will be losing Al Dakhil and O'Shea, and getting two defenders in.

I'm actually encouraged by the fact that unlike last season in the Championship, we are signing players with Premier League experience.

Totally agree and with Delacroix injured makes sense to bring a left sided centre half in,Esteve going nowhere and we finally look like we are creating a balance,which Kompany neglected

Another Championship level player that will be found wanting in the PL if we go up this season.
At least Dara has performed adequately at PL level which is why several other PL clubs want his services.

[RVclaret]

Bristol City want McNally. £2m but we want £3m - Nixon

Id have taken 2m to be fair. Deal gets done there you’d think.

[RHansburyEsq]

Blooming heck some catastrophising going on around these parts

We need to get there first.

Cross that bridge etc etc

Almost as shocking as your goalkeeping Roger

Aye well, ‘we’ played together a few times billy so you should know

Same view, mix of experience needed with the talent we have, happy with this signing if true.

[Duffer_]

Not sure I'd describe 9 first team CBs as being balanced but appreciate there will be outgoings and we have no real idea on the fitness of at least 4 of the 9.

[warksclaret]

Id have taken 2m to be fair. Deal gets done there you’d think.

Now its in the open then Stoke might step in, but having worked with Bristol City recently over Twine you would hope there is some trust and good relationship

[ŽižkovClaret]

Bristol City want McNally. £2m but we want £3m - Nixon

2m with 50% of any profit sell-on, deal

Just doesn’t work does it. I mean, we knew all about the likes of Benson, Zaroury, Odobert, Koleosho, Foster, Estève, Beyer etc etc so that’s ok.

I still can't for the life of me see why any young ambitious player would go and play in Scotland over the Championship.

I know there's been the odd exeption, but the Championship is a huge shop window in comparison.to the ever declining Scottish Premiership..

Can understand why they’d pick Celtic over the championship to be fair.

We are in the championship lets worry about that first.
Secondly (and i Like Dara and didnt think he was as bad as made out early in the season) Worrall has played regualarly in a team which stayed in the prem, Dara didn’t.
Thirdly Worrall had plenty of suiters a few years ago too (including Dyche & premier league Burnley). He chose not to leave his boyhood club.

If Dara goes (i hope he doesn’t but its out of our control) we need to replace him. We arent going to be able to get a solid experienced week in week out premier league replacement for him. Its just not going to happen, we are in the championship.

From YouTube this lad looks the most benson replacement of the players linked so far, all be it he’s a fair bit taller than benson to

[MarkGreen]

Sacha Tavolieri:

EXCL. Anass Zaroury will sign at #RCLens !

Agreement reached for a dry transfer at € 9M (bonus included) + 20% on the capital gain.

Zaroury will sign a 4-year contract with the Sangs&Or.

The Atlas Lion is already in Lens and underwent the first part of his medical examination this afternoon.

Looks like LongsideClaret was spot on here.

[rob63]

I just had a quick look at one of the Man United forums (don't worry I used incognito mode, don't want the wife finding out) and the general valuation of their fans seems to be 5-8 million for Hannibal which I would concur with

Did I not read that Valencia agreed 4m in last seasons loan to buy? Hope it was Euros,mind!

[LongsideClaret]

Zaroury to Lens confirmed by Sacha. €9m plus 20%.

Was told earlier in the week he’d been gone imminently.

[123EasyasBFC]

Spot on with your news again mate,

Any movement on the incomings

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Shame about Zaroury was hoping under a new manager he’d be one of our star players this season.

[RVclaret]

Zaroury to Lens confirmed by Sacha. €9m plus 20%.

Makes sense why we want Sarmiento / Anthony now as a left sided option.

[Colburn_Claret]

At 12m plus 2.7m in add one's and a big sell on %, he's surely going straight into the starting eleven

I hope not, it's not fair on the player, or the team. We probably don't have the luxury of playing him in the reserves for a season, but give him a couple of weeks at least to settle in.

[LongsideClaret]

Spot on with your news again mate,

Any movement on the incomings

Nothing imminent on the midfield/winger/attacking front but a number of players spinning with the known targets. Not sure whether the Worrall news of the medical is true but I know he was looking round the training ground on Monday.

[Colburn_Claret]

Romano trotting the Humphrey’s deal is £12m with £2.7m add ons. Sounds a bit steep if true

If it is true I hope we are getting a lot more for O'shea, because he's proved a lot more than Humphrey's till now.

[BigBadBarnes]

It's a shame about Zaroury, but he's never consistently delivered what he did prior to the world cup call up so I can understand the decision to move him on.

[Pearcey]

Gutted about Zaroury. Fantastic footballer when he’s on it. Can’t believe we’re getting short of wide players!
