Summer transfer window

[Goliath]

If you take time to read back, the initial post was in response to Goliath in respect of a direct comparison between the respective pre season's of VK (at Burnley and SP (at Burnley).

Simply put, IMO we are better set up under SP in prepration for a PL season than we were under VK as I believe because he has been there before and knows what's coming.

VK, following on from having a very haphazard transfer window, never got to grips with the higher level and was IMO, extremely naive.

The fact he has maanged in the PL before is in my opinion a positive not a negative.

Just to clarify, I was responding to the idea we are ahead of where we were then in terms of preparation. I disagreed. It wasn't a criticism of Parker in the slightest.

[agreenwood]

Ofcourse he failed 3 times. Which season are you claiming was a success?

Better off leaving him alone, he isn't getting the attention he craves on twitter so comes here with his nonsense to get some.

Do we know if the Mount links are credible?

Right, so without those we wouldn't be anywhere near enough points surely? I don't really see what you're disagreeing with..we both think we need to improve the starting 11 to be competitive.

Based on the previous 9 or so windows and the business done this window to date there’s no reason to suggest we won’t see 3 holes plugged (and more) in the next month (probably 10 days). So we’re not really a million miles off.

[BigGaz]

We're going to be getting all 3 holes plugged for the next 9 months lads, there's no rush.

It wasn't me who said 3. I think it's a minimum of 3 so we don't end up on a stupidly low points tally similar to last time.
To have a chance of stay up I think we need at least 4.

2 central midfielders including someone who can be used alongside or instead of Cullen, 1 striker and a goalkeeper. Even then, where are the goals coming from?

But again it's a big ask to say we need to basically build about a quarter of the side in the next month. So we need an unusually high success rate with the deals we do in the next month to stand a chance IMO..it's doable but I think we are up against it.

Where's the reasoning that they aren't failures? Simply saying they aren't isn't reasoning or facts.

The facts are he has been relegated twice and sacked in the other. Just because the first one they were 10 points from safety with 10 games to go doesn't mean being relegated was a failure. Neither does complaining about transfers after shipping 16 goals in 4 games mean getting sacked wasn't a failure.

[KRBFC]

Any transfer news? We’re an absolute mile off as it stands.

That Espanyol deal can’t have been cheap, I guess we’re skint now.

Another one from the Athletic illustrating why Sunderland are spending so much

However the hypocrisy is that you didn’t apply your same reasoning to last season under Parker.
2 Championship Promotions. That’s why he was brought in.
Yet you whined and bleated and threw your little tantrums all year saying he’s not good enough.

Where was this reasoning then ?

[Taffy on the wing]

Let's hope not!........past it at 26.

I thought he'd underachieved with the squads he had in being promoted via play offs and 2nd place. But his promotions were successes, there was and is no arguing with that, I never said they were failures. But we're getting off topic. I was simply responding to a point being made, it wasn't meant as a wider a criticism.

[willsclarets]

Definitely panic setting in if we're going back to questioning Parker's credentials! He's not had great success in the premier league no, that's why he's at Burnley and not somewhere else.

I'm not feeling too bad about where we are with transfers to be honest. We've obviously got irons in the fire with midfielders and goalkeepers. I don't doubt we'll get those in. A striker is more tricky, good ones are very expensive and sought after. Maybe a loan here? Not sure who, but someone perhaps who needs a fresh start.

If we get to a few days shy of Spurs and none of the above are through the door, i'll join the million miles off club.

Is it panic setting in or is it a handful of folk that struggle to maintain their composure and cannot regulate their emotions Well?

Things are moving.

Youre bang on and perfectly describes my emotions during a cricket mate, I dont feel the same connection in football luckily so Im never that arsed

[BurnleyFC]

I’d be amazed if Mount wanted to come to Burnley.

[jojomk1]

I’d be amazed if Mount wanted to come to Burnley.

There would be a total meltdown on here if he chose Sunderland

[Hedontplayforyou]

Why do I get the feeling that there’ll be another complete surprise of a signing?

Like the Walker one

[Cooclaret]

I’d be amazed if Mount wanted to come to Burnley.

Depends if he wants to play in Claret or Blue.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Everton?

[warksclaret]

Agreed-so how the hell did we get Walker on a permanent ???

[mkmel]

[JohnDearyMe]

I am led to believe by club insiders that the development of "the fan experience" linked to the cricket field stand played a key role in securing his signature.

[123EasyasBFC]

Mount isn’t a proper link, it’s a chancer on X making a story up that us and Sunderland want Mount

Suddenly everything is now clearer

[BurnleyFC]

He knows Scott Parker and one of his lads is already at our academy.

It's amazing how bullshit like that can gain traction.

[123EasyasBFC]

It's amazing how bullshit like that can gain traction.

And how easy it is for a poster on here to say ‘yes Mount is a name I’ve been told’

[gandhisflipflop]

If I had a pound for every time someone on here used the word ‘chancer’ I’d be able to buy the players myself

I’m just waiting for Steddy to mark himself as safe!

[CharlieinNewMexico]

An African account with half a million followers thinks we’re in for Francis Abu at Cercle Bruges but he may go to Toulouse.
CM. 6ft. Played 29 times last year.

Cue jokes we have nothing Toulouse, Goodbye Toulouse (Stranglers) etc etc

There's not 1 person on this entire site that is in the know personally

Son in law has been a major footballing correspondent for 2 national dailys for the last 8 years, and knows the square root of bugger all about 99% of transfers before they happen. ... basically because that kind of info is marketable and the likes of Fabrizio will pay more for it than the papers will.

Pedalling horsesh1t to the eager and gullible via social media is becoming a national pastime (in his opinion).
Nixon (in his opinion) is the biggest scammer/blagger of the lot.

[Claretnick]

Tyler Morton close to leaving Liverpool for Lyon at a fee of £15m. Is he the type of DM which should be looking for?

https://x.com/TheAthleticFC/status/1951369078956023928

[ksrclaret]

Yeah without knowing a huge deal about him, Morton is someone I thought we might look to sign given his profile. A fee that should be doable for us.

I'm hoping we've got a surprise or two lined up for CM. Many plausible options gone elsewhere.

Morton has played less than 90 minutes of Premier League football in his career

2 seasons in the 2nd tier and he's worth £15m?

[ksrclaret]

I don't have anything to do with the fees players go for these days.

Looks a good player. Ball winning CM with the ability to play and carry the ball from deep.

[UTC01]

Anyone know if there's any truth in the mount rumours?

[agreenwood]

…

[RVclaret]

Would take Broja. It’s time he kicked on.

[agreenwood]

It’s all over X already, so must be something in it.

Doesn’t actually say if it’s a loan or permanent.

[123EasyasBFC]

It’s not a link but I think Broja at Chelsea would be worth a punt on, either perm or loan with option

Well well well, will the real ITK please stand up

[Boss Hogg]

Not exactly prolific

[ksrclaret]

Not exactly prolific

Prolific premier league strikers won't be turning up at Gawthorpe this summer.

[ayrshireclaret83]

Broja Due for medical with us according to this no idea who the source is
