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

Pretty certain he used to be a winger and he’s now a RWB.

So if anything this seems to be the Sonne upgrade in the back 5 formation.

I thought Sonne should really maturity when he came on yesterday and help see the game out.

However at spurs he looked out his depth, but spurs also made Rico Lewis look out his depth yesterday.

[claretburns]

BBC have done an article about "What each Premier League Club needs before the Transfer Window Shuts", the short piece on Burnley below:

Burnley
Burnley have secured 13 permanent transfers this summer in a bid to survive in the Premier League, with sources suggesting that will be that unless a deal appears that they cannot resist.

Key defender Maxime Esteve has been the subject of interest, so if any late offers come in manager Scott Parker is likely to seek out a replacement.

The Clarets have also been dealt a blow in that area after Jordan Beyer, suffered a setback following 19 months out with a knee injury, so Parker will be weighing up that option carefully.

As we near the end of the summer window, Parker has said there will be outgoings at Turf Moor, to "lighten" Burnley's squad.

This is somewhat interesting:

BREAKING: Scott Parker has told Belgian winger Mike Tresor to “stop, collaborate and listen” ahead of Tuesday nights cup tie against Derby County. The pair are undergoing talks with Tresor stating “I want to break free” in transfer terms. Will Magic Mike return?!

The reply on there says it didn't happen and it's from Ice Ice Baby!

I did think it was rather cryptic. Explains why

Two ex players training with Sheff Utd with a view of getting a contract are Redmond and Ings. Plus talk of Mee attracting attention from Sheff Utd too . Someone previously mentioned on here-Soucek is target for David Moyes, but the real bargain for me who is probably leaving Man City-Akanji is subject to £15m offer from Palace. In todays prices that appears a bargain

[timscoot]

Think wages might be a problem !

Manuel Akanji earns an annual salary of £9.3 million (or $9.36 million) with a reported base weekly salary of £180,000 at Manchester City, according to multiple sources including Spotrac.com, salaryleaks.com, and AiScore. This figure was part of the five-year contract he signed in 2022, which also reportedly includes performance-related bonuses.

Staggering figures for someone not playing in the first 11

[randomclaret2]

How much was Kyle Walker on at City ?

He would be great in our system IMO

[warksclaret]

How reliable is the source Newcastle ?? Sounds too good to be true

[randomclaret2]

He has played the majority of Premier League games for City since he signed.

Seems to be pretty reliable, reporter for the local news with 420k followers.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Why do I get the feeling that “Burnley” means Espanyol in this ?

[FeedTheArf]

With 1 goal in his last 43 appearances I’d rather try Flemming/Ramsey/Tresor there than be paying out on another fee and wages.

No idea why you should think that at all tbh.

I suspect he’s been targeted as a back up to Cullen. (I know he traditionally plays a bit further forward but in latter years he’s started drifting further back and being more of a metronome type midfielder).

Would make a lot of sense to me.

[billyhamilton82]

Ironically, he was on loan at Espanyol in 2023.

He's having a laugh - wasn't serious.

We are looking at signing FC Metz Senegalese CB Sadibou Sane. Looks like there is competition from others though.

Few more links popping up recently . Something on the verge I reckon

"The 21-year-old Senegalese defender has already accepted the terms of a four-year contract with the Clarets."

I mean, this makes things even more complicated because it's not just a rumour - he's actually communicated with the club and agreed a deal!

He has agreed terms on a contract, basically he is happy with the package we have offered, not necessarily he will sign for us if other clubs come sniffing, also reporting that Wolfsburg have made a bid for him as well.

But like I say, he must have communicated with the club.

Ings signs for Sheff Utd
One year plus extra year option

[DingleDangle]

Possible interest in Timo Werner from RBL Leipzig.........maybe? Leeds also mentioned as well though.

Metz were reported in January to be interested in Delcroix. I wonder if there could be a possible deal here...

No thanks

If Leeds or Sunderland are mentioned, it's lazy work and you can pretty much ignore it.

We don't need another striker/winger who can't score goals. We've got enough of those already thanks.

Sort of what I was hinting at with my wording and the fact that Leeds are mentioned as well. It's a link, no matter how tenuous it is, nevertheless

Of course, and I'd take any link right now just to brighten up the thread.

That would be ideal!

[burnley007]

If only we'd signed DCL....

For Leeds it was a frustrating evening, and in particular for new signing Calvert-Lewin.

The former Everton striker has pedigree in this competition, having scored 12 goals in his previous 16 appearances, but endured a game to forget.

Calvert-Lewin should have scored the winner in stoppage time, but somehow shot wide with the goal gaping, and was then twice denied by Horvath.

To sum up a miserable night for him and Leeds at Hillsborough - a ground where they had not lost since 2017 - he launched his penalty high over the bar in the resulting shootout.

At what point is this anything to do with a link to Burnley?
FFS give it a break

Got to imagine that means one or two of the CBs on the books are leaving

[ollieclarets8]

Delcroix?

[warksclaret]

Delcroix?

Worrall, Humphreys are part of first team . Tuanzebe when fit is primarily a RB and only on a years contract so unlikely to be going. THat leaves just Delcroix and Beyer, but the latter is on a long term recovery, no one would take him right now. Delcroix has no future with us so needs to go this window

[Newcastleclaret93]

Delcroix?

I would hazard a guess and say Worrall and Delcroix as a minimum

[beeholeclaret]

I was just thinking those exact thoughts before I read your post!

I think we have the option of extending Tuanzebe's contract for another year. But yeah, does look like Delcroix.

[warksclaret]

Its possible Worrall has said to SP that he wants to be playing regularly and the club will find him a suitable loan or sale (as per John Egan). Thats a shame as I think Scott has a lot of trust in him. If thats the case then I would expect a "serious " CH joining us, and Worrall only leaving when that happens

No problem with Worrall at Championship level, or a sub to bring on in the latter minutes to defend a lead. But at the end of the day he's still a place on the bench that can be easily improved.

[CoolClaret]

I'm not so sure we'd be able to shift Worrall; he'll be on a packet. Only a handful of interested clubs would be able to pay his wages.

[CrosspoolClarets]

This lad has only just turned 21 and isn't yet anywhere near his potential. I’d be amazed if he could reliably fill in like Worrall can do. He isn’t the quickest either, plus Who Scored characterises him as very weak passing, so I struggle to see how it can be an improvement, unless the kid has kicked on in recent months.

After what happened to Max on Saturday, it is very easy to imagine us being dreadfully exposed at CB, I’d really like a well known quality incoming for the vital times like Saturday where we Parker the bus, because that is our strategy, no doubt.

[Murger]

Once Humphreys and Tuanzebe are fit, there’ll be no place on the bench for Worrall.

[morninbob]

Yes, these 2 cover multiple positions, so no need for a full back and centre half.
