Summer transfer window

[Elizabeth]

Could we have an unofficial agreement that the weeping and wailing expires a week today ?

What weeping and wailing?

[boyyanno]

Jesus wept!............the end is nigh. Quick man the dingy's 🫣

What a bizarre post.

[Elizabeth]

Just wait until the news has been confirmed by the club.

[northeastclaret]

What weeping and wailing?

Exactly I am confident Parker can bring in three better players, no need to get upset about that.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Kieth Downie saying we have turned down 27m bid for trafford

[Silkyskills1]

It doesn’t negate from the fact that we have 5 players in that position in the first team squad.

If we are to bring more in then 2-3 off them definitely have to move on.

Barnes being a non-playing player creates a problem. Flemming deserves his chance. The rest can leave for me.

[billyhamilton82]

So his record breaking season is worth just £7m?

They offered £20m last summer...deluded.

Stick to your guns Alan

If they want to keep the price down for PSR then its £30m plus Pope.

The crazy thing is 27m puts Trafford as the 8th most expensive keeper in history.

The next three highest transfers were Courtois for 30m Chelsea to Real Madrid.

Cillessen 30.5m Barca to Valencia

Ederson to Man City for 35m.

We entering the realms of the some of the world most elite keepers in history going for that kind of money.

Be interesting to see what we agree on. I imagine that number starts with a 3 though

[warksclaret]

Said it several times-tell Newcastle the ticket price and tell them they dont come back until you match it. THey are not exactly skint. Only today Brighton refused Newcastle's £50 million plus bid for Pedro, Brentford turned down £62.5m for Mbuemo, Bournemouth wont budge on Semenyo unless they get an offer of £70m. These clubs aren't afraid to stand firm. How many bids did Newcastle make for Guehi last season and not able to tie the deal down

[MrTopTier]

Who do we get in if Trafford goes?

[northeastclaret]

I suppose the fee has been undermined by the so called ‘ gentleman’s agreement’ made last season with Trafford when he wanted to go to Newcastle then but we made him / persuaded him to stay one more season.

[ksrclaret]

Losing all of ER, Brownhill, and Trafford would be so disheartening.

[boatshed bill]

Losing all of ER, Brownhill, and Trafford would be so disheartening.

My original prediction: These 3 plus Esteve to leave. Could still happen, unfortunately.

[warksclaret]

No shortage of good keepers, wanting to be first choice in the PL. Kelleher has just gone to Brentford for £12m-he is exceptional. Whats inmportant is we get top dollar for TRafford, otherwise it may mean us selling someone else in the team. Sam Johnstone of Wolves could be another target. Fabianski who has just left WHU another

Is that a weep or a wail Bill. Would have been a surprise if these moves didn't happen.

While I'm generally content with football moves away from the club I might shed a little tear if Esteve goes. I do not expect that will happen

I will be very upset if Esteve goes, but I'm sure we will get offers.
Football is horrible nowadays, you have to feel for Scott Parker after all the brilliant work he's done to lose his best players.

I don't think Trafford can be compared to these players because he is not an established PL player and goalies don't fetch enough.
I don't see much movement now on what is almost agreed between the clubs. Certainly Pope thinks it's already a done deal

What is it the club have put on him- £40-50 million ? Would love a club to get up to 35 million and the club refuse to sell. Now that would be a very clear message to the fans that they mean business

Those 3 must have been 95% of fans' prediction, with 2 out of contract and Newcastle interested in Trafford last summer.

Absolutely, but it's surprising how many on here didn't think it would happen, even with Brownhill.

Not heard of him but if we do sign and we don’t get a Phil Collins inspired chant out of his name I’ll be disappointed

It’s alright quoted the prices for keepers in the past but with inflation and what he’s worth to Burnley, 30-35m instead all that much in modern day.

You have man united quoting 60m for someone like garnacho, 5 years ago garnacho would be Worth 15m

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

Mr Barnes on the blower to Josh Sargent in the barbers telling him to join / good club etc.

I think he’s be a good signing if it happens and if we go back down has up right up there again.

UTC.

It always has been: Dobson to Everton in 1974; James to Derby in 1975. Plus many others.

Jimmy Mac to Stoke, circa '63

[boatshed bill]

Good examples but very different circumstances. We sold to survive back then. We earn enough money to keep players now, but they force moves so we cash in.

[Silkyskills1]

Don't think Jimmy Mc's transfer had anything to do with balancing the books.

Not sure if you are kidding as I've heard people know of the barber who cuts his hair!

Sorry I seem to be following you around this evening Bill but I've had a tipple in Elsie's kitchen and we've been having a good laugh at Uptheclarets, which we normally do. In fact she's always egging me on to put something on. She's been murder this last week. She once got me banned.

Elsie thinks Burnley will go under before we die . I wish I hadn't told her about the Americans buy to sell policy .I'm more serious than her

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

No not trying to be funny or anything, just feeding in some info.

You're probably right. Now that I think back didn't Jimmy and Bob Lord have a set too? There's was only going to be one winner in that case.

[fatboy47]

It'll start with an "un".

[Newcastleclaret93]

Think someone mentioned Cresswell as a potential CB option for us.

Looks a player for the U21s so far

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

It surely must be a new thing where a promoted side loses its best players and they don’t stick around for a shot at the premier league with us. I genuinely don’t remember this being a thing back in the day.

That said. A big offer for Trafford I’d be happy with. It’s just a shame that CJER was OOC (and brownhill). That’s what’s killed us really.

I still fancy us to get a keeper who’s better suited to the situation we will be in. An experienced keeper and reinvest elsewhere. I’m not worried.

Was me. Signing for Fabregas’ Como for £13m I think.

There’s a few,first time I’ve seen Omari Hutchinson and he’s been impressive all tournament.Elliot Anderson is another.

[yatesybase]

Who do we get in if Trafford goes?

Cooper at Sheffield United for me

[boatshed bill]

Cooper at Sheffield United for me

Cooper is a decent keeper, but I doubt we'd go for him now we have Weiss.

Pope has sent Trafford a message on X/Instagram saying 'see you soon shagger'

Must be close.

How old are you? No offence in asking.
'shag, shagger, shaggy' all common phrases these days between young lads similar to mate and pal

They’ve been about for years just can’t imagine Nick pope posting something like that.Ive no doubt Trafford will end up at Newcastle just don’t believe everything you see on social media shagger.
