Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Commy]

I have been offered a name, and jungle drums are adamant it's not a wind up. Same guy once again that gave me interest in Mejbri and Billing before anyone else mentioned it.

I feel like it must be a wind up cause it's like a devine entity must have seen my post from yesterday when I said I didn't know whether it was all strategic, informed choices or blind panic. Well ill tell you now and see if you come to the same conclusion as me.

We have enquired about an Ivorian chap at WHU who has one or two issues with his fitness.

WHU sorted out his injury issue. They sent him to a specialist who found the problem and he had an op to correct it. He was out a while and couldn't get into the team when he came back.

This, and the supposed enquiry for Ings, strike me as the actions of a board who are scratching around desperately for something they think will appease the fans.

[Hedontplayforyou]

We desperately need Brownhill to stay for the season now. That’s an absolute must

[Tricky Trevor]

Window closes Friday.
Match on Saturday, that we mustn't lose. How sad is having to write that.
Two week break for SP to know who is in the house and get them sorted into his system.

Can we take loans after the window closes in the EFL?

What have the board done that makes you assume they give a single shiny shite about what the mood of the fans is?

[RVclaret]

Its completely bonkers is this. We need 6 signings before the deadline on Friday.

[Commy]

Does anyone else think that they are going to suddenly wake up and find that this wasn't real?

[summitclaret]

An angry fan base means likely less club sale value.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Be more departures so it’ll need more than 6 signings in 3 days.

[D8BFC]

An angry fan base means likely less club sale value.

If they think people are angry now, god help them at 2:30 on Saturday if we get beat

[The Shire Claret]

This will be an interesting 3 days ….

[NewClaret]

We desperately need Brownhill to stay for the season now. That’s an absolute must

Crazy thing is, I’d have had him down as one of the ones we should sell to recover a fee before the last few weeks unfolded.

[NewClaret]

This will be an interesting 3 days ….

Or heartbreaking 3 days…

[ksrclaret]

An angry fan base means likely less club sale value.

Hmm. True enough, I suppose. I'm not convinced this has ever made it into their way of thinking, though.

[Rileybobs]

How many loans are we allowed, and does the loan window extend beyond the end of the transfer window? Because we’re still well placed to take some players from the likes of Chelsea and Man City and this was of course integral to our success last time. But one of the problems is that some of the supposed imminent incomings seem to be loan with option/obligation to buy which will obviously reduce our options.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Now the report is in The Sun I can speculate that I suspect that was done for Parker not an agent. It’d make sense, he said he didn’t yet know his players well enough. He would have to quickly decide who we should let go.

But such a document is like a top secret “eyes only” thing. What level of incompetence lets it get out like that? Sending it on social media? Businesses use encryption and password entry nowadays for corporate secrets.

It is what the term sh1tshow was invented for, but I’m so grateful to Williams and co for getting what will be north of £150m. It gives us a chance, this season or next (20 games till the next window). Very easy to imagine only getting half that for these players.

As for Foster, I just hope to God the buy still happens if they drop (which they will). Because there is surely no return now for any of these players who want out.

[Murger]

If they think people are angry now, god help them at 2:30 on Saturday if we get beat

Pace will be nowhere near the ground on Saturday. And if he is, he certainly won’t be doing his pre-match walkabout.

The loan window doesn’t open after the window anymore, just free agents after the window is closed

If we’re really enquiring about Ings and Cornet, as much as I’d love them, it really does suggest we have had no plan whatsoever.

[D8BFC]

Who scores more at this level this season? Ings or Foster?

[LongsideClaret]

The rumour has come from a post on here a few hours ago from an account created tonight

Parker has known of Fosters desire to leave for a while and known about his refusal to train since yesterday so I doubt he’s waited until tonight when a deal has been reported by a journalist to decide to walk.

[claret2018]

I’d love Cornet back. If he’s fit he’s the best winger in the league by a mile.

[ksrclaret]

What on God's Earth is going on at our great club, LC?

[Rileybobs]

An angry fan base means likely less club sale value.

Perhaps the board are looking at short-term profits to pocket rather than a long-term increase in sale value which would be reliant on us being in the Premier League.

[summitclaret]

Round Robin email just sent out. Fax machine on.

Loan window doesn’t extend no. Hannibal is a permanent deal now so only 2 of these supposed incomings are loans.

[Murger]

You seem clued up, what the hell are Pace and co thinking ?
They can’t seriously believe that we’ll still get promoted after selling all our players.

[BuryClaret]

Pace will be nowhere near the ground on Saturday. And if he is, he certainly won’t be doing his pre-match walkabout.

He’ll parachute in and land on the roof

[Rileybobs]

The loan window doesn’t open after the window anymore, just free agents after the window is closed

Mmm. I suppose loan deals are easier and quicker to get over the line so it’s hard to see past us taking advantage of this.

[CoolClaret]

Live scenes from the Burnley FC war room:

[Ric_C]

So players leaving before the window shuts now are:

Out
Weghorst
Foster
Amdouni
Koleosho

Think Brownhill and Trafford will stay

Which leaves us with the task of bringing in
2 strikers
2 wingers
A number 8 or 10
A CM

And that is the bare minimum

[NewClaret]

Parker has known of Fosters desire to leave for a while and known about his refusal to train since yesterday so I doubt he’s waited until tonight when a deal has been reported by a journalist to decide to walk.

Seems all that was made about the mood in camp being much improved since SP joined was total rubbish.

None of them bar Esteve seems to want to play for him.

[BigGaz]

Hladky
Roberts Worrall Esteve Pires
Massengo Cullen
Vitinho Benson Hountondji
JRod

The best team we can put out on Saturday assuming everything stays as is on the incomings and the expected outgoings go?

I don't anticipate any falling through but not sure it's a good idea to thrown new starters in, team cohesion already shot at.

[Rileybobs]

Jou ma se puss

[123EasyasBFC]

Mmm. I suppose loan deals are easier and quicker to get over the line so it’s hard to see past us taking advantage of this.

There’s no limit to the amount of loans you can have but only 5 can be named in each match day squad

[123EasyasBFC]

Parker has known of Fosters desire to leave for a while and known about his refusal to train since yesterday so I doubt he’s waited until tonight when a deal has been reported by a journalist to decide to walk.

It’s unheard of the amount of players refusing to be involved in squads or refusing to train

[BleedingClaret]

After the 12m deal for Humphrey’s I’m almost hoping we don’t do anymore in deals

The less debt we’re left with the better

[PWBFC]

Ipswich appear to have lost the plot. Won't end well.

Isn't Cullen injured for saturday?

[CoolClaret]

Ipswich making all the same mistakes that we made.

Honestly will be supporting every team that Ipswich plays against, petty but I need cathartic release.

I would be very surprised if Parker had any say whatsoever on what players are sold.

[Slurpy]

Will Ipswich still have to buy him if they are relegated?

Yes ,just like we did with Tresor

[burnmark]

Isn't Cullen injured for saturday?

Yep. Doubtful

[burnley007]

That surely can't be correct??
He's done nothing. Are we run by lunatics??

[Hedontplayforyou]

What’s the odds on McNally being top scorer for us this season?

[dermotdermot]

An angry fan base means likely less club sale value.

They can sell it for a pound having made millions. Face it lads, we’ve been had. Sold down the river. Absolutely screwed. I can’t see a recovery from this in my lifetime or ever, for that matter. An extremely sad time for all of us, to say the least.

[BigGaz]

Isn't Cullen injured for saturday?

Oh god don't say that

[Wokingclaret]

Will these proposed signings now want to sign for this shitshow

[FeedTheArf]

Wonder what the likes of Ekdal, Beyer, Redmond and Ramsey make of all this. No escape for them.

There’s always January…

[Tricky Trevor]

Re: an earlier comment. Why would SP turn to the Academy manager for an assessment of first team players. Far more likely to use Jackson or even Bellamy.
No he won’t walk, massive contract in his back sack.
