Re: Summer transfer window
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

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

In what respect
Re: Summer transfer window
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.

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)

Re: Summer transfer window
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.
Re: Summer transfer window
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?CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 2:06 pmReports 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.
Re: Summer transfer window
Did I say that? Do clubs have one striking option? He’d walk into those clubs fully fit.

Re: Summer transfer window
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.Burnley Ace wrote: ↑Fri May 30, 2025 11:41 amGet Hoijlund on loan from Utd, get him playing regularly in a less hostile environment, build up his confidence and he will start scoring goals!!
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.

Re: Summer transfer window
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.gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 4:11 pmThat’s the exact type of profile that could see us pick up a class act at a bargain.

Re: Summer transfer window
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.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Fri May 30, 2025 12:36 pmSo, that's Vardy, Calvert-Lewin, and now Hoijlund who apparently aren't good enough for us!![]()

Re: Summer transfer window
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.

Re: Summer transfer window
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.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Fri May 30, 2025 1:20 pmJust ask yourself this...

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.

Re: Summer transfer window
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

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.

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.
