Summer 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[barracuda]

It's obscene, I'm not just sick of the Saudis, i'm sick of the whole set up.
This influx of big investment into certain big city clubs ruins the concept of a "football league".

Well yeah then. I agree with that. Better if they fecked off into that 'other' league - regardless of where the owners are from. Makes it pointless for the rest

[Newcastleclaret93]

Nah sorry that’s rubbish. The account that made it up in the first place is Brad Jones Journo, which is a complete fraud account. Nixon might not be right all the time but he’s a damn sight better than using a fake twitter account, let’s be real.

I’m not sure he’s been particular accurate this summer, would suggest maybe his links are not there (or not as strong anymore).

He said we wanted 40m for Pope (yet sold him for a quarter of that value).

I would suggest there’s not been a bid for twine as it appears the Hull owner is very confident he’s going to them.

[Cleveleys_claret]

My information is direct from the club in question not a tabloid .......I know which I personally believe.

So you have contacts at MK Don's and Hull...how convenient

[ksrclaret]

I'm always blown away by just how many posters on this board have contacts with such a variety professional football clubs.

Is House of Saud money any more dirty than US money? (or lack of it - some US football club owners have to borrow). Don't see any difference personally. A broader debate eh.

Dirt accusations should be thrown at those trying to eek money out of the game for personal gain. It happens sadly

If you want to question the Saudi record on gay rights, women's rights and other freedoms - then fill your boots imo. But why is the money dirty - at least its cash

For all we know, Saudi funds might be invested in ALK. The secrecy/confidentiality that comes with these investment funds undermines an understanding of who the real, beneficial owners of some football clubs actually are, when transparency is needed. Though whilst Saudi money might be ‘clean’ in that it’s lawfully obtained, I think the differences between the Saudi and US regimes are more significant that the similarities.

He may be bob on saying that we wanted 40 million. Wanting and getting are two very different things.

[gawthorpe_view]

Wow, just wow!!!

I know it's silly season, but Danny Drinkwater !!!

The 40 million was purely put out there to get hits.

[boatshed bill]

Trouble is, someone like Cahill has just left… as in Ben Mee

That was just about the daftest article I've ever seen.
Cahill? Vossen? Come on, it's pure fiction.

If Pope's worth £10m, then how much are Pickford, Ramsdale and Hendeson worth? About the same?

[KRBFC]

I'm always blown away by just how many posters on this board have contacts with such a variety professional football clubs.

So many pretend in the knowers, they're always wrong too but doesn't stop them from keep pretending. At least that BenWickes clown had enough, from his ''Phil Jones has signed for us already'' to the ''we're gonna smash our transfer record 2x in January''. Pace came out and said we didn't even plan to add during January, made Ben look an absolute fool.

[Bullabill]

I'm sitting here thinking (yes it hurts) and I haven't seen this put forward before - is it possible that transfer deals could be facilitated by payments between owners? A player many think is worth, say, 20 million is transferred for 10 million by the normal means plus a 10 million deal on the side between owners. The selling club's player is sold for the 20 million but 10 million of that goes into the owner's pocket.

[Vegas Claret]

not Burnley related but apparently Sadio Mania has DOUBLED his wages by going to Bayern.

Hello Ben...

[RVclaret]

Let’s just think about that

Nixon broke

Harwood Bellis - looks a matter of time till he signs
Bellamy assistant - all but confirmed
Muric - time will tell
McNally - this has been backed up by the athletic and Irish sun
Wallace - backed up by the report yesterday saying we were in for him and he chose west Brom
Gabriel - athletic also suggested there’s an interest
Twine - time will tell, it’s a newer one

I’d say that’s a pretty impressive amount of rumours with a high accuracy rate so far.

Just because he said we valued Pope at 40m, so what, we may have said that, doesn’t mean you get near that figure.

And your comment on us not getting twine because the Hull owner is confident - you also said it was unlikely we’d get Kompany because a Le Soir article said he’d met with Nice, so I’ll actually take it as a positive that you have drawn that conclusion, as you have a pretty good track record of it being being wrong

* btw not saying Nixon is the gospel but he’s not say he’s not been accurate this summer is a lie

Random blokes who post on here that their mate has seen a player down at Gawthorpe have more credence than HITC

It wouldn’t be that difficult if you were friends with an agent or a player who shared the same agent. You get told all sorts when you’re in those circles

[eastcoastclaret]

Something on twitter this morning from a random account, that we have agreed to sell Cornet to a premier league club.

I’m not sure that would go down to well when the accounts were released he’s within his rights as owner to do it anyway so no need to hide it until the accounts highlight it

[Paddy1882]

Probs David Dunn when moving from Birmingham to Bolton and then doing his medical, John Williams (?) At Bastards allowed it to go ahead then nipped in once Bolton had paid for it and David Dunn went back there, uncomfy phone call to Big Sam but a yearater ended up being his boss anyway

That’s the badger, knew I’d heard it somewhere.

[Loyal Supporter]

I wonder how many people on this site are friends with professional footballers agents?

How sad must you be to want to put your time and energy into creating fake twitter accounts to spread false rumours?

[Smile]

You can tell the Jones twitter fella has started to believe his own guff. He's done it for so long now, that he feels like a minor celebrity with his 250 followers.

Yesterday it was found out the creator of the account is actually the ‘talk BFC’ instagram page. Basically a group of teenage Burnley fans.

I'd be surprised. I know Chris who runs Talk BFC. He doesn't seem the sort who would do that as he already has his YouTube channel which is growing.

TalkBFC did a post but from the screenshot you could see they were logged into BradJonesJourno twitter account. Search the twitterclarets tag and you’ll see it from yesterday.

Just seen it. Weird.

Not really sure why he needs to do that with a very well followed social media site either!

I've done some searching and what happens is 'Brad Jones' tweets that something is happening - yet it's after 30-40+ accounts have mentioned the same thing minutes / a few hours before.

If it comes true and actually materialises, 'he' then retweets, quoting his original tweet claiming that he got it right and that he was the first to break the news - it's funny, but in a facepalm way.

Sounds very similar to the method used by certain by a football forum owner!

[Milltown1882]

1000000000% false. The clubs themselves don’t get the fixtures till 8am on the release day then they’re embargoed till 9am.

I stand corrected!

[RVclaret]

So with the fixtures showing a tough start on paper, does that give even more urgency to get players in asap?

I'd hope we have at least 3 in by the end of next week.

The sooner the better, Kompany needs to implement his style

Jed Wallace has officially signed for West Brom

Another one bites the dust....
We all need to wake up and smell the coffee..... Nothing has or will change. Same sh*t different transfer window.... look like we are trying and don't get anything done

[RVclaret]

4 year deal. I wonder at 28, if we weren’t prepared to go with 4.

[kenyon6923]

does anyone think Pace had a conversation with VK between the Sunday (when we lost at Norwich) and the following Thursday when SD was sacked ?
We just seem to be 2 steps behind at the moment and with the early start of pre season and the actual season and our 3 best players leaving were certainly playing catch up in playing staff and backroom staff. Was SD potted with no thought/talks on the succession plan at all ?

[daveisaclaret]

Never seen Jed Wallace play but I notice in WBA's announcement video he looks about 40. Glad we've not signed him on that basis.

[Swizzlestick]

Quite right too tbh.

I would be surprised if were weren’t. 32 is probably the age we would want to shift him on.

Or, we’ve decided that giving a hefty four year contract to Wallace, with a sizeable signing on fee, and with little to no resale value at the end of those four years, is not how we want to do things.

Let’s see what the next 4-5 weeks brings, eh?!

[NewClaret]

I honestly just don’t think there was ever an interest. Nixon was saying we were still in the race yesterday while he was presumably filming his welcome video!

I definitely want a lot of these links to be true but I’m just not sure they are. Just really want the Twine one to be accurate now.

Disappointed about Wallace, think he’d have been a good signing. Hope we have better options up our sleeve. Or just options actually

Agree with this. However effective Wallace may have been for Millwall, the whole point is to move away from these big contacts for players in their late twenties.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I don’t get this view?

A signing like Wallace is as low risk as they come. Proven championship top player over numerous seasons.
No transfer fee.

Yes he might want decent wages but if he gets us promoted it’s worth it.

You can’t sign 10 x twenty year olds that have done very little in there careers and expect promotion.

It’s not the end of the world losing Wallace to a promotion rival but saying we shouldnt do it because it’s a four year contract is just nonsense
