If only it had been discussed on the transfer rumours thread.

Decent little piece on Tella by Dan James at Lancs Live:

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/t ... l-24730063

I think he could be an exciting addition.

Been discussing it since yesterday http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboar ... 4#p1881710

I personally don't see Cabral happening. I've seen a few reports out of Portugal saying that his agent is making the signing difficult.

I can imagine a club like Besiktas pays silly money in agents fee and we wont.

[Bordeauxclaret]

If we get a Pen and Tella is on the pitch then he’ll take it.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Here's the article for reference. Apparently he has five different agencies. (Apologies, it's Google translated so it's not perfect).

"According to information provided by the newspaper Record, Jovane Cabral has five agents who, with their particular requirements, make it difficult for the player to leave. It is recalled that the lion has been collaborating with the “Invictus Team”, the entity that transferred him, on loan, to Lazio, but maintains relations with other agencies such as Positionumber, Gestifute, Winner Sport Sarl and Mago Internacional Foot, the that makes it difficult for the Cape Verdean extreme to leave."

Nixon saying Rovers have jumped ahead of us for the Liverpool centre half

[joey13]

Blackburn in poll position for Van den Berg according to Nixon

[Barlickclaret]

Been discussing it since yesterday http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboar ... 4#p1881710

That's discussing it, this thread is fact.

[RVclaret]

Van den Berg going to Rovers.

Always thought it was an odd ish one for us given our abundance of centre backs.

They can probably offer more playing time?

[LowtonClaret]

Fruit Tella

[whiffa]

That's discussing it, this thread is fact.

Awkward now the thread's merged that...

[Wile E Coyote]

Signed on season loan, anybody know anything about him??

I have some stats on him, I will post them later today, It will be my lancashire evening Tella Graph.

[Enola Gay]

so between pages 139 and 140 KRBFC has said we've brought in 40, 60, 70 and 80 million

It's no wonder people (incorrectly imho) are calling you a troll when you can't even agree with yourself. Sort it out mate, you are better than this nonsense

He really isn’t.

[KRBFC]

He really isn’t.

Why are you trying to restart this and derail the topic?

Funny your post is liked by Goody, the one who cried about me derailing the topic yet hasn't called out your post here. Hypocrite

[KRBFC]

Nobody complaining about 2 pages of weak old men pun jokes?

[martin_p]

I think they’re (s)tella.

[ecc]

Give me strength.

[whiffa]

They were in a seperate thread that a MOD has obviously merged into this one. Not really much to complain about is there.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Tella joke and lighten the mood.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

I miss the days of endlessly arguing about whether Charlie Taylor and Josh Brownhill are good or not.

That was peak transfer rumours thread.

[DCWat]

From what I’ve seen so far, and it perhaps depends how far away from being first team ready McNally is, I think we are missing an aerially dominant centre half.

[ClaretAL]

Or we decided Hendry was better maybe.

Konrad not coming

Almost as crucial as a striker in my opinion.

We're a very small team and against a better side than Huddersfield/Luton it will be exposed I feel.

Good, wasn’t convinced by him at all

‘Understand Rangers' Fashion Sakala is set to stay at Ibrox.

Burnley were interested & willing to pay between £2-4m. Rangers value him higher.

It was Sakala or Tella, not both, so Burnley moved onto the Soton man.’

Sakala more than 4m? No thanks.

[ksrclaret]

I want that centre half from France (Metz?), ideally. Looks dominant.

Still need a number 9 as well after Tella.

It's good that club is being more ruthless in transfers, not waiting for just one player and having multiple options

Bizarre all round.

1 - The only similarity between the players is pace. Sakala is more of a striker and Tella a winger. Sakala has a good goals/assists to minutes ratio, Tella does not.
2 - Rangers wanting that much for a player they signed on a free and that is obviously no longer a key part of their manager's plans so will go down in value.

I do think the links to some players are just designed to encourage our main targets to make up their minds…

Good about time we were more aggressive with our approach, and if this means some players sitting on the fence have to make a swift decision great.

It sure beats sitting around all summer waiting for the likes of Dawson and Lansbury among others to string us along before signing new contracts or going elsewhere, i like this new decisive Burnley in the market, long may it continue.

We do seem a bit more savvy in this window compared to those previous.

I think you are exactly right there. I reckon Pace was pretty fed up about the whole Orsic situation, and has now designed and implemented this new transfer strategy.

Good, it's meant they've learnt from it and are now being proactive

[kaptin1]

I guess the difference with this window to others is that we are operating at a lower level so the number of potential players to choose from that can make a difference is greater. That gives us more options.

Exactly this. I don’t think there’s been some great awakening re our transfer strategy, we’ve just moved from being the club with the least to spend to one of the clubs with the most while at the same time shopping for cheaper players.

[burnleymik]

It's not a personal opinion, it's fact.

Rightly or wrongly, they are taking money to pay debt. Kompany has spoken about it more than once in his press conferences.

Whilst I don't want to get into the buyout, if a rumour comes up of us spending £12m on Zirkzee and offering a contract of £30k p/w for example, the likelihood of that happening is directly linked to the finances available at the club and inevitably becomes part of the discussion.

NO ALK DISCUSSION - you might stand a chance

No. It's opinion. None of us know the finances. You have no idea on the terms of how we are being paid for players, how we are paying for players, exact sums involved or where the money is going. It's your OPINION, that it's is being used to pay debt. We have threads about ALK debt, we have threads about other finances. It doesn't belong here on the "transfer rumours" thread. The clue is in the name. It's not rocket science. Yes, talking about possible fees for players etc is understandable, but then to start down the track of where the money is going and other spurious ideas isn;t needed on here. I imagine most people are just fed up of it and it's always from the same individuals.

That sounds ominous. IS this anything like the old Tevez saga?

[burnleymik]

Seems the Sakala deal isn't progressing. Good job, I can't ever imagine our fans trying to sing that chant!#

[elwaclaret]

I don’t think so, the issue around Tevez was that the agents ‘owned’ the player. It was supposed to be illegal, think the loophole was closed pretty sharpish after it became known.
