Stuttgart paid £1.3m for him 6 months ago and he's hardly started a game for them.

Brian Easton is now crying.
I played with Leighton baines at Wigan for a while. But I still to this day say I’ve never seen a left foot like a lad we had in the early 2000’s called John boardman who we signed from Liverpool. Played with him too and he was class.

Crazy how sometimes players just don’t make it

If JBL has signed, I'm pleased.
Yes, there are PL goals in him which has to be a positive

John Boardman looked a decent player when he first came in. Would it have been Stan who signed him?

It was but Stan didn’t exactly nurture any youth. He didn’t care. Jobs for the old boys he knew until they got too old.

Stan once told the club’s AGM that we should shut down the youth department. Barry Kilby quickly assured shareholders that it wouldn’t happen.

Speaking to my Norwich mate about sergant and a player plus money deal. He’d absolutely love benson to go there.

The way he got us over the line that season with his world class goals will stick in the memory for a long time. He was insane. Never known me want a Burnley player to do so well and kick on more than this lad.

He’s still technically the best left foot I’ve ever seen play for us.
Imagine the fans of a club (like Norwich) being linked to him and checking out his you tube highlights videos!!!!

Pickford fee is the absolute baseline yes, I’d say the English tax is also worth 5-10m given the requirements for homegrown players now in European squads. Having a first team quality English player is a premium and should be paid for as such.
Correct but they already have Nick Pope.

First I’d heard of that. We weren’t in a good position back then with most good kids going to Manchester, Liverpool or down the road.
Was he right or wrong? Did we get anybody through between it being said and JRods breakthrough?

I think someone must have played Football Manager at the time as he was a wonderkid on there and ended up at the likes of Chelsea, United or Arsenal.

In fact Hamilton in that era had 3 wonderkids with McCarthur and McCarthy joining Easton for Football Manager mega stardom.

Said it several times but ‘the 10’ could easily be two 10s in a 3-4-2-1 type shape that Parker used in his previous PL stints and at times last season. Edwards played as an inside 10 for Amorim at Sporting.


It’s JBL.
It's Henderson

4M euros according to Sky. Bargain that (even if it's twice what Stuttgart paid for him in January).

Well we know it isn't Jordan Henderson, because he is signing for Brentford on Monday has already announced such.

According to Transfer Market Trafford and Dean Henderson use the same agent CAA Stellar.
Weirdly, Henderson was born in Whitehaven so they both hail from Cumberland...
I'm sure it's all coincidental....

He didn't say someone called Henderson was signing for Burnley.

Only that Henderson is signing on Monday.

I think he's meaning Jordan Henderson is signing for Brentford on Monday.

There’s no such place as ‘sports medicals’ in Manchester. Burnley do their medicals at Nuffield health in Chester

I liked JBL and he’s got goals in him. Though did nothing at Stuttgart , perhaps was injured or just “didn’t fit “? The kinda player who needs regular pitch time imo .

It's an odd one for me given who we have wide:
Tchaouma
Anthony
Koleosho
Edwards
Tresor
Benson

Even if Benson and Tresor leave, we have two for each wide spot. But at the price he's decent cover, amd was definitely one of our better attacking players for a spell under kompany. I just can't see him getting much game time.
