    [Albion] Stephens to Burnley (deal now confirmed)

    I actually think he fit quite well, excellent passing and tactical awareness. He is more playmaker than workhorse in my opinion.

    [Albion] Stephens to Burnley (deal now confirmed)

    Yes you are sort of right if we only look at 15 or so of the PL clubs. The two involved teams in this transfer are affected though. And nearly every other club in Europe as well.

    You wont get much more for a 31 year old player with nine months left on the contract, during a pandemic heavily affecting the transfer market.

    I've always been the "Adam Lallana is better than Gary Gardner" type of guy your mama used to warn you about

    [Albion] Stephens to Burnley (deal now confirmed)

    From what I saw from Burnley today he would improve their team a lot. Too many alibi players and no leadership.

    How far is it from Brighton to Burnley? Maybe we can follow his flight. Or bus ride. Or send out Mouldy to follow his car.
