Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[brexit]

Adnan Januzaj has been highlighted as a target to me by the most unreliable person I know (based I suspect on the fact he is Belgian) However, the name rings a bell have we had him on loan or trial at some point.

Konrad de la Fuente deal apparently close

But for which club?

[Vegas Claret]

Watford have signed Hamza Choudary on loan from Leicester - probably will go straight into their midfield given How poor they were on Monday.

he's a red card waiting to happen every game

[PremierLeagueClass]

Konrad de la Fuente deal apparently close

Where is that from?

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Everton and West Ham were chasing him a couple of weeks ago.

Fuentes another midget with only 25 games for Barca B and 16 for OM, according to wiki.
Hope I’m proved wrong but nothing to get excited about there.

[RVclaret]

Other reports from the Rangers end suggest no contact between Burnley and Rangers for Sakala

Good because he is a headless chicken. He can run fast but that’s it.

Doesn’t suggest there is no interest, the Scottish article says we are set to offer 3m.

[RVclaret]

Rangers fans think he’s pretty useless judging by comments

Sounds like the player feels he is being played out of position, and that may be why his performances are not as good as they could be.

[whiffa]

Not the kind of tweet you like to see about a rumoured player of interest. In VK we trust though if there's anything in it?

[Murger]

12 goals in 50 apps against Mickey Mouse opposition isn't a brilliant record.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Would appear he's played mainly on the flanks from what I can see, in an advanced position, maybe similar to Rashford and Welbeck used to be.
He's probably not going to score in huge numbers out there

The year is 2011. Burnley scouts are looking at a young lad called Ben Mee. “15 games for Leicester City in the championship? Nothing to get excited about.”

He doesn’t get signed.

The year is 2011. Burnley scouts are looking at a young lad called Danny Ings “27 games for Bournemouth in league 1/2 and 9 games for Dorchester town? Nothing to get excited about.”

He doesn’t get signed.

The year is 2022. One young scout says to his boss, “do you think we should use more than Wikipedia appearance stats to form opinions on new players?”

A different Portugease media outlet reporting we are trying to convince Cabral by offering 800k euros a year salary. That’s 15k euros a week, doesn’t seem that high to be honest.

Possible that 15k a week net, after tax, as that’s how European players/clubs usually work on wages. So around 25-30k a week gross.

[BurnleyFC]

Although I know nothing much of De La Fuente, he must have a good pedigree to have been at Barcelona and then Marseille.

[ClaretAndJew]

Sarr to Leeds looking likely.

[KefkaClaret]

Sakala is very mediocre from the few rangers games I've seen.

[Steddyman]

Adnan Januzaj has been highlighted as a target to me by the most unreliable person I know (based I suspect on the fact he is Belgian) However, the name rings a bell have we had him on loan or trial at some point.

He is a free agent and was featured by Sky Sports this morning on twitter in the best of 11 free agents:

https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/ ... HiITnLuvPQ

Also, just seen Leeds are on the verge of signing Sarr from Watford. Hopefully they complete it before Friday and we get a striker lined up before they start looking for a replacement:

Muric will sleep easier on Thursday.

[warksclaret]

The more names I hear mentioned as potential forwards to recruit, the more confused I am getting at the type of player we are looking to lead our line. A number have been more "wingers" in style for their current clubs. Others have a poor goal scoring records, and as seems common with a number , they have gone out on loan shortly after having been given a contract-not sure how to view that.However the more I think about it, the more I think that young Delap would be ideal. He is quick, has an eye for goal, and is an obvious star of the future which is why City are keeping him. I know Stoke are keen, but thats gone quiet ,and they have a stronger forward line than us, meaning potentially less game time. VK needs to get the 3 City players we have to get Delap to push for a move to us

[123EasyasBFC]

After the weekend Kompany said he was hopeful for signings this week and that there were many deals that were close and there’s lots of people wanting to come to Burnley.

So it must be sorting fees and instalments and wage structures that’s holding things up

[Shaggy]

Sakala is very mediocre from the few rangers games I've seen.

He’s not even that. Bambi on ice. Very quick but he does nothing.

Now if we were after Morelos that’s a different story. El buffalo would love the championship

This would be a massive boost. Presumably he doesn’t play if it’s as close as suggested.

Dennis & Pedro still big threats but no denying that Sarr has scored & created their goals so far.

Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié from Barca about to be free agents……. Cheekie bids/signing on fees

Alexis sanchez official at Marseille, that will mean Konrad will no doubt be sorted in next couple of days where ever he ends up

The search for a striker and not borrowing a very good one, would suggest we are after recruiting young players we can sell on for profit. Rather than to build a successful team.

Hopefully both happen together.

Would we have signed Ian Maatsen on loan if true?

[Quickenthetempo]

Why not?
There's strong talk of us having an agreement to buy him if we wish.

But I think it's 2 loan signings out of 10?

[Goody1975]

Like I've just said on the League Cup thread, we have ten games coming up in thirty six days, the thought that signing a wide man means we aren't actively looking at central strikers has to be a nonsense.

This season could be just as much about survival of the fittest as much as the best side being the most successful. IMO, we will be bringing in at least five more players and that will include another striker. The work that has been done so far in a limited amount of time has to give the majority of us confidence that we will be more than competitive when the lads turn up to training on Friday 2nd September.

Christensen just signed the other month for Barca didn't he?

Pretty sure they released an atrocious signing on video that people were saying was toss and using one of ours as an example of how to do it properly

I don't think we are particularly looking for a striker to lead the line. We appear to be looking for players who can play off or around the 2 we already have in that mould.

[Stayingup]

Wasn’t he Man Utd’s future once?

Thats right he was said to be the next best thing. But wasn't.

I might have missed that, then. Difficult to keep up with the pace of activities. It was very tongue in cheek though to begin with

I’ve gotta say, it’s refreshing not going for the trusted old pro’s, and my football knowledge probably isn’t what it was since I stopped playing footy manager, but I’ve literally never heard of a single player we’ve signed this window!
