I feel quite underwhelmed about this, very much like I was when we signed Dara last summer.
Let's hope he's half as good as him.

Seriously though

In January, I wasn't that bothered about Steeeve, but I was excited about Fofana.

Last summer I wasn't expecting owt from Koleosho, Odobert, O'shea etc.

There are a team of data analysts at the club, profiling 1000's of players all over the world, creating detailed shortlists.

I sometimes watch MOTD when I've had a few beers.

I'm just gonna leave it up to these guys.

Football fans are generally blinkered, opinionated fools, I am a perfect example!

Welcome to Burnley Joe

[Murger]

Wheres this Amdouni to Benfica rumour come from?

Edit; just seen the above link.

[RVclaret]

Amdouni obv going. He’s one of them that’ll think he’s better and after seeing Odobert/Berge get moves he’ll be pushing. Benfica ideal for him, dominate games, awful standard opposition so will look a world beater, good weather, low intensity. Hopefully we don’t cave into their weird loan deal. Fed up of players (and manager) thinking they’re above the club to be honest.

[Longsider]

Yes I am. Why is that hard to understand? Or are new people not allowed to join this board?

Welcome mate. You have joined at a twitchy time for a lot of board members. Get involved with the food count , it's a laugh and not as serious.

[Goalposts]

Mission to burnley 3 is gonna be bonkers… with this start

[warksclaret]

Don't see Worrall as a risk. He may not be the finished article, but I suspect he will bring qualities that we are missing. Think he is a natural leader and battler. We justify having kept players like Brownhill, Jayrod, Barnes, and Cullen for their experience and for being good guys within the team and dressing room, however I think Joe will bring more with him than these guys possess. He might be a younger version of that warrior Ben Mee

[Steddyman]

Surely this isn't legit? https://x.com/SteveParkinUK/status/1826575528226074763

Fulham signing Andros Townsend for £13.5m and over £100k per week. That's nuts for a 33 year old. Is it a parody account?

Yeah, I’d seen that, but hoping there’s not serious interest/we’re never not willing to loan and they’re not willing to buy.

Sense I get at the moment is that we’re either in far worse financial shape than we were led to believe (see earlier post re: Kompany’s comments) or our strategy is just to rid ourselves of as many Kompany hires as possible in one window.

I have nothing against the latter over time but the rush to do it (when we need to get up and many of them are very good players) seems fraught with risk. I’m all for Parker getting his chance to shape his own team but Pace is going to come unstuck with this constant player turnover.

[Burnley Ace]

Didn’t realise you knew him so well.

What are these comments?

[123EasyasBFC]

Longside claret mentioned obafemi to Plymouth which has now made it to the socials now

[Cirrus_Minor]

I can't say j would be too upset if we sold Amdouni. He was fairly poor last season. I'll need to see more than a goal, albeit against a demoralised Cardiff, to suggest he'll be any better this season.

[RVclaret]

What are these comments?

He’d basically said post relegation that the position of needing to sell wasn’t like last time and harped on about how we weren’t a parachute team last time, implying that we would be this time.

[NewClaret]

What are these comments?

He said prior to leaving in one of his later press conferences words to the effect of “our financial situation this summer is different to our previous relegation, there is less pressure to sell and our sales would be more focussed around players that have outgrown the Championship”.

Which with £100m and counting (more than previous relegation) is looking like a load of rubbish… or our strategy has changed because he left.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Anyone else heard Kebbal is happening?

No official link I don’t believe just a few group chats talking about it

Ah yes, I thought you were referencing something else that I may have missed.

[/quote I think VK must have kissed the Blarney Stone on reflection every word he said was a load of pony and trap.

Possibly more wanting after watching some YouTube clips than anything happening , he looks very good to watch on his YouTube clips which of course can be extremely misleading

[BB4Claret]

Hladky
Greene
Sambo
Humphreys
Worrall
Pires
Houtondji

That’s seven in and still ten days to go.

(Technically, you could add Estève and Trésor to the incoming list, too.)

There is plenty of speculation regarding possible incomings. It’s not as if nobody wants to come here.

The model seems to be working (so far).

It’s not yet time to panic or to write off our possible promotion prospects.

The window closes a week tomorrow, August 30th.

who's that ? I must have missed it

[123EasyasBFC]

Once al-dakhil, O’Shea (reluctantly), McNally, JBG, weghorst, Obafemi all leave, we will have a squad of 23 if you take out the players who don’t need to be registered due to age. Space for a winger and midfielder.

If we are to sign Hannibal on a perm deal he wouldn’t need to be registered, but if it’s a loan he would have to be

[warksclaret]

Clive Holts fax machine would normally be coming out about now-those were the days

[mybloodisclaret]

who's that ? I must have missed it

Plays for Paris FC allegedly is very similar to Benson, but a bit cheaper. I haven't watched the customary youtube highlights.

Had been suggested that Leeds and poss Sheff U also interested.

ah ok, I'd forgotten about him - cheers

[Wokingclaret]

https://x.com/alex_crook/status/1826730113347846259

Obafemi a loan

[dermotdermot]

Hearing about Jermaine Jenas on socials

Is he signing as well?

[dermotdermot]

https://x.com/alex_crook/status/1826730113347846259

Obafemi a loan

Can he take Weghorst with him for company.

[wilks_bfc]

Looks like a done deal from Ipswich for Jack Clarke £20m

One less for us to worry about on Saturday

[LongsideClaret]

Sorry for going slightly off topic here but it sounds like Plymouth are eyeing up a move for Michael Obafemi

Confirmed now. Season long Loan.

[Big Vinny K]

Confirmed now. Season long Loan.

Good info as usual LC !

[agreenwood]

Good info as usual LC !

Can we just get the lad his own thread? Would save a lot of time scrolling on here.

[Jakubs Tash]

Confirmed now. Season long Loan.

Our attacking / flair players seem to be depleting at quite a rate - can we expect some exciting attacking incomings soon, LC?

[Steddyman]

If Weghorst is going too, we must be in for a couple of strikers?

That’s the most sensible thing I’ve read on this board for a long time !

My bad.

Seven in with eight days to go !

[randomclaret2]

That’s the most sensible thing I’ve read on this board for a long time !

He's certainly the ' go to ' poster on this thread.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Is he signing as well?

Yes he's securing the coin

[123EasyasBFC]

Confirmed now. Season long Loan.

Would be nice for some positive incoming new from you that’s not a defender hahaha

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Would you not add Amdouni into that list? I think he would tear this league apart

Why would he, he's another sulker, he wants off and we don't need lumbering with his presence any longer if we get a very good offer

[NewClaret]

Confirmed now. Season long Loan.

Isn’t he out of contract next summer? Seems a bizarre one if we didn’t try to cash in this summer, if so?

Obviously have another striker lined up if Weghorst is leaving.

[criminalclaret]

Obefami to Plymouth confirmed, season long loan

[LongsideClaret]

Would be nice for some positive incoming new from you that’s not a defender hahaha

I don’t choose the signings I just hear about them But I think that’s probably us done on the defender incoming front.

Hopefully around 30m in the sales of O’Shea, al-dakhil and McNally
