Summer transfer window

[Conroy92]

That’s the exact type of profile that could see us pick up a class act at a bargain. If he’d developed as he was expected to he’d had already been out of our reach.

Exactly that. Same goes for Silva.

[ClaretFelix]

Anybody think Kyogo Furuhashi would be a decent shout?
Plenty of pace and the type of fox in the box we've lacked for some time.
Out of favour at Rennes with no goals and likely affordable but has shown previously he knows where the goal is.

Probably falls in the bracket that if we go down he would still be an asset in the Championship

[Ampth7]

DCL

Could increase sales of ‘leather skirts’ at club shop?

Hmm yes, I hadn’t thought of that……. sign him up!

Honestly not a bad shout.

30 years old but a 3 year deal probably works for everyone.

In what respect

[EMANTO2]

would love to see us look at Ermedin Demirović who's been struggling to get right amount of game time. 15 goals in the Bundesliga this season.

[warksclaret]

In what respect

Young, quick, playing off the shoulder of the defender and with a good goal history prior to joining (he was formidable for Derby & Watford prior to joining us)

Glad my campaign for a Japanese signing is beginning to build momentum. Good shout Felix

[KRBFC]

DCL needs to prove his fitness then he’d walk into a United (Newcastle to Manchester). He’s brilliant.

Sadly, that’s the problem.

He’d walk into Newcastle over Isak? well that’s an insane shout I must say. I think Calvert Lewin is one of the most overrated players I have ever seen, in 9 PL seasons he’s scored double figures twice.

[KRBFC]

Reports today are that Liam Delap wants to go to Chelsea joining his old City youth buddy Palmer. Considering that Traff and CJ are part of that same close knit group of pals it is easy to imagine them being attracted to a move (to Strasbourg in CJ’s case). I recall seeing at the weekend that JT is on Chelsea’s shortlist for a new keeper if they move Sanchez on.

Delap and Palmer will play for Chelsea not Strasbourg. I don’t see why that would attract CJ to Strasbourg. How many Strasbourg players have actually played for Chelsea?

[Cooclaret]

Did I say that? Do clubs have one striking option? He’d walk into those clubs fully fit.

[summitclaret]

By walk into, don't you mean limp into? Not for us.

[Burnley Ace]

Get Hoijlund on loan from Utd, get him playing regularly in a less hostile environment, build up his confidence and he will start scoring goals!!

[summitclaret]

He needs to stay where he is because Manure are one of a few teams I think we can finish above.

[BradTee93]

Get Hoijlund on loan from Utd, get him playing regularly in a less hostile environment, build up his confidence and he will start scoring goals!!

Absolutely not, shocking player

[Cooclaret]

Absolutely not, shocking player

He’s not shocking. He’s been shocking, in an awful team that don’t player to his strengths ala Lukaku!

Hes a very good player that can’t play with his back to goal. He needs service, and that’s something he doesn’t get.

[Pickles]

Get Hoijlund on loan from Utd, get him playing regularly in a less hostile environment, build up his confidence and he will start scoring goals!!

Yet another unrealistic suggestion. If Hojlund was going to leave Manchester United it wouldn't be for a team who're probably going to be in a relegation battle. Not that we could afford him anyway.

Yes he's had a poor season but a year or so ago he was a hot prospect, probably still is. So signing for us would be a statement that he's not good enough for a team the stature of United and his representatives are going to avoid that at every opportunity. He'd get a move to a team playing in Europe.

[fidelcastro]

So, that's Vardy, Calvert-Lewin, and now Hoijlund who apparently aren't good enough for us!

Some folk on here really are in for a shock come the new season.

[randomclaret2]

We have one or two attacking players of our own who would benefit from building up their confidence

[ecc]

Who knows? He's technically excellent. But it was either a major injury and/or attitude that stopped him from becoming a top player. You are, of course, absolutely right when saying had he fulfilled his potential he'd be at a top European club.

They haven't exactly been prolific for their clubs this season, all have their reasons, in vardys case he has arguably played in a poor Leicester side and age has caught up with him, however I do believe we could get one decent season out of him, new environment, different group, last hurrah kind of thing, but I'd take him with a view to keeping us up. As for the other 2 CL far too injury prone, too much of a risk imo, no better than 1 or 2 we have in the camp already, and Hoijland, has he really got what it takes in the prem, nothing in he's body language or stats that I see tbh to suggest he has imo, I reckon there's better out there.

Just ask yourself this... Do you think we would stand a better chance of staying up if we went into a PL season with Hoijlund, Vardy and Calvert-Lewin as our three squad strikers or Barnes, Foster and Flemming?

[jlup1980]

Performance in those senior appearances maybe .

Not doubting he's done well, but he's not had a proper run of games, and has never played for a team that gets put under pressure. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on playing week-in, week-out for a mid-table club.

[alwaysaclaret]

Deffo, absolutely agree when put into that context, but all 3 at Burnley is never going to happen, when each one is weighed up as a single commodity it looks totally different, and that's all we could hope for, to sign one of them. Also I can't imagine we'd be starting the season with Barnes, Foster and Flemming as the 3 strikers in the squad, and I did say of the 3 mentioned, there's better out there imo, and of those 3 Hoijland is the one that would be most likely to play the most games, CL would present the biggest risk imo, just can't stay fit, undoubtedly 100% fit has the talent, but the problem is getting him there and keeping him there.

With all due respect to Barnes had he not played for us in the Prem I doubt he would ever have played for another club in the PL.

Oh yes, it was a hypothetical scenario, but I'm just rather aghast at people dismissing any sort of link with all these players with Premier League experience.

It makes me wonder who on earth they think we'll end up signing!

When weighed up as a single commodity it's totally different- Are you serious? Man for man I would take Hoijland over either Foster or Barnes. Weighed up as a single commodity, Hoijland is a player who is completely out of our league.

[KRBFC]

What is that based on though? certainly not his goalscoring record.

If he was so good, why are Everton happy to see the back of him?

[Wile E Coyote]

any news on Lansbury ?

just seen that he has moved into the organic fertilizer business and is doing quite well !
More or less rules him out unless we can tempt him with a lucrative offer.

[Stan Tastic]

Rasmus Hojlund Premier League 2024/25 - 32 matches 4 goals 0 assists.

Lyle Foster Premier League 2023/24 - 24 matches 5 goals 3 assists

[Longsidejono]

The way we have done business especially last season in the prem is if you sign and we go down you can go or get loaned out and if we can get a transfer fee then happy days so let’s go for it again!

Bellamy touched on recent interview saying basically couldn’t afford established experienced players so went young didn’t pay off with staying up but did with return on investment

Parker will have his list but hopefully we aim high and with potential to grow if we stay up

[Jakubclaret]

Our recruitment in terms of getting to the promised land is fine but fall short in signing players to sustain that. We don't research & recruit the right sort of people. Whoever is in charge of recruitment could do with taking a look on here because some suggestions aren't bad & are well achievable but sadly that doesn't seem to happen.

It’s based that a lot of clubs wanted him touting 50million.

But, he can’t stay fit and with that came off field problems.

He also has bobbins dress sense.

Get him fit, he is a brilliant power forward.

[Jakubclaret]

I can remember our previous exchanges very well regarding eze & olise & the opportunity to explore avenues like that. If you spot the talent early enough it's not competitive. It's not us Vs any other team the ink is well & truly dried on the QPR & reading paperwork elsewhere MT & WW seemed to be the order of the day. If you think that strategy is right we disagree

That's possibly true. I'm positive Burnley's recruitment team will have pen/paper in hand jotting down players suggested in this thread. Phone calls to their respective agents are imminent.

It's not an herculean task to sort the wheat from the chaff & shortlist a few players. It'd probably take 30 mins to get a few names together.
