January Transfer Window Rumours

[Roosterbooster]

I’ve seen the odd bit on Tella with Bayer, how involved is he (I know he’s had some game time, but not how much)? I do get the impression he adores Ash.

24/25

20 appearances
9 starts: only 4 in league, but has started last 3
3 assists, 1 goal

Gets a run out most games though, including Champions League

[Guller Bull]

Barnes bounces back

Put that keeper in the net Ashley!!

[Guller Bull]

Aye forget all that . Been out all day yesterday and hadn’t seen all the chat.

Got a horrible feeling Sheffield utd will really strengthen this window with some astute signings, while we bring in Barnes and loan a few out. Really hope I'm wrong

They have a far weaker squad than we do, to begin with. The difference in both our benches a week ago was stark.

Sheffield United wanted Barnes.

Nixon- Leicester making a move for Latte Lath. £12M quoted.

Strange one for me that. He has scored goals at this level but he was distinctly unimpressive in his two games against us recently, nowhere near Premier League level in my opinion but who am I to argue with Ruud on strikers!

Vincent Kompany was useless for us in the Premier League but is apparently doing the business at Bayern Munich. Horses for courses maybe?
Latte Lath has proven he is a finisher when presented with the chances and that may occur more often when playing for Leicester in the PL.

[Cooclaret]

Sheffield United wanted Barnes.

I heard that as well, seems strange!

[Swizzlestick]

I heard that as well, seems strange!

Not really. You'd imagine Wilder would be all over somebody like Barnes. I've noticed him mentioning how young his team is in some of the post match interviews this season.

[Woodleyclaret]

Already Ash looks a clever signing by SP lifting morale and adding a proven goal threat.I can totally see why Sheffield United wanted him.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

That's just what we need, another 35 years-old striker just back from injury who wasn't even prolific two years ago in a team that created and scored for fun.

They must be hanging on my every word

[kentonclaret]

I would have thought it far more likely that Wilder would want to bring McBurnie back into the fold (a player that was the focus of several posters on here) but let’s just see how it all pans out.

[NewClaret]

Very confident you’ll be wrong there (about us, not not Sheffield United - they’ll strengthen too).

[NewClaret]

I’m delighted Barnes is back, but would also have loved McBurnie.

He’d add some height, physicality, experience and will obviously have a few more years left than Ash. If Wilder tempts him back, that’ll be a good signing for them.

[Ric_C]

I hope so mate

Any interesting insights to share NewClaret?

[123EasyasBFC]

Mcburnie should still be an option to us even after getting Barnes back

[Stonehouse]

Mcburnie should still be an option to us even after getting Barnes back

Imagine Hannibal,Barnes and McBurnie all in attack with Kevin Ball and Barton in midfield.Sky would be giving out warnings before the game for our more fragile fans.

[NewClaret]

Any interesting insights to share NewClaret?

Sorry AD, nothing at all. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I was given any info on a signing

Reasons:

- Pace will know this is his best chance of promotion. Next year it’ll be much tougher. His role is to protect and grow other’s investments which will be very difficult without an immediate return. I don’t think he’s daft; he’ll know we sold too much attacking talent in the summer and are now reaping the consequences. I think he’ll want to put that right.

- We’ve just signed Sonne. A position that will become urgent in summer but not immediately with Roberts, Sambo as cover and Humphreys able to play there too. I very much doubt we’d have spent on that position if we didn’t have money and it was going to hinder plans to strengthen in attacking positions.

[NewClaret]

Mcburnie should still be an option to us even after getting Barnes back

I hope so. He would be brilliant.

He or Guiu as a very different option and for different reasons would be my top choices.

[Woodleyclaret]

McBurnie ? Lol

[boatshed bill]

Bunch of softshytes compared to Brian O'Neil

[randomclaret2]

Andre Gray has left Plymouth

[Sapperclaret73]

Hopefully barnes has a little word with Luca. “ don’t over think it, trust yourself and beat your man. I’ll be in the box make sure its a good ball in”.

[morninbob]

Cornet going back to west ham and Charlie Taylor available from Southampton.

[Targetman]

Burnley signed Ashley Barnes

Uhhm....what was it that you have been telling us all week?

[jojomk1]

Think that puts to bed any other striker coming to the club in January

Any chance we can recall Obafemi plus Andre Gray not being kept on by Plymouth so available on a free
Cheeky bid for Sam Vokes ?

[Stonehouse]

Bunch of softshytes compared to Brian O'Neil

I’m sure there would be room for The Beddlington Terrier in between Ball and Barton and play Angus ,Miller Blant and Elder at the back with Blacklaw in the nets

[ClaretTony]

Andre Gray has left Plymouth

No surprise - only on a short term contract and apart from two superb goals in one game he’s struggled for game time and goals

[Goliath]

No surprise - only on a short term contract and apart from two superb goals in one game he’s struggled for game time and goals

He can't run anymore which was basically his strongest asset. Probably time to retire

[ClaretTony]

Sheffield United wanted Barnes.

Something I won’t disagree with

[123EasyasBFC]

Sign Charlie Taylor and send Pires out on loan

[Vegas Claret]

No surprise - only on a short term contract and apart from two superb goals in one game he’s struggled for game time and goals

Wrexham should sign him until the end of the season, would score plenty in 6 months in League One

[jojomk1]

Sign Charlie Taylor and send Pires out on loan

Sounds a reasonable idea but Taylor's wages would be a stumbling block

Pires will be 24 in March so nobody can accuse him of being a youngster learning the league - he does have good and bad points to his game

And he signed a 4 year deal last summer so he should be ready now for this level never mind the Prem

[TsarBomba]

Sky reporting Ipswich looking at Ben Doak on a permanent deal.

Could be a bad window for Boro if they also lose Latte Lath.

[warksclaret]

I have heard Brentford have made a substantial bid for the Liverpool youngster

[Jakubs Tash]

Sign Charlie Taylor and send Pires out on loan

Taylor, Benrahma and Brereton-Diaz on loan and we’d be looking strong.

[123EasyasBFC]

Taylor, Benrahma and Brereton-Diaz on loan and we’d be looking strong.

Don’t think we need two left sided wingers but defo one and a right sided one

[randomclaret2]

I have heard Brentford have made a substantial bid for the Liverpool youngster

Palace have also apparently bid £15m

[Stonehouse]

Taylor, Benrahma and Brereton-Diaz on loan and we’d be looking strong.

Can’t remember Brereton -Diaz having any rave notices since he left the dark side.

[Jakubs Tash]

Can’t remember Brereton -Diaz having any rave notices since he left the dark side.

At Championship level?

[Jakubs Tash]

Don’t think we need two left sided wingers but defo one and a right sided one

Benrahma could play anywhere across the pitch and be the best player at this level.

[Burnley Ace]

At Championship level?

At any level, I’d rather have the original Andy Carroll rather than that poor substitute!!!

[Jakubs Tash]

Strange comment….i wouldn’t.

The point was, I don’t think he’s played at Championship level since leaving them.

What would we do with the loan players we already have?
