Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Taffy on the wing]

I have a mate who’s wife had an affair, so he gave her an ultimatum. She left. Within 6 weeks, every trace of her was removed from the house (even though they had 2 kids). I think Alan is purging VK from Burnley. At least he’s making money doing it

Had exactly that image, a jilted Allen chucking out every last reminder of his "Prettiest girl in town"

What a shitshow.

[Jakubclaret]

Everyone saying about the fees we are receiving, double money, great profit etc….. the problem is the club won’t profit from any of it. It will go towards paying off loans or interest on loans and the rest will go to ALK who’ve used Burnley FCs money to purchase the club in the first place. I don’t always agree with Simon Jordan but he speaks his mind and when the takeover happened he called it for what it was. It’s a shambles and dangerous towards our club.

Exactly it's not really going towards the betterment of BFC the moneys getting thrown into a big black hole. Simon Jordan might have made mistakes in the past but he's learnt from it he's a clever bloke. Like he said everything's fine at first but the model invites problems later down the line we are starting to see that now.

Thanks for nothing Lyle makes his rant at corky look false now! He threw the towel in refusing to play the idiot! Good riddance! See you back in the championship next year he won’t get a warm welcome from me.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Mission to Burnley 3, Alan is going to sell it to Ipswich and rename it Mission to Ispwich

[Vegas Claret]

Just to put the reported Foster fee into context, Forest have offered Brentford 15 for Yoane Wissa

[JMU81]

Mile for Lyle.........I'm off for a long run......have a nice day whatever you're doing.......peace and love and all that jazz.

And whilst all this is happening Alan and his mates are, I believe, getting paid very good salaries by the club

Link to Ipswich Town forum news thingy.

'Now, according to Italian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Blues and Clarets are discussing the season-long loan of Foster, a deal which it’s claimed would include an obligation to buy for £25 million next summer, assuming Town stay up.'

https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-new ... ster-talks

"Assuming" doing a lot of the heavy lifting there, and inserted into Sacha's tweet. Nowhere does he say assuming. You can understand which an Ipswich supporter would insert "assuming" but it is not what is quoted by Sacha.

[mybloodisclaret]

Foster trained on Tuesday, that’s not to say he isn’t off, but he definitely trained with those expected to be involved against Wolves.

Not according to LC, who has been on point with everything so far.

[Pearcey]

It’ll be interesting to see if Muric, O’Shea and Foster are prepared to play in the championship with Ipswich next season. Suspect they’ll lose their manager as well.

[spt_claret]

Ah **** off.
Yesterday afternoon he didn't want to go back to Brazil.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say- this no longer looks to me like it's driven by the players or even the Academy fiasco. This looks like ALK wanting to flog everything that isn't tied down for whatever reason, and the "so-and-so wants out" is PR shite.

Bugger off **** stirrer

[gawthorpe_view]

Players been told not to come in this morning. Doubts about whether they will even travel today.

Source?

[Guller Bull]

Is this DA’s twin brother?

[Pearcey]

The Gawthorpe Whisperer! Fair play.

[Row x]

The Gawthorpe Whisperer! Fair play.

The trouble is some sad sacks actually believe him, they then post it on twitter and it's seen as fact, giving rovers fans all the encouragement they need going into Saturday (which is probably his intention)
Just ignore

I’m certainly ignoring, just recognising a blatant wind up merchant from down the road who joined the board yesterday. Fair play that he’s got some nibbles.

[dcunningham27]

Wonder if anything remotely positive may happen today surely me must be due something good to happen

[mybloodisclaret]

Players been told not to come in this morning. Doubts about whether they will even travel today.

Ah yes, joined yesterday evening, whilst looking at a poster of Tugay he still has on his bed room wall.
First Post - Parker left.
Second Post - players told not to turn up.

I suspect he's not really a Claret.

[gawthorpe_view]

Wonder if anything remotely positive may happen today surely me must be due something good to happen

Yes! Stay positive

[RVclaret]

Surely we can’t be agreeing to any ‘if Ipswich stay up’ clause? I’d rather Lyle trains on his own all season than loan him for zero reward.

[Pearcey]

A win tonight and at least 2 signings I reckon. COYC!!

[dcunningham27]

That’s more like it

Let’s hope that’s what we get UTC!

[Woodleyclaret]

Mark Harris looks a decent striker at Oxford

[123EasyasBFC]

Players been told not to come in this morning. Doubts about whether they will even travel today.

FairPlay people are using hour original post as a reliable source to Parker leaving.

People actually believing Jack cork would be manager if he left hahaha

[williamjblazkowicz]

I'd be delighted if we can get that kind of money for Foster. It's silly money for a striker who doesn't score goals. The concern of course is how we're going to replace all of these departures because we're giving ourselves a lot of work to do with very little time left.

[bfcjg]

I was even dreaming about it all last night,it's really got into my head, sadly I didn't come on and score a winner for us which is my standard BFC dream

[Quicknick]

Sure, but no one on here has any idea what is happening in the background.

Yes these accounts are pre premier league money

[Row x]

Absolutely madness if true, he'd just end up back here.

If he really doesn't want to play for us, just sell him permanently for what we bought him for

[mikeS]

BBC gossip page on the Red button last week had a story about Vitinho going to Brazil. Yesterday it was Trafford going to Newcastle on loan. Today it's Weghorst "is set to join Ajax after reaching personal terms".

Paces revolving door just keep on spinning.

[williamjblazkowicz]

Sure, but no one on here has any idea what is happening in the background.

True. I suppose it all makes for a very interesting last couple of days before the deadline!

[bumba]

The guys absolutely cack, he’s going to Ipswich not Benfica. Good riddance, he can’t even be arsed getting into peak physical condition.

A complete cart horse who’s had 4 good games in 18 months.

At least with him going we can all stop pretending he’s good

I agree to be honest, he had a good spell last season which was short lived.
He's offered nothing since and I don't see what he offers anymore, £25 million in July we'd all be laughing saying sell him but we're that desperate now it comes across a bad deal.
He got a lot of praise for his rant on mission to Burnley but sounded like a pop at the fans too to me and he shouldn't be having a pop when he'd missed half a season

[Row x]

https://x.com/kieranmaguire/status/1828 ... rNr6Z5x6nA

He has a dislike for Burnley, I think he got grief online

He doesn't mention money owed to us from other clubs, which make his comments unbalanced

[GetIntoEm]

Those accounts are not new. Just another sensationalist journalist. Guys a bit of a tool

[dibraidio]

6 goals. 25 million? For a lad who missed a lot of games last season through depression. Take the money and run Alan. Trouble is if it's a loan and Ipswich get relegated we get nothing and if Foster has added say 3 more goals he's not going to be worth much at the end of the season. Also that gives us no money to reinvest in the squad or repay debt this season. I know we're still over the 25 but we would need to replace Foster with someone capable of playing a part this season because having just Jay Rod and Hountondji as recognised forwards is not the way you go about challenging for promotion.

[Robbie_painter]

Of all the outgoings foster is the one I’m least bothered about,good riddance.

[willsclarets]

There was less of a panic to get off the Titanic

[fatboy47]

This.

...and Trafford.

All well and good but we players for the season

All in all & taking everything into account I think with all the quality outgoings gone & going the promotion prospects will need some sort of a revision. You are asking a whole new unfamiliar team to all hit the ground running some not even having any championship background. It's a game changer all this upheaval not looked at the recent odds but they'll be drifting with every departee.

[Newcastleclaret93]

This.

...and Trafford.

At least both of them haven’t refused to play.

I still suspect they will be here at the end of the window

[Swizzlestick]

It’s alright saying ‘I’m happy for him to go’ but we have less than three days to sign about eight players.

If we agreed to a ‘only if we stay up’ clause with Ipswich, we’ve lost our marbles. If not, I can’t then see them going for it.

[claret2018]

When has a relegated Premier League team ever had a massive turnover of players, and a new manager, gone on to romp the championship the following season?

[123EasyasBFC]

He has a dislike for Burnley, I think he got grief online

It does 17m owed from clubs

[Exeterclaret]

When has a relegated Premier League team ever had a massive turnover of players, and a new manager, gone on to romp the championship the following season?

Well theres's obviously one recent example we'd all be very familiar with. Difference is, however, they didn't have 2 and bit days to assemble most of a new squad.

[Blyclaret]

Asset stripping at its finest. Sell everything before the bailiffs come and take it.

The plan to finish in one of the automatic promotion places never left the ground and even a top 6 finish looks well beyond a squad of players stripped of any real quality and lacking in forward areas without a prolific striker for this league.
Wasn’t part of the stated plan to build a team that could challenge for promotion around a core of key players? The spine of the team has been ripped out and a rebuild will take time and will not happen overnight.

[agreenwood]

It’s alright saying ‘I’m happy for him to go’ but we have less than three days to sign about eight players.

This is the key factor now. We’re past the point of judging sales on their individual merits. It’s the bigger picture and what it means for the season ahead that matters.

We’ve no idea whether Mejbri, Sarmiento and Anthony are going to be the extent of the remaining incomings. Even if there’s is an intention to bring in more, it’s a lot harder to land targets at this late stage.

Unless we desperately need to sell this volume of players to stave off financial disaster, it’s very hard to understand the events of the last few weeks.
