Pleased for the lad... hope he continues
I've said many times, I don't think he is as good as Kiko, so IMO we have the correct number 1.
Ideally we'd of kept him as a number 2, but he wanted first team football, so fair play, well done BPF
Are you saying he joined Burnley to get first-team football?
More like a pay rise for him and some cash for us.

indeed, fair point Warwick
He’s gone to a club with a reputation for picking/producing top goal keeping talent, promoting from within where they can. With a well regarded gk coach. Looks like he’ll get plenty of international matches to keep him relevant. Watched the game v Germany, he was excellent. Looked a bit more solid than I remember, maybe he’s a bit stronger this year.
If he can do it in a European championship qualifier against a top side, maybe he’ll surprise a few Leeds fans. Wish him all the best.
We have a pretty good history of bringing through goal keeping talent (and in some cases letting them go such as Seaman). Unfortunately I don't think BPF will go on to be one of those such people and even if he was, is Abad the right coach to help the lad develop?
Absolutely shocking decision for him to join Burnley.
all the best to the kid. I hope he’s successful
I think they bought all of their "goalkeeping" talent?
Peacock-Farrell wanted first team football so he chose to warm a bench elsewhere for more money. His theatricals in the Summer didn't work out at ER.
I wish him well but as it stands he's punching above his weight in the top tier.
I said picking/producing Stevie. Have bought two relatively unheralded keepers in Heaton and (especially) pope and got them England caps. Must be doing something right.

totally agree Stevie
By the sound of it Meslier had a good game for the U23s against Palace. Not sure when we will see him play though.
Yep Lubo, saw highlights - he made a couple of cracking saves. Let’s hope he’s ready to step up if Kiko doesn’t deliver.
Meslier should be signed or sent back in Jan. Its wasting a loan spot which could be filled by someone who will actually play. If we want him, sign him.
