Marquee signings..?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Despite Alto's protestations, we all know Burnley Football Club will not be making any "big money" marquee signings anytime soon.

Word coming into my earpiece however, is that we are trying to bring in a couple of good value "out of left field" players to add to an already experienced and strong group of players.

..and the news is that it is happening soon! B)

[In Dyche We Trust]

Charlie Adam fits the bill- he is British and over 30- Gareth Barry anyone?

[sinkov]

Sounds good BT, and I certainly don't expect 'marquee' signings. Let's face it, we'd all like to see a solid, reliable, experienced PL centre-half replacing Keane, even me although I have no worries about Tarko, one who could hold our defence together and ensure PL survival. But if such a player was available, although we might be able to afford the transfer fee, he wouldn't sign for us, he'd be snapped up by a club with a bigger wage budget than ours. So I don't worry about it.

[Norder]

.....all this talk of PL experience is very pleasing on the ear - I guess you can learn a lot from the bench, which it seems, is where it'd be sat if hadn't come Burnley.

On the field passing the ball around...all very neat and leisurly - until they come up against some quick thinking rocket with a pal or two to connect with....and before they know it - What just happened ?

but don't worry....am sure there'll be plenty of PL crap we can compete with again.

I don't think it's protesting Bt just realism, for me anyway I'd be looking for signings like the lad from Norwich who went to Newcastle ,Murphy I think he's called, clucas from Hull players with flair and some longevity in them.

I'm not sure everyone will be pleased if we get relegated again , the chance is here and now and they need to back Dyche and gamble a bit ( not the lot - I'm not going all out ).

Realistically Keane s money isn't even spent and last years money that was left and then the money for staying up as well , when you look at it like that it doesn't make sense does it?

We're signing I'm sure decent players but not what I would call for the future.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I am certain the boat will be pushed out and floated very soon but with caution and prudence, it's the Burnley way you know?

Does that mean potentially he could be a target Bt

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I believe so! O:)

[army88]

I think this would be a shrewd piece of business , because not only does he fit the criteria I mentioned
He's also someone I think Dyche would admire with his work ethic and approach to the game .
Hope it happens , best bit of business we'd do.

[sinkov]

I believe so! O:)

That picture's got me beat, who he ?

[Altobelli]

That picture's got me beat, who he ?

I was thinking the same Sinkov, its not Clucas is it ?

Whoever it is does it really matter with BT's statement of "Despite Alto's protestations, we all know Burnley Football Club will not be making any "big money" marquee signings anytime soon".


With the money we have earned and given by the FA to make us stronger to compete in this League I find it negative and pathetic (whatever excuses BFC come out with) that one or two "marquee" signings will not be signed.

[sinkov]

Just googled Clucas Alto and I think you're right, must be him, or his twin brother.

[oldcolner]

Is Clucas really a marquee signing. :?

Played with Darikwa at chesterfield and left for Hull for 1.5M in 2015. Played 81 games scored 9.
Current value 2.13M

Promising yes marquee no.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Valued at TEN ££££££million, NUFC are after him!:O

[oldcolner]

Valued at TEN ££££££million, NUFC are after him!:O

Who by? Not Transfermarkt. Not a marquee may be a tent!

The English midfielder bagged his first-ever Premier League goal with the opener in the Tigers' 3-1 defeat at Leicester on the weekend.

It means the 26-year-old has now scored in five different divisions in five consecutive seasons - each higher than the last, culminating with his top-flight strike on Saturday.

Newcastle have ruled out making a move for Hull midfielder Sam Clucas, according to a reliable journalist.

The Magpies have been heavily linked with a move for the 26-year-old this summer, with the Sun claiming that the club were set to make a £4million offer.

Oldcolner , give us a name then that would be marquee that's fall within our budgets, in reality for us I think a marquee signing would be 20 million plus and I can't see us doing that.

I'd take Clucas as marquee I think for now--- from what I've seen of him he's a good acquisition.

I agree he's a good acquisition and at £4m a great buy, but he's not a household name or crowd drawer in the way say Barton was.
I'm happy not to have a marquee signing, and to grow our own or buy good value experience but others on this thread were and to suggest Clucas is one is stretching credibility.
Cork and Walters are nearer the mark for me.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

All I have said is that Clucas is about as near to a marquee signing as we are about to get and I for one am really happy about that.

Billy Big Bollox Syndrome is the last thing we need in our squad! :(

Cork and Walters are nearer a marquee for me. However I would be very happy to get Clucas for £4M, £10M less so!
Hull seem to having a car boot sale.

We should try and benefit (and quickly!) by buying Clucas on the cheap. Assem Allam the Hull owner is allegedly having a fire sale to try and recoup some of his reported £120 million outlay.

[In Dyche We Trust]

Cork and Walters are far from marquee signings- Oxlade - Chamberlain would be a marquee signing.......and the nearest he will get to Turf Moor is the away team dressing room.

[Altobelli]

Clucus would be a step in the right direction, and for me a snip at £4M.

Also Hughes who we supposedly was after a while ago would also be nice.

Midfielders we seem to have a few now, so maybe we would benefit from a winger and a goal scorer and not forgetting a CB.

What about Markovic who they had on loan - he looked the real deal and surplus to requirements at Liverpool as a marquee signing .

Clucas at 4-6 million is good business I think.

[Altobelli]

Don't know much about Markovic Army.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Hmmmm? Nice signing would Markovic be!

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I know we don't do "exotic" but I would love to have this lad here from Hull, Uruguayan international Abel Hernandez...

5651

[army88]

Don't know much about Markovic Army.

Look him up Alto he's a very nice footballer

Great balance and poise ---- pace and glides past people with ease , picks a pass as well.

Also scores a few ---- this for me anyway would be a marquee signing.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Me too!

[Altobelli]

Looks good Army, only 23 and can play right or left wing and second striker, would we dare to splash the cash ?

Does Sean really not do foreigners ? Hopefully he does plus D64 might get a full game in the season ahead.

What's that for ? a P!ss up for Garlick and all the Directors all on Premier League money ?

[thedonz]

Ward in today's telegraph saying more signings expected. He made the point that they have to be the right ones so they don't upset the dressing room spirit.
He gave the example of his old team Wolves who made the mistake, after staying up their first season , of bringing in players on much larger wages . He blames this on their subsequent relegation from the Premier League.

I suppose it's a case of being careful what you wish for.

[sinkov]

I don't think we need to worry on that score, whatever mistakes we might make, that won't be one of them.

..and that's gotta be right!

[thedonz]

The club are doing very nicely with signings , but wouldn't it be good to capture someone who really whets the appetite.

Who was the last signing that did that for you?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Charlie Austin.

[sinkov]

Probably Ian Wright, we don't sign many players who can put bums on seats.

Aye Stan did well getting Ian Wright to Burnley :star:

[The Bedlington Terrier]

The trouble now sinkov is that the likes of Wrighty now have one final payday in the MLS or China.

I just cannot see us doing what Wardy guards us against and that is blowing the squad apart with a big money, big wages signing.

True enough BT, times have changed, Rooney has 'dropped down' to Everton, but even that's a one off, you can't imagine any of today's players of Wright's stature dropping down the divisions just for the fun of it.
I agree on the wages, it's why we won't be making a marquee signing, we won't pay the wages, and quite right too, we have a budget, one that our finances can cope with, and we stick to it. And if that means we're eventually relegated that's fine by me, I'd rather we were a going concern in the Championship than follow the likes of Blackburn, Bolton and Blackpool down the Leagues.

Half an hour after posting that I've just remembered John Terry has signed for Aston Villa, and I can't imagine he's done it for the money. Ah well.

[oldcolner]

If Sam Clucas is on our wanted list it's gone awfully quiet on the jungle drums except for Newcastle saying they aren't interested. Last time we were mentioned was July 4 but Hull said a day later they had had no bids for him.
Maybe it's just his agent stirring things up.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

He was mentioned in despatches recently at Turf Moor, I think we are in the "should we move forward on this one" stage.

We now have a full quorum who need to be in complete agreement on new acquisitions before we sign anybody and surely that is how it should be?

Got to totally disagree with you there BT, If you sit on your hands in this cut and thrust environment you will miss out, and boy do we miss out.

[CaspertheClaret]

Who have we missed out on? - That's not a sarcy comment by the way - just interested on who the names are.

Assombalonga apart who I wasn't that arsed about anyway.

We need a goal scorer, a creative midfielder, a tricky winger, a 3rd choice Keeper and a replacement for Keane who we have had enough time to replace yet haven't, hence sitting on your hands gets you nothing.

Are we waiting for the Sale bargain signs to go up after season starts?

[CaspertheClaret]

I see what you are saying now Alto. I thought you meant we had actually been in for a few who had gone elsewhere.

No we do need a few in, in the positions that everyone knows.

I am delighted with Jack C, and Taylor - great signings which are team ready

Happy with Walters and Bardsley as squaddies.

Would like us to part with Andre and Defour for good money and think we definitely need something different up front.

However the names I see that are realistic and being signed by other clubs are not filling me with envy.

Still believe there is rabbits coming out of toppers soon!

But then I usually am a 3/4 full chap.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Got to totally disagree with you there BT, If you sit on your hands in this cut and thrust environment you will miss out, and boy do we miss out.

I am not at all certain we have missed out on any targeted players. We have a third goalkeeper identified, we still have Defour and Gray on our books so no panic there. The Recruitment Team communicate every hour on the hour and they are definitely not sitting on their hands.

If you get the chance to come to Burnley, I will do my utmost to get you one hour on the inside with Dave Baldwin. You will then be able to see first hand just how much work, thought and intelligence is going on behind the scenes at Turf Moor.

I am sure a visit and inspection will remove all doubt that our management team are sitting on their hands. :P

[sinkov]

I still think it quite possible that Defour and Gray might be holding things up, if they go there's extra cash to spend and more freedom on the wages side. But the window is open for another month yet, anything could happen and who knows whether they're staying or going, probably neither players nor club, they're all waiting on events. And in the meantime this uncertainty creates a log jam.

No log jam at Turf Moor, by my estimate we have about a spare £100 million to chuck at it! It's where to chuck it because at present the only two inbounds we really need is another keeper to replace Robinson and a like for like for Boyd.

Before anyone asks, Tarkowski replaced Keane and Anderson presently replaces Tarkowski! :D

I think it might be causing a problem with the wage budget BT, that's our problem, keeping within that. Gray and Defour will be at the top end on wages, if they go it makes a difference to what we can offer incomings, and gives us more scope. If they stay then we might have less to offer others, but as it is, we just don't know. It's a balancing act, but we don't know who might be on the scales and who isn't at the moment.

I agree with you that we have no problem on the transfer fees, we could easily afford a couple of marquees, but we won't pay the wages they would demand.

[Altobelli]

Just seen that Huddersfield's Narky Wells has not gone to Austria for their pre season tour, I do hope we are not interested.

[Primitive]

I'd rather we got Wells than Oumar ****ing Niasse.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

What's your gripe with Niasse Prim?

[Altobelli]

He rates him higher than Gray, which is fine as its his choice, but he's probably having a dig at me in his natural way BT.

[Primitive]

Not a dig at anyone, paranoia seems to be creeping in. I rate Niasse much, much lower than Gray, in fact I don't rate him at all.

If we did sign him however (god forbid), he'd have my full support.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I really do not know on what to judge him on. The former Everton manager who now runs the Belgian national side thought he was worth an outlay of close on £20 million. Koeman seems to have taken a dislike but Niasse looked better than OK at Hull.

I dunno!

[Altobelli]

No paranoia here lad, but I can count and you've had a sideways dig on 3 different threads in as many days now, I'm sure you'd be more at home on facebook or better still Up the Clarets.

I'll call you anything that I feel refers to you because of the way you portray yourself when you post and have detailed dialogue with someone, the latter being a very rare occurrence though unless it seems to suit you.

Without trawling through threads again, your short lol without any meaningful debate makes me think you are a lad, you may not be but its not my fault you sound like one with other negative comments to folks posts without any real room for discussion(s) most of the time.

And when you do have one with someone that person actually told you "nothing more than putting words in my mouth", or words to that effect, which reminds me of what I told you a while ago, you like splitting hairs to try and win an argument/debate, you seem to not like to be wrong, and like I said on that thread, it takes a man to admit he's wrong, and that you are not lad.

Another quote aimed at you by another poster that comes to mind is "You're getting boring now Prim, you've lost this one, find someone else to have a trivial argument with". so its not just me who thinks you leave a lot to be desired.

Call me sensitive if it suits you, and I shouldn't have to remind you, but I will, this is a message board used for opinions, followed by agreement or disagreement, That then becomes a discussion. posters who abuse the opinion with one liners, lol's or stretching the truth to make them look like they are right remind me of inept der brains on Facebook and CM.

Others will not say it to you on here, but I'll say it as I feel it, I will not suppress my feelings about you or anyone else in this Forum to keep the peace or to gain friendship or favouritism, Me and Donz have had rucks previously on this site, but we have resolved our differences and come a long way since.

You come across as having no sentiment or compassion for other posters views, you have an aggressive tone and the way you sound in your posts is that Primitive is always right which gets up a lot of folks noses not just mine, I still remember your arrogant quote when your prediction came true after last season "My job is done here" without any humour and certainly devoid of being Humble.

Until you lose your infantile posts without room for debate, admit when you are wrong and can debate other posters views without trashing them and agree to disagree with a bit of fun added maybe, then I'll treat you as you come across, with distain.

I'm not going to sink to your level and reply with a load of personal stuff, when I'm arguing with someone I attack the post not the poster. But I have tried to debate with you before and when you're challenged with questions you can't answer you seem to take offence, shut down the discussion and resort to personal comments.

I'm more than happy to admit I'm wrong and have done on numerous occasions. You seem to be projecting your own failing in this respect on to me, we're still waiting for you to admit you were wrong last summer when you said we would be relegated and we don't deserve to be a PL club. In fact, I seem to recall that you categorically stated that should we stay up, you would eat humble pie and here you are again with your negative slating of the best board we've had for years.

You've said on numerous occasions that you're going to ignore me, please do so if I upset you so much. I won't ignore your passive aggressive comments posted towards me.

Indeed not, following in the model of Leeds, Bradford, Blackpool, Portsmouth, et al, let's be thankful that the Burnley board continue to show more sense and restraint; we all want to continue watching Premiership football at Turf Moor, but not at the risk of jeapordising the club's long term future .

Burnley dont need to spend BIG....have no need to spend 50 million on a striker etc....and I dont know anyone who thinks we should - we're obviously not out to compete with the "few" top end sides that wallow in the rarefied air....but if we're seriously thinking of making a go of it - then there's plenty of lower end teams that we Do need to match, that won't mean emptying the bank....but does mean - we should bring in players of known Quality to fill the areas "where it matters most" - therefore have to think outside of that...past it's sell by - dads army - cheap end of the get us by with everything crossed....mentality.

As "I" see it....most of the PL teams aren't so far away from todays top end Championship level....so that also means that we need to compete with the newly promoted....otherwise - we're sunk before we start - or will spend the season struggling for air .
Sure - We...don't know it all, in fact is likely we know very little....so can only run with what make most sense to us Individually, as at the end of the day...buck stops with those who make the decisions - those Truly in the know....and so we can leave it at that...say nothing, go with it...so far that every signing we make is seen as a move of tactical genius.
Some will have such belief....but sadly, i'm one that doesn't, because unlike other teams that aren't so restricted...Burnley are more so controlled by a not so fat pocket of the dosh....meaning another uneven result is that our great minds are Not going to run as fluidly as others - therefore their calculated figuring needs to work overtime, as will always be playing catch-up - therefore to reinforce the weak points...(as far as the competition goes) to a competent level...if we don't dig deeper.....we dont compete - as will most likely mean - regardless of who we bring to the team, and however good they seem, we'll still remain....scratching at an incompetent level.
Only time will tell I guess....but should we loosen the strings a little - yes it's a hard one, but for me, if i'm to care at all, I say yes...it'll free us up to play more football

Hi & Cheers.

[CaspertheClaret]

I don't know how much truth there is in the Smalling rumour but I would be delighted with that if it came off.

Dont know what happened last season, whether Mourihno knocked his confidence but the season before last he was superb. Very much a Dyche type team player - this excites me and at 27 is very much that desired prime time experienced player we need!

[sinkov]

I'd love us to sign Smalling, he does remind me a little bit of Leon Cort occasionally, which does worry me slightly, but really he's a million times better. As for our chances, I'd say somewhere between none and zero. If there is anything at all in the story at the moment, there won't be after the first discussion on wages between our recruitment team and his agent.

Don't forget this is Skybet, the bookies that had Sean Dyche long odds-on favourite for the Palace job. And there's absolutely nothing significant about his price being cut, we've sold a striker, we're probably in the market for a replacement and we've got more cash than we can spend. It'd be a strange bookie that didn't cut the odds in those circumstances. With Gray gone it's obviously more likely now that we might sign Ings than it was yesterday, but it means nothing more than that.

Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross is reportedly the subject of an ambitious bid by Burnley to replace Michael Keane.

The Clarets are set to bid £10million for the Stoke captain, who has been with the club since 2007 after a switch from Manchester United.

The Sun says Sean Dyche has targeted the 30-year-old central defender to fill the void left by Michael Keane.

I can honestly say that, in recent years (so this doesn't include thugs like Norman Hunter and Johnny Giles) Shawcross is the dirtiest player I've seen. I really hope that Dyche doesn't stoop so low.

[In Dyche We Trust]

Crazy in August- Well he fits the bill, plays for Stoke, is 30+ years old and is dirt cheap.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Sam Clucas will be arriving soon. (As previously predicted).

I suspect Shane Long will also be added soon.

I just cannot see us spunking £10 million on Shawcross unless we need to reduce the Corporation Tax bill!

[CaspertheClaret]

Ings loan
Welbeck being spouted elsewhere.

[In Dyche We Trust]

dont believe that either Clucas or Long will add anything to our squad tbh. How many Longs do we need? Clucas is far from a steller marquiess signing.

Cant see Shawcross as a SD player but then I thought that about Barton....

Reports claim that Hull City have rejected a £5million from Burnley for midfielder Sam Clucas.

Clucas moved to the KCOM Stadium from Chesterfield in the summer of 2015 and signed a three-year deal with the Tigers.

The 26-year-old was part of the side that gained promotion to the Premier League in 2015-16, scoring six goals from 44 Championship appearances for the Yorkshire outfit.

https://www.clubcall.com/burnley/clarets-knocked-back-in-clucas-pursuit-1859230.html

Sky say the same and he is valued at £10M by ?? Hull presumably so how about £7.5M!

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is hoping to sign French defender Nicolas Isimat-Mirin from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.

http://sportslens.com/burnley-want-to-sign-psv-eindhoven-defender-isimat-mirin/214269/

[oldcolner]

Leeds United may need to move quickly to offer striker Chris Wood a bumper pay rise and new contract to see off interest from Premier League clubs after it was claimed he earns just £8,000 per week.

Wood netted 30 goals in all competitions for the Whites last term and his goalscoring exploits have not gone unnoticed in the top flight.

[oldcolner]

Alto
I don't know but suspect several routes and probably none of them from Sean or Burnley!
Though the old Nixon Coyle link used to leak, .. maybe for some incentives.

Sometimes we may just ask a club if a player is available or to name a price and that's showing interest if the press get hold of it either by the selling club or the player or his agent even though we might terminate our quest then. They want to push the price up. E.g. Assombolonga

I think agenats are behind a few in the hope it alerts us to someone wanting a move and PL experience.
Sometimes a selling club needs to get rid and suggests a few clubs with money e.g. Chadli and Burnley Newcastle and Swansea Sometimes a journo needs to have a story and makes a story up. There are a lot of "this striker or centre half is ideal for Burnley" knowing we sold Gray and Keane. Or the odds on Long going to Burnley have shortened.

Transfermarkt rates rumours for players though how I don't know. It's all good fun. It does seem like we are starting to ask and even seriously consider some in Europe. Though maybe it's still a rumour;D

Andone pulling his groin area or not and not playing v Real Madrid and now

Abdul Majeed Waris from Lorient

A move for Waris makes sense since he would come at a much reduced rate than Andone
The Ghana forward joined Lorient in 2015 and has scored 19 goals in 51 league appearances so far.
The 25-year-old has made 22 international appearances for Ghana, and is also on Sean Dyche’s list of targets.
Burnley would need a work permit for Waris.

Burnley are on the verge of securing the services of Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia, reports Sky Sports, via Football Italia

Ranocchia spent the second half of last season on loan at Hull but could not help prevent the Tigers from relegation back down to the Championship.

The 29-year-old is deemed surplus to requirements by new Inter head coach Luciano Spalletti despite the fact Jeison Murillo could follow Gary Medel out the club this summer.

[sinkov]

Could be alright as back up, but seems to be on the slide. Appointed Inter captain at the start of the 14/15 season, yet 18 months later loaned out to Sampdoria, a year later he's loaned out to Hull. Certainly not one for the future.
