quality player, wish we had him here at Burnley, bags of talent and trickery.

We made him look like Messi at times.

Not so sure, he was incredibly quick, just nipping in nicking the ball and he was off.

Him on the left and Lennon on the right could do some damage.

Deary me.

You forgetting somebody? Jgb best of 3 of them.

Apologies. Absolutely correct. His workrate tonight was brilliant. he had a much bigger impact when he was pushing the wing.

and if JBG or Lennon get injured......

*Checks how long he's under contract for*

Nah, he's actually pretty shite. Played above himself. We've got a few players that are bang average but really performed well in the last two ties. Nothing to see here.

JBG is our best player at the moment. Can't wait for a fully fit Brady back too.

We are getting desperate now if we think we should be signing him.
Did nothing but chase shadows for 90 mins

no, you are mistaken, this lad has real class, if he was managed by dyche, he would be world class.

anyway, I pleaded for us to take interest in him about 6 years ago, and we blew it, so it wont happen thesedays because we dont sign players from anywhere it seems.

Not just world class but arguably the best player of all time

Imagine unleashing that on unsuspecting opposition this season.

Thought he was brilliant in both legs. Oddly thought he has the look of the Emperor from the Star Wars films though, just me?

That is a skill in itself don't be knocking it!

I'm fairly sure the players on the field tonight came from somewhere, didn't they?

Lennon is a cart horse by comparison. All pace gone.

Put your rod away.

That video up there was when he was a young precocious talent. Then the usual Scottish football thing happened, and Celtic signed him up and left him to rot on the bench.

We managed to grasp him from the bosom of evil, and we're trying to nurture him back to health. I think the best place for him right now is with Aberdeen. In two seasons, when he's back in full flow, then you're welcome to pay £15m for him. You might think it's a good deal to try and take him for free next summer, but personally I think that would be premature.

In all honesty, he has supreme talent, the only reason he's with us, is that he's very inconsistant. That's what we're working on with him. I would say you only saw about 80% of what he's capable of. On his game he's unplayable, even by Celtic (the Celtic that matched Man City).

tl;dr, Come back in two summers, after we've tied him down to a longer contract.

Thank you, brilliant summation of a player, you know your stuff.

I make it my prerogative to know about all our players. If you want a talent for the future, you might look at Ferguson, but I'd direct you towards young Campbell we had on our bench. That said, he's only 17 I think, and is a staunch Dons fan.

I think the main point I'm trying to make, is that we're financially stable, and don't need transfer fees. Unfortunately, most Scottish clubs aren't in the same position we are. That said, we went through years of agony to be where we are, and it's finally becoming worth it.

Keep yer mitts off!!

Hes 28 in three weeks
Cant see us coming back in 2 years with 15 mill when hes 30 ??
If hes playing in the scottish prem still at 28 theres a good reason.
Seen him twice in his career now.No thanks

McKenna would be a good signing, built like a wardrobe.

GMS would make a very good Championship player.

Be lost in the Prem.

Seems to be heading back to his best after his brush with death, Championship at Best though

He had a few moments but is average in general
