Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Steddyman]

Hoffenheim have bid for Esteve - Fabrizio Romano.

Got to be one of those fake stories leaked by the club.

[TsarBomba]

Ipswich dumped out the cup tonight.

I’d be looking at a few of their players like Chaplin, Broadhead or Hirst who might not get much game time.

And if they do want Foster perhaps even a part-ex for a couple in return.

[burnley007]

Hoffenheim have bid for Esteve - Fabrizio Romano.

They must be being encouraged to make these offers.
We've only bought him a few weeks ago

[Steddyman]

Loan too. F*ck off.

[Bigvince]

Hoffenhiem bid for Esteves

Romano

Loan with buy option, no thanks. Clubs seem to be trying their arm, now the football world think we’re selling everybody!

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Got to be one of those fake stories leaked by the club.

That would be a bit risky to unsettle one of our few remaining top players.

[CatonClaret]

If we let Esteve go on loan with an option having just signed him this summer I think it’ll be the final straw for a lot of fans (if some of the other rumours haven’t been already!)

Would we need to replace him based on current CBS?

[Steddyman]

They can have him for £30m and JBL in return.

[BigGaz]

If you simply must flog him Alan then maybe ask them about JBL whilst you're on with em cheers

[wilks_bfc]

Hoffenhiem bid for Esteves

Romano

If we agree to that then that would really be the final kick in the nuts

[ralph8]

Wonder what Alan Pace thought of our attacking options tonight.

[RVclaret]

LongsideClaret suggested it would take a ridiculous offer to get Esteve and given this is simply not that it seems highly unlikely. He also doesn’t seem the type to sulk. Can’t see this one.

[Rick_Muller]

What is it with this recent trend of “loan to buy” deals. Clubs just kicking the can down the road and it needs to be stopped. If you want the player, sign them! (And I include us in that too)

[SGr]

We’ve long since crossed the rubicon of despair. We’re now firmly in the realm of “this is actually really funny”.

[ISpeds00]

Esteve off to Hoffenheim is a big no no
Just signed

[burnleymik]

Do not let Esteve go. For the love of god!

[agreenwood]

I’m willing to accept that we’ve engineered a lot of this ourselves, but I also think we’ve got a massive problem with the agents representing our players.

They are running amok and feeding the transfer gurus on social media.

[billyhamilton82]

Hoffenhiem bid for Esteves

Romano

I can't wait for this window to end.

I'm totally fed up with all of it especially theses bl00dy twitter journos Fabrice, Romano or wheatever they're called.

[willsclarets]

They won't let Esteve go

[claretburns]

Billing wasn’t in Bournemouth’s 20 players tonight. So unless he’s injured he’s clearly not in the plans of the manager there.

On the team news before the game SSN had him facing a late fitness test to be involved.

[dermotdermot]

Not that I’m that bothered but where exactly is Tresor?

God knows, but I hope he's not being paid.

[Vegas Claret]

if they flog Esteve then I'm Pace out

[Barden Lane]

Steve, I love you so
And I want you to know
That I'm, gonna miss your love
The minute you walk out that door
Steve don't go

[TsarBomba]

Hoffenheim have spent just shy of €50M this summer which for them is huge.

Their record signing ever is Hlozek for €18M.

Similarities to Celtic wanting O’Shea- they don’t have the money.

[BigGaz]

What is it with this recent trend of “loan to buy” deals. Clubs just kicking the can down the road and it needs to be stopped. If you want the player, sign them! (And I include us in that too)

Allows clubs to boot the cost into the next accounting year to stay within FFP/PSR.

Literally just robbing Peter to pay Paul, but they're all at it so it's an option that a lot of clubs are willing to consider.

[Steddyman]

New theory just came to me why everyone is leaving...

.. timing coincides with Wout coming back into camp. Maybe he's told them all they are better than little old Burnley

That will be why it is a loan that is not mandatory.

[BigBadBarnes]

I agree. But it is the agents job to do that. The issue to me is that clearly the club representatives have communicated to the agents that they are open to listening to offers, or there is little management of the situation to make it clear that certain players aren't for sale.

[DCWat]

Wonder what Alan Pace thought of our attacking options tonight.

Presumably, he needs to find a different employee to ask.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Do not let Esteve go. For the love of god!

I think many of us are reaching a tipping point.

[gawthorpe_view]

If we sell Esteve then I'm not going on Saturday.
And yes I have a season ticket.
The prospect of getting mullered by those Dollopers on our own ground is too much to contemplate.






Probably will go tho'.

[Woonderbah]

The only way I see Esteve leaving in this window is if Everton accept a late bid for Branthwaite and they dangle a 25m-30m carrot which Pace will find difficult to resist.

[Commy]

I think they sold season tickets under false pretences. After putting the price up.

[ClaretAndJew]

Wonder what Alan Pace thought of our attacking options tonight.

If you think he thinks anything other than the profit that can be made on players you're in dreamland.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Does Alan know we don’t have to sell someone if a bid comes in?

[Commy]

Tom Cannon

[TsarBomba]

That will be why it is a loan that is not mandatory.

He won’t be going out on loan.

[ksrclaret]

What an attractive offer Hoffenheim have made to us.

"We'll take your best centre back, who will be worth a fortune this time next year, on loan for the season, and if we like him enough, we might buy him from you next summer".

Hahahahaha. Unfortunately, since they're negotiating with Alan Pace, Matt Williams, Lee Mooney et al, it will probably be accepted.

[Goliath]

Not heard anyone mention Tresor for a few days. I wonder how much he makes every week to literally do nothing.

Surely he's making absolutely nothing whilst he's not turning up. Or has he got around that by throwing the mental health card which was rumoured.

[trawlen]

Back to Dyche era level transfers. Selling the entire team. Already lost interest in this season

[123EasyasBFC]

If selling everyone is the start of Alan Pace and ALK out our club then so be it, I would take mid table championship and starting again, if it meant getting Burnley football club back

[Newcastleclaret93]

Tom Cannon

https://insidefutbol.com/2024/08/28/bur ... ar/659023/

Now this is a serious downgrade

[Slurpy]

If as player who has signed up this window leaves then something sinister is going on, if that is not already evident.

[Commy]

How many season tickets did we sell? I can see the rest being empty as nobody in their right mind will pay the high price to watch what we are going to be watching. Should be fun after they moaned about atmosphere with a full house.

[Down_Rover]

They prepared management accounts at least monthly, and virtually all the annual income and expenses are known by the end of May. They have an accurate picture of the financial position before the year end.

What are you trying to prove?

You have made many assumptions there that only hold water if best practices are being followed. Mission to Burnley indicates that they weren’t

I have been I involved with many businesses far more sophisticated than BFC whohave no clue wat is happening accounts are prepared for them

[Firthy]

If as player who has signed up this window leaves then something sinister is going on, if that is not already evident.

Selling the family silver before they do a runner.

[Steddyman]

Now this is a serious downgrade

On Jay, on Foster or both. Not sure it is a downgrade even on both.

[Newcastleclaret93]

On Jay, on Foster or both. Not sure it is a downgrade even on both.

On foster.


Cannon is low end championship, similar to signing to laurent
