Re: Burnley’s confirmed Premier League Squad

Massengo was on Bristol books from 2019-23 and I think his dob is July 2001 and not 2002 as posted. Cant he be home grown as only made up 21 in July 2022?

And still no statue of Barry, the man who provided the funds to re-ignite the Club. Without him there would not have been the bunch of local business men including Garlick who got us from league one to (coming up) 24 years in the top two Divisions, 9 in this league.
