Where has the Hayden rumour come from?

Defence is okay for now, we need a Striker & CM if we are bringing in more than 1 player - Winger would be nice.

We were still in talks about Brekalo earlier today, no idea whats happening on that front.

Brannagan staying st oxford. Theres someone else due for a medical (I have no idea who)

Think it’s just been announced that Brekalo is going Orlando

He’s getting a taxi somewhere

Brannagan is staying at Oxford so he's definitely not coming...Shame.

So, does anyone know much about McGuire, in the vain hope we actually pull this deal off?

Is he just an out and out striker or can he play multiple positions? 

Number 9 - He’s very similar to Gallagher maybe not as tall.

Sorry I won’t believe that this is being spun around again and that McGuire or anyone substantial is coming.

Ive been hurt too many times.

He signed a a 3 year deal the summer of 22 when he turned down a move to Blackpool after they had a bid accepted 

So 18months? Yeah that deals not happening then.

Wouldnt say no to brannagan from oxford

Im trying to see when his contract expires but it doesn’t show anything….If he has a few years left he will be expensive - But he’d be a great signing.

From the oxford forum. Lets hope he doesnt lead us on like he did with Blackpool to then turn around last minute and stay.

7 goals in L1! 

Bring back Duncan McGuires Mum.

He plays quite central and is more a defensive midfielder.

Considering we had agreed terms with orlando and are the sole reason for Mcguire being in the country the logic doesn't really add up to me.

Wharton deal hit a snag so we informed orlando the deal currently isnt possible. Snag has been resolved and yet we are not going back to complete the deal. Something is amiss.

Simple Venkeys have done a Uturn on the budget and instead of 2.5m which we were meant to spend on Mcuire,  they've come back late last night saying actually, you only have 1m instead -  Will lead to these league 1 links/Rumours.

Just now, neophox said:

Brannagan been linked before.... not the answer. 26 years old,  league one...

Brannagan wouldn't be a bad signing -  He's towards the top end quality of League 1 and has a fair bit of experience.

Brannagan at oxford being looked at. However same situation as Mcguire. We don't have the wharton money....

I'd take him!

Is it heck, 20 lads shouting Venky's out, apathy has set in. Our fanbase don't know how to protest en masse, just don't have the amount of mobilised hard-core to make any impact. Go on the Burnley forums and you'll see a mirror held up to how pathetic it all looks. 

Exactly…These lot will get away with this until they decide it’s time to sell.

Atmosphere at Ewood on Saturday is going to be toxic.

Give over nothing will happen and protest most definitely won’t happen…Especially if we bring in a freebie striker at 11:50 tonight…All will be forgotten.

Alan Myers tweeting that we are now after an experienced Striker.

It'll be Lucas Jutkiewicz on a free, won't it.

1000%....All in all its probably a less risk signing and Jukiewicz can hit the ground running but it just all stinks.

Adam signed Scotts name on the contract instead of his own

That made me laugh!

Its just excuses!! "Blackburn can get on with their recruitment" ooo aye yeah once the player we've been chasing all month decides to go back home and we have 14 hours to get bodies in.

JOKERS!

This is such a strange take on the situation, I can’t really understand why you’ve bothered typing it out.

The fact is, we’d negotiated a deal, presumably fee, wages and all that goes with it and organised travel for McGuire and his representatives, only for our meddlesome owners to seemingly take it upon themselves to veto all transfers in to the club at the 11th hour. Whether McGuire is any good or not is completely irrelevant at this stage. 

The only reason it would be relevant is if we’ve decided to sign another (seemingly better) option.  At this stage it sounds highly unlikely. 

Agreed, what people are forgetting is that we had this last year. Its not the first occasion and won't be the last under this ownership...Its barbaric! 

I'm so so embarrassed - To the point that i don't even want to listen to JDT's next press conference. The awkward questions coming his way about transfer will be unbearable to listen to.

There i was, last night, half looking forward to today as it looked like we were making a money signing, with possibly another incoming. I personally don't think Mcguire was the answer just with how limited he looked but obviously that's not the point...The poor lad broke a sweat to jump on a plane to further his career in English football. He's probably dreamt about it, we were the stepping stone for him to POSSIBLY get to the prem....We've, astonishingly,  repeated our actions from last year which is unacceptable beyond belief - Especially when we've just sold our biggest asset.

I'm not even sure what's going to happen today and I've bloody booked it off work!

Suhail & Waggott have you no shame!?

Keshi Anderson apparently leaving Birmingham on loan or permanent…Decent player and would do a better job than our current wingers.

looks like we're exploring some loan to buys at the end of this window, which suggests that money will be available in the summer if they're willing to commit to spending this much of it now.

Aye £22mill into running the club with venkys sending over 2/3mill on spends in summer.

Dont think Brekalo happens when Orlando have a fee there ready to go. We’re going to get nowhere this late on in the window trying loan to buys.

Risky business trying to pinch a target from a club we’re trying to sign a striker from 🫣
