Summer transfer window

[CrosspoolClarets]

A team at the bottom can more afford a sick note player than a team at the top.

e.g. if Wilson was fit for 15 games for us he could help us get 5 wins, and those 5 wins could be the difference. We need difference makers.

[blatherwickstattoos]

It’s not your usual source is it mate? Hahaha I know you’ve been stung a few times

No I’m giving up on my sources now. The tella one he was adamant too. I’m done with it all hahaha.

Think this one is just as misinformed too

[aggi]

Any club signing Wilson would be crazy if they didn’t heavily incentivise his ability to stay fit in the contract. He’s 33 now and he’s missed over 100 games in the last 5 seasons with an assortment of injuries…

He can keep Tuanzebe company at least

[agreenwood]

He can keep Tuanzebe company at least

Yep - assume that’s why Tuanzebe was only offered a 1 year deal.

[fatboy47]

Wilson having a medical….so I’ve heard in a WhatsApp group. Could be BS

A WhatsApp group?. Must be kosher then.

[jedi_master]

Wilson on a one year deal is a no brainer, in my opinion. We would need another striker we can rely on to be available more, for sure, but if you can get 20 games out of Wilson then he might be the guy who wins us 5 or 6 wins on his own with a winning goal or equaliser etc. I think that is worth a one year risk, maybe with another year in our favour/some security for Wilson (i.e, if we stay up and he plays in a percentage of games it activates etc).

He is as proven at this level as a club like us could ever hope to sign (aside from Walker!) - 239 games at this level, 88 goals. I won't judge him on last seasons output as he only started two games in the league due to Isak.

[Steddyman]

Given the injury record, I think I'd prefer Vardy if we were going to make this sort of signing. And I don't like Vardy.

[mkmel]

I read somewhere that Newcastle offered Calum Wilson a new contract and he turned it down.

[Commy]

He might be looking to be a starter and he has been used as a sub at Newcastle.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Muric has changed his photo on socials to him in a Burnley kit.

Please no haha

[morninbob]

Pay as you play deal.

[Tricky Trevor]

I have always liked Wilson. It's his injuries that have been the problem over the years. We need someone who we know can score goals in the Premier and he is definately one who can if he can stay injury free.

Les Ferdinand, whilst at Newcastle, had hamstring problems. They solved it by ordering him never to go outside the width of the penalty area. It cut down on his excess running and worked.
Possibly Wilson needs something similar. I’d love to sign him if only to stop him scoring against us but as he’s turned down a new deal at Newcastle I doubt we can afford him.

[Vegas Claret]

Given the injury record, I think I'd prefer Vardy if we were going to make this sort of signing. And I don't like Vardy.

given we will likely have to play on the counter that's a much better suggestion imho. Wilson is good at holding the ball up but from memory has lost most of his pace.

Imagine having Roberts, Barnes, Hannibal and Vardy We would be FC Shithouse of Burnley

[ollieclarets8]

Nothing much on Twitter about Wilson, only the usual Burnley (and Leeds) should sign him etc.

[Targetman]

It always baffles me when people post things on here even though they know its more than likely untrue.

"In the know" is a well used phrase on here but some posters like other people to think that they are members of that club.

[123EasyasBFC]

Think someone made a point, he was in New York Saturday night on pundit duty

[burnley007]

Add to that. Last season.

18 appearences. 0 goals.

I would prefer him over Barnes for example. But I would hope that we go for someone else.

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

Muric has changed his photo on socials to him in a Burnley kit.

Please no haha

I am in a minority but would have him back myself.

Lot of 'ifs' and 'coulds'. Personally I'd stear clear of the likes of Wilson but of course my opinion means nothing.
On the Oxlade- Chamberlain news more than a shake of the head needed when I read he's currently being treated in this country for an injury but would be willing to discuss future employment away from the club he is currently at.

Alex OC, has Nathan Redmond all over it for me. An experienced, talented player but one who is unlikely to feature much and give value for money.

Hard to believe he is 31. But he has rarely featured consistently (granted he has been at much bigger clubs than us in Arsenal and Liverpool).

[Steddyman]

You would not be alone, I would have him back too. These are Ipswich stats with and without Muric, despite how much the fans attack him:

* With Muric - 18 appearances
* 12 points
* 6 draws
* 33 conceeded
* 3 wins
* Without Muric 20 games
* 10 points
* 4 draws
* 49 conceeded
* 2 wins

So they were far worse without than with. Also they faced a lot of big names and got draws from them during his time.

[Tricky Trevor]

I wouldn’t have Muric back but there is no doubt he makes world class saves but can then throw one in his own net. His comical moments for us were never as bad as some he had at Ipswich.
Unless Weiss is the chosen successor I would hope we are looking for better.
First choice obvs being Trafford stays and shows last season's form.

[ollieclarets8]

I'd have been ok with Muric had we not been promoted. But not for the Premier League.

[Hedontplayforyou]

I feel like we might break our transfer record again this summer, possibly more than once.

[Row x]

My season ticket would be sent back if we signed Muric

[randomclaret2]

Of all the keepers available to us, why on earth would we want to sign Muric ?

[123EasyasBFC]

I feel like we might break our transfer record again this summer, possibly more than once.

Is our record still Chris Wood?

[BigGaz]

I've heard rumblings of a season long loan with no option for a young Manchester based forward. In and around the first team, not a regular starter.

[claretonthecoast1882]

You would have thought United would have included an option with Rashford

[123EasyasBFC]

That chido obi at United? That would be a big risk, he’s only 16 or 17

[Andym26]

Zirkzee not a regular starter and 24 is young - doubt he will be wanted at Utd next season. 17 year old more probable!

[Goobs]

McAtee?

[123EasyasBFC]

Oscar bobb maybe??

[Andingle]

That chido obi at United? That would be a big risk, he’s only 16 or 17

It would be him (18 in Nov) or Ethan Wheatley who is 19 and Stockport lad

Interesting . Being devilish with this or just a friendly citizen?

[randomclaret2]

Does ' Manchester based ' definitely imply a City or United player ?

[Andingle]

Looks happy enough to be back training.

Probably Greenwood so he can have a few nights out with Walker

[Hedontplayforyou]

Garnacho wants to leave United

[warksclaret]

McAtee?

Would be awesome. I have heard City prepared to let him go so he can get game time. He will of course know Trafford and Walker, Saw him this season at Leicester-only 35 minutes but he looked class. Be a brilliant replacement for Brownhill

[warksclaret]

Hearing Wilson for WHU. I can appreciate the concern about his injury record, in particular hamstring, however when Wellbeck was at Arsenal no one would have touched him for the same reason, however in 5 seasons at Brighton 161 appearances and 37 goals. Because of his play I believe their captain at times

[123EasyasBFC]

Very strange comment to make

[Conroy92]

I've heard rumblings of a season long loan with no option for a young Manchester based forward. In and around the first team, not a regular starter.

I mean, you'd also heard that Egan Riley was re-signing not long ago and prior to that, in January, we were signing Sessegnon and Manning.

Excuse me if I don't believe what you've heard.

[Tricky Trevor]

McAtee has been heavily linked with a few Bundesliga clubs.
He didn’t impress me at the recent U21s Euros and he was captain. Anderson and Scott were the standout midfielders.

[123EasyasBFC]

Personally wouldn’t want either of them, certainly wouldn’t be using 1 of 2 prem loans on them

That’s not how I saw it during the u21 euros. Completely different players with completely different roles and skill sets.

Scott was just playing the water carrier role and I actually found Anderson quite frustrating at times - decent player but more in there for his physical attributes. McAtee was excellent at moving with the ball, taking the ball in tight spaces and creating openings.

McAtee much the better footballer in my opinion. But like I say, different players with different roles.

[boatshed bill]

"Manchester based".
We've had bids turned down by Salford for a young player who is highly rated. Would this be the player in question?

[Nonayforever]

Could I have it ? I love Muric.

Fair enough. I have seen him have good games for City but surrounded by that talent doesn’t give a true picture. From the Euros I just remembering going to pieces in the box, poor final passes or bad misses. All opinions are fine.
