you asked whether we should have extended his contract whilst he was still injured - just like we did with Defour.

Maybe Heaton won't do as well at Villa as he has with us under Dyche. I very much doubt he'll be afforded the same protection (ie from the framework) as he's had here.

Are you sure Defour was injured when we took the option to extend ?

My real worry here is that we strengthen a relegation rival whilst weakening ourselves. Not ideal.

If we insist that contracted players see out the last year of their contract we will ruin the ethos of the club. We sign players, hopefully improve them, and do not stand in their way when they want to move on. If we lose that ethos, we'll find it even harder to sign young talented players in future.
That bottom paragraph in particular is bob on. It will also likely undo the very characteristics and strengths that Dyche has and instils in his current player to man manage the squad as excellently as he does and to keep us competing at this level.

I've just had a read of the Villa forum, and a fair few of them are asking how good Heaton is on the deck with the ball.

Somewhere between Jonny Wilkinson and Ray Deakin :D

The most insane and inept piece of transfer business by this club since Jimmy Mac was sold.

And if Villa stay up at our expense then the Board of Directors and Mr Dyche (if he is still here by then) deserve to be run out of town by a baying mob.

A very sad day.

No it won't, it's just your liver lilied bottom lip quivering outlook that makes you think that. You need to have a bit of faith in Dyche and the ability of the other 20 odd players who play for our club rather than wetting your knickers at the thought of us losing one player

TH has been brilliant for us. Quite possibly the 3rd best keeper I've had the pleasure of seeing in a claret shirt. He helped turn last season around in a big way from the WHU game to April 19. SD talks about fine margins and I'm only glad nothing was riding on the Everton and Arsenal matches. If it had I can only guess at some of the comments he'd have attracted on here.
SD indicate at the end of last season that one of the 3 would probably be leaving. Most money was on Pope. However out of the blue, he signs a new long deal. For me that indicates to me he is potentially going to be our No1 for the 19/20 season.
Joe Hart seems to be taking an unbelievable amount of stick. I find it quite disrespectful to a player of his standing. A player who has achieved more than Tom can only dream about. He hasn't rocked the boat and has been nothing less than professional. He may have been partly culpable for our poor run of form but I can think of one or two in front of him who for my money were a lot more culpable.
Whist it will be sad to see our leader leave, as seems the case, we are however fortunate still to have two top quality keepers. It makes good business sense to me. Especially if it opens up the purse strings to bring in a much needed quality CM player.

gutted to read this, best Keeper I've ever seen at the Turf. More than earned his move to a bigger club imho, I wish him all the best - one thing I would point out is only a very small select group of players have left us and done better. My Villa mates are delighted, I've turned my phone off to mourn for the day.

If Villa stay up and we go down it won't be because of Heaton. If his influence was that great on a clubs success or demise £80m wouldn't have been enough and he'd be on his way to Real Madrid not Villa.

Players come and go and that's their prerogative, the club can't force someone to stay and have a business to run.

Tom is a great Captain and player but like any other job in life, has a right to improve his lot.

Funny how things work out, especially when you have 3 Keepers who have played for England.

It is almost like we have never done a season in this division recently without him

they lost 12 players in the summer and have replaced them - that's a huge turnover for any club, a few bad results and they will probably sack the manager because of the outlay in fees this summer. I've not heard of half the players they have signed so cannot talk about their quality though

I think he had just got back to training with first team when we announced it.
I do agree it was a strange decision but they must have done it based on the advice of our medical team and that he was going to be ok. Either we have been very unlucky and new more serious injuries have developed since then or somebody has made a very expensive mistake. Either way I can’t see him playing for Burnley again and even if he does it will not have been a good decision to take the option - albeit with the benefit of hindsight

Not totally no but Hart is a different style of goalkeeper to both Heaton and Pope,they will bo**ock their defenders and organise and command the penalty box.Pope in particular eased the pressure on our back line by claiming crosses,Hart's a decent shot-stopper,and he's ok one-on-one,but he's never going to dominate his area,and that puts doubt in defender's minds,and at this level any indecision or small errors will be punished.

Okay - he wanted to go - we don't want or need players that don't want to be here. Whoever they are.

We have two other goalkeepers who are not exactly clowns (whatever some fools think on here about Hart).

When we were playing rubbish before Christmas it was not purely down to Hart, in fact we got some points because of him in a couple of games. Mee and Tarks were not exactly covering themselves in glory either. I still believe our early season bad form was more political rather than any single player's ability.

I am still not certain that Heaton wasn't in some way carrying out a whispering campaign at that time - I said so then. That is obviously speculation but it was the way that it seemed to me, especially in light of the fact that once he came back we were suddenly a team transformed - no goalkeeper is that good.

Losing one player doesn't suddenly make you relegation fodder and especially if that player is a goalie.

Am I sad that Heaton is gone? Yes, he is a great keeper.

Do I think we have lost a potentially bad apple? Quite possibly and he certainly didn't want to be here.

My only puzzlement is that he has gone for only 8m. At today's prices that is peanuts for one of the best (if not THE best) English goalkeepers currently.

Our chances of survival or glory next season have not, in my opinion, been hampered in the least by the loss of a (albeit excellent) keeper.

You never know, the money gained may well be spent in another area where we need strengthening (but knowing our club I wouldn't hold my breath).

Let's all just move on and say bye bye to Heaton and move forward with what we have - nothing in life is permanent.

Heaton is a model pro. No way he would spit his dummy out if we didn't sell him. He would carry on and do a top job. He is not the sort of person to cause trouble. He wants to leave. So what! keep him for a season and let him leave on a free. We don't need £8m and keeping him could be far more valuable if he helps keep us up. Selling him to a possible relegation rival for that money is madness. He is our first choice keeper.

If you read rubbish like this on UTC so many times then eventually some posters will believe it and take it as read. Heaton doesn't dominate his area like Pope, although he did getter better at this when he wasn't in the side.

The people running Burnley Football Club are a complete disgrace. Every transfer window just gets more farcical. Just come out and be honest and admit that you don't actually want to be in the Premiership and stop taking your supporters for idiots. I've been watching Burnley for over 35 years and I'm proud of my Club but everything coming out of the Chairmans, CEO, Directors, and even Managers mouth just puts our club down as if where not entitled to be where we are. Every decision the club seem to make these days is a bad one. Its becoming more and more embarrassing. Please start running our fantastic, unique and very marketable Football Club as it deserves to be run during this fantastic period that most of us could only of dreamt about during the hard times of the 80's etc instead of the Amateur small Club mentality that currently exists.

Selling him would be madness if we don't use the money to strengthen elsewhere. If we sell him and pick up a centre midfielder for 20mi don't think anyone would complain.

My concern is his captaincy and what happened without him last season. Contrary to what people say in the other thread I don't think we have a natural leader to replace him.

Midfielder enforcer needed with leadership and aggression please.

How long did it take you to write that drivel out of interest?
