Brilliant news. I was confident he could do the business in the PL if we gave him time. I still think he has room for improvement and I'm sure he'll be looking to get a few more goals next season. Great player.

Oh Guddy Guddy gumdrops.

That left foot is a beaut.

Our best player since he came back from injury.

Maybe there are merits in buying players from relegated teams!

Fantastic news...Important player and nice words from him expressing his happiness at Turf Moor !

Super news for all Clarets.

Thanks Johann

claretspice · Post by **claretspice** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:11 pm

Fantastic news.

Still not absolutely sure how we fit him, Brady and Lennon into the same team if and when they are all fit, but its a fabulous problem to have. JBG has come on leaps and bounds in the last year - I doubted whether he'd be more than a fairly workmanlike PL player but he's certainly proved me wrong and been an absolute star this season.

Just needs to add a few more goals to his game and he'll be as good as anyone outside the top 6.

i suspect that we just don't. believe we're after another wide player as well so we'll finally some proper depth in those positions. cracking news and a cracking problem to have.

Stalbansclaret · Post by **Stalbansclaret** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:29 pm

Fantastic news. JBG is maybe our best player technically, along with Defour. and as others have said an absolute steal at the price we paid for him. Made my day.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:30 pm

Delighted with this, it's always a bit of a nail biter when players go into their last year. See Ben Mee situation. It doesn't mean he won't sign eventually, but so glad when it's put to bed.

Fantastic news. Johann has become a very popular lad at Burnley due to his ability, character and modesty.

Really, really delighted about this.

“It’s something I wanted to do. I want to stay here. I feel comfortable here and my family likes it here, so I definitely wanted to sign a new contract."

Really looking forward to watching him in the World Cup.

It’s refre that our best players are signing new contracts rather than looking for other clubs! Just shows how far we’ve come.

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:51 pm

Great news. The lad has had a brilliant season and the he is the type of player we need to keep hold of. Must be worth in the £12 million region I would have thought

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Fri May 11, 2018 12:53 pm

Love him: just bloody wonderful.

He gets fans off their seats!

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:05 pm

The fact that he’s signed now instead of waiting until after the World Cup says a lot about him and us I would think.
Great news.

couldn't agree more. Icelandic plyers will be in the shop window in a couple of months, but not our JBG!

Fast becoming my favourite player.

He looks truly like a world class player, more so every game.

Brilliant news!

claretdj · Post by **claretdj** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:33 pm

Excellent news, when I first watched him I wondered if he was good enough? But he has just progressed at a rapid rate n got better n better as the last 2 seasons have been fantastic from him! Well done all at bfc for sorting his contract out as to replace Johann like for like I would think we would have to spend 10-15m. So great business by both party's me thinks..

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Fri May 11, 2018 1:48 pm

I anticipate this is our signing of the summer!

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Fri May 11, 2018 2:46 pm

Hi TopClaret,

Fully agree with you although I'd value at him at £15m minimum.

"Great news. The lad has had a brilliant season and the he is the type of player we need to keep hold of. Must be worth in the £12 million region I would have thought."

MrVmax · Post by **MrVmax** » Fri May 11, 2018 2:52 pm

Brilliant news, I was starting to get a little worried prior to the world cup. Fully expect him to have a superb one. Iceland will be my second team

£2.5m bargain. Great news, my favourite winger for Burnley since Little.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Fri May 11, 2018 4:56 pm

Excellent news this. I had already decided to back him as "first goalscorer" and "anytime goalscorer" in all of Iceland's World Cup matches where his record for his country seems quite impressive.
