Good stuff.

Loving the speed of business from us at the moment. The pieces are coming together.

This one has been left until today given he was now out of contract at Man City

Assume that this means Nathan Collins is intent on leaving?
I hope not

Welcome young man and here’s to a successful clarets career..

I really like this signing

Any idea on how much compensation we've paid?

We'll see on Collins, but at least if he does go we will be prepared and not scrambling around for a replacement at the 11th hour.

This lad has pedigree.

Welcome to Burnley CJ

Burnley express suggest 350k rising to 750k dependant on performance etc.

Very happy with this signing.

Seems a snip. Not expecting him to be thrown straight into the team but exactly the kind of future-planning where we have been neglectful in the past.

In a couple of years people will be moaning about the 30% sell on fee

Not sure why you should think that.

A few hundred grand but I suspect City will have done what they did with Kieran Trippier & Ben Mee, allowed a low figure but with a huge sell on percentage.

I’ll make a prediction based on nothing here - this will be the signing that Burnley make the most money on in the future.

Won't do them much good with Mee now!

Great name too!

No, but they made a bit more on Tripps.

30% sell on.

Certainly reducing the average age of the squad big time

We lost two defenders (Mee and Tarky) and now we've brought in two defenders. Nothing to do with Collins.

I'm going to have to sit down & have a cup of tea.
Not used to us signing so many players so quickly.

Indeed. I haven't been as excited since Paul France and Ian Bray arrived in such quick succession.

Harwood-Bellis is undergoing a medical today and signing on loan though.

So that would be 2 out 3 in. Though Egan-Riley also plays RB.

That’s what is being reported by Peter O’Rouke

Morning CJ!

We didn't get where we are today by leaving signings till September.

Welcome CJ, we aren't messing around this summer.

Welcome to Burnley. Over 60 years of following the Clarets and to hear my name read out over the tannoy is a dream come true. My good lifetime friend, Brian( Benny) is probably just as excited to be hearing his name read out, too. Hope it's worth the wait, Brian.

A good few are reporting a Friday medical this is just one of them https://www.footballinsider247.com/medi ... s-sources/

I've given up trying to understand how some posters' minds work.

If you're VK, a very intelligent man who had very clearly been working on transfers weeks (months?) before signing the contract, and who just happened to play CB, would you not try your utmost on having NC as you rock in central defence? Forget his age. He was by and large very good for a 20-year-old in the PL playing with different partners and most of the time alongside another right-sided CB.

I am certain VK will have spent a lot of time talking to NC, selling him his vision. I most certainly will buy a season more with Nathan with an agreement that he can leave - for the right price - next season if we don't go up or even if we do but he's offered a move to a "big" club.

Obviously if we get offered stupid money for the lad, we'd take it.

We need four CBs. We've now got three if NC stays. I don't know whether Bobby Thomas could be the fourth CB. I think we need an experienced, solid Championship CB. A bit like John McGreal but younger.

Triffic

Looks a good signing. I’m finding it hard to get used to this transfer window. Deadline day could be really boring!

Upto now, this has got to be the best signing of the window .
Superb player & I can’t believe how cheap we’ve got him for.

Collins
McNally
Egan-Riley
Taylor Harwood-Bellis due to soon be joining for the season.

Long as 5th choice? And then Thomas as a possible 6th choice.

One for the future

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Collins and Long start the first game, give the new lads time

Another excellent signing

Fantastic signing, seems a really level headed young man as well just like Kompany, dare we say exciting times ?

Really good interview that, had to check he was actually 19. Clearly knows his stuff and what he's here for. Impressive.

Interesting the first word he used to describe himself as a player as well was ‘intelligent’.

I can't keep up

It'll be like watching Barnsley at the beginning of the season. Hope we playing in Claret.

Reading an article earlier in the week and City fans commenting are surprised Pep has sold him as they all saw him as Kyle Walker's natural replacement.
One person commented he would rather we bought THB and loaned CJ instead.
Sounds like a player.

I don't remember Paul France. I do remember Gary France.

Burnley announced this as a four year deal this morning, they’ve now changed it to three years. You would hope the club might have got that right.

I’ll go and change it now on here.
