I don't think it has ever been about the success of his club. I doubt he gives a stuff how burnley are doing. Is he going to think "damn look Burnley have reached the blistering heights of 10th in the PL, i'm gutted"?
He wants a few seasons earning a PL wage, as soon as possible, wherever that...
The only villains here are Burnley. Like others have said, i'm sure they could have had him weeks/months ago if they had matched the asking price.
They tried to get a bargain and it backfired. They have now paid 10.5m for a lesser player, in my opinion.
Dale is obviously pissed off, I wouldn't...
Dunk and Knockaert are already worth more than Stephens. Stephens offers more of a goal threat than Kayal.
