Brilliant

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:35 pm

Seems like a very good signing to me. I've read that he's often operated very well up front and I'm hoping that's the case looking at our other options.

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:35 pm

Excellent.

Get amongst em lad.

Cubanforever · Post by **Cubanforever** » Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:36 pm

Any chance he's in the frame tomorrow ?

What a signing. Pulled a rabbit out of the hat there.

Flemming article on the dot as usual. Can't be much ink left in that pen of yours after this window CT (no suggestive disparagement intended)

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Aug 30, 2024 11:55 pm

Just added to the article. Nothing said by Burnley but Millwall have confirmed it was a substantial bid and that we have an obligation to purchase at the end of the loan. So, in effect, he's now our player full time.

Substantial loan fee and £7m to buy at the end of season ... age 26, with an Ajax youth background, good news !!

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 12:15 am

Millwall fans dub him “the Bermondsey Bergkamp”. If he’s a fraction of the player Bergkamp was, it’s a great signing.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 12:22 am

Don’t know much about him, but 23 goals and 9 assists in 2 seasons are brilliant stats.

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 12:36 am

Very good player. Remember him giving us a hard time when we played Millwall a couple years ago.

Delighted with this signing. Brings more than physicality, Champ experience and hopefully goals. Our central area is seriously strong now.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 7:26 am

I have to be honest I’ve never heard of him but going on what other posters have said he sounds like he’ll be a very good signing.

Really like that interview. Not a trace of ego but obviously has confidence in his abilities. Family important to him and being part of a good group. Loved what he said about his relationship with his agent too; not constantly agitating for a move just focusing on his job.

Welcome to Burnley!

Brilliant signing, the real deal and certainly a more attack minded version of Sander Berge.

Clovius Boofus · Post by **Clovius Boofus** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 7:45 am

This is a brilliant signing. Can't wait to see him play for us.

claretlegend · Post by **claretlegend** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 7:53 am

I feel we've signed some good characters this last few weeks. It's so important to have these if we're planning on promotion and probably what we didn't have enough of last season.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:05 am

So, if figures are to be believed, 7m ish. Isn't that what we're rumoured to have paid for Flemming?

Would you make that swap?

I'm sorry to see Vitinho leave but I'd take that swap every day.

Great signing by the sound of it. I’ve seen his name but tbh I can’t remember seeing him play?

In all seriousness can anyone offer a comparison with Berge? His stats at Championship level look good.

claretspice · Post by **claretspice** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:20 am

Very good signing this.

Don't think the comparison is with Berge but from what ive seen I suspect we'll use him in a similar role to the one Billing played in Parker's Bournemouth team (and so essentially replace what Jay has been asked to do in the last 2 league games. He's a similar sort of physical presence in the number 10 role but he might have a better all round game than Billing, and he's a worthy long term replacement for Rodriguez.

Think that sort of 10 might get the best out of Foster because there'll be less onus on him to hold the ball up.

williamjblazkowicz · Post by **williamjblazkowicz** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:21 am

Does anyone have a decent video of Flemming's goals and assists for Millwall? I'm surprised I can't really find anything on YouTube. All of his compilation clips seem to be from his previous clubs which is strange when you consider the number of goals he got for Millwall.

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:36 am

When should he be fit to play for us?

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:38 am

Seems to be a very good signing for this level. Must be an improvement on the last player who was masquerading as a number 10.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:46 am

Top class player still with a lot to prove and a good football pedigree. More than anything else he should help us get the goals we need to do well this season.

Great interview. Totally agree that we seem to have signed the right characters with a good mix of age and experience while sorting out the squad with departures. We will see how the season goes but I don’t think AP and SP could have done any more.

Clovius Boofus · Post by **Clovius Boofus** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 8:59 am

What a good interview. He came across as the kind of bloke you'd love to work with if your job entailed being part of a team.

I watched a few of the intro interviews back to back last night and thought exactly that.

We have got the player we really wanted last season in the Premier League.

Zeki Amdouni was instead of Flemming.

Bye Zeki.

Now we have the real deal and he will tear it up in the Championship.

Just watch !

Blyclaret · Post by **Blyclaret** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:11 am

A no 10 is a very important position. Links with midfield and the striker and scores goals. And from what i can see of Flemming he excels at all 3.
Amdouni was not good in that role.

turfytopper · Post by **turfytopper** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 11:19 am

An upgrade on Amdouni IMO

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 3:32 pm

Sat near him today.

Zian rhymes with Ian for those who weren't sure.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 5:49 pm

Very confident he will be the game changer. I don’t often think that about a player

Certainly an upgrade in the 10 role for sure. I still rate Amdouni though but he needs someone around him to do the heavy lifting.

Absolutely delighted with this signing. Well done to all at BFC for turning things around and giving us hope for a successful season.

morninbob · Post by **morninbob** » Sun Sep 01, 2024 1:23 pm

I see that he likes a free kick, a touch of the Scott twines about him.
