Yeah think we would have pay him more but not crazy money, i would take a chance with him. If he does want crazy money then walk away

I mean I haven't seen his body of work to know if that's indicative of anything but a one-game instance but the point is more these are people to bring in.
We are absolutely amazingly bad at utilising the loan market these days.
How do we go from loans like Lukaku and Barry to Danjuma and Donny van de Beek.
Bellis remained in the Championship after Burnley went up. Wonder why.
As for "These are the players we should be looking to for loans not the likes of a Danjuma"
...Danjuma was a player we wanted/"signed" before Dyche. So that gives you an idea on who brought him in. Any money we've spent in transfer fees, has been Thelwell, IMO.
I translated what you said, hence "="
But, OK - how about this;
This was a personal favourite last summer when I was moaning about recruitment, you said;

I really don't understand what you are trying to say.......................are you basing this on his age? because he has been brought through in the shelter of being a city academy player?
The fact Burnley didn't want him back for there PL campaign tells you all you need to know about him!
Why name him if you don't know what sort of player he is?
Genuinely Michael Keane makes more sense
What'swrong with the players I listed we go back in January exactly?
Danjuma has flopped but Moffi has a good goal record in France and Ouattara has been decent for Bournemouth.
I did, back in July, also think that was an squad upgrade on a very average Anthony Gordon. July 2024? Different answer.
Again, revisionism.

Depends on what type of deal you are making doesn't it?
A 4 year deal for a player like that would of course be madness.
A one year stop gap if we can't afford/attract anybody else, yeah why not?
I never said I don’t know what sort of player he is? I was referring to your comment on his substitution and I’d have to have seen him all season to know if that meant anything.
I’m suggesting names like because they’re young enough that we can trial them on a loan and if they fit, we buy. If they don’t, it’s a loan fee used and not a transfer fee.
It’s being smart.
Revisionism from you, yes.
You're saying just now we shouldn't be loaning the likes of Danjuma - when in the past as I've shown you've been longing for us to sign Danjuma, and even said last summer to me that we'd improved by bringing in Danjuma and Young for Gordon. Look;
No coincidence it was @Zatara who liked that post
Oh and by the way, Ouattara cost Bournemouth £20m+ so a complete none starter for us. Just as well - he's scored 2 goals in 43 games.
Yeah think alot clubs like this will all be after the same players. Can cover two positions just want see us try for players this summer is a market with players who could help but ofc if to much money or they want to go to a differeny club then fine. But is key we get a stronger squad
Esp if the postion is a backup ofc we need get quality in to out we cant just go crazy with spending and big money contracts.
The likes of Danjuma in the fee you listed for him not Danjuma the player. I never wanted him in the first place after he jibbed us off but thought he would be half useful at least.

He’s been decent and can play all along the left even in defence now. Don’t just stare at the numbers. I also linked him about a year prior to this when he wasn’t that fee. (We wouldn’t have got him anyway with the club ownerships links).

Probably because loans still cost money so the better loans come in when we can afford them.
They are very erratic too. The same season we got Lukaku on loan we also got Lennon and Deulofeu, pretty successful one that Barry was a weird loan/buy deal. We basically paid for him even though he was out of contract.
A season or two before we were loaning Senderos and Jo, rubbish, but this was also from a manager who loaned in Arteta, Pienaar and Yobo. So its very hit and miss.
To be fair both DVB and Danjuma had injuries whilst with us too. (I don't think Danjuma has been given much of a chance at all really). Harrison has done a job this season.
The choice this season was to improve the striker position whatever people think of the players. We did try for wingers gnonto asprilla ect and ofc should be top of the list of positons we need. Sure ouattara picked them and we also walked away because of the price
….but I thought we finally have a DOF who is responsible for managing the transfer budget, strategy, identifying and acquiring players and contract negotiations. Not sure how Dyche can bring in his own players unless Thelwell is leaving at the end of his contract.
