Transfer thread for July/August 2022...

[The Bedlington Terrier]

It's not the window we need to be worrying about, it's the upcoming league games, with the season being condensed, we have to complete a quarter of our league programmme by September 17, which date is just over two months away, and no one, not even Vincent, has a fecking clue what the team is going to be.

It is impossible for you to speculate on what Vinny does or does not know mon ami.

Calm down, chill out and let time and nature take their course.

We tried that last season.

It is not speculation mon ami, it's a fact, Vinni might have ambitions and plans, but at this stage he simply CANNOT KNOW what his team will be. He might have an idea of what he would like it to be, but he doesn't know what it will be, at this stage he can't know.

Let time and nature take their course, that's precisely the problem, they will, and so much to do, so little time. In just over three weeks we kick off, then the games come thick and fast, six weeks later a quarter of the season gone. No time for bedding in, no time to experiment, straight into the serious stuff and I can't see how we are going to be ready for it. Not Vincent's fault, it is what it is, but he's been dealt a bum hand to start his Burnley career, let's hope he plays it well, or we could be in a relegation battle before the summer's over.

I'll speculate for you mon ami:

Muric,
Lowton, Long, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor,
JBG, Bastien, Cork, Knight, Twine,
Rodriguez.

We will still have a decent bench, Pace will have a few bob to clear the ALK indebtedness following the sales of Collins, Roberts, Cornet and McNeil.

They can’t all leave BT , Cornet I can see and Collins if it’s a big offer , Robert’s there sniffing around coz they think they can have him cheap as we got him cheap really and Mcneil I’m still unsure about , not sure his personality lets him go elsewhere ( huge step for him ) if he went to wet spam - there’s no sulking to be done and he’s fighting for his place from the off unlike here where it was very comfortable- said all along he has the talents just in his head to sort out ( still think it’s the toon for him with Eddie if he’s wanted and he’d be more comfortable with that ).
To be fair if we did sell all four that should more or less pay the debt off or bring it down to a manageable figure and give Vincent more money to spend.

I can’t help thinking that some of our proposed deals were chasing our now getting held up by players not yet leaving us quick enough.

Jason Knight would be a good addition but Orsic is also available again now that would be a boost......

I think you could be right army, Vinni needs to know where we stand, if I was Pace I'd be telling the recruitment team to get all those leaving us out the door by the end of this week, even if it means we drop a couple of million here and there. Vinni has a difficult enough job as it is, the uncertainty must be killing him.

Be interesting to see how close you are with that 11 mon ami, anything over 6 right and I'll hold my hand up and give you the Mystic Meg Trophy for July 2022. Best of luck. l

Guessing but I can’t see us playing 442

But if we did

Peacock Farrell
CJ Riley Taylor HB Mcnally Taylor
Robert’s Bastien Cork Mcneil
Twine
Rodriguez
Or if Brownhill stays 3 centre backs - overlapping wing backs

Peacock Farrell
Taylor HB Mcnally CJ Riley
Robert’s Taylor
Bastien - Cork - Brownhill

Twine

Rodriguez

Please take Brownhill off that list.We need players who do not pass to the opposition.
