Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Swizzlestick]

We’ve barely got any flair players left, Alan Titchmarsh.

[kentonclaret]

11 goals scored in opening 3 fixtures and just one of the scorers (Brownhill) left at the club.

That’s some going by any stretch.

[ISpeds00]

Seems like ‘said person’ is not to be trusted.

Well done for logging in and replying though
You sure told me

We’ve had plenty of these, and guess what…. They’ve often turned out to be integral cogs in a TEAM….. Graham Alexander, Steven Thompson, David Jones, Scott Arfield….. all lower half champ at best, players who actually transformed the way the TEAM played.

If you’re going to grow precious roses, you need a load of soil
And manure….. rose bulbs don’t grow that well if they’re in a bag of bulbs.

Good to see a spine being built in the team…. keeper, Worrall, potentially this lad, add to the solidity that your flair players can go and play in.

I’m as frustrated as most with the sales and the mess, but to be negative about everything is a waste of energy.

That’s fair.

Oh well, don’t sign anybody then.

Fee agreed for Johnston, up to the player to decide

Lets get at Wolves

[ervi34]

So this probably means stories about Vitinho, Weghorst and Amdouni were correct and they are leaving. You'd guess Benson is also off, but I'm not sure if he's found his next destination.

Koleosho could also be leaving, but he's "injured" anyway.

On the other hand, Foster is benched which could mean Sacha was wrong about him moving to Ipswich. They are interested in other strikers, and it's odd no one else wrote about that.

Must admit, don't know too much about Johnston, do other posters reckon he'd be ok?

[willsclarets]

Is Benson one that's injured or just left out?

[Conroy92]

Wow, the club haven't half signed some mercenary two- hats.

Exactly the type we would get when we started inticing them in with the club as a stepping stone. And also exactly the mindset of the manager that signed most of them.

Probably has somat to do with it

[morninbob]

Vitiniho gone...

[Swizzlestick]

I thought Johnstone had signed for Blades?

[willsclarets]

Must admit, don't know too much about Johnston, do other posters reckon he'd be ok?

According to my celtic pals, very hit and miss but not a reliable starter. Sounds like he'd be a good impact sub

He'll probably go to where he's been before

[Commy]

How many of Kompany's signings are left? Pace is clearing the decks of them all.

Wouldn’t that mean Sarmiento isn’t coming then?

[ISpeds00]

Benson and Koleosho both injured

[Mattster]

Wouldn’t that mean Sarmiento isn’t coming then?

Not necessarily, as tonight's lineup shows, we're short of wingers now.

[Tricky Trevor]

Imagine being Humphrey’s coming from Chelsea.

He will defo have signed expecting to be in the prem next season.

On the plus side he will get a locker.

Given the way our ship is sinking with everyone jumping overboard think it's more likely he will choose WBA

[Pearcey]

Benson and Koleosho both injured

“Injured”

[jojomk1]

“Injured”

Just like Berge was

[jrgbfc]

Whats going on with Dodgson? Injured or just out of favour?

[dandeclaret]

How many of Kompany's signings are left? Pace is clearing the decks of them all.

Bunny boiler behaviour?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Given the way our ship is sinking with everyone jumping overboard think it's more likely he will choose WBA

Look I can be as negative as anyone but the owners have a real chance to turn things around here. Sign Whittaker, this lad and retain foster the season looks a lot brighter.

We could line up against Blackburn with a front four of:

Johnston, Mejbri, Whittaker
Foster


That’s as good as anything else in this league

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hope the board surprise us in the next two days

[Tall Paul]

Imagine being Humphrey’s coming from Chelsea.

He will defo have signed expecting to be in the prem next season.

Imagine being Humphrey's what?

Smirking revenge?
Complete lack of surprise?
Inflamed sense of rejection?

[Murger]

There’s no chance we sign Whittaker.

[willsclarets]

Maybe this is it. So hurt is Alan, every face is a memory of his former gaffer. And in a rage of anger and despair, he's destroying the thing his former true love built.

[ISpeds00]

Look I can be as negative as anyone but the owners have a real chance to turn things around here. Sign Whittaker, this lad and retain foster the season looks a lot brighter.

Confident that Parker has the tools to bring in at least another 4 or 5 decent players to give the team a lift
With the potential to be as good as those leaving

[Newcastleclaret93]

There’s no chance we sign Whittaker.

I wouldn’t say no chance.

I think the chances are slim but if Pace wants to show intent this is the type of signing that is required

[RVclaret]

Really don’t like the Johnston signing but this is the only money we have it seems, shopping in the bargain basement again.

[KRBFC]

The other day you were saying Whittaker is shite because you saw him once on Sky (away from home when he didn’t touch the ball)

[willsclarets]

Really don’t like the Johnston signing but this is the only money we have it seems, shopping in the bargain basement again.

If he's a guy to come on for 30 mins and cover injuries it's a winner. If he's our no.1 go to, it's poor.

[ElectroClaret]

I wouldn’t say no chance.

I think the chances are slim but if Pace wants to show intent this is the type of signing that is required

To show intent he needs to cough up what Plymouth want, i reckon that's the only way we get him.

[willsclarets]

Hope the board surprise us in the next two days

The atmosphere on Saturday will be so much more upbeat if we can being 2 or 3 more quality players in.

[The Shire Claret]

How can we not have money to sign Whittaker ….

I can’t accept that

[Newcastleclaret93]

The other day you were saying Whittaker is shite because you saw him once on Sky (away from home when he didn’t touch the ball)

I didn’t say he was shite I said I wasn’t impressed by him and didn’t get the hype.

I also said I saw him on a few occasions.

However at this moment time I think he’s considerably better option than playing Sambo on the wing

[Blyclaret]

No chance of Johnson. WBA also agreed a fee. After spending a successful season with them he will choose them over us

[CrosspoolClarets]

I’d be amazed if we didn’t have the finances now to get some £10m signings in, especially if they include an obligation if promoted.

Vitinho and Trafford seem likely to go, Amdouni is with an obligation, Weghorst is off. So I understand why we may have to wait, but as long as these happen the money should be there to spend, even when considering wider financial issues.

We know ALK are risk takers, unfathomable if they don’t take that route now.

[Tall Paul]

No chance of Johnson. WBA also agreed a fee. After spending a successful season with them he will choose them over us

That's fine, it's Johnston we want anyway.

[Ipreferaflan]

Not a single person is relishing watching Burnley sell Muric, Berge, Amdouni, Al-Dakhil, O’Shea, Twine, Odobert, Zaroury, Gudmundsson (and possibly Brownhill, Koleosho and Foster) and trying to sign Josh Laurent with the funds. I promise you. Pace deserves any criticism he gets at the moment as long as it sticks to his stewardship of the club and not personal.

Trust me, people are relishing in the negativity.

[Andreshotboots]

Just like Berge was

Same as Tresor, or did he have Malaria, that's the best one I've heard yet and 10/10 on the excuse front..

[ecc]

Vitinho's not worth €9m and the Vitinho that was ostensibly on the pitch on Saturday's not worth 9p. But unless we replace him we're in it up to our necks.

[JimmyRobbo]

Listen, I know JL inside out. He can do it all. He has the ability to go all the way.

He hasn't, though. I wonder why.

Classic manager sacker. I wouldn't want him anywhere near unless for pennies.

[ecc]

Hope the board surprise us in the next two days

Well, they've already given it a good go these last ten days. Poor sods need a rest.

[ecc]

Is it Johnson, Johnston or Johnstone?
