Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[burnley007]

What I hope will happen:

Tresor
Daka
Phillips
Maatsen

What I think will happen:

Tresor
Origi
A CM not yet reported on
Gomez

either of those would be fabulous

[Raconteur]

Brentford are owned by the richest man in Denmark, pretty sure that their main board members are wadded as well.

I thought Brentford was owned by Matthew Benham ( has a net worth of around 300 mil - 400 mil USD)

He has in fact just sold his Danish club to the richest man in Denmark - Anders Holch Povlsen.

[mdd2]

Have to ship a few out for that lot

[Pearcey]

SSN reporting Luton looking like they’re going to be only club interested in taking Lokonga and will be making a loan bid in the coming hours.

Wonder if he’s now regretting giving us the run around.

Maybe he’s happier in London.

[Firthy]

looks like Firthy did as well

Just checked and you're right it was O'Nien but Neil is probably is probably the same

[yatesybase]

Haven't posted for a long, long time, but constantly view UTC, but had to log in to reply to this.

It was me that started the Flight Tracking back when Grosicki was on the verge of signing for us. However, the tracking of his flight only helped as he'd posted a photo on Twitter of himself stood next to the plane he was travelling on at the airport (can't remember which one specifically) in Poland. So it was just a case of locating the plane's number shown in the photo, on FlightTracker to be able to track it

Can you post the picture ?

[DingleDangle]

Nothing against it at all, its all part of the fun of transfer deadline day, I'd not have a clue where to look

It certainly is fun, although it does help if there's a photo of the player next to the plane at the airport, but unfortunately I don't think any other players really do it.

I think Grosicki was probably over excited at the time and so posted the photo.........but that eventually as we know fell flat. Made me chuckle when one of the Claretsmadders at the time reported looking out of the window in Norfolk and thought he could see the plane and when the plane disappeared off the radar near Manchester Airport and the conspiracy theories of what could have happened to it were starting to emerge

[Woodleyclaret]

Grosicki had more debts than the UK
An serious gambler who had chronic issues with gambling

[claretcarrot93]

Still no left back links yet, be longing for the days of the battle of Stephen Jordan and Brian Easton.

[Anthonini]

I touted him as a VK signing at the start of the window and as someone I rate. Stalled a bit in recent years but that might be down to injury maybe. I’m sure our Belgian poster will be able to offer more on that one.

Yep awesome player that just needs minutes to grow. Stopped by a few injuries. Made his debut at 16 as a central defender but he's actually a defensive midfielder with great technical skills. Comparable to Lokonga but more defensive minded. Soon as he really breaks through I'm counting on VK wanting to bring him home.

His progress stagnated a bit due to injuries and due to the Danish not really wanting to use youth players. Otherwise they wouldn't loan him out.

[ClaretAndJew]

Everton are apparently looking at bringing in Ashley Westwood.

Iwobi off to Fulham.

[aggi]

Do loan to buy options mean you can write off part of the fee to get around FFP?

I think, not 100%, loan to buy transfers don't get counted in your allowed number of loans for the season.

[Anthonini]

Maybe he’s happier in London.

He's an idiot for not coming to Burnley. Say it as it is. His brother and manager is a bit of a loose cannon though. Halfway Balotelli. Wouldn't be surprised if he's the one coming up with crazy demands and overestimating the player. Not caring about what's actually best for him. What's Sambi going to do at Luton? Crystal palace was a dumb choice as well.

Luton would be a properly bizarre move for him.

[Vegas Claret]

Burnley are close to signing 17-year-old St Mirren centre-back Murray Campbell, who has attracted interest from multiple Premier League clubs.

[claret2018]

Everton are apparently looking at bringing in Ashley Westwood.

FFS Sean!

[DingleDangle]

Think I'd have go back about 5-6 years worth of his Twitter posts to find it

[Vegas Claret]

James McAtee gone back to Sheff Utd on loan, they've made some good signings imho

[Murger]

Dyche really doesn’t do himself any favours.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Everton are apparently looking at bringing in Ashley Westwood.

Iwobi off to Fulham.

That would be absolute peak Dyche.

Might as well get Hendrick too while he's at it

[CoolClaret]

Still no left back links yet, be longing for the days of the battle of Stephen Jordan and Brian Easton.

Bit disrespectful to lump Stephen Jordan in with Brian Easton ngl.

Jordan was good for us, the less said about Easton the better.

[Anthonini]

I was hoping for Zeno Debast now that his move to PSV is becoming unlikely. Propper technical defender with great vision. Could play with any top team on the ball. Defensively he can still improve. Would be a great asset and someone who can grow with us to the top. Seems to be a good moment to pick him up below his actual value.

[andyh]

Iwobi off to Fulham.

If this is true I reckon Sean is looking to force them to sack him. Lennon to return to Everton and a bid for Brentford’s Mee to follow.

[Sleeping Cat]

What I hope will happen:

Tresor
Daka
Phillips
Maatsen

What I think will happen:

Tresor
Origi
A CM not yet reported on
Gomez

What do we actually need? For me

Left Back
Striker

I would take Tresor because he looks a decent acquisition, first team ready, but we do already have a lot of wingers. The focus should be on strengthening weaker positions than adding to positions where there's good strength in depth. I'd be getting annoyed if I was Zaroury or Benson.

[Steddyman]

I thought the comment about Westwood was a (good) joke. It would be hilarious if true.

We need to stop trying to deal with Sunderland. They clearly hate us and double the prices whenever we come near.

[123EasyasBFC]

| William Balikwisha to the Premier League?

The Burnley club would be interested in the 24-year-old midfielder. Standard de Liège asks 6 to 8 million euros to release him.

( Het Belang van Limburg )

[andyh]

Not sure we NEED a striker. Foster has set off well. We have numerous other attacking players who play or can play as a 10. J Rod probably only going to get a handful of starts as it is. LB is a different matter. Not a single player and back up options look poor. (Assuming VK thinks Charlie can’t adapt)

[LongsideClaret]

Lots of fluidity in the deals today, all situations moving and changing very fast. We have 4 medicals booked for today but I think that is a best case scenario.

Expecting to use at least a couple of them and sounds like Tresors is happening now.

I suspect the loan limit will mean we are chopping and changing on different deals. If Origi and/or Daka end up falling through we could move for someone else very quickly.

[LaLigaClaret]

What is happening with Tresor ? Is he on his way by plane or not ? Nothing yet on LB's which absolutely ridiculous. Are we trying a loan for Gomes as you would think our Man City links would have brought us something useful. What happened with Reggie Cannon the Right Back who was supposed to be joining. Lokonga situation is laughable as he will take the Luton deal even if they only pay him half what he wanted as there is nothing else for him. Absolute joke he never accepted our offer.

[yatesybase]

The question is: which airport is Origi flying in to - East Midlands or Manchester??

Due into Manchester at 1442 from Milan on Air X Challenger 800 Tail No 9H-JOY if you have Flight Radar 24

Anthonini recommended him the other day I think

[123EasyasBFC]

Anthonini recommended him the other day I think

There’s 2 there’s this lad who is an attacking mid and then there’s his younger brother at Antwerp who’s more of a forward

[Vegas Claret]

usually on transfer deadline day I'd only half pay attention, I woke up at 3 am and thought 'I wonder if we've signed anyone', couldn't go back to sleep so got up. Weirdo

Do you think origi and Daka fall through?

If Reggie Cannon is a free agent can he sign after the window shuts or is that just EFL

I agree with you. I think we only need a left back and a striker. But we don't seem to be stopping at what we need

[Anthonini]

Anthonini recommended him the other day I think

This guy is getting better and better. Great runs on the ball good dribbling. Played excellent Vs AEK.

[Tricky Trevor]

Chelsea now just £7.2m short of having spent £1bn on transfers since Boehly took over. That’s just three transfer windows!

I would love it if all those players on 7,8 & 9 year deals decided to just see out their contracts.

[distortiondave]

We can't be signing players called Billy BollockWasher and expect to be taken seriously.

[Anthonini]

Oh no it's his younger brother. My bad.

Daka looks to be going to AC Milan now

Bonkers

[dermotdermot]

Maybe he’s happier in London.

Luton isn’t in London.

Luton isn’t in London.

It’s a big plane for 1 player!! The plane is then going to Cagliari

[GetIntoEm]

Maatsen in on loan. Be done in next 3 hours

[JimmyRobbo]

Set to win the race for Murray Cambell. I know nothing about him except he is young, wirey and was targeted by a few clubs.

https://twitter.com/footyinsider247/sta ... 6731101642

[RVclaret]

Had thought we still had a chance on Maatsen but I guess GetIntoEm has ruled that out now

[ClaretAndJew]

Maatsen in on loan. Be done in next 3 hours

And when this doesn't happen?
