Hardly breaking news

[Row x]

If I was a player, I would really be concerned about signing for Burnley atm, especially if I had other options.

But we shall see.
We need at least 3 or 4 new players by tomorrow. Seems unlikely, but we wait...

If I was a player I'd want to go to a club where I would play
Daft thing is 3 weeks ago some of the players linked might have been reluctant to come here, when they might have struggled to even get on the bench

It's a little different now.

[CrosspoolClarets]

I do wonder with Sarmiento if it suited us for him to get 70 minutes match sharpness. Maybe we were a bit late to get him completed for Wolves? Alternately, there could be pieces still to resolve in either club, like us needing to ensure Amdouni was out. Touch wood all is now resolved because we need him badly. I would personally keep Foster if his head is focused because our front line then wouldn’t be a big downgrade on the first two games (Odobert maybe being a tad better than Sarmiento but only a tad).

[Foshiznik]

If we could get the original Championship Brentford Maupay, i would be all in trying to get him now.

Feel we also still need another left back and i've seen very few links for one which is concerning.

Really hoping Whittaker happens too!

I'm fine with Sarmiento being a replacement for Odobert at this level but there's a huge difference in ability between the two players. Which is why Odobert was sold to one of the big 6 (and straight into the starting lineup) for £30m and the other is being loaned to the Championship by Brighton.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Humphreys has the capabilities to play as left back.

From what I saw in the first half last night Egan-Riley inverted in to the midfield and we created a 3 at the back of Humphreys Worrall and mcNally when on the attack . Roberts did this role under Kompany albeit with another attacking fullback on the other side. If we can get the attacking players in this could be something we see utilised .

If you check the stats for Maupay the only club where he hasn’t scored goals regularly is at Everton. I recall Everton creating 3 clear cut chances in one game, all falling to Maupay, and he didn’t convert any of them.
Everton then loaned him back to Brentford for a brief spell and he started scoring goals again.

[Guller Bull]

Newcastle need to **** or get off the potty!

[Steddyman]

He would be the perfect replacement for Barnes. We’ve missed the antics

On last nights evidence, Hannibal is the angry man that we need.

[gandhisflipflop]

Wish list

Sarmiento
Anthony
Kebbel
Maupay
Whittaker
Centre midfielder if we lose brownhill.

This, Odobert is levels above Sarmiento but given where we are in the window, I’ve come around to being really relieved he’s signing.

[GetIntoEm]

jesus christ, koleosho didnt refuse to play, he's nursing a knock, he has trained and if still here likely to be back for saturday.

anyone who gets wound up with these sort of stories, just pop down to Gawthorpe and have a look through the trees. you'll see.

Luca will happily stop on his way in or out also, ask if yourself why he's down tools.

Josh Laurent done deal (Mike McGrath).

Let's hope it's just to strengthen our numbers and not replace Brownhill.

[mybloodisclaret]

Wish list

Sarmiento
Anthony
Kebbel
Maupay
Whittaker
Centre midfielder if we lose brownhill.

This + hope Cullen is fit + Esteve is still here!!

[Hedontplayforyou]

Good look to Laurent - just hope the rest of our midfield contingent stay too.

[ervi34]

Sacha: Negotiations ongoing between Ipswich and Burnley for Foster.

To me, this looks like his agent saying: "Come and get him". Obviously there's nothing close because he played yesterday and not sure he'd be in squad if he refused to play. Ipswich also looking at other strikers.

[Pearcey]

Don’t know much about Josh Laurent but Mike McGrath knows his onions.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Exactly this, some of the comments I have read aimed at Foster (not on here before some dive in) calling him a c**t, w***er and other abusive names which seems to have come about because a story broke about Ipswich being interested and then hearsay about he hasn't trained or is sulking are really poor. Some of these probably then hammered again for not applauding the fans last night.

If he has seen the comments which I find it hard to imagine he hasn't is it any wonder he doesn't rush over and say cheers.

[Pearcey]

Reckon Brownhill will be off now.

[Murger]

LongsideClaret has been quiet.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Much of Odobert is potential though. He has a huge ceiling, but on a wet Championship December midweek what would he be like? I bet inconsistent. That’s all I’m saying. I try my best not to rubbish new incomings if I can, I see this one being fine. I’d have kept Odobert of course given the chance.

[NewClaret]

Newcastle need to **** or get off the potty!

Funny but tbf, they are probably playing a good game.

I can’t see us turning down any kind of offer that delivers even a small profit if they make it tomorrow. It’s clear we’re either skint or trying to rid the whole squad from any Kompany signings.

[mybloodisclaret]

LongsideClaret has been quiet.

Not sure if that is positive or not....

[Goody1975]

Heard Koleosho refused to play last night

Where did you hear this? At confessions?

[Shaggy]

Laurent is not someone I know a great deal about. Seems to play a lot of games and is/was stokes captain so must have something about him.

[kentonclaret]

Reckon Brownhill will be off now.

If true, the family silver is being sold off and replaced with tin plate replicas.

Josh leaving would be in line with selling off all of the players that scored in the opening 2 matches.

[nil_desperandum]

Probably go back in for him at the death when we have nobody else and be told to do one.

Or - with no other options - we'll finally pay them what they want, believed to be £10 million.
They need to sell him as I understand it.

[GetIntoEm]

Selling Trafford, although id be happy if he stayed would be the least of our worries. We've got enough capable keepers.

[CrosspoolClarets]

The Foster thing, we have to remember the way these multi millionaire agents use social media, via their pawns the “transfer gurus”, to manipulate and stir the pot. They are actively trying to cause discontent. I wouldn’t even put it past them to have fake accounts too starting fake rumours like “player x has refused to train”. They are the lowest of the low.

Of course the player may at times be complicit in this. But they are a pawn too for their agent’s mass wealth building empire.

Let’s not pan our players until we know for sure if something is true.

[RVclaret]

Trafford needs to stay. Number 1. We’ve invested loads in him. And he’s actually pretty good.

[Shaggy]

[BigBadBarnes]

people genuinely believe that the transfer money goes to Alan Pace, bonkers world

I don't think people actually do. It's just a lazy way of people saying that club revenue is going to pay off debts created by the owners purchase of the club. Whereas for many other clubs that we are competing with, the revenue will go in to improving the club.

[JimmyRobbo]

I've folloowed Laurent's career reasonably closely.

I've said it elsewhere and I'll say it again, it is an awful signing unless he is a reserve. He is a manager sacker. He is capable of everything but he is just another mmissing player in far too many performances. Browny is 10x as valuable, if not more.

Why do we think Stoke are prepared to let their "captain" walk?

If we want a potter, we should be looking at Berger. He is a difference maker.

[Steddyman]

Thanks for your input James

[colne-claret]

I’d be shocked and very disappointed if Laurent was a replacement for Brownhill or Cullen. If it’s a squad option, I’m absolutely fine with it.

I must admit, I’m really struggling to see what Laurent adds to this squad.

Got to imagine he’s fifth choice based on who we already have. As long as he’s being brought in as a squad player and not replace Cullen or Brownhill I guess it can work.

He’s mid to low end championship player.

[1HappyClaret]

LongsideClaret has been quiet.

Transferred to Ipswich with an obligation to buy if they stay up

[cockneyclaret]

Definitely a squad player and no more, can't see the negativity with it. SP obviously has done his homework on him

Sounds like what Sheffield United fans were saying about Sander before we bought him

[BigBadBarnes]

Brownhill, Cullen, Hannibal, Ramsey, Massengo.

If Laurent is to be added to that, you would imagine Brownhill will be gone. If not, you would hope transfer budget is being spent on areas of genuine need, ie. Wide men, a number 10, and a CF

Reminds me of another "awful" player we got from Huddersfield too lol

Maybe sometimes players just need a.change, SP obviously sees something in him..Afield was labeled all of the above and was superb for us, our own fans slated Chris Wood who's gone on to continue scoring Premier League goals.

If this lad is now a Claret, and he's prepared to come with all this change going on, that's good enough for me for my unwavering support

[ervi34]

Except no one said that about Berge.

[123EasyasBFC]

Guy that usually tells me bits of information from his family member said that yesterday the club were behind extra cautious about staff at the training ground. The fact the article made it to the sun won’t of sat well with the club

[Andreshotboots]

One of those is injured long term still, and one is very inexperienced..Maybe that's why SP has gone for Laurent to add a bit of knowhow..

[Rileybobs]

LongsideClaret has been quiet.

Perhaps he's been rumbled as a mole.

[Newty]

LongsideClaret has been quiet.

Pace has caught his source and has him tied up in a ww2 bunker under Gawthorpe. loose lips sink ships.

[Rileybobs]

The classic canary trap.

[Commy]

Unlike a lot of fans who say their player is rubbish when they are being sold, Stoke fans on Oatcake have not had a lot of good things to say about Laurent for quite a while. I think he infuriates them because he can play but only one game out of a number of games. Hope Scotty can make him consistant.
