Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[DCWat]

Absolutely. Pound for pound he’s arguably our worst signing (second spell), apart from WW

Is 2018 the year you started watching?

[roperclaret]

It's being going on for 3 years at least. It's beyond disrespectful.

Yet you’re happy to slag off other players as not good enough. Take a look in the mirror

[Murger]

If we end the window with Foster, a past it Jay Rod and an unproven Hountondji as our strikers, then we are going to really struggle.

[Claret53]

Jay Rod is an absolute professional. He has never let us down and will not do this season. It’s easy to be glib and dismissive, but not a good start for a sensible analysis. He will be a leader in the dressing room and, with the churn of players we have had, that is very valuable.

[gandhisflipflop]

Remember when we needed a goal scorer in 22/23? That worked out well.

[D8BFC]

To be fair we said the same 2 years ago when it was Barnes and Jay.

Before the btards game everyone said Barnes was finished.

I’d love it if history repeated itself tomorrow with Jay

[willsclarets]

I agree. It is a bit odd we're bidding for the likes of Whittaker and Flemming on the last day. I mean it's not as if Amdouni leaving could have been a shock to anyone the day we got relegated.

Crucially, we had Tella.

[D8BFC]

Crucially, we had Tella.

Sarmiento will get 15!

[willsclarets]

Sarmiento will get 15!

I think he's scored about 7 in his career to date, so that would be some going. But I hope you're right!

[mdd2]

Sarmiento will get 15!

Not for us if he hasnt signed and no evidence that he has

[RVclaret]

I think he's scored about 7 in his career to date, so that would be some going. But I hope you're right!

TBF wasn’t Tella even less than that?

[D8BFC]

Chill yer beans. He’s in

So would I, but it’s not going to happen.

[colne-claret]

Tella had scored less before joining us.

[Goliath]

Yet you’re happy to slag off other players as not good enough. Take a look in the mirror

Some players aren't good enough, don't care about the club and haven't given us years of service.

Jay Rod is the opposite of that and deserves a bit more respect than is shown to him. If you think it's fair to bundle him in with the likes of Vitinho, who is pretty much the only one I criticise consistently then that's up to you.

Personally I think he deserves more than that. How many players have we had born and raised in the town that have gone on to represent their country and then come back to represent their hometown club for a second time. He could have left numerous times since he re-signed and in the end has chosen loyalty each time.

[willsclarets]

TBF wasn’t Tella even less than that?

Is that right? Crikey well there's hope! Slight difference is that Tella came straight to the champ from the prem, whereas Sarmiento has had a crack in the champ with Ipswich and didn't get many. But who knows. Anthony has a goal in him too if you look at his Bournemouth record rather than his Leeds one.

My biggest hope tbh, is that Foster stays fit starts to deliver on some promise.

[Goliath]

I agree. It is a bit odd we're bidding for the likes of Whittaker and Flemming on the last day. I mean it's not as if Amdouni leaving could have been a shock to anyone the day we got relegated.

Odd is one word for it...

What does “he’s never let us down” actually mean?

Look, here is a fact for you. He’s not good enough at this level. He’s been really good, but now he isn’t. He’ll get a few if he gets some games, maybe a couple of headers from corners, but anyone suggesting we have a 15+ goal scorer (what we are likely to need for a serious promotion push) in Jay Rod is having a mare….

And if we don’t announce another striker, I hope to holy Christ I’m wrong, and if I am, good. Because that means he’s helped us have a good season, which is what we all want really.

But he’s useless as a footballer now, and has been for a while. I couldn’t give a shiny shite where he was born.

[scamander]

If I was in charge I'd hire a bunch of lookalikes, e.g. Beckham or even purely celebs to hang round the training ground.

"No sign of X but we have seen George Clooney, Austin Powers, James Bond, Big Bird and Elvis".

[Foshiznik]

Talk about an overreaction. Calm your keks

[1989_claret]

Sarimento confirmed

[bobinho]

Get in.

[Goliath]

But he’s useless as a footballer now, and has been for a while. I couldn’t give a shiny shite where he was born.

Again nonsense. It's only a few months since he got a chance to come on away at Chelsea and was absolutely terrific. He's still more than useful if we play into his chest and his feet, his touch and ability is of a much higher standard than this level.

If we are expecting him to be the number 9 this season then it's just ridiculous all round. He should be used as a number 10 mainly or as a false 9 and be more of a rotation option. It's very unlikely that he can play every week and stay fit.

[Woodleyclaret]

Excellent news

[Tricky Trevor]

Club announce Sarmiento in on loan

[colne-claret]

Provided we don’t sell anybody else today and Laurent & Sarmiento come in as expected. Where else do we need to improve?

Green, Trafford, Hladky

Sambo, Roberts

Ekdal, Beyer, Worrall, CJER, Esteve, Delcroix, Humphries

Dodgson, Pires

Cullen, Brownhill, Massengo, Hannibal, Laurent, Ramsey

Redmond, Sarmiento, Benson, Anthony, Koleosho, Agyei

Foster, Jay, Hountodj.

This excludes Tresor. Actually looking better than I expected. Would still like another attacking player personally and a versatile player that can play cover right and left back.

[BurnleyFC]

Good to get Sarmiento in, disappointed it’s only a loan, seemingly with no option or obligation to buy.

Right back, centre mid, number 10, number 9. Wideman who can get 10ish goals a season.
I think we are quite a lot short in terms of quality if we want to finish top 2. With that squad I'd say we we will be I'm a fight for 6th and a play off spot which isn't exactly what we were all hoping for.

Looking at this pretty obvious we are going to be short up front.

He may be a leader in the dressing room

But he is struggling to produce anything out of the dressing room, on the pitch

An additional striker should have been signed by now given we already knew the situ with WW and ZA weeks ago

Side note:- Ipswich still trying for a striker, this time Latte Lath at Boro

[Burnley Ace]

Hopefully he will stay in the dressing room as he shouldn’t be needed on the pitch.

[Foshiznik]

Would love to see use bring Bruun Larsen back even if just on loan. Major links to a cheap transfer to Fulham a month ago and nothing since. Only played 21 minutes of Hoffenheims first 3 games too

[Tinribs]

People are really easy to please if they think this is a good window if we don't get Whittaker or another permanent attacking player for decent money.
Bring in over 100 mill not including parachute oayments and spend about 10 including a 500k plodder from Stoke. Utterly dreadful

Cracking window for Burnley got over the odds for our in demand players Berge Odobert and O’Shea.

And managed to get rid of a lot of accumulated deadwood,who were mostly lacking any kind of desire to play for this famous football club.

Roll on tommorow hopefully 11 on the pitch and 9 on the bench who are prepared to go the extra mile,and not cave in soon as things get tough

[midlands claret]

Burnley sign Brighton winger Sarmiento
Burnley have signed Ecuador international Jeremy Sarmiento on a season-long loan deal from Brighton.

The 22-year-old winger helped Ipswich achieve promotion to the Premier League last season and will now spend the 2024/25 campaign at Turf Moor.

[Wokingclaret]

Hopefully he will stay in the dressing room as he shouldn’t be needed on the pitch.

Looking like he will be needed every game

[Burnley Ace]

Right back, centre mid, number 10, number 9. Wideman who can get 10ish goals a season.
I think we are quite a lot short in terms of quality if we want to finish top 2. With that squad I'd say we we will be I'm a fight for 6th and a play off spot which isn't exactly what we were all hoping for.

You need to watch more Championship football.

[warksclaret]

Jay is showing he is not up to it any more, but if as it looks we are not getting an out and out striker he will be utilised. I think the most we can expect from Jay is coming on with about 20 minutes to go when we are trying to manage the lead and the game. He then needs to play like he did at Chelsea last year when he came on. He held the ball brilliantly then and brought players in to the game. Expect him to play and unsettle defenders and put himself about then NO, as he clearly showed against Wolves second team. The other role he has is keeping players motivated and feeling loved. Its imperative Foster is now kept motivated and the club show him care-hopefully the likes of Jay and Josh can give Foster renewed confidence in his own ability

[willsclarets]

Good to get Sarmiento in, disappointed it’s only a loan, seemingly with no option or obligation to buy.

At this point, if they're through the door I couldn't care less what the agreement is

[colne-claret]

I think we sign a max of 2 more today excluding Laurent. Guessing defender and maybe an attacker.

[colne-claret]

I think our midfield will be best in the league or at least one of. Hannibal, Cullen & Brownhill is some midfield at this level.

[bobinho]

To me the club are holding off announcing Sarmiento and Laurent till later this evening in hope that it will make fans forgot that we have missed out on other targets needed.

If those 2 are the only signings then we are still very light at right wing, number 10 and striker

There’s glass half full, glass half empty, and glass broken.

You’re not even on that scale.

You can hedge your bets you lad… “Burnley won’t sign anyone else today… if they do they’ll delay it so it detracts from not signing (insert name/position here) “

They could just be preparing announcement videos…

More likely it’s what you said…

[Ibahjanner]

Please lord, let this be right

Been rejected and won't be sold this window.

[bobinho]

I think we sign a max of 2 more today excluding Laurent. Guessing defender and maybe an attacker.

Don’t worry… we could sign Man Utd’s forward line and he’d point out they aren’t good enough…

He will never, ever be happy with anything.

[mdd2]

Casper off to FC United so guess Trafford stays

[Socrates]

All gone quiet on Vitinho going hasn’t it?

[It Is What It Is]

It’s like fighting for scraps…..trying to sign players that nobody really wants just to get a player at a bargain price.
It’s not going to end well.

[Steddyman]

Much as I like Jay and can appreciate his influence around the dressing room, his legs are gone. He cleverly nicked the ball around a defender on Wednesday, but the defender had loads of time to turn and catch up to the ball well ahead of Jay.

It will be criminal if we don't bring in another forward, since we have no idea how many games we will get out of Foster, and he scored only 1 goal last time we were in the league. We need another Tella like loan at the last minute.
