Anyone else surprised Burnley are letting him go when he played almost every game last season and also started their first game back in the premiership? Wouldn't have thought he would want to leave when playing games for them. Impressive if we pull it off. 

Can't do anything about it if the alleged release clause is true

They've got no choice if we've met his release clause, Add to that the 3 year deal we're giving him, At his age it will be his last lucrative contract so can definitely see why he's dropping back down a level.

Their fans are a bit surprised and sad that he's leaving, a very good sign and shows his quality. But also they're apparently signing Defour who is a very good midfielder and have been trying to get Hendrick all summer so it shows they are trying to upgrade

32 years old and the offer of a three year contract. Not surprised he'd sn@tch our hands off.

 

Great strategy signing experienced players at or around 30 years old if it comes off and we get promoted. But a risk if we don't and were saddled with players on the wane, but on big wages.

The lack of young first teamers in our squad is a bit of a shame, but I am sure that if we were to get promoted we would land some of the best young talents.

In terms of getting promoted from the Championship though an experienced squad is perfect. This is a fantastic signing.
