Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[Steddyman]

This was about McNally - it was on a separate thread but it looks like that thread has been merged with this one confusingly.

I had wondered why we were talking about transfers on this thread.

[Belgianclaret]

If we could get Lukebakio for 10M that would be great if you ask me.
Very talented forward IMO

[Terrier]

Arsenal fans on their main forum seem to think its a loan deal and are not very happy, think they are sick of loaning players out and think some should be sold!

[JohnDearyMe]

Here's the burning question, is he finally a replacement for John Deary ?

In his dreams!!

[Claretnick]

Is this a link or just wishful thinking on your part?
Read that Lazio are looking to buy him for €12m

[whiffa]

Confirmed on Twitter, McNally to Stoke on loan

I'm assuming this is Lokonga - last update I saw was a loan with an option/potential obligation to buy, but that might not be correct.

Arsenal star Albert Sambi Lokonga is set to sign for Burnley on loan after a breakthrough in talks

A full agreement is in place between the two clubs and the midfielder has made clear his desire to join the Premier League new boys.

The Clarets’ manager Vincent Kompany is key to the deal as Sambi Lokonga regards the Man City legend as his idol.

You've worded that very well Leisure

[KateR]

I can’t think of a midfielder (in our price range) that suits our style better than Lokonga

Treser was the other one I really wanted and still hopeful of but it's an outside chance that he'll come

Two totally different kinds of players. One is a winger/creative attacking player, the other is a passing robust central midfielder

[Woodleyclaret]

We allegedly bid £10m for Clarke at Sunderland that was knocked back maybe this would be enough for Tessor ?

[DCWat]

I’m assuming Tresser and Tessor are referring to Mike Trésor and not a different link (or links)

Mike Tresor of course, thought he was more an attacking midfielder rather than a winger, and would really strengthen our midfield along with Lokonga

[PremierLeagueClass]

What did Palace think of Lokonga? The little I’ve seen was not favourable to say the least.

[KateR]

he hardly played for CP, but a many said it was down to Roy becoming manager

[HahaYeah]

Vieira signed him but Hodgson left him out.

Technically, you got me there Claretnick

There is however a link with our gaffer. He's deffo worth 12M though

Good player but a still a bit lightweight if you ask me. Has all the capabilities but as yet not able to stamp his authority from CM

[BleedingClaret]

At 23 you’d be expecting him to be still getting physically stronger

Not much of an update that, Tony

Loan/Option to buy/Obligation to buy/Might not be correct

[AfloatinClaret]

Just heard that Man City have paid £78 million for a left/centre back; is that Charlie Taylor gone?

[JohnDearyMe]

Underwhelming is how a Palace fan that i work with described him. Hope he does better for us if he signs

[kaptin1]

Tosser

How would Southampton have described Tella before we signed him, probably underwhelming with 1 goal in 33

[IanMcL]

I think We get Luke McNally bakio at the end of the season.

[mkmel]

Don't give up the day job Ian

Okay Belgianclaret, let's see if the boss has him in his sights.

I don't know anything about him but 11 goals last season in Bundesliga is very good.

Is it ? How many goals did Weghorst score

Can’t say that I didn’t ask for that

[Guller Bull]

Been working all day so not sure if there is anything new in this? Lokonga

"The smell of fresh ink is in the air as Burnley reaches a full agreement with Arsenal for the loan signing of the exciting talent, Albert Sambi Lokonga."

Ah yes, the pleasant and very well known smell of fresh ink.

Oh that’s been wasted now
Would have been better used for Quilindschy Hartman

Sounds like he should be on Ravenclaw's Quidditch Team.

Does look a player lukebakio and a good buy at 12M , looks similar to in style to Isak in my opinion.

Looks like a hell of a player

Boey is in action now for Galatasaray v Zalgiris in the Champion league qualifierIts on TNT sports 1.Galatasaray currently 1-0 up and 3-2 on aggregate.

[123EasyasBFC]

The LB Hartman has unfollowed Kompany on instagram since yesterday

Peculiar

Probs been advised as the reporters of the article spotted he was following kompany, but to then unfollow makes it seem something it might not

[Goody1975]

Peculiar

My guess would be that it's been seen at the Turkish end and fans have put 2+2 together thinking it means he's after a move, better to unfollow than to keep batting away questions about it.

Why Turkish end? Hartman plays in Netherlands

[PaintYorkClaretnBlue]

Just put £100 on us getting in the top six at 33-1 and a top ten finish at 6-1. if Vincent Kompany and the board are thinking big so can we.

I got in early, had £80 on us finishing top half at 8/1 and £20 on us finishing top six at 66/1

[Andingle]

Genk lost on pens to Servette tonight in the Champions League qualifications.
So presume that's Tresor done with European football this season.

[Goody1975]

Apologies, was too late to edit.

Hoped you hadn't noticed.

[giveusaB]

Genk have just been knocked out of the champions league qualifiers.Did we have an interest in Tresor?

[ClaretFelix]

I did think that any deal would depend on their qualification and the chance to play in the Champions League. Might see some movement now??

[123EasyasBFC]

I agree with the idea though, fans clocked it and he’s been advised to unfollow
