Summer transfer window

[Tricky Trevor]

That video looked like Edwards cutting in from the right and scoring to me

Keeper looked dodgy!

[ksrclaret]

Just catching up on this thread. Hard to work out what's going on with all the cloak and dagger innuendo stuff.

If it is Bruun Larsen as everyone seems to be thinking, I'm not sure. He's a good player and he came out of the 23/24 season with credit once he was match fit, but I'm just not sure there is a need for him in the squad.

We need goals and players who can come on the pitch as a sub and score goals.

As it stands, we've lost our leading goalscorer in Brownhill.

Adding a player who scored 6 goals from the wing the last time out in the Prem is a bit of a no-brainer for me.

[Bow]

I honestly thought JBL was still at the club, injured or something.

[randomclaret2]

I'd be interested to know what Scott Parker's views on JBL are. Presumably other members of the ' Transfer Commitee " are pushing the deal ?

[Lakeland Claret]

Surely cant be JBL he signed for Al dhafra last week

That would be JBG . Johan the iceman not Jacob the Dane ..

[Big Vinny K]

That video looked like Edwards cutting in from the right and scoring to me

He was about a yard right of the centre circle when he set off so yes guess he was more right than left !

[Vegas Claret]

Some posters on here are behaving like kids on Christmas Eve. Why?

Just wait and see. It's not difficult.

[DCWat]

JBL would be a decent addition. I don’t disagree that it’s not necessarily a priority area, but that’s to be judged once we’ve completed the rest of our business.

Assuming it’s a permanent deal and he’d be happy to stay if the worst came to the worst, he’d likely tear the Championship up.

Hopefully he’s wanting to settle somewhere after a series of short stays. We have to have both retaining our Premier League status and being relegated in mind.

I know. Best laugh in a long time. Still trying to work out where the obsession with ex players has come from.

[GetIntoEm]

I think JBL is the most decent shout for an ex claret to return. Out of the active footballers playing at a decent level there's only really him, odobert and wood that I'd take back, and 2 of those there's no chance

[Taffy on the wing]

Seriously..... who said it was a former player? Why do people suppose it's JBL?

[Conroy92]

Tony didn't deny it was a former player, not did he confirm it. He said it was an interesting shout. Suggested an article was written. And gave the information about him being an international for a European country. He also confirmed it wasn't Sargent. Later poster suggested it could be a winger. Tony also suggested the player hadn't been mentioned from what he had seen.

So there's a few reasons.

[JR1882]

Is Mike Garlic negotiating transfers for Newcastle now? Surely it’s as simple as we name our price and they take it or leave it? They have 55m to spend on Elanga no problems yet continue to try and have our pants down for Traff. I hope we aren’t entertaining them.

Worry is we end up losing him on the cheap (subjective) because James has agreed the move in principle and wants to go.

Pickford fee is the absolute baseline yes, I’d say the English tax is also worth 5-10m given the requirements for homegrown players now in European squads. Having a first team quality English player is a premium and should be paid for as such.

[warksclaret]

The huge series of bidding and rejection of the offers by us from Newcastle , reminds me of when we were interested in Dawson about 8 years ago

[123EasyasBFC]

My eyes aren’t what they used to be but from the recent training photos and clips this week, I can’t spot obafemi, Benson or Churlinov in any of them. Massengo to but we know he’s linked to Germany.

Maybe obafemi, benson and churlinov already have moves lined up

[claretburns]

Burnley agree deal to sign Larsen
Latest from Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth:

Burnley have agreed a deal to sign forward Jacob Bruun Larsen from Stuttgart for an undisclosed fee.

Larsen has agreed a four-year deal with Burnley.

The Denmark international spent a season on loan at Burnley in 2023/24 when they were last in the Premier League.

He scored six League goals in 16 starts.

Benson was certainly around last week, though no sign of the others you mention. I havent noticed Dodgson either

Noticed benson on the initial players returning for pre season but nothing since, unless he has another knock

Sky have been reading this forum

[ollieclarets8]

I can see Larsen being a solid transfer but more an impact player. So a very solid bench option.

[warksclaret]

If it is Larsen I am happy to welcome him-he is quite versatile across the front line. What I like best about his was his intelligent running into threatening positions when he last played for us. However I suspect he will be used wide and boy have we now got some players in that role-Edwards, Anthony, Koleosho, Tchaouma, Benson, Tresor, Agyei and now Larsen. I think Matt Williams will need to get that clap flap opening both ways very soon

[Commy]

This is who we need.

He does spend a long time injured

[123EasyasBFC]

He does spend a long time injured

Unfortunately yes he does, needs a move to just give himself a fresh feel

[JLR81]

great news, quality player JBL

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

Spurs are spending some brass, 60m on Gibbs-White and 55m om Kudus from West Ham and they are looking to sign Wissa from Brentford...these numbers are getting more outrageous each passing season.

Decent players. But a lot of dough for not very top players. It’s mental.

[morninbob]

8m is a steel.

That’s my exclusive gone then although the detective work on here sort of worked it out after I liked a post suggesting it was a returning player.

[wilks_bfc]

If the reveal video for JBL isn’t 90s WWE inspired I’ll be very disappointed

[louieollie]

So there's a few reasons.

But i think the biggest reason is that they are incredibly needy and feck all else to do! ................at this rate Tony is going to stay silent if this is how chinese whispers escalate ffs!

[bumba]

I really wanted to sign him when we got relegated but with the players we have now I'm not sure where he fits in or where it leaves other players.

Benson and churlinov obviously have to go.
Tresor and Amdouni can both play in a 10 so 1 or both will have to go.
Koleosho is the strange one I thought he suited the premier league more and he's just had a good tournament so expected him to be used more this season but maybe we will be cashing in or loaning him out.

[Pearcey]

Happy with that!

[bumba]

That’s my exclusive gone then although the detective work on here sort of worked it out after I liked a post suggesting it was a returning player.

Anymore articles being researched for that maybe in the pipeline?

[123EasyasBFC]

8m is a steel.

Can’t imagine it’s 8m for someone who signed for 1.5m in jan

[fidelcastro]

A lot of people ITK on here about transfer fees.

Amazing.

[blatherwickstattoos]

I can’t be the only one gutted that benson just can’t keep fit. He was by far my favourite player the promotion season under vk. He’s got a real talent that is barely seen these days.

The wingers we have now are surely enough. Plus the lad from lazio. I just can’t see JBL starting over Edwards or Anthony atm. It’s a weird one

[Dark Cloud]

I agree with others that JBL was one of the few who looked like he could hack it at PL level and I was disappointed he ended up leaving, so I've no problem with him returning. However I hope we're not going scatter gun here and signing good players because they're available and not thinking about game time and where they'll fit, bearing in mind we can only play 11 at one time!
I know there's still plenty of time, but we need to see more outgoings (loans is fine) shortly so we can then see what a match day squad might actually look like.

[Quicknick]

If JBL has signed, I'm pleased.

[ClaretTony]

Anymore articles being researched for that maybe in the pipeline?

Absolutely nothing at the moment but it was Tuanzebe & Walker that gave me little time.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Tella ???? Good old Callum Campbell lol

Agreed. He just hasn’t been able to kick on, but I think it goes under the radar that he was far from a regular in the 22/23 season.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Speaking to my Norwich mate about sergant and a player plus money deal. He’d absolutely love benson to go there.

The way he got us over the line that season with his world class goals will stick in the memory for a long time. He was insane. Never known me want a Burnley player to do so well and kick on more than this lad.

He’s still technically the best left foot I’ve ever seen play for us.

[123EasyasBFC]

Tella ???? Good old Callum Campbell lol

Has they resurfaced again?

[Walton]

8m is a steel.

Says 14m on there

[claretburns]

He’s still technically the best left foot I’ve ever seen play for us.

Brian Easton is now crying.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Agreed. He just hasn’t been able to kick on, but I think it goes under the radar that he was far from a regular in the 22/23 season.

Agree too mate. He started about half the games so signs were already there. Such a shame cos he’s so talented but maybe doesn’t have the strength or defensive side to his game that is required these days at the top level

I think everyone would love for benson to suddenly magic the strength to be a prem player

Hahahaha

He’s ignoring my txts hahahaha
