Who the Hell is Will Lancaster?

People hang on the words of kids playing around on Twitter who’s media experience usually extends to tier lists on YouTube and Twitch.

[BurnleyMickSouth]

As the coppers normally say, "nothing to see here" move along now. i must have looked at this thread 60 times in the last 48 hrs, why do we do this to ourselves.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Newcastle have agreed a few with Lyon for Guimares. Big signing for them.

He writes for the Express, had an exclusive with AP recently and posts on here occasionally.

Anyway, I was just repeating what he’d said, which had foundation from Croatia and was credited as such, which is hopefully good news. I wasn’t hanging on anything.

He’s class but I’ve read the player needs convincing as Arsenal / Juve were both in for him.

Edit - scrap that Fabrizio just confirmed he’s accepted the move.

Big signing for them.

Apologies it wasn’t intended as a dig at you specifically, just seem to be a billion faceless individuals who act like they know what’s going on for perceived clout (BenWickes on here for one).

Twitter has made the subject of transfer news open season. If I created an account and posted that Burnley were in talks to sign Isaac Hayden (plucked from the air!), despite having 0 Followers and having never tweeted before, it would suddenly be all over the shop.

True, it is a hotbed of rubbish. But I’m not even sure the supposed trusted journo’s know what’s happening with our business. It seems we’re keeping things relatively tight. Or at least I hope that’s what we’re doing or there’s less going on than I’d hoped!

[NewClaret]

Is that Newcastle out of the Lingard “race” then?

[RVclaret]

No this fella is more a holding central midfielder. Lingard CAM.

[ClaretTony]

Will Lancaster, reporting Orsic keen on the move and happy to stay if we get relegated. Good news if true.

Also said we were the highest bidder for Azmoun but Leverkusen moved when we bid. He looked absolute quality. Pleased we’re at least attempting signings of this stature/ability.

Will has moved up in the world with some on this board after the criticism he received when he did a couple of articles on the site.

Hendrick to Burnley

Poor lad will feel lost in the Championship next season.

[RVclaret]

Dan Burn going to Newc for 10m from Brighton it seems. Tarkowski stays with us then…?

What swung it do you think?

[NewClaret]

Dan Burn going to Newc for 10m from Brighton it seems. Tarkowski stays with us then…?

I really like him.

Another good signing!

[jedi_master]

Hendrick to Burnley

I’d take him back on loan, all joking aside.

I know a lot wouldn’t.

[RVclaret]

Reporter in Zagreb:

Mislav Orsic said 'yes' to @BurnleyOfficial offer. As per our sources, @gnkdinamo is willing to let him go, but they want to be paid in full immediatly.

[Quickenthetempo]

Looks like Orsic has agreed to come and his club are happy to let him go.

As long as we pay the 7m up front.

[NewClaret]

Just do it Alan

Quick do a BACS transfer before Newcastle 'swoop-in'......

[Richardsbfc]

Quick do a BACS transfer before Newcastle 'swoop-in'......

Tickled me that ... The thought of saying ... 'Nice one, ill send it via a BACS payment. Whats your deets?' for £7m.

[jtv]

Was Guimares one of our targets as I have lost track?

[Lancasterclaret]

Was Guimares one of our targets as I have lost track?

Only with those who appear to think we can compete with Juventus and Newcastle I suspect

[Rileybobs]

I’ve read that we’re in talks to sign Isaac Hayden.

[RVclaret]

I’ve read that we’re in talks to sign Isaac Hayden.

Where? Can’t see it online anywhere

[Newcastleclaret93]

I’ve read that we’re in talks to sign Isaac Hayden.

I think he would suit us well

[jedi_master]

I’ve read that we’re in talks to sign Isaac Hayden.

Hahahaha

[Quickenthetempo]

Only with those who appear to think we can compete with Juventus and Newcastle I suspect

I don't think anyone expects to spend €40m on a player.

[jtv]

Only with those who appear to think we can compete with Juventus and Newcastle I suspect

Seems like not even La Vecchia Signora can compete with Newcastle nowadays!!!

[Pearcey]

I’ve read that we’re in talks to sign Isaac Hayden.

Do you mean Isaac Hunt?

[Stayingup]

Do you mean Isaac Hunt?

Or Isaac Newton?

[Lancasterclaret]

I’ve read that we’re in talks to sign Isaac Hayden.

Not the worst it has to be said

But he's got a long time left on a five year deal

(assuming you are being serious)

[jedi_master]

Lancaster - I point you to a post of mine further up this page for the answer as to whether it’s legitimate.

Sorry mate, as this thread is sadly so full of non transfer stuff I'm skimming it

[gawthorpe_view]

(assuming you are being serious)

Quick Google indicates he's out for 2 months following knee surgery, report dated 30th December 2021.

[minnieclaret]

Do you mean Isaac Hunt?

Or his brother Mike.

[Ightenclaret]

Or Isaac Newton?

Not old enough

[quoonbeatz]

Fair play to Brighton if they get 10m for Burn, he's junk.

[RVclaret]

Maybe I’m missing something but what’s funny about Isaac Hayden?

[jedi_master]

I posted the below further up this thread to exemplify how rumours start from nothing and how irritating it is that people just make stuff up and it gains traction. Even me saying the below in jest has proven the point true!

Ahh got it haha.

To be fair it depends where you look on twitter. Some very reliable journos on there.

[Lancasterclaret]

Yeah, those slagging twitter off clearly don't get how it works

If you block all the Burnley nut jobs (ie those who retweet every single rumour regardless) and follow actual journos then you tend to get the info as quick as anyone can do it

I draw the line at watching twitch with Fabio though!

[KateR]

So just to recap at this stage and for those moaning earlier about no links, I believe we've had some great rumours and much improved from many a year gone by. If nothing else we've moved outside the UK & Ireland, which for me was a welcome change, clearly it seems our European network has suddenly improved or maybe just be taken seriously under the new regime.

Just to add the majority I've never seen so going off others in terms of will they improve us:

Mislav Orsic
One in the news and many of us hopeful for even if we didn't really know him before the window open, looks promising and seems to be following the Cornet saga when it broke we were after him in the summer. Fingers crossed on this happening.

Bamba Dieng
The Marseilles man has been the latest name to be linked with a move to the Clarets. It's another player currently plying his trade in the French top flight, a market Burnley are looking to exploit after the success of Maxwel Cornet.

A 21-year-old striker, others linked but a young striker just what we need.

Jack Fitzwater
The defender is apparently on the radar of the Clarets and fellow strugglers Watford and not for our 1st team to help with getting out of the relegation issue we're in.

Armand Laurienté
The French midfielder has been linked with a move to the Clarets. The 23-year-old is under contract at Lorient at 2024 At least we have a choice of players that could fill a weak position for us. An attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, the French Under-21 international has four this season while he's also a free kick specialist.

Divock Origi
The Liverpool striker is into the final six months of his contract and reportedly has plenty of suitors. A player I like and would welcome but don't believe it will happen.

Christian Benteke
A striker with proven EPL experience but one I am not keen on and hopefully it will not be going anywhere, he himself doesn't seem keen, but if I remember right I heard I heard similar things attributed to Cornet in the summer.

Andy Carroll
A striker with proven EPL experience but one I could see on a short term agreement and definitely another that seems to fit the Dyche wish list but hopefully it will be an alternative last minute should others not happen

Serhou Guirassy
Another French forward, capable of performing the second striker role that Burnley are seeking, also touted it could be a loan, not likely from what I've read

Seko Fofana
Lens midfielder has appeared on the radar and his attributes fill the criteria for what Burnley want One I think quite a few would like to see happen, but seems a lot of talk with no traction.

Aaron Ramsey
Another one we know, I don't believe he would help at all and hoping it just another link that will go away.

Mason Holgate
Another we know, not what we need in my opinion and very doubtful there's anything in this.

Dan Neil
Young midfielder has caught the eye at Sunderland in league One this season and not one for this scrap we're in but perhaps one for the future.

Lyndon Dykes
Seems a few interested and more of our typical striker so can see why he would be linked

Joe Worrall
A player who has been linked with Burnley countless times in the past and not one we should be spending money on now unless it's with an eye to playing in a lower league soon. Don't expect anything from this

Nat Phillips
A long-term Burnley target who I would love to have but not sure he's needed unless something silly happens with Tark's, but I'd expect them to go for NP rather than Tark's at the silly price we are supposed to be asking right now.

Dael Fry
Another long-term Turf target with the Clarets but don't see it happening or that he's a requirement right now.

I'm sure I've missed a few and we can scratch a few off, but a running total of potentials for a few days might be helpful to keep track and look back on at the end.

I think if we had put this list up before the window opened we'd be happy, well most of us

[jedi_master]

I use Twitter plenty Lancaster (not for discussion of Burnley, bar following the usual's like Boden, Nixon etc) and see far too much of this happening. It's a great source of information but far too often descends into the old 'football-rumours.com' way of speculation (anyone remember that site being the scourge of Clarets Mad?).

[Whitgord]

Thanks Kr. A useful summary.

[Kazoo]

Why are Sky mentioning Ramsey and us in the same sentence again? I understood that Ramsey wasn't prepared to come here because he wanted to go to a club with "ambition" (source is, er, Sky).

[jedi_master]

I might be wrong but it feels more like our offer is just sat there, and he hasn't accepted it as he clearly (and understandably, really) expects to get a better offer from a bigger club.

Maybe if we get to 8pm on deadline day without another offer going his way....

[Lancasterclaret]

I think that if no one takes the risk, then we'd still have a chance with this one

He needs to play

[KRBFC]

Where's Ben Wickes and his fantasy land nonsense gone?
