Summer transfer window

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Be a bit underwhelming if it’s JBL.

Be a bit underwhelming if it’s JBL.

Agree was okay but with the way parker wants to play we need pace on the break.

[Bowclaret]

My guess is Oderbert on loan.

And also another incoming on top of this

[RVclaret]

Agree was okay but with the way parker wants to play we need pace on the break.

Wouldn’t say JBL has much pace? Not slow but not quick.

[claretonthecoast1882]

With Brentford selling anyone and everything surprised Collins hasn't been suggested

[Goliath]

JBL was a goalscorer. Intelligent enough to make the right put to in runs to get himself in goalscoring positions regularly. It'd be between him and Anthony on that side

It doesn't bode well for Koleosho

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Wouldn’t say JBL has much pace? Not slow but not quick.

Agree didn’t look to be particularly pacy.

[Hedontplayforyou]

JBL would bring experience and a bit of quality to the squad . He’s not blisteringly quick but he does have quality. A decent dead ball too.

[claretcarrot93]

Wouldn’t say JBL has much pace? Not slow but not quick.

Yeah, thats my point think we need quicker with our style. Good player like

[123EasyasBFC]

If it is JBL I think he would be better through the middle than out wide

[Goliath]

Another thing about JBL is he was one of the few brought in that season that looked like someone who was good in the dressing room. He seemed to get on with the old Dyche guard from the clips I saw. I think Parker values that kind of thing quite highly.

[gandhisflipflop]

JBL would improve the overall squad

[jedi_master]

I'd prefer JBL to Odobert - he'd be our player for a start assuming it's a permanent this time. He was our top scorer in that awful season and was effective, even if he also had some anonymous games. Odobert has the world at his feet for sure but JBL can offer us some end product at this level, he's proven that much.

[Darnhill Claret]

Claret Tony, did not say a former player.

[Darnhill Claret]

Collins won't be going to any club that isn't in Europe this coming season.

[123EasyasBFC]

Claret Tony, did not say a former player.

No but when suggested former player he replied with ‘interesting thought’

[123EasyasBFC]

Regardless of who it is, another winger, you’d imagine benson is definitely leaving and then one of either Tresor koleosho and Amdouni

Will always love Benny for 22/23 but it's time for him to leave, for his own career as much as anything else.

[Wile E Coyote]

my money is on the return of Jelly Vossen

[JarrowClaret]

Cullen and Laurent. In the Premier League? You wouldn't be concerned???!! Wow.

If Cullen and Laurent was our only options then I would be concerned, but they aren’t Hannibal and Cullen would be my preference to start from our current squad.

Laurent is interesting to me clearly from a technical standpoint he probably isn’t at the right level for the prem but his physical attributes could be hugely beneficial I suspect he will be a bit of a surprise package for some.

Also I will point out I said we probably need another signing alongside Cullen and it wouldn’t concern me if we INITIALLY went with what we have. If by the end of the window we haven’t signed someone for that position it would be a concern yes.

[Claretfanatic1982]

Can see Brewster going to Boro. Their new manager Rob Edwards likes playing with a big No 9, and might get the best out of him

He is 5ft 10.

Is that classed as a big No 9 ?

[JarrowClaret]

Regardless of who it is, another winger, you’d imagine benson is definitely leaving and then one of either Tresor koleosho and Amdouni

We have quite a few few to shift

Benson
Churlinov
Massengo (in talks)
Sonne
Sambo
Delcrois
Ekdal (I would keep personally)
1 of green or hladky must be on the move as well

Just a few names off the top of my head but there are a number of youngsters in the squad that either need to play or move on loan or permanent somewhere else.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Options out wide without putting too much pressure on any of them.

Tchaouna
Edwards
Anthony
Koleosho


And potentially
Tresor
JBL

Of which these latter two can both play in the 10 more so Tresor. We need options and we need to be adaptable.

Benson to go for me

[CoolClaret]

Wouldn’t say JBL has much pace? Not slow but not quick.

Think he was deceptively quicker than he looked, had a nice running stride.

I'd be over the moon if he came back, I thought he was an exceptional footballer.

[Vegas Claret]

Claret Tony, did not say a former player.

you mean Kevin De Bruyne has decided not to move away from the area and has pulled the deal to Napoli and is coming to us instead ?

[Terrier]

No doubt been mentioned but Henderson is going to brentford.
Sunderland fans will be upset

[RVclaret]

Not sure on exceptional. It’s weird that he’s only really done anything with us in his career. You’d have thought he would have gone back to Germany and kicked on?

[NL Claret]

JBL only played 15 games since leaving.

Berge, wouldn’t have him back as he couldn’t get out of the club quick enough last summer.

Sorry mate I was just talking about wide players and attackers if we are singing another winger

lol. Berge was probably the only player with any credit in our last prem season. Great player

[jedi_master]

Played 27 games in the Bundesliga alone last year (35 total inc Europa League and German Cup).

[gandhisflipflop]

JBL did well in a poor side.

[burnley007]

Him and JBL for me.

[CoolClaret]

Not sure on exceptional. It’s weird that he’s only really done anything with us in his career. You’d have thought he would have gone back to Germany and kicked on?

Purely based on his output for us and watching him play for us. Great touch, could use both feet, top movement.

On the pace aspect - recall the goal he scored from a long ball by Dara O'Shea as an example.

Though as you say, it is a little strange he hasn't done much in Germany.

[Exeterclaret]

JBL only played 15 games since leaving.

Berge, wouldn’t have him back as he couldn’t get out of the club quick enough last summer.

It's 15 games since joing Stuttgart in Jan. He played 12 times for Hoffenheim also last season. 27 games in a BL season is the vast majority of games.

According to the link below, his recent injury record has been ok

[Hedontplayforyou]

Is it actually him signing?

[jedi_master]

Is it actually him signing?

Funny if it's not after two pages of discussing him

I am invested now, if it's not him, sign him anyway.

[boyyanno]

I actually thought JBL was a good player he looked PL quality to me.

The only concern is we are piling up good options out wide again, we need to spread some quality around. I wonder if Edwards could play in the 10?

[gandhisflipflop]

I reckon this is a decoy and CT has used his comments to throw us off track so he still has his exclusive.

[Exeterclaret]

Turfcast by way of a Mick McCarthy meme saying it's him

Said it several times but ‘the 10’ could easily be two 10s in a 3-4-2-1 type shape that Parker used in his previous PL stints and at times last season. Edwards played as an inside 10 for Amorim at Sporting.

I reckon this is a decoy and CT has used his comments to throw us off track so he still has his exclusive.

It’s JBL.

[JarrowClaret]

Sorry mate I was just talking about wide players and attackers if we are singing another winger

Top 2 are wingers I got what you meant I just added some more names as we need a bit of clear out of the chaff.

[jedi_master]

I just hope it's permanent this time. I don't want to sound defeatist but IF we were to go down, he would be absolutely class and probably stick about. I was disappointed we didn't grab him last summer but that was probably difficult after Kompany left.

[ollieclarets8]

Turfcast by way of a Mick McCarthy meme saying it's him

I see the Twitter crowd (who have an IQ well below average) are already saying how disappointed they are.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Wouldn’t say disappointing just a strange one.

Does he get in front of the other players we have? Really not sure

[CatonClaret]

If it is JBL I don’t see anything wrong with the move at the right price. Can play anywhere in a front 3/4, wasn’t slow and proved he could do it in the PL in a poor Burnley team. It’s not the ST we’re crying out for but as another option I’d be really happy with the move.

[Tricky Trevor]

Berge, wouldn’t have him back as he couldn’t get out of the club quick enough last summer.

Why does this hurt so many on here? He’s a quality PL and international footballer clearly too good for the Championship and he’s done his time there with Blades.

[Jakubs Tash]

If it is JBL I think he would be better through the middle than out wide

Completely disagree. In the games he played centrally for us two years ago it was like playing with 10 men. Completely ineffective.

If it’s JBL then I’m really quite underwhelmed by that.

[123EasyasBFC]

I just don’t understand signing another winger from a squad size purpose.

Koleosho being u21 means he doesn’t take up space anyway
