Reports this morning suggest all is now sorted and he just has the final part of the medical to complete

Great news. Quality signing and a further upgrade to the squad.

Taking bets on when he sets foot on the pitch for us, either as a sub or as a starter ?

I sincerely hope that you are correct on that - I for one can't wait to see what he can do for us.

Very exciting times for us at the moment, long may it continue.

Have only seen Lennon play on the right. Can he play just as well left midfield or will JBG have to switch to his 'weaker' left side wing position?

Great acquisition, if it all pans out. Very exciting.
We've come a hell of a way from rattling the David Reeves bucket.

Taking bets on when he sets foot on the field for us? Try pre season friendly in Austria around the end of July.

I'm still rattled by him going to Bolton with Frillyskirt! Time to let it go eh!?

Cracking signing, a real sign of progression that we're able to land a player of his calibre when he still has a lot to offer.

Ooooops I said something positive, will quickly be forgotten though, after all I'm only ever negative.

I'd imagine on the right, but I'm sure he can do a good job for us on either side. It'll be interesting to see who eventually ends up on the left and right between Lennon, JBG and GKN.

Not so fast, Mr Scholes. Brad Jackson recalled from Southport..... clearly in a move to push Lennon to sign a deal or miss out on the Turf Moor glories. Doesn’t mess about our Sean.... he knows how to play poker

And feted by many others who will state that he did more than Hendrick.

Would love to see Lennon and GKN on the wings and JGB in the hole behind a striker with Defour and Cork playing their current roles. I wouldn't imagine that will be what Dyche does but that would be a very exciting line up. I think JGB could be great playing in the Hendrick position.

Disappointing, the wrong age bracket again, we are collecting too many senior gents it's the way to a rapid fall from grace, happens over and over again.

Agreed: Team vs Man City

So name a club that's thrived by signing younger players (but one that hasn't spent untold riches).

Age is just a number, abc. Sportsfolk are going longer and longer now with the advances in training, rest, and medicine. He's nowt but a bairn.

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Tue Jan 23, 2018 1:34 pm

I will wait to see, definitely not excited about this, I also feel he is to old and 5 years would have been excited but now, underwhelmed but most certainly hoping he proves me totally wrong on this call. The team do need something that little bit different but getting someone to score would be more exciting, but the thought of AL and GK on the outside might do the trick, certainly hope so.

ClaretEngineer · Post by **ClaretEngineer** » Tue Jan 23, 2018 1:34 pm

He certainly looks happier signing for us than he did signing for Everton!

Very happy with this. Look at our wingers 2 or 3 seasons ago compared to now and the improvement is vast to think that we now can choose from Arfield, JBG, Lennon & GKN

5 years ago we wouldn't have been in his orbit, even in our current position

Terrific signing. A real coup for the club. Hopefully he'll do better than the other winger we signed from the England B vs Albania game at the Turf!!

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Tue Jan 23, 2018 1:59 pm

I agree and know we could not have afforded him 5 years ago, it is just a point of I think he is past his sell by date but will wait to see as I have said. I obviously do not know how he will do, good or bad but what should also be obvious is that I hope he does very good and I am wrong in my thinking. Been wrong before but don't tell hubby I said that

He's a Claret now and I welcome him and will support him

As they say in footballing parlance I am over the moon that he has signed particularly as today is my birthday and 60 years to the week that I started supporting our great club.
Welcome Aaron I am sure you will not regret joining Burnley FC and hope you enjoy your time as a Claret.
