[Albion] Stephens to Burnley (deal now confirmed)

[Eeyore]

Can’t find this anywhere in reliable news sauces.

It's not. But there is stuff going around. Hard to dismiss it as just a rumour though, possibly because it seems so plausible. Potter suggested on Thursday he would be involved this weekend.

You did indeed - so it’s a JORDAN exclusive then... how do you know it’s true btw?

Ha. Friend's family connections. I believe the deal was finalised on Friday.

Anyone rejoicing is a bell end

 

[Questions]

My info comes direct not from any Twitter rumours. I don’t do rumours. If it doesn’t happen it will be germs or medical. He’s going up there tomorrow.

 

[Weststander]

One news sauce says Burnley are preparing a bid. From the bastion of truth, The Mirror.

Whilst posters intimate that his departure will be confirmed tomorrow.

Any reliable news links?

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Thats a result.

So Stephens is likely to be starting the next game isn't he?

I can't see Alzate and Molumby as a pairing yet.

With our new formation including wing backs we’ll usually play with two main midfielders with One attacking midfielder. For these two positions we now have Propper, Bissouma, Alzate and possibly Molumby. We could also play Gross in that position if necessary.

Ah, as with most of these exclusives, everyone found out after the press article came out

Sad to see him go assuming it’s true - he showed on Thurs what a great player he still is. I was told he’s made 99 PL apps for us just now too.

Massive part of our history. Burnley have consistently outperformed us in the last 10 years or so, so not sure how I feel about this.

Future is bright with our current options but lack of experience is a concern.

Play White there if absolutely necessary and the multiple Dutch capped/CL appearance-making Veltman in the back 3. Amazing times. If Dale goes... what a player for this club #neverforgivetheshyster

 

[Driver8]

Hope they don’t find the video of him singing Burnley’s a shithole in West Street during the promotion party!

 

[The Fits]

I’d think Propper would play instead of Biss.
Stephens deserves the move if they’re offering regular football.

Do Propper and Gross have a first team future with the club?

Pace and mobility about the pitch seem to be requisites of GP’s emerging midfield.

I'm the sauce and so's my wife ...

There was an article in The Athletic in which Potter enthused at length about Davy Pröpper.

Which doesn't make him immune from being sold if the deal is good, but he certainly has a future here.

I expected Groß to go this summer, but Mooy went instead.

Or White?

He's been a vital part of our recent history, but I think we've been the best of Stephens now

 

[Seasidesage]

Good luck to him if he's going, Always given his all and despite what some of the divs on here say has been a great player for the club...

First touch must be high on GP’s requisites and Gross’s is sublime and Propper’s not far behind.
