Bailey Peacock Farrell

He sounds like a firm of solicitors

Obviously comes from a poor family. They could not afford a fore name but all donated surnames.

Burnley have agreed to sign goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell from Leeds United for £3.5m.

The Northern Ireland international looks set to come in as a replacement for outgoing keeper Tom Heaton, who joined Premier League rivals Aston Villa on Thursday for £8m.

Peacock-Farrell joined Leeds on a three-year deal in July 2017, before a loan spell at York.

The 22-year-old made 28 Championship appearances for Leeds last season.

It now says £2.5M?

[Vino blanco]

It's our normal Burnley tactic. Once they accepted £3,5 million, we reduce it to £2,5 million.

There's a video on Twitter showing some of the goals he's conceded. Some absolute shockers in there.

shocker a goalkeeper concedes some goals that don't look great. I bet if you looked hard enough you could find goals conceded by Tom that don't look that good.

[evensteadiereddie]

I hate the the thought of Heaton having gone but Billy Mercer will know exactly how good this lad is now and how good he can become.
These two keeper deals will prove to be outstanding business and management yet again.

[Pearcey]

In for medical shortly according to Nixon.

Like the one at Anfield, or more recently at port vale.

It happens to the best of them.

Look at the supposedly best goal keeper in the world ( de gea ) he looked bobbins for his first 2 seasons at United when young.
I bet he still throws the odd one in now.

He had an awful world cup and then a poor season for Man U.

His comments are interesting. Wants to leave Leeds to play football. He ain’t gonna get any at Burnley in the current situation plus he ain’t good enough for the first team yet.

Unless, unless, unless Pope's injury is more than is being said? You know what it's like at Burnley (MI5) FC. As fans we are, to be fair, like the proverbial mushroom (kept in the dark and fed on bullsh!t). Transfer fees = undisclosed. Transfer rumours = we haven't been approached (or approached anyone). Player injuries = we'll have to wait and see/it's a work in progress/we're waiting for the doctors report/he's back training on grass (and on and on). It's all good fun and we are used to it so we make of it what we will.

Having said that I prefer it to having 5 pages of headlines every day in the tabloids like the Uniteds of this world.

[Rowls]

C'mon Rowls, keep up with the times! Bailey is now used as a Christian name.

"Christian" name?

How old fashioned! (And just a weee bit discriminatory )

Its a "given name".

As opposed to a name you found lying around, presumably.

[Rowls]

Anyway, if he's insisting that Bailey is now a first name then I think our Bailey should team up with Mott the Hoople to make a new pop duo.

[Rowls]

They'd be called "Bailey and the Hoople"

Definitely.

[rob63]

Double barrelled used to sound posh. Now it is more likely to mean dubious background.

What happens if 2 people with double-barrelled names have a child, will it have 4 hyphenated surnames? Or will it be mix'n'match?

One day we really could have an Ian Wright-Wright-Wright.

When he retires, will he become Old Bailey?

Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has arrived at Premier League side Burnley to undergo a medical, according to the Sun. 

The Whites have accepted an offer from Burnley for the shot-stopper, reported to be around £3.5m, and the deal will contain a sell-on clause.

Now the Northern Ireland international is set to make the move to the Clarets and has arrived to be put through his medical paces by the club.

Peacock-Farrell has entered the final year of his contract at Elland Road.

He is highly rated by Burnley boss Sean Dyche, who wants to see Peacock-Farrell compete for a first team spot at Turf Moor.

[beddie]

Good age for a keeper. I'm sure Sean and Billy have seen enough in him that convinces them they can improve him.

Are we expecting this to be announced today?

Yes.

I’ve seen Leeds fans speculating (on twitter) that we have thrown in Vydra as part of sale.
