Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[jrgbfc]

in all honesty, if we can somehow double our money on Foster I'd bite their hand off as long as they bring some replacements in.

I've already written this season off in terms of a serious promotion challenge. It's time to get some players in that want to be here

It's starting to look that way, going to need a season just to regroup and stabilise things.

Mellon has a long term injury I think

I think he's ill.

Yep, I completely agree. This season could very much be a write off by the weekend, if not already.

All that work and team building in pre-season has gone straight out the window.

[NewClaret]

having his medical now apparently

That doesn’t tie in with what LC said at all.

I heard there was one on Sunday, which I assumed was Hannibal, and a couple (could be two or three) yesterday.

Now we know Sarmiento wasn’t yesterday or Anthony. Either they just got deferred or they were for other players.

[claretskeith]

I hope they have about 10 medicals pre booked

I'll be needing a medical the way things are going.

Apparently the medicals are taking longer than usual as any player wanting to join us at the moment needs their head examining.

Or the reporters are just a day behind on Anthony

Suspected acl but thankfully proved to not be the case. Back in a few weeks I believe.

[Vegas Claret]

yep and if that helps us out long term then I'm fine with it. We need to strike a balance between Dyche and Kompany in terms of style and the playing squad

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Christ. I was looking forward to this transfer window under a new manager. Trim the squad a bit, bring in a couple of quality replacements and walk the league again. Couldn't have got it any more wrong.

[kentonclaret]

Burnley to be relegated now 150/1 on Skybet.

Which price do you consider to be more realistic?

4/1 to WIN the League
150/1 to be RELEGATED

Both prices from Sky Bet

[bobinho]

They will if they are reading the absolute bilge being spouted in here….

[TheFamilyCat]

I've dipped in and out of this thread but as far as I can tell, since Saturday afternoon there is a number of posters who seem to have done nothing but post on it, more often than not constantly repeating themselves.

I understand they are concerned, or worse, about what is happening but I worry for their wellbeing. There's absolutely nothing any of us can do about the situation. Surely you are better served walking away, doing something more beneficial to your health and letting it pan out. What will be, will be.

[NewClaret]

The Athletic reporting the medical taking place today

Ah okay. Seems a lot of conflicting information is out there.

I think sometimes the press report the medicals are happening way after they’ve been done, but assuming the athletic are right it would suggest there were some medicals yesterday for unknown players.

That or the info given to LC was wrong.

[alwaysaclaret]

Suspected acl but thankfully proved to not be the case. Back in a few weeks I believe.

Cheers for some good news

[kentonclaret]

A number of posters on this forum have already been up in the attic looking out the pair of old boots and applying a few coats of dubbin ready for Saturday.

[randomclaret2]

Cheers for some good news

Indeed, but unfortunately he's on a season long loan at Stockport.

[Commy]

Sacha - Jeremy Sarmiento's medical tests has finally been postponed for Wednesday. Jaiden Anthony formalities still needs to fixed... To be continued. #mercato #BurnleyFC #twitterclaret

[alf_resco]

4/1 to WIN the League
150/1 to be RELEGATED

Both prices from Sky Bet

I was stating a fact that Skybet have BFC relegation at 150/1. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Sapperclaret73]

Without trying to be called a “bed wetter”, this is getting seriously worrying.

I’d love brownhill to steady the ship by signing a new contract.A few solid signings and some more links but it simply looks doom and gloom. The last “hopes” zeki and luca want out.

Even if hannibal, anthony and the sarmiento come in, it will only paper over the cracks.

All before the biggest game of the season. How quickly things can change in football

[claretburns]

Cheers for some good news

He won't be available for us, once he is back fit I presume he will join up with Stockport again to continue his season long loan.

[NewClaret]

Or the reporters are just a day behind on Anthony

I think that’s a possibility. Pretty sure Hannibal’s was earlier than has been suggested.

[Commy]

At least we might have a decent defence for this division so not all gloom and doom

[Holtyclaret]

Indeed, but unfortunately he's on a season long loan at Stockport.

Came back to us for treatment but back there as soon as he is fit to.

[oswyclaret]

Genuine question and not meant to start some kind of world war, but does anyone think ALK will be a success here?

I’ve doubted them from day one but this is looking like the sinking of the titanic at the moment

I said that, when these yanks borrowed money and took over our club,that this would be the demise of Burnley fc.

I hope to God I,m wrong but it may well come true!

[123EasyasBFC]

I think that’s a possibility. Pretty sure Hannibal’s was earlier than has been suggested.

Hannibal Sunday, Sarmiento and Anthony planned for yesterday but only Anthony’s happened and apparently Sarmientos tomorrow

We need another 5 medicals booked before the deadline

Number 10
CM
Winger
2 strikers

[KefkaClaret]

Letting Twine go was a mistake.

[wadeswondergoal]

I’ve been reliably informed that the Hannibal announcement is imminent.

[Rick_Muller]

Letting Twine go was a mistake.

He could have tied it all up in the middle

[NewClaret]

Letting Twine go was a mistake.

To be honest, I think letting a lot of those fringe players go are looking like bad decisions.

We had Churlinov, Twine, JBG, Odobert & Amdouni (ignoring Ramsey - not fit), to play in the 10 and it’s looking like we won’t have a fit 10 now.

Shocking.

[Claret Toni]

I’ve been reliably informed that the Hannibal announcement is imminent.

...probably that he's looking for a move away

[CoolClaret]

I'd have rather had Churlinov and Twine playing against Sunderland than shoehorning the new lad Houtoundji out wide and dropping Jay into midfield at times, that's for damn sure.

Churlinov/Twine absolutely fine as squad players.

[boatshed bill]

Letting Twine go was a mistake.

at least we didn't string him along.

[northeastclaret]

I’ve been reliably informed that the Hannibal announcement is imminent.

Praise the Lord. At least Worrell and Hannibal are an improvement on many that are leaving.

[claret2018]

On the plus side, if we do end up with a threadbare, useless squad after Friday, we won’t have to suffer the Premier League next season.

[kentonclaret]

Letting Twine go was a mistake.

I think he told them to get knotted.

[alf_resco]

at least we didn't string him along.

..... but it's all unravelling now.

[Mark the Claret]

If they want to go let them, glad to see the back of most of them, showed no fight last season and I wouldn't expect them to this season if the going gets tough, all we can hope for is we get a few in, solid professionals, not foreign mercenaries.

[boatshed bill]

..... but it's all unravelling now.

Our midfield does look a bit ropey.

[claretskeith]

I’ve been reliably informed that the Hannibal announcement is imminent.

I'm coming for you if this doesn't happen.

[kentonclaret]

Leeds announce the signing of Solomon from Spurs.

Wise move?

[123EasyasBFC]

The board have to get it right before Friday

Trafford - travers
Odobert - Sarmiento
Zaroury - Anthony
Berge - Hannibal
Amdouni - Billing
Koleosho - mcateer from Leicester
Foster - akpom

[NewClaret]

Churlinov/Twine absolutely fine as squad players.

When we bloated our squad, I thought it might’ve been a reasonable strategy whereby we retained a core group for if we went down and lost our ‘premier league’ players.

Obviously you can’t do that forever, but I thought having that as a safety net for a year or two while we try and establish ourselves in the premier league was quite sensible.

Seems it was actually not by design and just rank bad management.

I think it’s fair to say they don’t have a strategy at all now, actually.

[dandeclaret]

folk moaning about amdouni when they spent all last season calling him terrible and a waste of a shirt, cant beat it.

This is the problem of attributing a single voice to a forum.... some were calling him terrible, some were saying when it clicks he'll be an amazing player for the team.

[Goalposts]

Well at least Vitinho has ruled out a move back to Brazil

[warksclaret]

The one thing this afternoon that has virtually sickened me is news about Foster. wanting away. I saw him on Mission 2, crying and saying he was in a dark place. From what I saw last season the club bent over backwards to get him the best possible support and get him playing again. Having struggled recently myself I could fully relate to it. Now he wants away.Have to say its one thing a club still buying you after recovering from a serious physical injury , however once its well documented that you have had serious mental issues firstly prior to joining Burnley, and secondly after joining, clubs have to be very brave in paying a significant fee. I suspect the fee would be around £20m-bear in mind Arsenal got Trossard for that sort of fee. I also doubt if he would break into the Brentford team, putting him under pressure to perform

That was my initial thought as well, I disliked it and thought it was a bit daft but decided to give it time, last season seemed insane from the off to me but again, clean slate heading into this season... but I've basically come to the same conclusion as you. It feels scattergun and very desperate.

[Row x]

Anthony loan then 8m...

[KRBFC]

Well at least Vitinho has ruled out a move back to Brazil

Where?
