Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[ClaretInLeeds]

Suspect favorites to go, probably some on loan are:
Bastian
Churlinov
McNally
Egan Riley
Dodson



Possibles
JBG-based on our signings
Cork
Muric
Rodriguez

I think we will keep Twine until the Jan window then possibly loan him out too, depending on game time he enjoyed in the first half of season. The wages if nothing else need to be reduced

I would hope that JBG, Jay and Muric are well in contention next season.

[ClaretInLeeds]

Bastien has apparently turned down a loan move to Kortrijk - surprised to be honest, he didn't really get game time in the Championship.

Think it all depends on signing at least one other CM. If we do, Bastien won’t get a look in - injuries aside.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Crazy stuff - can all the stories today be true?

Lokonga I think we can confirm is true.

Palmer - unsure

French lad - unsure

Boey - unsure

[ClaretTony]

Just checked back. He started seven league games for us last season which included the first four. His only start after the Sheff U away game was against West Brom in January.

[ClaretInLeeds]

Only Cullen, Cork and Brownhill in front of him - thankfully most of the time, 2 of the 3 were available when we needed them.

Palmer - unsure

Boey - unsure

Probably a busy week leading up to the game against Mainz.

Not dismissing the home game against City, but the free week due to the postponed Luton match will be vital to integrate any new signings.

Pretty sure they're all legit bearing in mind the sources for the reports

Lokonga looks a done deal

City yet to decide about Palmer

french lad sounds like a goer

Not getting Boey for 10 million

Boey 10 million plus Weghorst will be the deal

Weghorst will stay imo

I read somewhere, might have been on here, that his dream was to play in the premier league. This is probably his only chance and maybe it will harm his longer term career but if that’s the case then good for him.

From what we've seen from him so far, he isnt good enough to play in the Premier League

[Guller Bull]

Just been having a look at a youtube of Lokonga and he looks exactly what we need if we can get the best out of him.

Robust, speed of thought, good burst of speed and a real eye for a pass.

[Guller Bull]

Closer to a deal.

[KRBFC]

The right back from Galatasaray looks a fabulous player to me. Fast, athletic, skilful and strong. Really hope there is some truth to the link/bid for him.

No chance we will get him imo.

Quoting Sacha Tavolieri from earlier today

[ClaretTony]

I read somewhere, might have been on here, that his dream was to play in the premier league. This is probably his only chance and maybe it will harm his longer term career but if that’s the case then good for him.

But with the number of players we have, he might find himself not getting one of the squad places. Unless some leave, that is going to happen.

[Jakubs Tash]

Yes, you only have to look at his limited game time last year at a lower level and then how many minutes he has played in this seasons pre-season (none?) to see where he is in the pecking order. VK has even played defenders in midfield before him this pre-season.

His dream might very well be to play in the PL but it won’t happen this season with us I don’t think.

[TheFamilyCat]

But with the number of players we have, he might find himself not getting one of the squad places. Unless some leave, that is going to happen.

I was going to post something similar. You'd think VK would have given him a good idea of whether he's likely to be in the squad.

It was from Sacha Tavolieri I think that said he'd been offered on loan to Kortrijk to get some first team football. I've no idea which players will struggle to get game time next season but you would imagine he's likely to be one of them.

It's my long term dream to play in the Premier League and then get married to Margot Robbie

I'm 48 and already married

Bid in for Wilson Odobert, 18 year old striker.

Reading the article it says the bid has been accepted.

I see Troyes are part of the City Group, which may or may not be relevant...

....and ugly with little or no cash.

[Bobzuruncle]

I tend to agree with the consensus that the chances of him playing next year are slim but right now he is contracted to a premier league team and that is the best chance he has of fulfilling his dream (if what I think I read is correct ) so to that I say good on you, you never know you know !

[LongsideClaret]

Odobert visited Gawthorpe about a month ago along with his agent. Believe the club were showing him around and detailing the plan for how we would use him and improve him. Apparently their were a lot of clubs in for him and he went away to make a decision.

[Vegas Claret]

it's a good job we go way back

[Carwin261]

We’ve come a long way since having a whip round for Malcolm Smith.

There’s a couple of accounts on twitter (not with many followers at all) running with a story that Burnley want to sign 19 year old striker from Argentina called alejo veliz for 5mil
Probably absolutely nothing in it at all

That would be interesting. Not sure how he would stand for international clearance.

Hadn’t checked release clauses or anything but yes you would think it’s probably a load of rubbish, just thought it was worth posting on here to see if anyone knew out

Brighton have got 2 or 3 young wide players from South America similar age who didn’t struggle

there's more than a few posts about it, these are the type of signings that Brighton pull out of the bag. Hopefully it's true.

Looks to have originated from a fake Fabrizio Romano account.

Haven’t a clue if there is anything in it, but didn’t the rules changes this year for Prem clubs allowing them to sign up to 3 players a year who wouldn’t normally qualify for work permits, so we should be covered from that perspective.

[rob63]

No chance we will get him imo.

Maybe one for a future window?

[123EasyasBFC]

Sometimes links like this are almost that random to not have some sort of truth to them

[roperclaret]

Not necessarily. Clubs often accept lower bids if they need the money and the cash is up front

It’s absolute bullshit, which started with a fake account. One of the other accounts peddling it is someone pretending to be a Burnley fan by using a former poster on here’s photo.

Ueda from Cercle Brugge to Feyenoord for €10m (£8,58m).

This would have been a good deal for us, not as high a fee as I thought

[fidelcastro]

Had John Stones before last season?

It's not a full-on CM role, which is why I think it can work.
They don't need the ball playing skills of a proper midfielder, because they are essentially just an extra body who advances through the phases, but without anyone properly tracking them.
And their skill lies mainly in helping break down the opposition counter early, and keeping the pressure high.
I dont know if Beyer could do it.
But he certainly possesses the attributes to make it possible

Yep. We'll stick weghorst in goal while we're at it.

[fatboy47]

This idea that circulates (only amongst Burnley fans) about the existence of footballers who could become proficient in more than once position on a football field is utterly ludicrous.
Posts that persist in promoting this farcical notion should be instantly removed lest the forum becomes a laughing stock amongst the broader football community.
