Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[superdimitri]

If we had someone like Tony Bloom we would also have big assets. Brighton have been able to do what we haven't and taken risks because they have a sugar daddy that can mop up the debt if needed.

Remember the season we both got promoted? They had borrowed so much to get in the promotion fight that they were sure to flop into ffp if they didn't get promoted.

Similar story to other clubs like Leeds and Aston Villa. These kinds clubs are in a different league to us with spending power despite having a worse track record in recent years.

It's only really because Brighton have underachieved so much that we tend to finish near them. They should be too ten by now with the money they've invested.

Snippets from this mornings gossip

Palace, Leeds and Newcastle waiting to hear on whether Connor Gallagher will be allowed to go out on loan
Newcastle also looking at Choudray and Barkley plus, of course, Willock
Brighton to bid for Edouard (Celtic)

Nobody else seems to be linked with Albrighton or Maitland-Niles

Christie still at Celtic

[claretonthecoast1882]

Yes because only facts are in the gossip

[minnieclaret]

So now you are having a pop at somebody for posting transfer rumours on a transfers rumour thread.

Please, please go away.

Come on matey, have a word with yourself.

I think Christie would be an interesting option for us. Not sure he would play behind the striker but could possibly be a good option on the right

The world loses more manners every day.

Clearly you had a go at someone who was just posting gossip (per thread title) and you got called out on it.

Better to shut up (imho).

Macca you nearly fell for it again, remember do not engage.
Remember mother always said if you've nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Hope those contributing to the thread correctly continue to do so, it's good for a quick nip and see what's happening.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Gibson bought 15m, sold 7m
Hendrick bought 10m, sold 0
Brady bought 12m, sold 0

It hasn't effected us, providing you survive in the league, you're good. They got very very good value out of Propper, same as we did with Hendrick regardless of if they left on free transfers. Every club has dud signings, they have spent more than us but they've also got a squad worth more than ours if they need to sell.

Oh come on though. 65m down the pan?
You quoted our most expensive signings ever, and even that was 30m lost. Those are just Brighton’s departures this window and not even their biggest signings

[MACCA]

We didnt pay 15m for Gibson, and we got more than 7m for him.

We probably broke even on him in the end.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

What do you mean not much gained? What have we gained that they haven't? Surely the objective for both clubs is to just survive? they have achieved that, like us. As for wasted money, you're completely forgetting the players they've bought aren't suddenly worth nothing, they have over £150m in players to sell.

We finished 7th...

Let me know when they finish top 10

[RVclaret]

Brighton ready to bid £20m for Eduard from Celtic as they search for a goal scorer…

Thought they already signed an Argentinian striker for £25m recently - jeez Potter surely HAS to deliver this year.

Surprised they're looking at Barkley.

Sheffield Wednesday used to be good.

[randomclaret2]

How about Barkley on loan for us ?

[jackmiggins]

Interesting transfer rumours only please - 99.9% of us have NO interest in Brighton
Just wish you clique posters would create your own forum

[GodIsADeeJay81]

For half the season maybe, that's about all he's good for.

[ŽižkovClaret]

For half the season maybe, that's about all he's good for.

If he was any cop, surely Villa would be keen. The fact they seem not to be, speaks volumes imo

[GodIsADeeJay81]

21 yrs since they fell out the PL...

Nico Gonzalez went to Fiorentina in the end. Shame really, he's another striker that is great up until it comes to actually putting it in the net so would have been funny to see them go through another season of missing 99% of the chances they create.

Only problem with that stance is this thread would fall off the first page and only be updated once every week when Nixon posts on a Sunday morning that things are 'difficult'.

[Zom Zom]

Please take it from me, there is one

I was referring to my own view. There appears to be one among some of us though, you're right.

[Grumps]

So be it, if they are the only rumours.... Plenty of other threads people can go on to bicker, or post about other matters

Every club has dud signings, they have spent more than us but they've also got a squad worth more than ours if they need to sell.

I'm pretty confident (99.9%) we didn't spend anything close to 15 million on Gibson, a considerable amount of that fee was add on's none of which were met, it wouldn't surprise me if we broke even in terms of transfer fee

[KRBFC]

We finished 7th...

Let me know when they finish top 10

You don't win a trophy for finishing 7th though, more prize money sure. If we qualified for the Europa League, I'd agree with you.

[KRBFC]

my point wasn't to make a comparison on the numbers, my point was we got great value out of Hendrick regardless of if he left on a free, providing we stay in the division and don't run up debts, it's fine to invest and staying in the division has to be deemed successful investment on the whole.

[boatshed bill]

21 yrs since they fell out the PL...

History is history wether it was made last year or 21 years ago.
Next season, and what Burnley FC achieves in it, is all that matters now.

And as I have said before, pointing out the perceived failings of others does nothing to improve our situation.
Stop looking at Brighton!!

[NewClaret]

Not sure what this board has more of a complex about, Brighton, Palace or Gibson

I've just seen Palaces 3rd kit and I think they'll edge it...

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Utd are apparently willing to let Phil Jones leave for free

[Woodleyclaret]

Please no Phil Jones to Burnley threads

[NewClaret]

Utd are apparently willing to let Phil Jones leave for free

Noooooooooooooooo

[warksclaret]

Utd are apparently willing to let Phil Jones leave for free

I bet they are

[Dodobdobodobo]

If Jones is fit he’d be a great back up signing.

[DCWat]

I don’t know what his fitness / time available for selection is like these days, but let’s not forget that last season we had Long and Dunne playing for us at the back, on occasion.

I’d have Jones in as a decent back up option ahead of those two any day of the week.

[burnley007]

Jones is potentially a TOP level defender. But is he capable of playing every week?

[Rileybobs]

I thought Phil Jones definitely signed for us last summer?

[ecc]

Jones hasn't played a PL game since our match at OT when we won. Two PL games in the last two seasons.

[Dark Cloud]

Jones hasn't played a PL game since our match at OT when we won. Two PL games in the last two seasons.

Similar to Brady then. Maybe we could do a swap deal!!! ( )




Yes, I know Brady is out of contract!!!

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Jones hasn't played a PL game since our match at OT when we won. Two PL games in the last two seasons.

In his defence, he wasn't even given a squad place for most of last season, if not all of it

[cblantfanclub]

Where's DanielJWaterhouse when you need him ?

[Blyclaret]

Get rid of Long and replace with Jones as 4 th choice.

[Blyclaret]

Long was is and never will be premier standard.

[ksrclaret]

I could see Phil Jones doing a job in right midfield for us. It's only a short distance to the touchline where he could take on fluids after chuntering from our 18 yard box to the halfway line and back a few times.

He's just what we're looking for in a wide man.

I'd prefer him as left back.....left back where he is !

[milkcrate_mosh]

I'd imagine with the contract he's on United would have to literally pay someone to take Jones.

[ksrclaret]

Nixon suggesting we’re really struggling to get a wide player in and Dyche is “simmering” and will soon be “growling”.

I imagine Garlick is chuckling at this point.
