January Transfer Window Rumours

[TsarBomba]

I love Ashley Barnes. but I don’t quite understand the thought process of bringing him in to let Jay go.

[randomclaret2]

Jay to Wrexham confirmed by club

[Stonehouse]

Just like Jay played his heart out for us last season when we were getting absolutely battered by Arsenal etc. He was the one showing fight.

Luckily we are quite a lot more successful these days so we don't have these mythical Orient type games to save the club

[ISpeds00]

I've heard 2 possibly 3 to be done this weekend

So the Orient game was a myth? That takes the biscuit.

[colne-claret]

I've heard 2 possibly 3 to be done this weekend

In or out?

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Hopefully a replacement is sorted then

[TPClaret]

Good luck Jay. Thanks for everything. He’s not really up to the championship anymore.

[ISpeds00]

In or out?

A quite reliable source i've seen today has said we have a few potentials, with a couple awaiting terms
He's never been wrong with stuff yet - quite in with the club

[Goliath]

So the Orient game was a myth? That takes the biscuit.

No I meant that it has mythological status. Possibly used incorrect terminology there

[randomclaret2]

Wonder if we got a fee for Jay ?

[Stonehouse]

No I meant that it has mythological status. Possibly used incorrect terminology there

Is he going to do a Denis Law and Wrexham come up and we stay down and he gets a pen in the last minute against us? : I still think mythological status suggest it’s not true but no worries,

[123EasyasBFC]

A quite reliable source i've seen today has said we have a few potentials, with a couple awaiting terms

Again potentials incoming or outgoings

[louieollie]

The club?? Nope.
The players?? Nope
The manager? Yes, obviously.

You might want to look back at your extensive snail trail of posts before stating those facts

[Newcastleclaret93]

Louis Richardson signs for York on loan

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hopefully the lad can stay fit and find his feet, Bevan also out to Carlisle looks a good move for him

[randomclaret2]

I love Ashley Barnes. but I don’t quite understand the thought process of bringing him in to let Jay go.

I get the impression Barnes was entirely the Chairman's signing

[Venkys4eva]

Jay is no loss.. he should of gone before the season started

[TPClaret]

Barnes will be probably helping in a coaching role as well.

[NewClaret]

Jay is no loss.. he should of gone before the season started

He’s featured in 21 games. He’s played his part first half a season.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Wages freed up. We will be getting someone in this weekend

[morninbob]

Wonder if we got a fee for Jay ?

Wrexham site says undisclosed fee.

[Firthy]

Wages freed up. We will be getting someone in this weekend

Promise??

[Hedontplayforyou]

Wrexham site says undisclosed fee.

Wether we did actually get a fee or not I don’t know but if we did, for a player of Jays age at this level of football to get a fee is pretty decent.

[randomclaret2]

Wether we did actually get a fee or not I don’t know but if we did, for a player of Jays age at this level of football to get a fee is pretty decent.

Given that he was under contract and that Wrexham arent exactly shy about letting folk know about their financial good fortune, I certainly hope we did.

[Vegas Claret]

Wrexham v Burnley in LA in pre-season

[boatshed bill]

I love Ashley Barnes. but I don’t quite understand the thought process of bringing him in to let Jay go.

I totally agree. Jay is, in my opinion, a far better footballer than Ash.

[Aclaret]

Wrexham v Burnley in LA in pre-season

Practically next door for you Vegas, will you be organising a coach ? Any Witherspoon en route ?

[Hedontplayforyou]

Given that he was under contract and that Wrexham arent exactly shy about letting folk know about their financial good fortune, I certainly hope we did.

It would be a nice bonus for sure

[kentonclaret]

I love Ashley Barnes. but I don’t quite understand the thought process of bringing him in to let Jay go.

Letting Jay go helps to reduce the overall age of the squad so that in post match interviews Scott can still say that he’s working with a very young group of players.

[JarrowClaret]

Might be wrong but think Brownhill can sign a pre contract agreement now

He can sign a pre contract agreement for a
Foreign team and Celtic classes as that so yeh he can for them.

[NewClaret]

I love Ashley Barnes. but I don’t quite understand the thought process of bringing him in to let Jay go.

It actually makes more sense to me now.

Assuming we knew Jay wanted to play more/had offers on the table, we maybe moved ahead of that to bring in an experienced replacement for the bench.

You can only imagine this is supporting Jays wishes given it’s a permanent move.

[Hedontplayforyou]

I imagine we will be hearing quite a few names linked with us over the weekend now after Jays departure, no doubt many plucked from thin air.

[123EasyasBFC]

Even without Jay leaving you’d imagine random names linked to us

[Longsider]

Have you been given names, if you have obviously you can't reveal but are you excited by any of them.

[Clarky]

Jay is no loss.. he should of gone before the season started

And before that.

[claretspice]

I suppose if this allows us to bring in a forward player who can stretch the game and give us a bit more of a 6 yard box threat, then letting Jay go makes cold hard sense, even if it is a shame to let a player go who is so integral to the club and its link to the town. The way Parker appears to want to use Flemming is very similar to the sort of role Jay can play these days, so in a sense we signed his replacement in the summer. We also have Foster who adds some power, and if Barnes has been signed to offer anything, it's a physical target man threat who can fix defenders and win an arm wrestle, and so if we have space for a 4th striker its probably someone more in the Tella type mould than Rodriguez. It will free up some wages too.

But Jay's amongst the greats of the football club. That goal at Old Trafford will live forever. Quite possibly one day, he'll be back at Burnley in some capacity or other.

[Woodleyclaret]

These snotty comments re Jayrod are totally uncalled for

[123EasyasBFC]

Wages freed up. We will be getting someone in this weekend

Your mates haven’t told you it’s tella again have they

[Tricky Trevor]

I don’t get the superb servant ,he left to better himself and came back it’s no big deal ,I’ve nothing against him but if we’re talking about superb servants surely he can’t be compared to the likes of Brian Miller ,John Angus, Leighton James and quite a few more.

He left because we needed the money.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Your mates haven’t told you it’s tella again have they

No I’ve unfriended them now anyway

Absolutely one of the greats. Shame he couldn’t sign off with a promotion but you would suspect it means a younger striker is to sign.

[Ampth7]

A true modern day great of the club in my opinion is our Jay! No doubt he has had a terrific career and if it wasn’t for that horrific knee injury whilst at Saints when he was flying, I suspect he may have had a chance at a bigger club. If memory serves I think he may have missed the England boat that year he got injured….

[123EasyasBFC]

Will lankshear gone to West Brom on loan, so that’s another rumour to bed

[Newcastleclaret93]

[Bow]

A fantastic servant for the club but in retrospect his second spell was poor for the wages and transfer fee spent.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Edwards (Newcastle’s link): at £8m seems really good business depending on attitude, he has had disciplinary issues this season but may be linked with trying to engineer a move. So I can see why we would be all over that.

Jay: whether he is “up to it” now is irrelevant. He is a club legend, you don’t stand in their way needing games at 35yo, we wish him all the best, and I suspect this has been rumbling for weeks and we signed Barmes back to give that motivational edge to the dressing room instead of Jay.

I feel sure some major business will be done by Monday night.

[Joe14]

We still getting the Chinese sensation Fu kin Nowan?

[billyhamilton82]

Someone with better eyes than myself, I'm sure its Benny training with the first team group?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdtRYfQ ... otballClub

Like a new signing if that's the case.

[willsclarets]

I think those "not getting the love in" for JRod are missing something. How many homegrown burnley lads start their career with us, and then go on to have a very good Premier league career - to the point where they get an England call up. But for serious injury that career both domestically and perhaps internationally would've been even better.

We should be very proud of that and him besides the things he achieved in claret and blue.
