Summer 2025 BFC Transfer Window - Links and discussion on the Linked player only.

[Newty]

Here's some Chelsea fans opinions I've just copied and pasted from reddit:

- I really liked him, genuinely thought he had a future with us. Bit gutted he’s going tbf but he would get next to no game time.
- Burnley, you have yourself a superstar
- Banger signing, feels like he was undervalued within the club. I'd rather sign Ugochukwu than Dewsbury-Hall for a team battling relegation.
- Good luck Les. I think there is a player in there.
- Amazing signing for Burnley. He's really talented. Could easily start for a top 10 PL club. 
- Brilliant signing from Burnley, really think Ugochukwu has the potential to become a big player one day. Would hope for a buyback/sell-on here.
- He can definitely do well there Instead of being asked to play like xavi by that fool at Southampton last year, Parker will just use him as a solid midfielder
- Huge signing for Burnley. He would start for Man United.

The only Southampton comment I saw described him as "a light in the darkness last season".

Given what Chelsea paid and what we'd be capable of paying, I'm assuming they're using us to develop him by letting us buy him on the cheap and have a massive sell on fee or favourable buy back clause because no chance we'd pay that, surely?

[Vegas Claret]

We clearly hsve a good relstionship with Chelsea since the Maatsen signing, both signings this season out of the blue until Ornstein. The new lad should help Loum Tchaouna settle too and help him with his English

Don't know much about him.

[billyhamilton82]

One to cross off the possible attacking midfield loan moves mentioned previously as Dewsbury Hall joins Everton, £25m.

Brilliant signing

Well done BFC

Looks to be just what the doctor ordered!.......#8 sorted with a big upgrade.

Now we look to be getting somewhere. Looks exactly what we need alongside Cullen. Big, strong, quick enough and gets stuck in. Bring it on.

[ClaretPete001]

Ugochukwu looks like a really interesting signing.....! Fair is fair probably most exciting of the summer.

[mkmel]

Lots on here had trouble spelling Chris Woods name correctly.

So no chance with Ugachuckwa

Oops!

I can certainly see our wide players benefiting from him. Looks to have a very good first touch too.

Yes.....the sort of player we've needed for a long time (Berge period excluded).
Very much looking forward to the new season now.

We need to ‘Burnlify him’

It’s a simple Les from me.

Johnstone still in the keeper loop according to the link:

He really looks exactly what we needed in there. Cullen's minder.

Remember the old "Ooo David Eyres"

Song for Oguchuckwu.......to the tune of "Ooma palooma blanca"?

Oo oo a oo Goo Chookwa!

It’s Ugochukwu. I’ve taken it on board so hopefully everyone else has.

Still works i reckon......

Noted on the name...... but it'll get a far worse mangling & soon.

[JimmyRobbo]

Surely, somebody far more talented than me will have linked it to Alvin Stardust? Perhaps even in a Steve way for Esteve.

Assume we're just awaiting the PR faculty if DO has announced it.

Big…Les…Ugochukwu.
The brick shithouse in claret and blue.
In our midfield, he hates the Bastards too
Big Les Ugochukwu.

[boatshed bill]

Any news on Broja?

[Dark Cloud]

If we end up with Broja, Les, Mount and an experienced PL goalkeeper before the window closes I'll be keeping next summer free for Europa league qualification!! (We won't though will we!!)

[ollieclarets8]

If we end up with Broja, Les, Mount and an experienced PL goalkeeper before the window closes I'll be keeping next summer free for Europa league qualification!! (We won't though will we!!)

Sounds like Mount was completely made up, so we can forget that one.

Keeper, Chuck, Broja and maybe another central defender.

[Jakubclaret]

"Sounds like mount was completely made up" - I don't believe you.

Once again, Dark Cloud speak with forked tongue. There’s no way Mason Mount will play for Burnley in a million years. Just forget about it.

[KernowHouseClaret]

https://youtu.be/l6DepmNwbn8?si=y0o2oDmQN1YWbIUE

That was going to be my selection, it's almost written for him already!!

Ok Dermot. It's all just "blew away"!! (To quote my favourite film of all time!)

[AfloatinClaret]

I'm glad somebody got my 'failed' attempt at humour

We got it, but we couldn't reply without pointing out the apostrophe that you'd omitted and appearing picky: Before or after the 's' depending upon whether you were referencing the striker or the goalkeeper.

[mkmel]

I purposely didn't put an apostrophe either before or after the s.

I was reminding people that some on here used to mistakenly call him Chris WoodS.

[mkmel]

Having said that yes I should have put an apostrophe after the s'

My apologies

[Guller Bull]

Show case reels are just what they are but I am loving this boy. Look at some of them tackles.Kind of player that you feel you are going to get injured when you tackle him! (don't mean that in a vicious way - just all action) Just what we have been missing. That is a key signing!

Imagine him alongside Cullen and Mejbri. If he can settle in quickly then this gives us a chance.

His tackling worries me.
He's obviously a big strong lad, protects the ball ok. A good range of passing, but the thing that stood out for me was 90% of his tackles he ended up on the deck. That's a bad trait in any league, but definitely in the Prem. You can't race back in defence if you're sat on your arse.

I might be making something of nothing, but it's not something I like in a CM.

Fair point - young enough to coach though. If he was perfect then Chelsea wouldn’t be selling or we couldn’t afford him.

Are you the one who shouts "Get some blood on yer boots Burnley" every time we lose a tackle?

He gets the ball, and gets up pretty quickly.
Nothing to worry about

[warksclaret]

We do appear to have some finite readers of the game on board.

[Colburn_Claret]

Nothing to do with reading the game, we were always taught as kids to stay on your feet.
The idea is you win the ball, falling over you might take it away from the opposition, but you don't win it.

... but are showcase reels likely to show routine tackles/interceptions?

[Father Jack]

Chelsea are very happy to leak transfer news their end aren’t they? Must frustrate us when we’re trying to keep things in private and Chelsea leak deals which haven’t concluded yet.

[Jakubclaret]

Are we trying to keep things private or is it due to the very nature of the way we are going about our business completing fast making things appear that way.

[Father Jack]

It would appear that the Chelsea duo were leaked pre medical stage and pre full agreement on the structure of the deal & payments. Can only think that would be the selling club or agents doing. Not ours

[Steddyman]

Does that mean it is off?

[Father Jack]

No. Just commenting that a leak of a deal not yet fully concluded may give the wrong impression that things are taking a long time to move forwards

[brexit]

Are we trying to keep things private or is it due to the very nature of the way we are going about our business completing fast making things appear that way.

Or we are being used by agents to put the players in the shop window and we have no intention of signing these players.
