Encouraging start, but before we get carried away, he didn’t set the world on fire at Standard Liege last season - 4 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances
That spell looks to have got him a Bundesliga stint this season though so did ok there I would say .

You make a good point regarding cars. Why they let cars try and leave behind the JM is brainless, leaving them in the middle of the walkway obstructing thousands.

And there's usually at least one car blocking the way and space even though they can't get any further .

Re: Summer 2025 BFC Transfer Window - Links and discussion on the Linked player only.

If you'd asked all Burnley fans in December that season (when Koleosho got injured) who was the better winger and the more entertaining player between Koleosho and JBL the answers would have been pretty unanimous in saying Koleosho.
