Excellent signing. And he's even smiling when signing for us!

Very good news.
Not just a bit more quality, but in a position we need it.
Sometimes you need to pinch yourself to see if this is all really happening.
Welcome to the Turf Moor family Aaron

Any details on contract length? 2 and a half years would be ideal for all parties I'd have thought.

Brilliant signing, can't wait to see him in the famous claret and blue. Welcome to Burnley Aaron.

Imagine...... an exit for Freddie Ulvestad to follow then? Not a replacement, but 25 man squad and all...

Excellent news.

2.5 years is the deal length, Just said on SSN.

Not seen any reference to a contract length - I'd made the decision that it was going to be until end of 2019/20 and had to quickly remove it from the article.

Thanks for that MACCA - I'm just adding him to the squad list

2 and a half year deal sky are reporting.

I can see you're rather excited about this deal CT.

Welcome Aaron, we've been waiting for you... imagine that

Deal until 2020

Advice from Keano

Lennon said: “I spoke to Keano a few times. He had nothing but good words to say about the club and he wished me well. He’s a great lad and a top player. I played with him for a little while and he’s a top player, who’s going to go a long way in the game."

Fantastic News

Let's hope we don't have to sit Wood in the stand to get on the end of his crosses.

Class news. Great winger, very exciting.

I wish the lad a warm welcome.

It's funny I hadn't remembered he'd started for England in a World Cup, never mind made 21 caps. Mind you there wasn't much memorable under Capello's turgid reign.

I guess he does have something of an enigmatic quality - one of those players who perhaps has to be playing for you on a regular basis to see the quality he brings. He certainly seems well liked and appreciated from fans of his former clubs. Looking forward to seeing him in a Burnley shirt and hopes he gets a game.

I think this signing has given everyone a real buzz. So close to getting him in August too but eventually over the line.

He seems happier joining us than he did at Everton.

Very good signing. Welcome to Burnley FC, Aaron!

Welcome lad. Whatever you do, don't read this forum.

Glad we missed out to be honest. Gave big chances to Brady and JBG which they took with both hands, both needed games.

Much needed now though.

cracking signing and a mark of where we are now - incredible really considering where we've come from.

Welcome Aaron rollup,rollup, for the magical mystery tour step right this way .

It really is. We've made some really good signings in the past couple of years, no doubt about that, players such as Defour and Brady, but this one almost seems at another level, certainly bringing to the squad strengths and attributes that we don't have.

Not often a signing gets me over excited but this one has.

It'll be just like starting over.......

Brilliant - I couldn't come up with anything more imaginative than Imagine.

its another sign of how we're evolving slowly as a team. having players with pace like nkoudou and lennon gives us another dimension, we truly can change things now rather than plan b just being sticking an extra pole up front and launching it.

we'll be less easy to defend against as teams won't be able to play such a high line against us.

really exciting times.

Excellent piece of sub-editing Tony !

You'll be singing Love Me Do next
Welcome aboard Mr Lennon
Can't wait to see you do your stuff UTC

I'm VERY happy with this signing. Lots of our other signings have been Championship players who are looking to make a step up with us (Hendrick, Wood, etc.) or some Premier League players who were well past their best (Reid, Taylor). This is truly in the area of signing a proven Premier League player - a sign that we are moving in the right direction.

He's always been an exciting player to watch and our wingers seem to lack a little bit of "wing wizardry" in getting past players which perhaps he and Nkoudou can add to the squad.

Good news.

It should give the squad a massive boost to see a player like Aaron Lennon walk into training.

That's absolutely spot on - a proven Premier League player compared to the Wood, Hendrick and even, to an extent, Brady signings.

Great news. Our players and Manager will get the best out of him.

Good news it is. Let's hope he is in the team very soon and not just waiting to get Dyche-fit on the bench.

People are really excited by this signing but for one i am not overally impressed - watched him the other week against Spurs and was well past it.
Hope i am wrong though

Great news! Chuffed into little tiny pieces with this signing.

Welcome aboard Aaron - all the best!

It made me want to twist and shout.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

I'm just wondering how long it will take them to come on and say he's past it and we shouldn't have signd him. There's always at least one.

A winger like Lennon must be a Number 9 dream

A totally constant, positive response from Everton fans, towards Aaron Lennon. Well done them. Not many get that.


Welcome to Burnley, Aaron.

I think him and Wood will link up well.

This signing seems to have pleased everybody.
It certainly has Please Please Me

Apart from the muppet clearly not very knowledgeable about football:
"Burnley are a championship team on a bit of good form".

As they say in footballing parlance I am over the moon that he has signed particularly as today is my birthday and 60 years to the week that I started supporting our great club.
Welcome Aaron I am sure you will not regret joining Burnley FC and hope you enjoy your time as a Claret.
