Steven Defour

[Lancasterclaret]

Belgian journalist who broke the story that we were signing him is tweeting that we are taking up the one year extension in his contract.

Good news!

[mdd2]

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Should add another year on whilst we are doing it

[Steve1956]

Fantastic news,I love Steven Defour.

[Dyched]

WE’VE GOT STEVEN DEFOUR

[Blackrod]

The touch of class in our hard grafting team. Got to be good news.

[RVclaret]

Great potential news. Got another two seasons of class left in him surely.

[jedi_master]

Great news - a class act, I think he will relish a European adventure.

Hopefully we can have a full season of him next time as he is just fantastic to watch, for me he would be on course for POTS if he had stayed fit.

[bobinho]

Awesome news.

Why the daily mail haven’t got the back 17 pages plastered with this I’ll never know...

Seriously tho, it’ll be like two excellent new signings next year with d4 and Brady back.

[Ric_C]

So does this mean next year and the year after? Think his contract was until the end of 2019 as it stood.

ie until the end of the 2020 season?

[ElectroClaret]

It'll be like having a new player.
Same with Brady.

Great times.

[Jambounchained]

Potentially fantastic news this!

Back once again for the renegade master

I never thought i'd love any Burnley player in my lifetime more than Blake, Defour's quickly become my favourite ever player for us.

[chekhov]

What do I know, anyway, but what I think singles him out is his ability to bring the ball instantly under control, see a pass, and play it perfectly weighted, and do it every time. It's the consistency that distinguishes a great player.
Okay, now you can slag me off for stating the bleeding obvious...

[IanMcL]

The mark of a great midfielder is the ability to create time for himself and then make the pass which cuts through a defence.

Defour has that, as well as what you list Chekhov.

[Chester Perry]

He is also talking about extending beyond that - even until he retires

Still re-watch his Bristol city goal every now and again, Genius. Pleasure to watch is Defour hope he stays till his mid 30's

Now there's a goal I never tire of watching, his technique is superb.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Excellent news. The belgian Westwood.

[Awayfromburnley]

We've got more Defour
Stephen we've got more
I might just go and hug this man.....

[Andingle]

Very good news and his enthusiasm shines more positive light on the club to any potential transfer targets

[CarlesTheClaretPuyol]

Defour more years!
Defour more years! ad infinitum

[Culmclaret]

His goal against Hull one of my all time favourites. The piece of skill to take out two Hull players was sublime and then to cap it off with a wonderful finish was sheer brilliance

[Juan Tanamera]

He's only scored 3 goals for us (I think) and each one has been a thing of beauty.
His free kick at Old Trafford.
Oh yes.

[Moorite]

We've got Steven Defour!

[NRC]

Thanks for that, Moorite, it saves me from searching for it. You can tell how good it it with the crowd. Instead f the usual shouting and baying, it quickly turns to pure applause.

[tiger76]

Great news will be a vital player in Europe next season.

Defour wonders why we love him in that article. 1) He's class 2) We're kin grateful he's playing for us
