DcFc Dyycheee Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I swear I seen someone say Lee Grant was one of Burnley's best players this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Very interesting, about a month ago no-one would have predicted a new keeper would top the list of potential signings. Always liked Grant in his spell with us, hopefully has grown in confidence and stature. If it's true it would certainly fit the 'experienced' quality Championship label being banded around. Doubt it'll be tomorrow though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think he will sign tomorrow but we can do what Birmingham have done with that Scottish lad. Announce that an agreement has been made ie a pre contract. We will have to wait and see tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 What's wrong with Lego? He's alright. It's not him losing his man and leaving easy chances. The man that does that a lot will be POTY soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Would we have to sign 2 keepers then? If Fielding AND Lego were to leave? Or would Saul Deeney be our second keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Morch? Very highly rated To add, he's been Burnleys best player behind Austin this season. I've been told he's coming number 2 in their poty listings. He's a brilliant keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 if it was him and morch, and then lego and fielding both sold what sort of fee would we be looking at for the two £1.5-£2 for the pair?? would certainly give some funds to strengthen if they arent planning on selling hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I always thought Clough was happy with the two keepers overall but perhaps contract situations and interest from other clubs has changed the thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Burnley fans can't stnd him, must adit I'm quite put off by him nowadays, I did rate him when he was first here though. these ones seem able to stand him: http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&fid=297&sty=2&act=1&mid=2112966172&page=1 "probably the best we've had in my time watching" "consistently excellent performances from Jason Shackell and Lee Grant" "Emergence of Lee Grant as our clear No.1.keeper." "The emergence of a back 5 of Grant, Trips, Long Shackell and Mee/Lafferty which (if Grant resigned) is a viable unit at this level for the foreseeable future" "The excellent form of Grant this season and the absence of shouts of "Beast"."

DcFc Dyycheee Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 We'll be lucky to get 300k for both Fielding and Legzdins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Note "This season." In recent years he has not been in favour with them, he is not great with crosses and though a decent shot stopper, he's not a great organiser either. It's something they get on his back for. This one would seem a tad underwhelming when we have decent shot stoppers in Fielding and Legdzins to suit our purposes, but if Clough thinks he's a better option than those two then fair enough.

eranio20 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Swapping and changing keepers, each season, what's the point? Fielding is five years younger than Grant, not reached his peak yet and now because he lacks an agility (or two) we flog him. Why don't we put our coaches to use and actually improve the lad? He was gonna be a future England international at one point according to some on here, what went wrong? Legzdins is another, people raved about him earlier in the season and now a 30 year old ex rams player is much better? Jesus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Interested to read another post on their forum: 'Strikers you would like us to look at next season James Vaughan - been on fire at Huddersfield on loan Jose Baxter - Another former Everton youngster who has also been a shining light in a team down the bottom Paddy Madden - Fantastic record at Yeovil Sylvan Ebanks Blake - Out of contract at Wolves and recovering from injury. Plenty of goals at this level. Definitely won't move above the championship. Kevin Doyle - Not as unrealistic as it may have been two or three seasons ago. Will Grigg - Good record at Walsall and out of contract this summer'. A familiar sounding list eh?! Going back to the subject, i'd prefer Fielding out of him, Legzdins and Grant - doesn't have the height but agile and evokes more confidence in his general demeanour, which is important for this position.

abertawe_ram Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't really have a problem with either of the keepers at the moment and I like the fact that they give each other competition. The only reason I could see for shuffling the goalies would be to save some money/generate some for use elsewhere in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I could see for shuffling the goalies would be to save some money/generate some for use elsewhere in the squad They are both distinctly average with not a lot to choose between them, if it were a case of choosing between a Shilton and a Clemence I could see your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd be very happy if we got Grant back. At 30 he is in his prime as a keeper. An experienced keeper would help the back 4 to be more solid generally, its not just the saves he makes I'd let Frankie go, but I'd like to keep Legzdins. I think he is a young keeper with considerable potential for improvement and you need 2 good keepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't a warning for suggesting someone may or may not be racist on here, however, it's documented that Burnley is a town with lots of intolerant (to other races) inhabitants. My cousin is good mates with Granty and says he's been racially abused oop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 We'll be lucky to get 300k for both Fielding and Legzdins. We paid about 750k for them both! I'd take a Million for the both of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
