We must be signing someone today. We've only signed 2 players this week, so 1 more required.

Steddyman

Every new player announcement video, the players always seem to state one of the core reasons for joining is how much they want to learn from VK and the coaching staff. People on here must understand that the Tella that arrived at Burnley on day one, is not the Tella that left Burnley at the end of ...

Could we not offer Coventry Bastien?

Would love us to get Hamer but I'm guessing that ship has sailed now.

I think we'd have to offer Taylor, Bastion, Twine and Benson plus £10m to meet their valuation

Could somebody please put Nixon’s story up for those who don’t have access? By Alan Nixon Burnley have bid £9 million plus extras for Nathan Tella - the loan star who fired them to the Premier League. But Southampton turned down the offer and are looking for between £15 and £20 million for the spee...

I always thought Bastien looked clumsy last season. He only got on the team sheet when we had no other options. I don't see him playing for us again.

Steddyman

Replace weggy with Foster, Jay with Zaroury & Cork with Cullen & that team will match almost every team in the PL. Don't agree. Weggy has been fantastic at pressing and closing down. Jays intelligence has been key to holding the ball but I do agree about Cork, he's given it away way too much and se...

Hope you’re right mate - don’t think anyone is being bolshy about you saying what you’ve heard/saying you’re lying etc. I personally appreciate people saying what they’ve been informed if it’s a source they themselves know is sound. Me too. These kind of insider rumours are the reason I read this t...

Burnley Express journalist has confirmed that fee for Tella is not agreed and medical is not booked. Yet another wrong info from "ITK's". Our local journalists don't have a good record of being upto date on transfers. Even if they are ITK, they don't share until is pretty much guaranteed due to the...

Steddyman

Totally agree re: Nathan Tella. For me he was the heartbeat of the club last season. His goals, pace, absolute enthusiasm foe everything Claret rubbed off on the pitch and made its way very quickly to the supporters. We need that back from the off this season so we need him around. 100%. He was an ...

Maybe a message board isn’t for you then.

You can always just check in on Sky Sports football transfers page

They only post transfer that are close to already being confirmed.

It is the rumours of what might be that I follow this thread for.

Steddyman

It's 'Summer transfer window 2023' before the subheading. Money in money out and transfer fees are an aspect of every transfer window, bit silly to forbid that. I've got to ask why you're so hellbent on shutting it down any aspect of the window you're not interested in discussing though- nobody mak...

This, absolutely, THIS!

Apologies is the thread title is not clear. It 'discussion' about the transfer rumours, not the clubs accounting and spenditure.

If it is discussion on anything, then why do we need more than a single thread on this board?

Steddyman

With supposed links to Clarke, Hamer, Flemming, Tresor, Vrankx, Lakonga, Maatsen, Tella, the lad from Espanyol and so forth where is all this money coming from ? We might also need another LB in addition to Maatsen. Perhaps we might see a number of outgoings soon, Wout, Taylor, Bastien, Chulinov, M...

Alan Pace at the game today. Is it typical for the chairman to attend preseason friendlies away? Or there to negotiate a deal for someone?

He had no choice, he couldn't find a stream.

But the purpose of pre season friendlies isn’t to entertain fans. Surely that’s obvious?

That doesn't mean fans don't want to see them and the club has always catered for this.

Steddyman

If they were for supporters then we’d be playing them at Turf Moor. Friendlies are obviously for the benefit of the team, not the supporters. In previous years, we have always had frendlies at Turf Moor, usually European ones too. Also the social media team has been posting traveller information al...

Why is it? Friendlies aren’t for supporters.

Yes they are. I always travelled and watched every friendly game in the UK. It was part of the build up the the league.

If they weren't for supporters, we all wouldn't be trying to find a link.

Steddyman

It's very poor of BFC to host all UK pre-season friendly games behind closed doors, then don't stream away games.

Steddyman

Where do you go on bet365 to watch it? I'm on the In-Play-Soccer view of our match and I don't see a stream.

Reports this morning saying City’s buy back clause for Trafford is £42million.

Either Romano or Sasha said yesterday it was 3x the transfer fee. So I guess that means we are paying £14 million.

or perhaps we should just not bother dealing with Coventry full stop

I agree with this. I think right now Coventry see themselves as superior and on that basis alone reject all our offers.

Has we have seen, we always have multiple backups. Move on.

Steddyman

I believe it when I see the announcement video.

Sorry, you probably didn't deserve that. Just a bit miffed with this thread constantly being derailed when we have an entire messageboard for discussion. At least your discussion was about a rumoured player.

Steddyman

I'm with Cooclaret on this one I'm not overly impressed with Palmer but again I've not seen how he'd stack up in our team, more than happy to be wrong but I think I'd prefer Tella back if given the option. We should take your and Cooclarets opinion on this then and back out of the deal, thanks for ...

I predict we will get the following in the building over the next two weeks :

Tella
Gomez or Palmer

I was expecting that over the last 2 weeks, post the International window opening. I was to be disappointed.

This is another level now.

Well that's money up in smoke then.

We should be in for Cheech.

By the way, Coulibaly had an ACL tear when he did his medical with Dortmund, but Dortmund passed him because they judged it recoverable. He struggled for game time mainly because of the ferocity of the competition in defence in a team that pushed Bayern all the way last season, not because he's a c...

I like Tella, he’s a footballer with talent and potential, but I’m not overly worried if he doesn’t come back this season. I've never seen any Burnley player with a better first touch, and an instinct for where the net is. If he doesn't come back, I'd be seriously worried about our safety this seas...

Steddyman

It's refreshing for our bids not to be always accompanied by the word 'insulting' as they used to be (unless it is for a Coventry player).

Steddyman

Sad to read about Fosters struggles with depression. That will definitely impact his performance and confidence on the pitch. I hope we can give him the support he needs.

I don't get the obsessions with wasting 5 pages of a transfer thread slagging of Muric or justifying him leaving if Trafford comes in.

All that is pertinent to this thread is the fact Trafford is or isn't joining us.

Assumption with Trafford is he needs a medical before confirming the transfer?

I thought when this first broke at the start of this week, all the trusted news sources said the medical was the next day.

Perhaps we need him for the signing on video before it can be announced,
