Summer transfer window

Westley going to Dundee

[Burnley1989]

You’ve got to love this board
Hamer is overweight and sulks a lot
He was the best player in the championship last year and the main reason Sheff United got as many points as they did.
De Souza was decent but when we played them at the end of the season he couldn’t get near Hannibal. And despite a few burnley fans before the game saying how unfit and overweight Hamer was he showed why he was the best player on the pitch (bar Esteve)

Would be an excellent signing - but think there’s going to be a few teams after him including Leeds.

And still think we need another striker in addition to Broja as even if we got a player like Hamer we need someone who is good enough to make the runs and be on his wavelength….and then good enough to covert enough of the chances he is creating

What do you expect, its the same thread we have people saying Mason Mount is no good.

Nobody said he sulks a lot. It's hilarious how people read something and then just create there own made up version of it whilst ironically trying to act intellectually superior.

I said he would likely sulk if he were involved in another relegation IMO, and by sulk I mean would look to leave in the same way Berge did. Another one who gave it a year in the champ with Sheff utd but was unwilling to do so again, rightly so at his age.

I don't see him as a replacement for Brownhill for that reason, we need to be careful to ensure things don't collapse if we are to be relegated. Brownhill has been a huge part of that in the last couple of promotion seasons through his leadership. I think it's important we maintain that, which I don't think replacing Brownhill with Hamer does.

Berge didn't sulk, he just understandably left

Ok apologies you didn’t say he sulks a lot.
You did have him down as someone who sulk if we went down though I’m not sure what this is based on.
We need to accept that if we get relegated then it’s inevitable that a number of the better players are going to want to leave. Pretty sure Esteve would want to leave for example but none of us would say he is likely to sulk.

[Jakubclaret]

He didn't get chance to had the Fulham move been denied it's something that could have easily happened but like always the dosh was needed even more so dropping through the trapdoor.

[taio]

I imagine he'd have still moved. In any case the Fulham move didn't fall through

[matttheclaret]

Joe Bauress gone to Stanley on loan

[KRBFC]

He started a lot of games, but how many did he finish? I’ve not looked it up, but seem to remember him being subbed off, looking exhausted, quite a few times last season.

Is a player giving absolutely everything they physically can during game suddenly a bad thing?

[Jakubclaret]

The point being berge aside you'd be hard pressed to find a non sulking player when somebody's got a chance to move up a division & earn more.

[warksclaret]

Ahmedhodzic? I’m guessing that spelling btw.

Edit. Just seen he’s gone for 7m. A steal at that price. I really rated him
Agreed-really good centre half and one of their better players whilst in the PL

Westley going to Dundee

Perfect move for him at this stage in his career.

Looks like a genuine finisher in the Mark Robins mould.

Yes that's my opinion from watching years of football. He'd be a player in his peak years, with no reason to show us any loyalty and has proven himself to good for the Champ. I really doubt he'd stay if we went down.

Maybe sulk was the wrong word, my point was I don't think he's someone you could hang your hat on to lead the dressing room in the way Brownhill did, which is what I was responding to.

[martin_p]

It is if they’re only fit enough to do that for 60-70 minutes.

[billyhamilton82]

Joe Bauress gone to Stanley on loan

Still only 19 and this will do him the world of good with regular pro football.

Its good to see the young lads now being fixed up with career progressing moves.

[billyhamilton82]

I know there has been some conjecture in relation to selling players.

As far as I can tell these are the players we need to sell/loan?

I think Green will miss out and go on loan, Hdladky will stay as the number 2 with Weiss as number 3.

Delcroix will stay if SP sees him as good enough cover at LCB whilst Humphreys injured, otherwise we sell and replace.

Am I missing anyone as there doesn't seem the urgency I assumed was required?

Sonne - Loan
Benson - Sell
Green - Loan
Banel - Loan
Sambo - Loan
Delcroix - Keep/Sell
Churlinov - Sell
Obafemi - Sell

Ageyi - Injured
Amdouni - Injured

Had a very good game at Southampton last season
Surprised we haven't offered him another deal as he is ooc next summer

[Guller Bull]

Broja update


https://eplindex.com/134557/sky-sports- ... rward.html

[mkmel]

It's the passing of his medical that we're waiting to hear about

[ollieclarets8]

Broja update

Doesn't look to be an update, just a rehash of the news from the weekend.

[Steddyman]

Let's stop talking about Hamer please, he has never been linked to us. When he is, then fair game.

[aggi]

He started a lot of games, but how many did he finish? I’ve not looked it up, but seem to remember him being subbed off, looking exhausted, quite a few times last season.

I think football is behind other sports (rugby comes to mind) in expecting players to be able to play 90 minutes every week rather than telling them that they'll be coming off on 60 minutes and play with an intensity to match that. I think it was Eddie Jones who rebranded subs as "finishers".

With the 5 subs now it isn't like you need to save the subs in case someone is injured.

[burnleytom]

Westley move is a bit odd, as it’s looked nailed on for weeks that he’d be going back to Swindon, where he obviously played under Holloway last year.

I noted that before the weekend, Dundee were the favourites to get relegated out of the SPL. Wonder how much the club have nudged him in that direction. A ‘strategic partner’, or whatever we are calling them, playing at that lower level is far from ideal. I imagine anything up to 3 loanees might also pitch up there in the next month.

Sacha T was linking Hamer as close to getting a move to PSV about 3 weeks ago.

[burnleytom]

The step from U21’s to League One is still huge. Most of the lads, if not all of them, that we’ve got out to that level are the more ‘senior’ of the youth players, and those who have had loans at Football League level already. Those in that position, have either left (Richardson, Costelloe), or are about to leave, in the case of Dodgson.

Getting anyone out and being a starter at League Two level is good for us. Outside of Bauress and McDermott, and possibly the lad who did the year at Dundee, I’d suggest Mellon is the only one likely to get a club at League One level.

Even Bauress didn’t make it to League One. Just goes to show how difficult it is.

Its the best case scenario for us.

If he progresses into the player we think he could do then we will have first refusal to sign him back.

Scottish Premier or League Two, sadly for Swindon its a no brainer.

On the other hand playing for a lower team in his division means he is up against better defenders. Long term this could make or break him. Just what our staff will be keeping an eye on.

I'll have a pint of whatever you are drinking

On the 23rd July I posted that after the Trafford dealwas done a prediction that we would sign a striker, a defensive midfielder one of which would be a club record fee for an incoming transfer and a replacement GK. Although they haven't actually completed yet I think you must admit that my prediction was absolutely spot on. Broja, Les and Dubravka look to be on the way. I made a second prediction for the days just before the window closes so we will see how that goes. I'm still quite confident.

With regard to wanting a pint of whatever I am drinking I am open to negotiations on a transfer deal, permanent mind no options or obligations to buy as part of any loan deal. I do have a buyout clause of 3 cases of what I am drinking. Any transfer of drinks information also has an add on of two extra tins every time you have a bit of inspiration to make a prediction of your own as a result of using my specialist football transfer skills. Of course you have to implement the full set of instructions to be able to invoke my special powers.

You have to have imbibed a set amount of the beer I am drinking, wear a Burnley shirt of course, recite the mantra " my favourite football transfer prediction drink is ****** but of course I can't tell you that until the transfer has been agreed and completed. You have to do this when the sun is about to go down and you have to spin round 5 times in a clockwise direction and then ask for divine intervention by the footballing gods.

I'm not ITK, don't have any connection to players, agents or the club but I do have football transfer prediction special powers given to me by the footballing gods. Yes I have obviously imbibed a little more than I should. I did get the prediction right though. Cheers.

[Darnhill Claret]

I told you a year ago that Trafford was always going home. I don’t drink.

[NewClaret]

So then, Nostradamus, after these three: another striker & midfielder, one of which will be a club record, two loans incoming and 10-12 outgoings.

Lot to look forward to then

I posted two weeks ago we would not sign anybody on a permanent contract before the end of the window. But I maybe wrong because I have been told that Tom Cairney is available for 2m but then again it's a chat with a journo in a pub.
My guess Broja has failed his medial which I think we is good and we dodged a bullet.
All the transfer rumours are just agents using Burnley to put their players in the shop window.

[Elizabeth]

That should come out in a day or two then

Tom cairney only recently signed a year extension at Fulham

[Bullabill]

My guess Broja has failed his medial ....

But passed his lateral?

[Spike]

My guess is signings now take longer because Alan Pace now has a Siesta everyday and of course we always have to wait for the Reveal team

[Row x]

Or these are the biggest transfer fees we've ever paid and all the dots and crosses have to be correct

[Spike]

Problem with that is if you have the smallest amount of understanding and accept these things take longer than they do on computer games then it removes the opportunity to have a lazy dig at Pace.

Still I guess spike's post seemed funny to him

Why are you always having a dig at me and the digs seem more direct than lazy

[claretonthecoast1882]

Why are you always having a dig at me and the digs seem more direct than lazy

Merely an observation of your constant digs at the owners on pretty much every post on any topic even it non related.

Surely you are ok with this if you dish it out so frequently.

[Pearcey]

Come on you two. Don’t ruin it for everyone else please. Did you not see what happened recently?

Ben Mee linked with Sunderland ffs.

[Woosh Deakin]

Ben Mee linked with Sunderland ffs.

Why FFS? Bearing in mind we have both Steve and Humphries as LCB now - would you drop either of them for Ben Mee?

[GetIntoEm]

We don't need Mee, let it go.

Broja will be announced by end of the week. I heard all done and dusted. Medical done

Back up to both of them 100%

[Woodleyclaret]

Nunez off to Saudi for upto £56.6m
Liverpool have some serious negotiatiors to get this much for an erratic goal scorer

[RVclaret]

Sounds like Dubravka saw a specialist for a shoulder issue instead of going to South Korea with the rest of Newcastle’s squad. Howe says he’s had an injection and should be okay. But I wonder if this forces us elsewhere. Time ticking on a keeper!

[Jakubs Tash]

[KRBFC]

Not sure why we haven’t been linked with Mads Hermansen from Leicester
