Could be a master stroke. Welcome to Burnley.

Great news. Welcome to the best club in the EPL

At last we have a signing. Think he'll fit in well.

Right, onto Brady next please...

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:51 pm

Good signing, I'm happy with this, welcome Ashley.

Burnleybabe · Post by **Burnleybabe** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:52 pm

Thank goodness we have at least one in.

Come on Brady next

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:53 pm

Welcome to Burnley, Ashley!

I reckon he'll be a good signing for us. Definitely sounds like a Dyche player.

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:53 pm

Good stuff!

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:53 pm

Super. Much needed strength in midfield.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:54 pm

Once again I am completely underwelmed, however I was with Heaton and Gudmunson. So I will trust Dyche and see how he goes.

Get in ! Welcome to the club. Now for Brady and possible others.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:56 pm

Not what I'd have hoped for but more than happy to be proved wrong. Welcome aboard, Ashley.

exclaret · Post by **exclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:57 pm

I've heard he's like a **** Michael Carrick. He has a lot of passion and should fit well into a Dyche team.

gricey44 · Post by **gricey44** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:57 pm

My God , I'm not sure how happy he is to be with us looking at his picture on Twitter

ClaretTricks · Post by **ClaretTricks** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:58 pm

great to see us react quickly to the massive loss of marney, in the past we would have had a 'what we have will do' mentality.

big praise to the board for backing the main man SD.
Welcome to t'Turf Ashley - wear the shirt with pride

Have we any idea on the fee? I see it's undisclosed as we'd expect.

exclaret · Post by **exclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:59 pm

Looks like he likes Burnley due to 'British talent'. I don't think that'll go down well with Defour, Hendrick or Ward?

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 5:01 pm

If he's good enough for Sean then he's good enough for me

Welcome to Burnley, Ashley. Don't worry about the negative comments above - they're examples of our sense of humour.

But Will with
Heaton
Lowton

(Can't say Arfield anymore)
Boyd
Vokes
Gray
Pope

A not overpriced replacement for Marney, makes sense to me.

He can certainly pick a pass.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 5:05 pm

He's not a replacement for Marney. Not the same sort of player. He's an extra body in a key area though.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 5:05 pm

His comments are interesting (and encouraging):

“It feels like a proper football club and homely and that’s what I like. I like to be appreciated and I think I will definitely get that here.

“It’s a fresh start and I want to show people what I can really do."

So who does Dyche drop to play Westwood?

He nearly did - he then got offered a London based club and double his salary... Ermmm

Roosterbooster · Post by **Roosterbooster** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 5:09 pm

I think it's potentially a great signing. Young, not too expensive, likes to break up play, loves to keep it simple, but also keeps the ball moving, plays the ball forwards, and doesn't slow the game down too much. A natural Marney replacement. Welcome to Burnley Sir!

claretbob · Post by **claretbob** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 5:11 pm

Looks a solid signing and have a feeling he's not cuptied either so could be very useful for the rest of the campaign.
