[Albion] Stephens to Burnley (deal now confirmed)

[Eeyore]

How do you know it’s with a heavy heart - have you heard from him directly or someone you know type thing?

It's been circulating most of the day. I think it may have been started by a media source.

Early on someone asked for a price from Sky and they wouldn't offer.

I'd like to file it under 'tosh' but if it is just a rumour it's a pretty good one.

Burnley 3-1 down at Leicester after 60 mins.

Could be on the end of a right hammering tonight.

 

[The Wizard]

Sean Dyche loves Dale Stephens and they have a very small squad and injury problems. Would make sense.

 

[Eeyore]

I would just add there are medicals to come possibly.

Yes. It's been in Twitter for a few hours and the Sunday Mirror were on it earlier.

Won’t be passing sideways up there. Receive ball belt it forwards

I recall the odd sideways pass, but mainly backwards.

Burnley fans turn to shout “get it forward Stephens!”

Isn't he in the last year of his contract?

 

[Sheebo]

He’s going there to play not make up the numbers but he’s 31. He is sad to be leaving but knows how it works.

So have you spoke to him or someone you know has passed this on? Not doubting it’s true as it would be a random one to make up, but interested to know if his feelings you mention are correct etc, as it would be a nice sentiment...

Burnley look awful this evening.

 

[rogersix]

What price are they reportedly paying

bus fare

which ain't nothing, cos it goes all round the houses

 

[Mancgull]

Yes, and unlikely we’d want to extend.

 

[Weststander]

Can’t find this anywhere in reliable news sauces.

Posted this in the match thread before teams were announced today. It's 100% true.

 

[A1X]

Another of that promotion team on the way

It's a good move for him as he wasn't going to get the game time he probably would have wanted here, as we have better / younger players who play where he does. Good luck Dale.

Oh I thought it was a [MENTION=5306]Questions[/MENTION] exclusive! Saying that I can’t find anything online about it from a media source:

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

A heavy one

 

[LamieRobertson]

With Biss suspended I’d say it was inconvenient right now

May have been me if you're talking about a Request A Bet from Sky on Twitter! They wouldn't play ball, unfortunately.
