Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Paddy1882]

Think it’s time someone with a bit of back bone and some balls whether that be board member, manager or senior player, sit everyone down and tell them in no uncertain terms they signed a contract with this club, the club dictates whether you go or not simple as that and if you don’t go you’ll play. In my opinion if they are asking to leave the same week as the biggest game of our season on Saturday I wouldn’t want them anywhere near the team to be honest, shows exactly what they think of the club and the fans but we can’t let everyone go as it is to late to replace.

[Rowls]

Where?

It's a country in South America.

[NewClaret]

Anthony loan then 8m...

Obligation or option?

He’s a player I really don’t rate.

[warksclaret]

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

Would n't that be good business. I doubt though Leicester will let Mcateer go, as he is very much part of first team squad and they have struggled to bring in players

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Vitinho has told Botafogo he wants to stay at Burnley.

I've heard enough, captain him if Brownhill jumps.

Nice thought but Worrall for me, should the situation arise.

[claretburns]

Leeds announce the signing of Solomon from Spurs.

Wise move?

If he can get over his injury problems then a great signing for the Championship.

[Guller Bull]

Obligation or option?

He’s a player I really don’t rate.

I think you may have mentioned that?

[claretburns]

Vitinho has told Botafogo he wants to stay at Burnley.

I've heard enough, captain him if Brownhill jumps.

In the meantime Alan Pace has told Botafogo he wants him to leave Burnley.

[123EasyasBFC]

Leicester are willing to let him out on loan

Tbf it was clear last season he was one of the only one's who showed some balls and didn't give up.

[Tricky Trevor]

looking forward to "Mission to Burnley 3"

MtB2 might be part of the problem.

[NewClaret]

I think you may have mentioned that?

Maybe once or twice

I’ll make it my last time - promise. I’m just in complete shock we’ve gone for him.

[BurnleyFC]

In the meantime Alan Pace has told Botafogo he wants him to leave Burnley.

“Is Botafogo another one of our Brazilian internationals? How much do you think we could get for him, Dave? Talk to me.”

[Row x]

Obligation or option?

He’s a player I really don’t rate.

You won't be happy then

[123EasyasBFC]

MtB2 might be part of the problem.

Why? Clubs had another chance to see how sh*te we were and still bought our manager and players

[NewClaret]

You won't be happy then

[123EasyasBFC]

Obligation or option?

He’s a player I really don’t rate.

2m loan fee and 8m obligation if we are promoted

[warksclaret]

Leicester are willing to let him out on loan

Ah OK, I accept it, but am surprised they have made that decision. Thanks for letting me know. They are supposedly one of the clubs interested in Brownhill, so you never know

[Tricky Trevor]

Getting worried that what’s happening could affect incomings, it all seems to have gone quiet about them and one playing tonight for Brighton.

If they and others don’t happen, the manager won’t stay around and no time left …God forb get that bad.

I got it the 5th time.

[NewClaret]

2m loan fee and 8m obligation if we are promoted

Where’s this from? Have I missed something?

£2m loan fee. Christ on a bike.

[dandeclaret]

If Lyle Foster has somehow got a Premier League move lined up off the back of his time at Burnley so far that is really surprising to me. He’s got the raw attributes but come on, what’s he done? He’s had 5 or 6 brilliant performances, a load of rank bad ones and then a few middling ones - all interspersed with a significant amount of time off with mental illness which the club and fanbase stuck by him on.

After signing him from an absolute non entity of a club and making him likely a millionaire, I have to say I’d find his efforts to get himself out of our club even more distasteful than the others.

We've been playing stats ball.... if the stats light up for Burnley, they'll light up for everybody else using the system in a similar way. It's hardly cutting edge what Mooney et al are doing is it? Brighton, Brentford, Watford amongst others have been at it for years. Brighton had to go half a billion deep for it to begin returning, Watford have basically traded away their premier league position and Brentford had to go a quarter of a billion in - in the championship for it to work.

Is the Burnley FC ownership group going to consistently go that deep in?

[Commy]

If we can get some decent players in the want away ones might decide to stay.

[Burnley Ace]

I understand Thomas Frank is an admirer, so would make sense.

Where do you get this understanding from? Have you got a link (of any sort) to Frank talking about Foster?

[MDWat]

Not sure I understand the dislike of Anthony as a signing.

Good record in the Championship under Parker.

[claretskeith]

Hits refresh and expects another player to have left.

[Weymouth Claret]

Living here in Portugal,reports suggest the move looks like he will become a Benfica player soon.

[whiffa]

Already mentioned multiple times in the transfer thread mate.

[123EasyasBFC]

Where’s this from? Have I missed something?

£2m loan fee. Christ on a bike.

There has to be something in it for Bournemouth to loan him out with the obligation only being if we are promoted

[ervi34]

Wolves close to agreeing 10m move for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. If they really are skint as some are suggesting, then I doubt they have another 20m for Koleosho.

[Hapag Lloyd]

Not sure I understand the dislike of Anthony as a signing.

Good record in the Championship under Parker.

45 games, 8 goals and 7 assists in a promotion winning team.
Not too shabby.

[NewClaret]

Not sure I understand the dislike of Anthony as a signing.

Good record in the Championship under Parker.

That’s a fair point and hopefully Parker will be able to get the best out of him again.

[wilks_bfc]

Hits refresh and expects another player to have left.

I hit refresh and it’s moved on 3 pages.
I can’t keep up

[cally611]

Watched em since the 1960s when players were loyal to the club not just ours everybody s now it’s kiss the badge take the money and run when it doesn’t suit you so get rid of all the tossers I’ve signed a contract and now I don’t like it then play all the kids and young up and coming players who will toughen up are keen hungry and want to get on in life have a couple of lean seasons and crack on from there onwards and upwards UTC

[warksclaret]

Its not the players that have left that worries me, as we have secured some good fees. Its the ones left that want away, with the list increasing by the hour that's more worrying. I thought Scotty had a hard task with his post match interview at Sunderland. I dread to think how tough the post Wolves match will be for him now

We need to take a leaf out of Brightons book (with Sarmiento) and tell Koleosho if he wont start tomorrow night hes not getting paid for August. Its looking like he engineered not being in the squad v Sunderland. After all we have done for him the little turd

[Weymouth Claret]

Alrighty, thanks. Seems a done deal and another one gone ! Cheers from Portugal

[Hapag Lloyd]

Since when has Weymouth been in Portugal.

[jedi_master]

Not sure I understand the dislike of Anthony as a signing.

Good record in the Championship under Parker.

Agreed

[NewClaret]

There has to be something in it for Bournemouth to loan him out with the obligation only being if we are promoted

Yeah, realise that, but in the alternative scenario it’s a lot of money to commit for a single year when we are used to buying players for similar fees last time we were in the Championship (Pires c.£2m too).

[CoolClaret]

Totally agree. Going 100% into any one ideology will always end up backfiring.

Not to mention, the real smart clubs get the players before there's much data about them, before they've played senior games - that's where you get the undiscovered gems (easier said than done of course).

Benfica's scouting network and player development is truly incredible and it makes them a mint.

Honestly, I'd love it if we brought in someone that's worked in a setup such as that or in the RB system/equivalent.

[Weymouth Claret]

Good question amigo !

Moved here 4 years ago from Weymouth !!

Cheers !

[CrosspoolClarets]

Can we have an agreement to give new young players a chance? Let’s be honest we are gonna need them to perform.

I’m imagining what Parker, Pace, Williams and all the rest have been feeling over the last week. It’s bad enough on here, they must feel it’s like some dystopian movie. They have my sincere sympathy and understanding. Some people have made a big gaffe (and I do wonder what was on this alleged list, who it was made for and who wrote it). But what we do know is this week wasn’t in the plan for anyone, including the owners (some of it was, but not the late downing of tools).

So whoever they come up with by Saturday, and remembering we have the January window too, let’s get firmly behind them and beat them lot down the M65 cos they’ll be licking their lips currently.

[Safron]

How the hell does sp conduct training sessions for upcoming games with all this going on

[Conroy92]

I’d probably swap Trafford and Foster in those lists and that’s about where it is currently.

Well if that's the case and your info has been good previously, it is going to be a long season.

As much as it jeopardises the quality. I don't want a single one of these players who want out featuring against Rovers Saturday. It's not a game for players who are thinking about moves and protecting themselves, we need men who will give it there all.

[Woodleyclaret]

A big loss ,but why a loan if we are skint ?

[Commy]

Chelsea after Toney. How many players can we loan from them?

[RVclaret]

Some of these players are an absolute disgrace.

[boyyanno]

Yeah, realise that, but in the alternative scenario it’s a lot of money to commit for a single year when we are used to buying players for similar fees last time we were in the Championship (Pires c.£2m too).

I'm with you.

I also don't think he's much better than someone like Zaroury who we sold for what will be similar money (and Zaroury wasn't considered a starter anyway).

I'm starting to see a serious problem if we aren't careful where we get to Summer, haven't gone up, and then can't afford to convert the loanees anyway as we still have debts to service. What kind of squad will we be left with then!?

I still want to see us go and get 3 marquee signings now, Hannibal is decent enough but neither of the wingers fit the bill for me.

[claretskeith]

A big loss ,but why a loan if we are skint ?

Loan fee.

[bobinho]

Who says we are skint?
