NEW PLAYERS

Thu Aug 11, 2022 4:57 pm

You would not believe how busy we still are on the transfer front, it is really hectic behind the scenes.
We have not finished our transfers by any means.

Although stated by SM that no deals are close we have agreed deals with two strikers, one who is very experienced and a premier club loan, who will be in before the window closes, and possibly a third. :clap:
So it will be interesting as there will be a few going out, not been told the numbers, or their positions but you can make a guess who they might be.

As for a certain Player who is wanted by another team :lol: Even though SM has said we will not sell our young players at any price, if the price is right he will be gone.
There is an interesting thing here, does the interested club have a spare striker :lol:

As before things may be agreed but not finalised until contracts are signed :ayatollah:

True or not. I think we would all be fibbing if we didn’t admit we love the soap opera that is football between the games!

Are you hinting we are trying to do a player swap with Burnley? And he’s a very experienced striker? Jay Rodriguez perhaps? :wink:

I would as well.

In the past I used to photograph a lot of Premier League football and Turf Moor was one of the grounds I covered.

I never really worked out what his best position was, Left Wing, Right Wing or Striker - He is pretty decent at all 3 and that was against Premier League opposition.

Rog,

Matej Vydra maybe! Available on a free..........

Re: NEW PLAYERS

Matej Vydra & Jay Rodriguez - Now that would be a decent strike force with plenty of speed behind them

Karl, that's a good call, would make sense and we've been in there for him before...

Always seems to tear us a new one when against us and I recall how he changed that replayed Snowgate game at Derby pretty much on his own...

Reported to be out until Jan 2023 although the below report from last week suggests it could be sooner. Would be a gamble on another injured player and have to wonder what Burnley offered that was unacceptable considering they have money and we don't

The 30-year-old joined the Clarets from Derby in 2018 and made 82 league appearances for the club. Vydra's contract expired at the end of June while he was recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury which sidelined him for the last four matches of the season. The forward said Burnley had only made him one offer of fresh terms, which he could not accept.

"I would like to say farewell to my amazing fans who have supported me throughout my time here in Burnley FC," Vydra said on his Instagram account.

"I've been lucky to experience the family atmosphere of the club, great teammates and outstanding support from our doctors and physiotherapists that have helped me with my injury. "I've done my very best to play to my fullest potential during the length of my contract, not afraid to risk getting injured even towards the end of this contract. "That's just who I am and I wanted to help my club at any cost. Unfortunately during a match against Watford I got seriously injured and the club got relegated to the Championship. "Yesterday I went to see my brilliant surgeon Andy Williams, who was very pleased with my recovery. I'm ahead of the estimated recovery time and I was told I could soon be on the field again. "Negotiations with the club were minimal, I received one offer, which I could not accept. "To the club and to the fans, I wish a great season and the best of luck.

Chris,

We will need an experienced striker up front who knows how to score as well as our young guns. Here’s hoping.

He’s a 30yr old striker with lots of experience he’d be worth taking a punt on or any similar style striker to compliment the ones we currently have!

I agree, always liked him and feel he would complimnent what we have, just a question of how long he will be out for and what was the offer he declined as would imagine it was fairly decent with the money Burnley have.

Looks pretty quick to me, but as he has just signed a new 2 year contract till 2024, i dont think you have to worry about his legs :lol:

I do wonder if Lyle Taylor from Forest could be one of these.

Don't know anything to suggest that he's linked with us but they are willing to let him leave.
