Aleksz Posted 30 June 2025 Posted 30 June 2025 To be fair Carmo would make sense, we've been linked with him for a long time, even back to his Braga days. 1

The problem is that only Chido I would be confident would cut it it (eventually) in the Premier League. Josh Brownhill is a good example actually of a player that is too good for the Championship and maybe good enough for a lower placed Premier League team, but not any better than that. But that is the market we are shopping in nowadays.  But that in itself is an issue, how do you catchup to Premier League teams without being able to spend Premier League money? The only way really is to develop young talent and buy under priced gems out there and hope that you can create a much better squad than what you paid for.Â

JimJams Posted 30 June 2025 Posted 30 June 2025 Brownhill makes no sense. There's no way he chooses us over Burnley unless we offer him more money or a longer contract than the clarets are, and that's the kind of shit we want to move away from, so why would he join us? Dolan for free makes sense as competition/cover for a couple of positions. Obi also makes no sense. He's a young lad that needs playing time. We have our own young lads that need playing time in the forward positions, but we'll get to reap the benefits of their progress. We won't if Obi comes with no option. Pointless. Actually detrimental.

This makes him the highest-paid player in the Burnley squad, according to estimates. His salary is reportedly £5,000 more per week than his midfield teammate Josh Cullen.  Wonder what that means for us. He'll be better value than Skipp I suppose! 2

If you moneyball the signing it’s actually a no brainer, especially as Buonanotte and El Khannouss won’t be here. You could argue it blocks the pathway for others but it’s definitely a position we are short in. With a 46 game season, signing one of the best Championship players last year with over 25 goal contributions… well you can see why we’d be in for him. 3

JimJams Posted 30 June 2025 Posted 30 June 2025 Got no problem with him as a player for us. But we know his ceiling and we know we'll make him impossible to shift when we inevitably want/need to. If we put him on a sensible contract he could be a very astute signing. Will we do that?  Optimistically signing him would hopefully mean we've already got a few outs sorted. Buo and Elk don't play the same role as Brownhill so their absence (and potential departure) isn't really a factor. More Soumare, Wilf, Skipp...

Not true. Wilf will only play as #10 or an extremely attacking #8 in the championshipÂ

A lot of clubs in for Dolan, cov, and derby included. I think given our manager situation we miss out because we simply won’t be signing anyone yet. Makes it vital to get a new manager in quickly.Â
Brainy Posted 30 June 2025 Posted 30 June 2025 Brownhill would be terrific. Think some of us are too obsessed with signings that are PL-ready. Risky and costly game for a club who can barely be trusted with money. Hopefully we can find some more Hermansen's

Also, if we wanted our new manager to dodge an input, and we already knew who it was going to be, they could still have input.
Clever Fox Posted 30 June 2025 Posted 30 June 2025 Brownhill would be an excellent signing on a free. Proven at this level with Goals from midfield.  Get rid of Soumare and we can easily afford him while still saving money. 3
