Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[clarets1978]

I think he could be here after the window closes, Zaroury didn't want to be included last weekend is a rumour just like Berg as been injured it's obvious that if you are going to sell someone the club don't want him to get injured and Berg said the Fulham transfer had been going on for 3 weeks..

Its funny actually. I laughed at the club announcement of Berge leaving. I could be wrong but I thought that we'd been told that he'd been injured all preseason and not played but the picture that accompanied the announcement clearly showed him on a training ground wearing our current season shirt. Tbh when I see an answer like he's ill or similar, I usually take that as thier polite way of saying its none of our business

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Good to see Mikey Johnston in the background, supporting his idol in these difficult times

[Blyclaret]

Who give a **** about the prick

[Simps]

The mauser

Is his nickname “Broomhandle”?

[burnley007]

Sadly, I am not surprised that my perfectly sensible and reasoned reply was removed but all the other comments weren't... No politics works both ways!

How on earth can my comment be deemed offensive enough to remove when you still allow the comment I was replying to (Why would you follow a misogynistic, hate promoting bellend like Andrew Tate?), with the very offensive words like "hate" and "bellend" in it?...

I find the words "hate" and "bellend" extremely offensive!...

This board really is becoming a far-left petri dish of a propaganda machine!

Haha, even Clarets Mad is a political propaganda site now.
You lot really are lunatics

[Hedontplayforyou]

We close to any of the incomings?

[clarets1978]

A good way to get back on topic! All I can see looking around is that Worrall is imminent but not sure about any of the others

How about "Self styled misogynist, and suspected human traffiker, Andrew Tate?"

The chinless hills some people will choose to die on these days. Holy ****

[Commy]

In the pre match press Parker said Worrall is getting there but not close, close and nothing to report on Mikey Johnston.

They don't usually comment unless it's pretty certain to happen...I'm guessing medicals/contracts/payment structures still being sorted.

TBF its a weird name to find a reference for, the media team must be struggling. Worrall lorra laffs?

[Blyclaret]

Can we please keep this thread as of the title

[ŽižkovClaret]

Can we please keep this thread as of the title

Fair shout

[Taffy on the wing]

There’s a difference between someone who you don’t have a lot on common with and disliking someone. The opinion that he follows Andrew Tate therefore he must be a bellend just doesn’t sit well with me. It’s not confined to this board, it’s society in general. Anyway back to the topic in hand!

Make it stop!

[Steddyman]

Let's not turn this thread into a mini twitter please. There is a reason I've mostly stopped using it now.

[gandhisflipflop]

Zaroury gone officially.

[HeatonMoorClaret]

On LinkedIn ....before Club site

[123EasyasBFC]

Half the Tresor fee back with selling zaroury at least

[Holtyclaret]

I hope Zaroury and Benson both stay.

Before the window opened we had: Koleosho/Zaroury + Odobert/Benson

That to me was perfect.

In that dream scenario what would happen if odobert and zaroury were injured? You’d be comfortable that Benson could effectively cover say three games for 90 minutes?

[randomclaret2]

Somewhere up around £88m in sales now this summer , if we include the Kompany " fee" , with seemingly more to come. Incredible figures...

[burnley007]

Half the Tresor fee back with selling zaroury at least

Sorry to go back to the Tresor situation, but are we all just frustrated because we know there has to be a very good player there and we were all looking forward to seeing him get the chance to show it this season?
Or is it just the fee we paid?

[criminalclaret]

Bought Zaroury for 4m, sold him for 4m?

[claretskeith]

Fair point, although Benson did play full games for us in the Prem and people were saying it was a myth that he's only an impact player. I just don't currently see us bringing in better and think the first 11 + bench will be weaker once the window closes.

Would be very happy to see him play for us this season if he wants to because there is clearly a player. The apparent fee obviously is a factor as to why people are frustrated. 15-18m for zero output

[BigGaz]

But they are not footballing **** wits, they are decent PL players that were managed by a stubborn **** wit with no plan B.

The bit where I said no way would anyone pay what they have for the likes of Odobert and Berge was clearly an error and I've been made to look daft there which is fair enough.

Whether or not they are good PL (or elsewhere) players is still up for debate and one which I'll watch on with interest and hopefully we can have some fun debating who got the better end of the deal in 2-3 years.

[123EasyasBFC]

Lens confirmed 9m euros with add ons and 20% sell on

Which games did he do the full 90 in?

I’d stand corrected but I’m not sure he’s ever completed 90 minutes for us. Did he start a game last year?

[ClaretFelix]

Terrible business this

[MrTopTier]

Sheff Utd in for Mikey Johnson.

[claretskeith]

I'm probably thinking of him starting games. I'm sure he started some games for us and then came off later in the game, as opposed to only being a sub. I certainly remember some fans saying he's not only an impact sub due to this.

[MrTopTier]

Ipswich 15 million for Jack Clarke.

[summitclaret]

No, but the fee was an issue. It's because the last thing we needed was yet another winger when we never got a left back or a defensive cm to replace Cork.

[Woodleyclaret]

Zaroury was being talked about bring worth North of £30m till VK destroyed his confidence. Best winger since Super Glen and he will be missed.

[claretskeith]

Ipswich 15 million for Jack Clarke.

Apparently in 'advanced talks'

[Blyclaret]

Am I missing somebody as of today
BPF… Vigeroux…Muric
Taylor.. Cork …Wilson O
Costello … Bastien … Churlov
Twine.. Berge … Zaroury.

[Blyclaret]

JBG. Got it.

[BigGaz]

Lorenz Assignon
Jacob Bruun Larsen
Jack Cork
Dara Costelloe
Darko Churlinov
Lawrence Vigouroux
Charlie Taylor
Samu Bastien
Bailey Peacock Farrell
Scott Twine
Arijanet Muric
Wilson Odobert
Sander Berge
Anass Zaroury makes it 14 that have left the club for definite so far.

You would imagine O'Shea, AAD, Weghorst and McNally are almost guaranteed to leave making it 18.

Then less likely than guaranteed but then JBG, Benson, Vitinho, Obafemi, Massengo potentially taking us over 20 outgoings.

This is a huge squad overhaul, bigger than the one Kompany had to do and if Parker takes us up then I wouldn't like to say which one is the bigger achievement but I know which way Id be leaning.

[bumba]

Do ALK seriously question the atmosphere when they sell off all the fans favourites and have a revolving door?

Just as the feel good factor started to return it's not getting concerning, how many more to leave?
Will Parker even leave if this isn't what he signed up too?

[Holtyclaret]

Top two were only loan players for last season.

Indeed but two first teamers who were often part of the first 11.

[Woodleyclaret]

Why are we shifting Massengo? He's just broken into the squad

[Tall Paul]

Sheff Utd in for Mikey Johnson.

As long as they're not after our target, Mikey Johnston...

You don’t think sp and ap talked during the thorough interview process? Or since?

Sp will be very aware of everything.

Most fans are aware (I’d imagine) of the overloaded squad issue that requires this ‘corrective’ window.

[123EasyasBFC]

If Ajax are struggling with weghorst fee then surely we could swap them with akpom

[RicardoMontalban]

Indeed but two first teamers who were often part of the first 11.

By that measure there are six in your list that were nowhere near the first team, and five of whom (plus Zaroury) were out on loan for part or all of the season.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Needed to be done. Ruthless game but we can’t have a bloated squad and keep everyone happy. Zaroury was expecting to start games. He hasn’t started the first two games and he asked to leave from what I gather to get game time. Benson similar
