End of an error.

[Rileybobs]

He'll always be a claret.

[summitclaret]

Official site confirms it's permanent. So ends a disaster signing. Suspect a massive weight of the wage bill. Can't think we got anything more than a nominal fee.

[NickBFC]

Thank god that debacle is over. One outgoing I am pleased for.

[billyhamilton82]

Wout a balls up

[Rileybobs]

I've got a funny feeling this isn't the last we've seen of big Wout and he'll be back one day in a coaching capacity.

[Anonymous Claret]

It's a shame. If he had stayed until the end of the season we may have given him a testimonial.

Bye Wout!

[ŽižkovClaret]

Some achievement to make "Burnley's worst ever Dutch signing" into a debate

[Tricky Trevor]

He’s a good footballer. Holds it up, brings teammates in, works back. Sadly he was never the goalscorer we were hoping for. Understandable he wanted out if he had been told he wouldn’t make the National squad whilst in the Championship. Once our fans turned against him over that he was done.
Best wishes from me.

Not even close to Marco Gentile or Remco Van Der Schaaf.

[claret2018]

Goodnight sweet Prince

[FCBurnley]

Don’t believe he ever really wanted to be here. Took the club for a ride so no best wishes from me

[BleedingClaret]

End of an error.

Very good

Hoping for the End of a Tresor now too

[ŽižkovClaret]

Not even close to Marco Gentile or Remco Van Der Schaaf.

The financial outlay vs return for WW vs that for Remco or Gentile puts him at no1

[Vegas Claret]

anyone expect a departing message ?

[BurnleyFC]

Thanks for everything, Wout.

[JohnMac]

A legend in his own lunch break.

[Goliath]

What's the fee?

[Awayfromburnley]

Wout had no clout


I actually rated him as a player. Just wasn't the right fit.

[Wokingclaret]

At least we saw him in the Championship

[ElectroClaret]

Bye then.
Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

Never seemed interested, good riddance.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Glad it's finally done and we can move on from a deal gone horribly wrong for the club. Just a shame the permanent move did not come 2 years ago.

No point holding onto ill feelings towards him now imo, so all the best to him.

[dandeclaret]

Carthorst

[Clovius Boofus]

I'm so upset.

[RalphCoatesComb]

He'll always be a claret.

But perhaps not in his own head. Seemed like the negative comments he received made him worse. Some classic misses

Good luck Wout. You'll always be a Claret, even if it's only in the history books

[mikeS]

Tony you must be knackered after writing all these transfer reports!
Well done and thank you!

[Sozturf7]

Best news of the day.

[Buxtonclaret]

What's the fee?

Hope we didn’t pay them too much.

[Marty Dobson]

Long string of misery. Good riddance.

[ClaretTony]

I suppose we've had busier windows but never seen anything quite like this in the last week.

Bashir Humphreys signed eight days ago and since then we've had three more in and seven out.

[bfcjg]

Our gain is Ajax loss.

[fidelcastro]

Does anyone know how much of a financial loss we've made on him?

I'm guessing all the others that have been sold this window were at a profit?

[GetIntoEm]

we will have made profit after the loan fee's we've had. not a massive disaster

[NottsClaret]

Not arsed that he's going but it's nowhere near our worst signing. Even financially, with those loans to Man Utd and Turkey I imagine we covered his wages and possibly even got a fee? Don't know how that works. Plus whatever we get back from Ajax which won't be much.

Didn't fancy playing 2nd division football for anyone, we don't have to take it personally.

[Boss Hogg]

One transfer I did want this window. Thank heavens. Terrible signing.

[MyRightFoot]

Twitter pages suggesting €6 mill for wout.. glad it's done and dusted either way.

[4:20]

It didn't work out for us in the end but we'll always be able to say Wout Weghorst played for Burnley Football Club.

[warksclaret]

Fee anyone ?????

[morninbob]

Fee anyone ?????

Less than 5m.

[JohnDearyMe]

Pointer, Irvine, Lochhead and now Weghorst.

Goodbye Wout, you've joined the pantheon of our all time greatest strikers

[forzagranata]

His farewell video on instagram is remarkable

[Woonderbah]

Wout I'll never ever ever ever ever forget you.. right what's for tea

[Cirrus_Minor]

I think that this is the best all round for all concerned. I wish him luck at Ajax

[ashtonlongsider]

At least he's had the decency to post a farewell video.

[claret wizard]

At Luton he played with a smile, worked his socks off when he came on and had a rapport with the fans, but still didn't score. I remember the miss at Villa being awful, but on replays it doesn't look as bad as I thought. Misunderstood, miscommunication. We'll have made a profit on Wout over the 3 years, £5M and the loans fees will have amounted to more than the £12M we paid. It could have been so much better though......

[ecc]

Twice he's refused to play in the Championship. I would have really liked him to stay because I think he's a good player. But he can sod off.

[Vintage Claret]

A signing that looked good to start with but didn't really work out for either party in the end for various reasons so probably best Wout and BFC have parted company.

Still don't think he deserved the vitriol he received from some Burnley fans though, especially the ones booing him during a pre-season friendly.

Good luck to him.

[JohnMcGreal]

They'll need it.

[boatshed bill]

That farewell instagram shows a bit of class from Wout.
Fair play to him.
