Good. No room for him and it was starting to feel like he was ready to throw his toys out of the pram had he not got a move

Good luck to him.
Real shame it never worked out here.

Surprised that Stoke didn't get him back
Good luck to him at Ipswich where at least he will get some game time
We are now down to virtually bare bones so come January I would say we need at least 3 new recruits

It may be thinner but we have been successful with the right characters rather than larger numbers with bigger egos.

Exactly, he did look on the verge of becoming a disruptive shithouse

Hope he scores lots of goals for Ipswich.
We will not know how he would have fared at Burnley if he had been more fortunate without injuries.

Good, we don't need players like him around, especially when we all need to be pulling together in the same direction.
Seems the "true professional" , " great team player" and "great character" are only evident when things are going his way, and he is starting games.
Great move for both parties.

Well, it isnt like a Dyche player to "speak out of school". As soon as he sent the "I miss football" tweet it was clear he would be on his way out.

I’m guessing it is nasty to have a different opinion. I’m sure the vicar thinks he has been value for money. Probably equates to ten grand per minute on the pitch.
Best to not work out the goal to cost ratio.

Not his fault that he got injured and when fit he was simply not good enough to get in our team
So don't blame him for wanting to get game time and the only way was for him to go out on loan
Didn't agree with him tweeting what he did though

And the tweet is the point.
This is the guy who has supposedly grown up after all his off field issues..

He has no need to tweet that sort of stuff.
Tweet about your friends, family, who you have mugged off recently if you need to...no need to tweet I miss football when the manager won’t pick you. The guy has earned 2 million from us for training and nursing injuries. Show a bit of class ffs. It’s not like he’s a young lad.
There’s a reason the great man has got rid when we have injuries all over the shop. Bad apple.

Maybe he is missing football. Whats wrong with a bit of honesty. Some "supporters" on here need to get a grip, grow up and grow a pair.

Taking into account his loan to Ipswich is only until January, how will this affect our ability to move him on permanently in the next window?
He will only have six months left on his contract at that stage. So far he has played in one Europa game for us and he will undoubtedly play at least one game for Ipswich. We could have found a use for him now, but come January if we add to the squad and our prospects of staying up look good then I can't see a big need for him.
I'm note sure how his single Europa game affects his eligibility for club play. He can register for a third club in January, but could he play for them?
Will we be stuck with him soaking up a wage for the remainder of the season if Ipswich don't extend his loan?
Good luck to the lad though. His recent tweets where a bit iffy, but we starting the ball rolling in that department when we publicly deemed him surplus to requirements.

He's only soaking up a wage because we chose to offer him it. He is our mistake, we have to live with these sometimes.

Big tough men , top of alongside shouting ,we are burnley super burnley , no one like us , no one like us .......then we get the people on here saying " he shouldn't of tweeted that " etc etc . Just show how the government are changing society. The men of yesteryear have gone. The old school blokes will not be around in 20 years time. There encouraging this, making us agree to alsorts of things and making it acceptable, blokes kissing blokes on tv etc, just bang out of order, any one speaks up and there a bigot or what ever. Ive seen theres some sort of bra thing thats coming out for "men" . its just sad the way the world is now a days . So getting back to it shut the **** up about the tweets you ******* pansy ****

As stated further up the thread our squad now really is very thin. This week we have lost three players,two loaned out and yet another injury. Little,if any chance of additions from free agents. We're going to need some luck over the next 4 months........... as well as some results.

Good move for him. Was a clever signing on the face of it at the time for a multitude of reasons. Just hasnt worked out. Partly because of the injury he got at ewood from a nasty challenge by one of their **** houses.
Ipswich fans are over the moon at signing him. And stoke are gutted they lost him and didnt get him back.
Didnt work out here. Not the first and wont be the last. Always seemed a decebt character too. Shame to see the vitriol towards a player who was only ever guilty of collecting a wage we agreed to pay him.

Quite remarkable that Dyche has seen fit to loan Walters out given our lack of numbers.
A small happy ship is clearly better than a cruise liner full of people not working together.
Looking at Vokesy after tonight’s performance compared to Walters in Istanbul is the reason why one can be trusted and the other needs a little Spanish archer

Shouldn't have signed him in the first place, not PL quality even at our level. Hope he does well.

I often agree with you Cricketfield but you must find it a bit weird why Dyche has let him go (given our current depleted squad). Also I would argue that if we had a fully fit Charlie Austin or Danny Ings coming back after 10 years some of our fans may be over the moon.

It doesn't really matter why he's gone, if it frees up a place for Dwight McNeil then it's all for the best.

Still banging your tired little drum despite my link earlier?
Walters was informed way back in May that he would probably need to move if he wanted first choice football.
He's now got his move and you're on here busily getting up to character assassination...

Good luck to him...I was one of those who thought he would be a useful addition to the squad ( or group) but it didn't work out. Hopefully he can be involved more at Ipswich barring more injuries. What has really gone on between him and the manager/coaching staff will probably never be revealed and neither should it.

I must say I'm surprised by this move given the thinness of our squad. Walters clearly needs game time and whose to say we've seen the last of him. His experience could very well prove pivotal for us in the new year.
