Summer transfer window

[Enola Gay]

Nice move for him, he can stay close to his families.

[Cubanforever]

Great signing if it's finalised, regardless of his age and wage for 5 mill in this day and age it's a no brainer. Very happy how we are doing this window

[Cooclaret]

From a footballing point of view signing Walker is probably a good move, but from a financial point of view, not so sure. Surely we can't pay him anywhere near what he was pulling in at Citeh. To pay him the silly money would upset our salary structure, and pi** off the other players. Also, is Parker collecting right backs like Kompany collected wingers? We now have Roberts, the ex Ipswich dude, Sonne and Walker.

Roberts is going

[123EasyasBFC]

Roberts is going

Roberts signed a new deal in Feb wasn’t it, be a big shock for him to be leaving

[AlargeClaret]

I'll let you know after it happens.

[mkmel]

Walker/Roberts
Tuanzebe/Ekdal/Worrell
Estève/Humphreys
Hartman/Pires

Plenty of good competition in our back four.

[ollieclarets8]

I think Tuanzebe has been signed as a central defender although he can play right back.

I agree. And I doubt Sonne will be named in the squad, which leaves a very healthy Roberts/Walker for the right back spot.

Very happy with that.

[Burnleyareback2]

Walker at CH with Steve anyone?

[ollieclarets8]

Walker at CH with Steve anyone?

If we play a back 3.

[Goody1975]

Walker at CH with Steve anyone?

In a back three, possibly. In a back two, no.

[ksrclaret]

Be very interesting to see how it all comes together. We've got a huge squad already and still a few positions we're not yet strong enough in. There will have to be a a lot of outgoings at some point.

Walker is a cracking signing though and the sort I was hopeful we'd make last time.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Prefer Trips to come back but Walker is very experienced. We play a deeper line and he still has enough pace to cover all but the very rapid. The defensive players all offer a level of flexibility. We really need something in CM and a couple up top. We also need to sell quite a few.

lots need to go, some sales and a fair number of loans.
i guess we are still waiting on Brownhill's final choice, plus Trafford and (I still think) Esteve.
Clearly we need to find clubs for several others who don't seem to be what SP wants.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

The walker signing will be great for the young lads as someone to learn from when it comes to professionalism in the game and on the pitch
One of the best right backs in the world for a number of years

[jdrobbo]

Burnley fans all say Clarke Carlisle, but with our Claret specs removed we all know that Kyle Walker was by far and away the best player on the pitch in the 2009 play-off final. What a career he’s had since then!

It's only 5 mill if we stay up, and if we stay up its the cheapest 5 mill ever.

[ollieclarets8]

Nothing to worry about with players who we need to move on.

It's near the end of the window when clubs need to plug gaps with loans so I'm sure many will leave even if it's just for the season.

It’s more of a case of having a over crowded training ground, they go to Portugal for a week in a week or 2s time, you’d imagine Parker will want as many players he doesn’t want out the door by then

[Cajun]

As I sit here mulling this over, I can only see it as a positive move. Some players who are good natural athletes, as Kyle appears to be, can continue easily into late 30s and compensate for a slight loss of pace with their experience, match awareness and anticipation. As mentioned a couple of times earlier, Keith Newton was a master stroke signing at the time, this could be similar. Alexander turned into a great signing, adapting his game to play assorted effective roles. As for his personal life alluded to earlier, I thought he had rebuilt his relationship with wife and kids and things appeared to have stabilized. If the transfer is confirmed he gets my wholehearted support and the club are to be applauded for landing him. UTC

[Mattster]

I didn’t belittle them at all, I said their development would be better playing football week in week out in lower leagues, and not put pressure on them during an intense promotion battle. don’t try and twist it.

"How can you say any other those 4 players are capable of being backup in a championship team chasing promotion, even by your standards it’s a crazy thing to say"

"Yep and I’ve watched them play and went to the games at turf and under no way can you compare performances in the u21s to be capable in the championship.

Jack cork would be a better backup option than those 4 for this season"

Sounds pretty belittling. Nothing about pressure, or loans. Just straight up not up to the standard.
Better off playing a retired player than them. Your words.

So the fact Matt Williams himself said Shelvey was pay as you play

Any evidence of this? What's your source?

And that's before we get to loads of people quote Matt Williams as gospel, I recall people saying Matt Williams had said Egan-Riley had agreed a new deal towards the end of the season, that panned out.

Stop making things up.

Not sure that would be any problem at all. If that's all we have to worry about we're doing alright.

[northeastclaret]

That must be a first ? To sign a player who played in Englands last match ?

[fidelcastro]

But not off the pitch

Didn't he have two women pregnant at the same time at one point?

I know he was also accused of exposing himself in public, and broke lockdown rules several times, which included hiring prostitutes!

It's fair to say we haven't signed him as an example of how to conduct yourself OFF the pitch!

[boatshed bill]

No, I think he'll leave some behind. And I hope our transfer chaps will be looking for suitable clubs for them either on loan or transfers.

[RVclaret]

And that's before we get to loads of people quote Matt Williams as gospel, I recall people saying Matt Williams had said Egan-Riley had agreed a new deal towards the end of the season, that panned out.

Wasn’t it, he said they felt more confident he would sign a new deal, rather than he had done? This was on video that someone posted.

[TheFamilyCat]

Not sure that would be any problem at all. If that's all we have to worry about we're doing alright.

Yeah, but think of the hotel bill.

[ollieclarets8]

Yeah, but think of the hotel bill.

Starting to worry now.

You know full well I mentioned loans, you have spent half an hour dragging one comment up that’s how sad you are.

You still think Hugil is ready to play championship football?

Jack cork would of been better than them and they weren’t and still aren’t ready for the pressure of a championship promotion run. Jack cork was signed as a player coach last season so not retired.

No matt Williams was videoed saying he was more confident this week than he was last week but Egan Riley has chosen champions league football.

You know full well you are clutching comparing Walker to Shelvey

[Stockbrokerbelt]

I’d sign him just for that! Xmas party has just gone up a notch. I went on a similar stag do.

[forzagranata]

Like it or not we’ll probs need at least 2 quality older ( not as old as KW) “ off the peg” prem players who won’t have sell on value to guide us through this season . Brownhill’s replacement perhaps ?

Gundogan?

[fidelcastro]

Yeah, but think of the hotel bill.

The cross country running could end up looking like that cheese rolling contest they have each year!

[TheFamilyCat]

You pivoted to loans later, those two (not one) posts of yours were your initial reaction to the suggestion that they could play a role better than Shelvey. A "crazy" suggestion and saying that a retired* player would be better than them.

Belittling.

Still waiting for some evidence or your source on Williams saying Shelvey was on a pay as you play deal.

*Cork was coach/player for the U21s, he was retired from senior football. Never registered in our first team squad.

[ksrclaret]

Stop squabbling, please.

So your admitted you just found one comment to suit your argument, Williams said it during taking over a nice pint in London after the QPR away game

Can you answer the question that is Hugil still ready to play championship football?

You have brought the youth players up to try and validate you comparing signing Shelvey as us now signing Walker. In no way are they similar

Keep clutching

[warksclaret]

WOW,brings me straight back when Jimmy Adamson signed Keith Newton from Everton,what a fantastic signing that turned out to be UTC!

Was just about to post same, but did not want to show my age. If he produces anything like the form Newton showed for us in his twilight years, it will be a tremendous signing

[GetIntoEm]

People moaning about Kyle walker and pining over Ben Mee in the same breath. Welcome to Burnley

[123EasyasBFC]

Stop squabbling, please.

Sorry I’m better than to argue with stupid, I won’t respond to them again

[Gnulty]

I had two women pregnant at the same time some 30 years ago, no problems whatsoever, so welcome to Burnley Kyle and enjoy the ride:-) UTC!

No need to be jealous of a top shagger, just do better

So your admitted you just found one comment to suit your argument.

Quite clearly said it was two posts of yours, not one.

Williams said it during taking over a nice pint in London after the QPR away game

Convenient, to you and no one else. Never mentioned by anyone else as something he's blabbed in any of his other frequent peeks behind the curtain.

Stop making things up.

Can you answer the question that is Hugil still ready to play championship football?

I'd take him over Shelvey, every day of the week.

You have brought the youth players up to try and validate you comparing signing Shelvey as us now signing Walker. In no way are they similar

Keep clutching

I brought up Shelvey because you said I was only against this because I don't rate Parker. If that was the case I'd have been against Weiss, Hartman, Tuanzebe and Tchaouna. I was simply pointing out the last signing I was against (for similar reasons; legs gone, expensive etc) which just so happened to be one you were massively up on and had a go at me over a bunch of posts for not supporting.

[bobinho]

This thread always ends up being spoiled with tit for tat nothingness and cock waving

It will now if walkers on board…

Chill out lads…

[Stanbill05]

Burnley fans: we need prem experience to have any chance..
Burnley: sign a multi England capped City player who had some spare pace to lose and is proven..
Burnley fans: not sure about this guy.

Lol.
