6 month deal and the option of a further 12 months.
He is 30 in 3 weeks isn't that the retirement age for players according to this site ?

How long is it since he played? And didn’t he have an iffy injury record before that?
That is one high risk move with his fitness levels likely to be well below PL standards, I would say.
I want youth with pace and hunger.

I agree that little chance of signing Eriksen given Denmark links to Brentford and in the area where he lived, but fitness wise we tend to keep our games tight so even 15 minutes could see that key pass unlock a defence to win a game, we simply need a player to make that pass. At present we don't have one good enough. Dwight and JBG don’t get enough assists, Westwood neither.

We were fine supposedly bidding for the Rolls Royce (Aaron Ramsey), which we wanted everyone to now about despite not affording a fifth of his wage, but when the VW Golf GTI comes along, with good history, we dont get involved

Re: January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion
Played over 300 games for Spurs in 7 years and 60 for Inter Milan in a year and a half before his Cardiac arrest so would say his injury record wasn't bad at all until then. He hasn't played since the Euro's but has been training apparently. Given we are absolutely desperate for reinforcements and in that area too I think he'd be a superb signing- On his day he's not far off a world class player- It's worth the (low) risk in my opinion.

Regardless of that, selling Wood for £25m now is good business. We would never have an opportunity to recoup money on him at that level again.

Mentioned this about three weeks ago. Surely with his ability, it's a no-brainer to bring him in on a short term, low cost contract. After all, it's him who said he's desperately looking for a chance to prove his fitness back in the PL.

Been supporting the club for nearly 60 years and heard millions or rumours, stories who the club was going to buy, I could not tell you the person that leaked any of them, including this one. As a fan when stories gain mass momentum you take them seriously.

I’m not so convinced we were not already looking to bring in another forward, this just makes it even more urgent and I’m hoping they’ve been working on this and having conversations for the last couple of months, not just since the window reopened. But we’ll seeBabylonClaret wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 11:42 pmTwo chances of that happening. *
We might get one to go in but three? In January? I'd expected maybe midfielder plus perhaps a couple of up and coming to push for places next season.
Wood leaving complicates the situation but forwards cost more money and it's unlikely we can squeeze one in at short notice without ut being short term (a la Carroll) or loan (would be a surprise) or a huge gamble (expensive big fish in small pond type who a) could be a huge flop a la Vydra or b) unlikely to come )
Get prepared for disappointment- Newcastle have massively ****** over our window because we have to spend half of the ti e chasing a forward as well as our other possible contracts.

Perhaps rather than hope for a saviour to emerge in this window we need to employ the players we have more effectively. If SD gives a little and experiments with new ideas we might yet escape without a huge outlay.

Re: January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion
For instance Brownhill had a decent goal scoring record before he came to us but playing him the way we do that’s just completely dried up. Dwight McNeil should be a much more prolific scorer than he is, getting him into the box more would I think pay dividends. Playing Mee Tarkowski and Collins would I fancy bring dividends from set pieces. Somehow we have become a side who only sees goals coming from forwards.

Re: January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion
The reason that Brentford have so many Danish players is that Matthew Benham, the owner of Brentford, also owns FC Midtjylland - the top Danish club.
That gives Brentford a huge advantage in terms of transfers for Danish players and transfers in general. Thanks to Brexit we can no longer shop in the lower tiers of Europe. Which happens to be where a lot of the bargains are.
However, FC Midtjylland can sign players from any league in Europe. They join up, get the rubber stamp for being in a top league European club, which makes it a lot easier for them to get a UK WP. Looking back at the Summer window Brentford signed Frank Onyeka from FC Midtjylland for £9m. He was a good fit for Brentford, good player, and more importantly he put a lot of cash into the coffers of FC Midtjylland that can be used to sign future players who will gravitate to Brentford.
Clubs that have European partner clubs, like Brentford, Man City, Leicester and others have been given a huge benefit over other UK clubs thanks to Brexit. They can operate freely in the European transfer market while everyone else has their hands tied behind their backs.
In respect to Danish players, Brentford can also function as a retirement home, because they can send Danish players the other way - like they did with Dalsgaard in the last window.
Trading between multiple clubs owned by the same person or organisation should not be allowed, but unfortunately it is.

While money is also part of the equation, we can't throw it around like Newcastle (who are in the same boat as us in the relegation battle), so those who are expecting us to be signing the likes of Origi or even Eriksen might want to rein in their expectations.Christian Benteke is expected to stay at Crystal Palace.
The striker has no interest in leaving this month - especially not to a team fighting relegation - and is happy at Selhurst Park, Sky Sports News has been told.

Re: January 2022 Burnley Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion
Brexit changed the way that Work Permits are allocated. Prior to Brexit we could sign any player from any country in the EEC regardless of what league they were in. So we could sign players from the second or third leagues in France and Germany for example.
After Brexit the way that Work Permits were allocated, in terms of the qualification criteria, changed. Those changes make it very difficult to sign any players from the lower leagues in Europe because the players have little chance of meeting the point tally required to get a WP. However, it does make it slightly easier to sign players from the top leagues in other parts of the world, like South America.
Signing Cornet was straight forward, because he came from the top league in France and he plays for his country. So no problems with a WP at all.
Loosing access to the lower leagues of Europe, and all of the cheap hidden gems in those leagues, makes recruitment a lot more difficult. Not that we seemed to be looking at those clubs while Rigg was devastating our club. However, the change does make recruiting players for bargain prices, in the case of recruitment by clubs that don't have a lot to spend ( like clubs in the Championship and us ) immeasurably more difficult than it used to be.
The annoying thing is that this was all very predictable and why it was imperative that we did business a few windows ago, in anticipation of this change - when we didn't.

It shouldn't put on a precarious footing if we spend wisely on younger players who can only improve, not on mercenaries like Benteke and Carroll. blimey! we've already got 3 strikers over 30 in the building who can't hit a cows backside with a banjo, we certainly don't need another one.

Now using money from Wood to finance this would be a fantastic bit of business, As I said on another post Collins will be able to give the management an appraisal of him (maybe even have a word if they are friends). His value in time could increase but I guess if this has legs it needs to move quickly for Stoke to reinvest for a promotion push

For me Collins plays in our next match, whenever that eventually takes place, as countless posters have mentioned at least he'll be here next season, whereas Tarkowski doesn't give a monkey's as he's too busy lining up his next move.

I have no argument with Tarks, even though he has thrown a few into the net, but if you have seen stats that rate Wood at anything above 6 per game this season you need to look elsewhere for your stats. He has been appalling and I don’t go withall this nonsense about lack of supply.

Back to the subject... According to Stoke press we are after Campbell

Seems they are just regurgitating the Sunday Mirror link posted before from what I can see. Few comments from Stoke fans recently that they are pretty tight with FFP at the min so might be tempted to sell, albeit suggesting at £15m+.Backofthenet wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 5:29 pmBack to the subject...

Too many people writing off players. They’ve all proved themselves at this level but some of the elasticity has gone out of the mindset. I fancy many have become numbed by always being on the back foot. The framework is getting worn and threadbare at some point SD just has to let the players start enjoying football again. Week by week grind eventually wears players out, saps their confidence and motivation. That’s where young players provide the fire and enthusiasm and can reenergise the side.

It doesn’t but what it will demonstrate is that the service to him has improved, if he does suddenly start to improve it should be a good indicator of where we are going wrong, same player & different team, we are only well rid when/if a better replacement arrives.bobinho wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 2:42 pmOther than his goals keeping Newcastle up at our expense, there’s absolutely nothing to suggest if that happens for them it would’ve happened for us.
His attitude and effort levels have been shocking for some time, and his comments about “comfort zone” should tell us all we need to know about his inability to motivate himself.
We are well rid….

Genuine question, how many players from these lower European leagues are currently playing in the Premeir League or the Championship?Long Time Lurker wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 3:03 pm
Loosing access to the lower leagues of Europe, and all of the cheap hidden gems in those leagues, makes recruitment a lot more difficult. Not that we seemed to be looking at those clubs while Rigg was devastating our club. However, the change does make recruiting players for bargain prices, in the case of recruitment by clubs that don't have a lot to spend ( like clubs in the Championship and us ) immeasurably more difficult than it used to be.

Sorry if mentioned, but just seen on twitter that Bowen at WHU has a 20 million release clause in the summer!!
