That must be their version of Newcastle Claret

[burnleycclaret]

Possibly people might be seeing you post on here and might think can we get him with another screenshot

The screenshot might mention Tresor starting vs Reading as well.

[SamH37]

Had 2 more screenshot conversations sent about tella this morning. Being announced next week according to these. Might the Chinese whispers affect where people are just lying about the same rumour they’ve already heard.

Could you send the screenshots?

[Ziggy Stardust]

A lot of people clamouring for a striker. Would Gyokeres be good enough for us now? Seem to remember plenty of the football experts on here saying he wasn't good enough for us.....

Although some did see his potential.

That did make me chuckle haha

Interesting to see other fans views.

You can see how we will have become an entitled fan base to other Championship clubs fans when we’re complaining about signing Shelvey.

I’m not convinced he’ll be as good as that but definitely a very solid signing who I think will play more than people expect.

[Billyblah]

Glad about traff

Certainly not at 20m.

If we go up we should ask for 40

Didn't we buy him for £19m? He's subsequently had PL and Championship experience. £20m would be an insult.

£14m, potential to rise to £19m which it won’t have given relegation, you’d expect.

I can take or leave this one. I understand the logic behind the signing if he does sign.

At first I called bull because he apparently trained so wouldn’t train if he hadn’t signed but then realised Egan was training for weeks before he signed

Have you heard if any substance to a hiccup in the Shelvey deal?

[burnleycclaret]

Could you send the screenshots?

I'd have a wild guess at no

[JR1882]

Bit out of the loop so quick catch-up needed.


Rumours/live gossip I am seeing is

Redmond to Brum
Traff to Newcastle though more likely summer
Shelvey at Gawthorpe and training prior to signing
Tella (not at training ground ) loan with obligation to purchase at 20mill
Delacroix turned down loan move
Steve to Spurs?
Brownhill to Hammers?

Any bit of truth in any of these and what others are being discussed?

Can’t see Brownhill going West Ham with potter there now is is technically nowhere near good enough for that.

Can’t see Steve going either me, 100% in the summer I think but given we are in an automatic spot I’d imagine we would hang on and get over the line.

If SP is that desperate to sign him it’s not a great risk until the end of the season ,let’s face it we’ve been paying one sick note for 18 mths probably on a lot more than Shelvey who hasn’t any intention to go on the pitch.

[mdd2]

Cant really afford too many "cheap free transfers" where fitness maybe a problem when the squad size is limited to 25 players over 21 on Jan 1st 2024.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Would be a shame if the Shelvey deal doesn’t happen.

Had a look at his stats earlier and he has played a heck of a lot of 90 minute games without being subbed. Last season played nearly a full season in the Turkish league before moving clubs. Season before was his only the bitty season, the one where he moved to Forest in January and fell out with Cooper. But played an awful lot for Newcastle before that for many seasons, 90 minute after 90 minute.

If he is fit, great, better range of passing than any current midfielder we have, if he fails a medical, I suppose that is one of those things.

Broke it a week or two ago about Esteve going to Spurs.

There was a Spurs article in November about it, it would have to be silly money.

That’s the problem with Shelves. If the brackets aren’t secured properly they can collapse at any moment.

almost as if the deal "hinged" on them

Some horse-bummers laughed when they heard about Shelvey....what with him being 32 and all.

Nixon just revealed they're in hot pursuit of unwanted 33yo Forshaw at Plymouth.

They're not laughing now.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from about all his 90 minute appearances for Newcastle but it is not accurate. In his last 4 full seasons there he missed on average more than a third of the games each season which is a big chunk. My Newcastle friend said he was injured and disciplined a lot while there.

Is your lad's group chat credible? In the summer posters shared rumours from their son's groups that turned out to be ********. Can't remember if it was you or not though.

[123EasyasBFC]

We will be incredibly lucky to have another season of esteve even if we are promoted

[burnleycclaret]

Has a lengthy contract so it'll take some seriously big money to get him unless he has a small release fee.

I stand by what I said.

In 21/22 he started 22 games in the Premier League and generally played 90 minutes, in 20/21 he started 29 games and again usually played the full game. That’s a good record in a side that even then rotated a lot. He had a few injuries but only muscular.

That’s a pretty demanding schedule only 3 years ago so I’d be confident he could do a dozen or so games in the Championship if he passes a medical.

Hard to say, there’s been some things that have seemed banged on he’s said and others that’s total rubbish, for example in the summer in his group chat he said they were offering Lampard the job but then yesterday when I posted around lunchtime that Shelvey was at the training ground that was in his group chat and it soon did the rounds on twitter after

Are any kids group chats credible?

I certainly wouldn't be repeating them.

CB doesn’t worry me even if Esteve goes. We seem to be blessed in that department.

Some people do have genuine sources. Years back, long before social media, I had two mates that worked at the club and got to find lots of stories before they were announced.

CJ can leave for free in summer.

Not quite. We would be due compensation.

No way should Steve be sold his is integral to our superb defence.

Bastards have are trying outdo us to sign Shelvey but they’ve got confused and gone for Thomas Shelby .

I think some folk need to start a "Transfer window Facts" thread, saves them coming on this "Rumours" thread moaning about sources.

[bfcjg]

Tella scored in 25 seconds

Superb finish as well.
I think we can only dream of getting him back.

[The Shire Claret]

Only way it happens is if we get promoted and establish

[Vegas Claret]

anyone that posts Tella is coming should get a one month ban !

+ About £40-£50 million ?...it ain't happening Shire.

[The Shire Claret]

I agree

[Stonehouse]

Watching Maatsen tonight the Villa players don’t seem to want to pass to him ,how about a cheeky loan bid.

[123EasyasBFC]

+ About £40-£50 million ?...it ain't happening Shire.

There’s absolutely no way any club pays 40-50m for tella

[Stonehouse]

anyone that posts Tella is coming should get a one month ban !

When we keep wanting to sign our ex players you can’t image SP necessarily wanting them ,but have we got the same recruiting team as when VK was here?
