What a surprise lol

Yippee!!
Great news

2 year deal + option for further year

Welcome home Jay. Indeed one of our own.

So CT, are you divulging what your third article is?

Very interesting to reflect on the Club he left and the one he has returned to with all the changes at Gawthorpe in particular.

Now cannot wait for the new season.............to see Jay Rod run out again will be a terrific moment in football for me.

Absolutely not. I didn't divulge these two either. As it happens, I don't think we'll get the third one now.

another no brainer at the price we've apparently paid

was the third one dependent on someone leaving ?

The one thing we know here is that we've signed a player who we know wants to play for us. He's going to be living all our dreams again, a Claret playing for Burnley.

Delighted with the two signings so far.
What age is Jay ? He’s certainly aged in that photo. 29?
Thanks

I wonder why he chose west brom over his "Beloved" Burnley two years ago ?

Has dyche rang you to tell you

Has his man bun gone?

I did not see that one coming!

Good signing, good value.

Now to see what happens regarding Heaton, Hart and Tarkowski (if anything), and central midfield.

JayRod!

Still remember his debut for Southampton against Manure and the commentator several times announcing what a big United fan Jay Road was?

Money, plus we were probably more likely than WBA to get relegated, until WBA had that implosion

Now WBA are in the championship for another season we are the more attractive proposition.

He will give absolutely everything. And it will raise the roof! Can’t put a price on positive energy around the place.... really happy with this one.

Fantastic news, come on Tony....give us a clue if only on his position, who's the 3rd write up on ?

And after putting pen to paper on his new deal, bringing to an end a two-year spell with the Baggies, Sean Dyche’s second summer signing flew to Portugal on Monday evening to join fellow new boy Erik Pieters and the rest of the Clarets squad"

He signed yesterday according to the Burnley FC web page..... and is out in Portugal after flying out last night....

Just need him to sort his hair out now.

welcome home Jay

UTC

Credit to the club on this one. After missing out on Crouchy its good to see they had a plan B ready to go so quickly

I would think the paper work would have been done at this end so potentially he could have signed yesterday before flying out to join the squad.

He's posted some kind parting words on the WBA website as well...nice touch.

And knowing Jay they will be very genuine

Brilliant news ,but strange that it appears that the signing wasn't triggered until Crouch finally confirmed he wasn't returning to the club after we gave him the option.

Looks like the photos on the website have been taken in Portugal unless Burnley has been hit by a Sahara plume in the last 2 hours

Or that this was the last week to get him for the knock down fee before West Brom could get back to being West Brom with player negotiations.

They have, he's in Portugal.

Great to see JRod back.The only question now- will his debut be at Crewe or Port Vale? Is it a question of getting to Sandbach Services and waiting for the team news?

Fabulous news
Fabulous signing
Fabulous Clarets

Will he get his song back?

Or will Dwight McNeil hang on to it?

Or can we sing it for both?

I'm sure he did the same with us when he left.

Be a bit odd to sing ‘Dwight McNeil, he’s one of our own’ to Jay Rod.

Im glad he's returned however I think the 10 million we reportedly paid is over the top, however time will tell.

82 appearances out of a possible 84 is really brilliant.
Welcome home, JR.

Well pleased with this.

I knew he'd played a lot of games for West Brom but I was surprised that it was so many and one of the two he missed was at the end of last season when they rested him for the play offs. 76 starts, 6 sub and 2 games missed.

Time to come up with something better for McNeil, he's not even a local lad so the song doesn't fit at all anyway.

5 + 5 next season, absolute bargain at that price in today's market

This is good news because we know what he can (or could) do and he is going to give his all for the team. But will he start? Despite my criticisms of Barnes I have to say the two lads performed great in the 2nd half of last season and Barnes in-particular came of age in the PL. Something tells me that Jay is not going to stroll into the team. However Barnes and Wood now know they have to up their game even more becuase Jay will be prowling like a hungry lion in the wings if he's not playing.

What a superb problem Dyche will now have.

Happy bunny here.

He's a Man Utd fan.

Yes I suppose your right, has any one seen him at WBA play? Is he as good as he was at Southampton or has he lost a yard as most do with an injury like he had

How many players does our senior squad have now?

Does someone else have to leave before we can bring anyone else in?

Untinted Glasses wrote:Yes I suppose your right, has any one seen him at WBA play? Is he as good as he was at Southampton or has he lost a yard as most do with an injury like he had

Deffo lost some of his pace but he is an intelligent player so can make up for that, it'll be great when he scores the winner against Saints on the opening day !
