Summer 2021 Transfer Window

[EB Claret]

If we shared with the Saints we would have a 15,000 capacity and boxes already done

I think Keith Barwell wanted the two clubs to share Sixfields and turn it into a 25,000 seater stadium but the Council wouldn't sell.
Then a few years later they sold the lease to the Cardozas.

In Swansea the Football club, the Rugby club and the Council have a third share each.

Another thread that's turned into the Redevelopment thread   

What has our ground got to do with new signings and rumours   

[The Rauldinho]

Don't the club normally put out a list of players that are available for free transfers?
Assume there are a few that have been told they wont get much game time...

Think the only two players we would want a fee for would be Smith and Hoksins, although I think we would be daft to let Sammy go now we are back in L2.

Smith will hopefully find a new suitor, just hasn't worked out here for either party.

Possibly (or hopefully) they would be looking to move on BAS and Sowerby but who knows what JB has planned.

I wouldn't mind Smith staying, he has more to him than BAS.

As others have said Hoskins will be invaluable this season as he can play a number of positions and always gives 100%

who's the lad in the training photo's turning BAS and then being hurdled by Kabamba?

Good question. Maybe a youth team lad? I notice photos of most players. One player missing was Harry Smith, he could still be coming back from injury though and working out in a different way.

Probably right that he isn't ready for on field stuff yet? He was in Fridays pictures.

I don't think this is true - football clubs will nearly always try to at least recoup part of the transfer fee paid for a player. So whilst Ashley-Seal has been very disappointing they likely wont let him walk for nothing. Can't quite believe you wouldn't expect significant fees for Horsfall, McWilliams or Chuk!

Also I think people are overly critical of Sowerby, at times he played well. We should see improved versions of him, Mills, Rose etc. this year as they will likely know they underperformed and will want to put it right.

Having signed a number of wingers, we also have Kabamba, Chucks, Smith, Hoskins, BAS & Rose on the books as strikers. That is a lot of the wage budget tied up there for some players that are going to struggle to get a game, for me it makes sense to offload a couple to strengthen elsewhere and have a more balanced squad but we will need interest from other teams to move players on.

Great spot. He's not the three youth teamers who have signed pros this year, and it's not Tshimanga before anyone asks either. Not sure who it is.

Still could be a youth team player, just not one of the three that signed pro deals.

I agree with you about Horsfall, McWilliams & Chuks though think the club would count their loses with BAS, let him go for free and move on.

As for Sowerby, Mills & Rose, they were three of the poorer players in a team not good enough to stay in league one. For me they are bang average league 2 players, if we want to get promoted we will need quality around them, unless they dramatically improve they don’t look the difference makers for us to go up.

loan the deadwood out - BAS needs a full season playing somewhere else - he isnt the only one

Loan him out to get him off the wage bill.

Burnley

Short term will end up Div 1/Championship

[Melbourne Cobbler]

Bournemouth, Swansea, Brentford, Luton and even Fulham are teams we used to play regularly in the bottom two leagues and have now escaped and are regulars in the top two tiers.

Swansea maybe, still think the odds are weighted in my favour though. Clubs always return to their level eventually, look at the mighty Gers, get out of that?

[guest3063]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, Mark Little has signed for Yeovil Town. It was suggested on here that he could be about to sign for us.

David Cornell about to sign a deal at Peterborough according to reports.

This is likely to attract controversy, but...

Having watched that scout report closely (as is possible given the camera shots!), I personally think that there are some great movements in the box for BAS to get goals, combined with a couple of driving runs, and goals with both feet.

Given service in an attack minded side, I think he could be a handful. Please let's not write him off yet.

I wasn't very clear, I meant players that we should get rid of or who have had interest already.

No way I would want any of those you listed to leave, even if for a tidy sum!

From Wki!

Burnley have been champions of England twice, in 1920–21 and 1959–60, have won the FA Cup once, in 1913–14, and have won the FA Charity Shield twice, in 1960 and 1973.[5][6] They have been runners-up in the First Division twice, in 1919–20 and 1961–62, and FA Cup runners-up twice, in 1946–47 and 1961–62.[5] Burnley were the second, and are one of only five teams to have won all four professional divisions of English football, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Preston North End, Sheffield United and Portsmouth.[7][8]

As of the end of the 2020–21 season, the team have spent 58 seasons in the top division of English football, 46 in the second, 11 in the third, and 7 in the fourth.


Based on their record maybe a top side.
