LFEE

My bad. I’d just woken up ???‍♂️

I’ve a feeling that’s true despite what Burnley’s official Tweet said.

Hoping more a marquee signing ??

100% I keep saying it. Fans need to realise how big a corner we are backed into.

€65m isn’t it?

This. If he’s fit he’s our best LB and improves the whole defence greatly. His return along with Willock’s form saved us last season.

Chelsey

Wait until you see his sister…

Has it been discussed on here that his release clause was for the summer only? Rumour that the new owners green lighted the sale rather than it being out their hands as clause had expired hence Dyche not being too happy ?‍♂️ Probably rubbish but seen it mentioned in some quarters.

Tim Vickery mentioned us with a left sided centre half from Feyenoord he rates highly. Couldn’t recall his name but is from Argentina. https://www.transfermarkt.com/marcos-senesi/profil/spieler/469781

No brainer. It weakens our direct competition wether he works out for us past this season or not.

Surprised no one has mentioned missing an open goal in that video ?

They never did and made that clear at the beginning of the window.

The steps you are missing are: 1. They didn’t have a football club until 7th October and even then unsure what they were going to find when they got it. 2. It took until 8th November to decide and appoint Eddie Howe and another week to sort out the back room team. So you’d start sounding out people after that which they did in November with Trippier. It’s just not that easy as very good players will always have more than one option and the KO stages of the European competitions not finalised until late December which can also affect who you can attract along with a clubs need to sell. The Botman deal is the blueprint of how difficult it is. You’ve a player your manager clearly has as his No.1 target. Player is happy to come it seems but also happy to stay due to being in the ECL (so a good professional which I’d like to think is one of the reasons we want to sign him like Trippier). Without that extra revenue of the 2 extra games the club may of been keener to sell and also at a lower price, similar with player and his wages. They want to advance in Europe however and sell in the summer and Botman may have his preferred option of AC Milan back on the table then or even other suitors.

Really surprised by a lot of posters on here and their take on the transfer window so far. It was always going to be difficult due to our predicament and also resentment from possible selling clubs, particularly ones in a competing division. That’s without mentioning a lack of operational support within the club. We are nearly 1/3 through transfer window and have one problem area solved. We’ve 2/3 of the window to solve you could argue 3 key areas and another 2 supplementary signings. All the talk has been making 4-7 signings in total so are clearly in agreement in numbers. Lets see how it goes. They can’t be criticised for players not wanting to come or clubs not wanting to sell. Especially mid season. I think they are being sensible in knowing in one hand they need to improve almost half the team ASAP whilst being mindful you’ve got to still rely on the other half of the team still here. Yes it’s typical of our luck this season the timing of the Watford fixture. However don’t forget we’ve got Everton and Southampton to play later in the season when it could’ve not been the case. Losing Wilson when we did was a disaster and again another sign of our luck this season. Not that they never had intentions to buy a CF but it really backs us in a corner with negotiations. Hopefully we land at least one if not two players in time to register before Watford but ultimately let’s get the right players on sensible wages before the window closes.

What’s Martial earning PW? I seem to recall £130k but could be remembering wrongly.

Wonder if he got his £200k PW. We were never going to pay that. Surprised Villa would also mind.

One of the best technical players I’ve seen in a NUFC shirt. Felt his character has grown since his spell at Liverpool. If the choice is him or Ramsey I’d take Gini every day of the week.

IF he is our number one target (?) then you don’t worry about add on’s. No nothing about him but if he’s who your manager wants and you are that close it will get done. If the player REALLY wants to come then I’m all for it.

Have we give up on Lewis?
