Summer transfer window

[Ampth7]

Trouble is our owner is too busy making new friends in Spain!
Re. Brownhill - he’s long gone and only a matter of time before he confirms having signed for a West Ham or Brentford…..

We are clearly desperately short of premier league quality as things stand and this next week or two will be vital if we are to survive. No hiding from the fact we are in need of a goal scorer, a centre mid or two, and a new keeper as a bare minimum!!

[Longsidejono]

Id be happy with that time if you swapped Hartman in for Pires

Fair shout him and brunn Larson definitely in with a shout

That would be 26 man squad, one of the over 21 year olds would need to leave or not be registered. Beyer missing from that to

[billyhamilton82]

Beyer isn't ready for the start of the season IMO

Weiss is under 21 so assumed we could have a 26 man squad?

[Claretkid78]

In a battle with Man Utd, Brentford and Dortmund for Metz striker Idrissa Gueye for around 20 million.

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Pretty sure we ain’t gonna win that battle

I didn’t couldn’t Weiss, it’s 26 without him. For what it’s worth I don’t think there’s winning to the Diego Carlos links so that puts us at 25. That’s if sambo, Sonne and Delcroix who all featured today are to leave

Ornstein also reported that the total package is ‘understood to be worth what would represent a record fee for a British goalkeeper.’

The package City have put together is believed to surpass the £30million that Everton paid Sunderland to sign Jordan Pickford in 2017.

Well done BFC

[spamalittle]

I thought Ekdal looked really good today. Am I the only one, I'm not sure Diego Carlos is what we need at all.

Ahhh yes, good spot, I miscounted.

I thought Ekdal was very classy today. Some lovely passes.

[ayrshireclaret83]

Is there any concrete links on Livaković?

Everton paid 25m for Pickford. The 30m was never realised.

That was a direct quote from The Athletic so you must be better informed?

[CrosspoolClarets]

L’Equipe reporting Man City and Man Utd still in the race to sign Donnarumma.

Got the funny feeling James may not play much for a year or two, whether it is Ederson or an elite replacement ahead of him.

Agreed. I think Ekdal still has a future at BFC. He made some lovely interceptions - yes, it was only Huddersfield, but we need a centre-back (alongside Kyle Walker) who can distribute the ball out wide. We sadly lost that skillset with CJ leaving.

Ekdal played shorter balls into midfield, which were successful. Walker spread it wide with success and Esteve tried to to spread it wide but over hit it at times, this is not a criticism it is not currently a great strength of his. All three are classy players, but we need a classy midfielder to knit it together, perhaps the Cajuste fella can.

He did aye, but released Hartman a couple of times and threaded a clever pass into Foster & JBL one or two times. Let's hope so!

[dcunningham27]

Don’t pay for his page but Nixon reporting that were close on Johnstone

[123EasyasBFC]

Johnstone would be excellent replacement for Trafford that would allow Weiss to progress in the background

[dcunningham27]

Sure he’s from local too sure he’s from Preston so might help with us getting him

[Murger]

Johnstone would be an excellent replacement. An England international and an experienced prem player who won’t break the bank.

[wilks_bfc]

From Preston

Started out with Euxton Villa

[bumba]

Would be delighted with Johnstone to replace Trafford

[Walton]

A good, solid keeper who helps out with the English quotient when we get in the Champions League

[dcunningham27]

8 million apparently

[gandhisflipflop]

8 million apparently

For who?

[dcunningham27]

For who?

Johnstone

[gandhisflipflop]

It’s probably just me but I cringe when I see journos use the term ‘package’ to describe transfers.

[NewClaret]

For who?

Johnstone.

Very sensible business if true.

[gandhisflipflop]

Johnstone

Haven’t seen him play much so just going off the opinions on here. Seems like he’s well thought of so could be money well spent.

[BigGaz]

I've been told that Cajuste is far more advanced than what is currently being reported, IE practically done.

Hope that’s right. Gone a bit quiet since taking the flight.

Feel this would be a big signing.

[Darnhill Claret]

If we can get Cajuste and Johnstone tied up it leaves us 5 weeks to find/bring in 'our new striker'.

[burnley007]

Seems ridiculous to even mention us but...

https://manutdnews.com/man-utd-are-cont ... d-burnley/

[Darnhill Claret]

To have our positions filled, bar one, at this stage, will make it our best window in terms of season planning that I can remember.
We might even have all our business done before our opening game.
Well done Recruitment.

[JimmyRobbo]

Johnstone and Cajuste would both be solid additions.

The sort of business which makes sense. I doubt either will make money for us but could be part of a solid core group fighting relegation.

A departure from the VK promotion shopping list. Good to see. (If it happens, obviously.)

Still think we need another centre mid.

[burnley007]

Still think we need another centre mid.

Absolutely 100%.

[Jakubs Tash]

Still think we need another centre mid.

I agree.

I think there are two quite significant things to consider here:

1) The Man City deal for Trafford seems ‘light’ - surely there’s a sweeter coming our way.

2) We haven’t yet made any domestic loans. We need to make use of these and ensure we bring in two strong players.

[claretlegend]

The Senegalese striker looks a real handful. I can't see us beating Man United and Brentford to him though.

Done anyone know what Nixon headline of 'Burnley, Stevenage want keeper' is about?

[FeedTheArf]

Johnstone would be a fantastic signing. Trafford for all of his potential hasn’t done it in the Premier League… yet.

Whilst Johnstone isn’t going to be a world beater, he’s as solid as they come. Experienced, in and around the England setup and has played in the Champ too so doubt he’ll be pushing for a move if we end up going down.

Totally agree. If Weiss is one for the future, Johnstone is a great profile of player to learn from and deputise for too.

[Paddy1882]

Absolutely. Iv said previously however I have a feeling the money isn’t there, I think we get one midfielder and a striker both on loan then a keeper and that’ll be us done.

[Rowls]

Promising news this morning.

Can we get back to bickering please? This thread feels all out of sorts.

[GrahamBranchsPerm]

I've been told that Cajuste is far more advanced than what is currently being reported, IE practically done.

Hope so - looks good.

Him and Sam Johnstone would be great.
