Guess who is available again....cheeky bid

[IanMcL]

Steven Defour not having his contract renewed at Royal Antwerp.

Played 12 matches. Restricted by injury.

However, what they don't say is that they forced him to play right away, when he was not fully fit. Lasted half a dozen games, before totally crocked, when the injury flared up.

I wonder....

[FactualFrank]

On a much lower wage... hmmmm.

[IanMcL]

Of course. Might do us all good on a pay for play or reduced overall wage.

It was criminal, after such a big op, that he had to play in Belgium, so early. All undone.

If he could stay injury free, I'd have him back in a heartbeat. But if he was capable of staying injury free for any length of time, he wouldn't have been back in Belgium in the first place.

Massive shame - he's a wonderful player

He'd be at a top 4 club if he wasn't injured.

[Bordeauxclaret]

We’ll always have that five or so months.

What a shame it wasn’t more.

I think it's best Burnley and Steven Defour remain parted, but with some good memories.

Our purple patch in the autumn of 2017 was largely due to his influence on the team. Great times.

He could keep Gudmundsson and Brady company

[boatshed bill]

Fine player, if he could stay fit KDB would be his bag-man

The last four words of your post are so true,i loved watching Defour run our midfield...a wonderful player indeed.

One of if not the best player I’ve ever seen play for us. All too briefly.

Reminds me albeit at a different level of when we signed David Johnson. Far better than anything we’d seen. But for too short a time. And injuries playing a big part

[Dy1geo]

The goal against Bristol in the cup, only top players can do that.

[CnBtruntru]

No from me, he's to short to be a keeper.

[superdimitri]

Sign him back just to be a club ambassador. He could sit in the stands on a match day and his influence alone would improve our performances.

There's plenty of staff on the recruitment team we are wasting money on so why not?

I was gutted when we didn’t sign David Johnson. Stan was too.

He scored in the 2-0 win at home against PNE (I think), and to this day, it is still the loudest I’ve ever heard the Turf celebrate a goal. Unfortunately I wasn’t at the Boro 1-1.

I remember getting Johnson on my shirt and being ripped to shreds about it as everyone was getting Gazza. Johnson was superb in the end and Gazza, well a bit ****

That Preston goal was brilliant.

[ŽižkovClaret]

As Central/Western Europe scout, maybe

[groove]

No way. Exceptional talent, one of the finest players we've ever had. But he's a crock.

Budge up Johan, I need room on that treatment table.

Oh, how I do miss his wife !!
