Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[AGENT_CLARET]

When Parker got Bournemouth promoted from the Championship he had the services of Solanke to call upon who scored 29 goals that season.
When he got Fulham up through the play offs he could call upon Mitrovic.
If Parker managed to get Burnley in the top 6 relying on Foster and J Rod it would be more than a minor miracle.

How many did our strikers Foster and Jay Rod score out of the 9 we scored in the first two game's

Other players in other positions score goals to you know

[burnley007]

That’s where I’m at, would still hope for a proper striker as well as Whittaker though, personally. Unlikely though.

We really need a player like Whittaker, I actually think we'll get him in by tomorrow, not sure why I'm so confident, but I think Parker really likes a goal scorer, (Foster has never been a goal scorer).

[RVclaret]

We’ve bought Houndontji as a striker. Signing actual wingers means we can play him in his correct role.

[123EasyasBFC]

Two loans I’ve heard about that aren’t on the radar (haven’t read everything mind) to come

Can see Ben Doak at Liverpool being one of those names, right winger at Liverpool

[agreenwood]

No further word on Esteve today so are we to take it he’s definitely staying?

I’d rule nothing out until 11pm tomorrow.

[Stonehouse]

More loans on our books than Nationwide

We didn’t do too bad with THB Maatsen Beyer and Tella last time we were in the Championship.

[kentonclaret]

How many did our strikers score in our promotion season? I seem to remember us weighing in from all different positions, and predominantly Tella who was plying more of a winger/10 role.

Didn’t Tella score 17?

That’s the sort of striker contribution needed with others weighing in.

[warksclaret]

My worry now is if Foster stays we dont have another No 9 to compete with him.We saw last night and on Saturday v Sunderland that Jay is absolutely finished in even the Championship. Hountondji -well I cant make him out but he seems well off the mark, and the way Foster has been behaving he could come out, if he stays and says "he is in a dark place" and can't play until further notice. I may have misjudged the guy and he could in fairness put
his head down and give us performances which we remember him for ie Villa away. Lets see and hope for both the club and his well being

[Hapag Lloyd]

Can see Ben Doak at Liverpool being one of those names, right winger at Liverpool

He’s going to Hull.

[123EasyasBFC]

He’s going to Hull.

Not him then hahaha

[AGENT_CLARET]

Good! Rightly so as well, it should have been Odobert level at least due to the time. Good on the club/Pace with that.

A lot if dickheads on X are saying how can a Burnley player be worth 40m

Not the player himself but the fact he's a Burnley player, if he was a Brentford player that only scored one goal and was relegated that'd be okay he'd be worth 40m but not a Burnley player

[Rileybobs]

Not sure where this has been said. But they're absolutely correct that Koleosho isn't worth £40m. We signed him for £2.6m, in what world is he worth £40m 17 games and 2 goals and 1 assist later.

[Cooclaret]

That’s interesting if true, with Whittaker being a loan, that would make it 6 loans with Sarmiento and only 5 can be named in each match day squad

Don’t know about those mentioned, but the two someone told me about would be in match day squads I think.

[Commy]

In a world where we have stopped him going by putting a ridiculous price on him.

Jay is finished as a striker in the Championship because he's played a couple of games, two of them out of position, and not produced.

Love that logic.

He knows where the net is. If we had a single winger or creative player on the pitch it might help.

I can understand criticism of his injury record, but he's capable at this level.

[Taffy on the wing]

We’ve bought Houndontji as a striker. Signing actual wingers means we can play him in his correct role.

He looks pretty clumsy....ill be shocked & surprised if he turns out to be any good.

[Silkyskills1]

Didn’t Tella score 17?

That’s the sort of striker contribution needed with others weighing in.

Remember some complaining that he scored too many hat-tricks.

[JR1882]

That was me

[bumba]

He looks pretty clumsy....ill be shocked & surprised if he turns out to be any good.

I'll be shocked if he scores 5 goals before he leaves the club

[louieollie]

We’ve bought Houndontji as a striker. Signing actual wingers means we can play him in his correct role.

But that's being sensible RV, too many imbeciles on here want him to fail before he gets a chance!!

[RVclaret]

I’ve read detailed reports on him from professional scouts including one who spent a full season scouting him. Given how optimistic he was over this signing I’ll give him more than 2 games playing out of position in 2 poor team performances in seriously weakened squads.

[gandhisflipflop]

Sensible point of view RV. He does look a bit clumsy though. I hope he succeeds

[Sapperclaret73]

Vetro signs.

[kentonclaret]

Over the past 10 seasons in the Championship the leading goal scorer has finished with a tally ranging from 20 to a ridiculous 43.
Ideally to have a promotion winning season you need a striker bagging around 15-20.

[jedi_master]

I’ve read detailed reports on him from professional scouts including one who spent a full season scouting him. Given how optimistic he was over this signing I’ll give him more than 2 games playing out of position in 2 poor team performances in seriously weakened squads.

Of course nobody can judge the player and he needs to be seen in his actual position. I would still twist on someone like Tom Cannon as a further striking option, personally (in addition to Whittaker who I assume we see playing wide right).

[Sutton-Claret]

Vetro signs.

Do you mean the player Dundee signed recently?

[JimmyRobbo]

Not sure where this has been said. But they're absolutely correct that Koleosho isn't worth £40m. We signed him for £2.6m, in what world is he worth £40m 17 games and 2 goals and 1 assist later.

The world where M Tresor is worth 18m?

I agree with your sentiments.

[burnley007]

Why be so abusive??
I don't get it.

[Tricky Trevor]

Folk seem to have forgotten that he was VKs chosen one last season with Odobert getting splinters on the bench. He was also impressive regardless of goals and assists. £40m would be too high but if we got £30m for Odobert he has to be similar.

[Guller Bull]

What Scott said!

https://www.burnleyexpress.net/sport/fo ... ve-4761484

I'm not in the "Scotty" camp yet but what he says in that article above is bang on.

[RVclaret]

The world where M Tresor is worth 18m?

I agree with your sentiments.

Tresor was £13m.

[Ric_C]

Regarding Hountondji, it is worth remembering that Foster looked like a pub player in his first few appearances in 2023 so he may just need a bit of time to get up to speed with things

[jedi_master]

£40m is a scare off price and it’s good to see us adopting those tactics. Hes not worth that but with the timing of the window and how much upheaval we’ve had, he’s worth an awful lot to us right now.

[BleedingClaret]

Regarding Hountondji, it is worth remembering that Foster looked like a pub player in his first few appearances in 2023 so he may just need a bit of time to get up to speed with things

Needs to play up top
If that’s his game
To know if he has the ability

[Philss_99]

Do you mean the player Dundee signed recently?

Sky Sports reporting

Dundee FC announce loan signing from Burnley

Dundee FC have announced the signing of midfielder Julien Vetro on a season-long deal from Burnley.

[Mattster]

The thing with Koleosho is it's his potential. He's got more raw tools than Odobert, just less end product at the moment. Koleosho, IMO, is very similar to Doku - the type of player those wanting to emulate Guardiola will want and will pay massively for.

[BleedingClaret]

Tresor was £13m.

Bargain
£’s per minutes on the pitch
£’s per assists made
£’s per goals scored
£’s per points the last 2 secured

[distortiondave]

Needs to play up top
If that’s his game
To know if he has the ability

That's almost a haiku.

[jedi_master]

If Tresor is still here after the bell strikes then he needs a clean slate. He will know as much as anyone else that he’s been crap for us so far, but it’s a lower league and he’s got no weight of pressure on him. Who knows, he might be the saviour.

[warksclaret]

Jay is finished as a striker in the Championship because he's played a couple of games, two of them out of position, and not produced.

Love that logic.

He knows where the net is. If we had a single winger or creative player on the pitch it might help.

I can understand criticism of his injury record, but he's capable at this level.

Have to disagree and my opinion that is largely confirmed this season, is also based on a steady decline in Jay's performances that started in the second half of the 2021/2022 season under Dyche. Whether he is in or out of position this season, I cannot recall anything he did Saturday or last night and was singled out by a neutral presenting the game on SKY. He was almost running away from any potential challenge. McDermott contributed more in the second half than Jay has in the past two games.

[BleedingClaret]

That's almost a haiku.

I’d add 2 more lines but for the edit function

[DCWat]

Bargain
£’s per minutes on the pitch
£’s per assists made

I still can’t believe that there isn’t a player in there (somewhere).

The Championship certainly won’t be a forgiving league for him, but it might, just might allow him to adapt to the English game, settle in and show us what he can actually deliver.

Plenty players coming in from abroad have needed a season or so to adapt - for whatever reason(s) he’s not even had that.

Hopefully he’s given a fair go, if he does knuckle down, and aims to work his way into the first team reckoning.

Totally agree.

25 assits for Foster

[Vegas Claret]

Not sure where this has been said. But they're absolutely correct that Koleosho isn't worth £40m. We signed him for £2.6m, in what world is he worth £40m 17 games and 2 goals and 1 assist later.

That Romano bloke often mis-reports fees etc. It was probably 30

[JimmyRobbo]

Tresor was £13m.

Bargain. I stand corrected on every level.

I don’t think we’ll ever see him play
But we can’t just let him be here, but not actually be here, and 13mil be wasted

[DCWat]

Exactly - it’s in our interests, as well as his, to try get him firing.

[Guller Bull]

Still don't get how football transfers work really.
If I go into my local used car dealer and he has a car that I would like to purchase with a sticker price of £8k and I go in and offer him £4k he tells me "No" in whatever polite way he can. If I go in and say £7k and he wants to sell it then then we haggle a bit and agree on £7.5k and he chucks in a free service.
If I offer him £8k he says "ta very much there's the keys!" No negotiation


If he puts a sticker price of £8k on the windscreen and you offer £8k then he says "No actually I want £12k" then you tell him to $"%^ off and recommend that none of your pals buy from there.

I get it's not motors or slabs of meat but a bit of transparency ffs

[BleedingClaret]

Exactly - it’s in our interests, as well as his, to try get him firing.

It won’t be here
We’ll have to loan him and hopefully he’ll perform and will be saleable

[Guller Bull]

If Tresor is still here then let's have a look at him and see if he can produce what we expected. Absolute clean slate
