Here's a thread that has been started on a Millwall forum: https://millwallonline.com/forum/thread ... ard.51487/

Reads like a link to this site

[NewClaret]

I got it from a non media link - nothing to substantiate it though

Interesting. I was sold based on my 3 minute scouting session

They don't seem faaking 'appy about it! Sounds a good prospect, if it gets over the line.

"Ballard £2M. Will be worth a lot more in the future. Gutted we have not signed him."

[louieollie]

Nip out for a walk and a signing comes from nowhere!

Interesting that nobody was linking us to him. Gives me hope that the journo’s don’t have a clue what’s goi g on and VK May have a few tricks up his sleeve.

I think the majority of the journalists ( so to speak) are just chancers trawling through social media for snippets to regurgitate.....I was poo pooed yesterday for sharing how we tried to sign Harry Darlings between him accepting Swansea's offer and taking the medical but it's 100% and it wasn't reported by these "in the know" .....so it just shows we are certainly happy to work under the radar for the ones we REALLY want .

Surely your news re. Twine will be out in the media shortly though if it’s true.

Impatient you are young RV

I don't get the antipathy towards good club player Kev Long he's been a good servant and has played well when asked.
As for JBG he will do well next year and had proven to be a good creator of chances. He is recovering in time to play his part in our promotion team

Nurse!!!

While we are here, another new name to be linked by Mercato

‘Negotiations are progressing rather well between Standard de Liège and Burnley for a possible transfer of Jackson Muleka.’

He is a 22 year old striker.

[Andreshotboots]

We need to slow down a bit here, with all these new players coming in we'll have to have the names on the front, as well as the backs of the shirts, I won't bloody recognise anybody.

I saw that one but not sure about the link, it doesn’t seem to be a website or anything?

This Le Soir article mentions it

It says discussions are already advanced with a 4m euro fee being discussed

Obligatory highlights reel of Muleka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCZvNMf-rxU

[NewClaret]

Muleka looks good!

[gawthorpe_view]

Muleka looks good!

TBF So did Weghorst.

[Vegas Claret]

imagine the triangles - McNeil, Cornet, Muleka and Vydra

[Conroy92]

Muleka looks raw. Definite potential there. Out of him and Twine I'd rather have Twine though.

[Taffy on the wing]

Fast, tricky & he can use both feet........sign him up!

An MK dons fans page saying Twine is set to sign for us and said goodbye to players / staff today in training.

Might back up louieollie, unless that was his source.

[Swizzlestick]

Would there be any work permit issues as he's a Democratic Republic of the Congo national?

[Zlatan]

with 4 players it would be squares...

[Zlatan]

saw lots of crap defending... and repeats of the same goal a few times. I'm sure they speed up these videos to make the players look better than they are.

Don’t start work permit discussions again please!!!

Let’s have both!!!

[NewClaret]

[Firthy]

Certainly looking more promising now. If we can bring in players like Twine, Muleka, Ballard and Harwood Bellis alongside the experince players we have then it could be a good season.

[Taffy on the wing]

Please don't start the rectangle debate again.

Can we still afford rectangles?......what with the debt & all.

Not my source no but it's not important in the big scheme of things , I was given the heads up at around 1pm and wanted to spread the impending joy

Sorry what was the info you were given? I think I may have missed it?

[jedi_master]

Long, hard day in a sweltering office today in an all day meeting - get my first look on here at what’s cracking and we sound like we’re finally cooking on gas.

Exciting.

[RVclaret]

He said Twine is set for a medical with us after we agreed a fee with MK

[mybloodisclaret]

Thanks. I really hope that is true. Looks a really good quality young player him.

[DCWat]

If this proves to be true - it sound like a promising signing. Even if it takes him a while to adapt at a higher level (his numbers suggest it probably won’t) it sounds as though his dead balls are top notch! Having a free kick specialist will be a real bonus.

[Steddyman]

Is that you Brad?

He was involved in 33 goals last season, 20 goals 13 assists, he scored 6 free kicks all brilliant, he should be able to get at least 70% of that in the championship

[CrosspoolClarets]

Muleka got a hatful in Turkey almost a goal a game but that level even Weghorst could score at. Didn’t do as well in Belgium before going to Turkey.

Looks promising though as a player.

[ClaretAL]

Scott Twine obligatory YouTube

[RVclaret]

Tbh there’s no one reliable confirming the Twine stuff so could be rubbish.

[boatshed bill]

He's probably just stringing us along.
We can't afford to get roped into a bidding war.

[Lancasterclaret]

Getting carried away by one site saying we've signed him, and the the inevitable moaning that we've not done enough to get him would be peak Burnley transfer window

You know who you are as well, so crack on!

(I hope its true though!)

[Mattster]

What I like about the Ballard deal (assuming it comes off) is that we clearly had multiple centre back targets. We tried for McNally at around £1.5m and £1.75m but once the amounts reached £2m we must have thought/known we could get a Championship proven option in Ballard for that so moved on quickly.

Hopefully we have similar shortlists and move equally quickly for other positions if first choice options don't come off.

Ballard also plays defensive midfield

[Smile]

I hope it's not a case of never the Twine shall meet.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

If the Arteta / VK axis is in full flow I’d follow up Ballard with Omari Hutchinson. Some player that lad.

I just hope that our vast swathe of impatient fans give the new manager and new players time to gel. Given the meltdown of how long it took to announce Kompany and the "why haven't we signed anyone" posts I'm doubtful !

Very important we give them time, it's a complete rebuild !

[eastcoastclaret]

I find it interesting that we are suddenly being linked with all these players in their early 20s, but who did the scouting for them. Has the club always known about them or has it come from Kompany?

Were they on our radar but ignored by Dyche as potential signings
