Burnley closer to Easton move


BURNLEY are believed to be closing in on Hamilton Academical left back Brian Easton, after Wolves hijacked their bid to sign team-mate James McCarthy.

The Clarets were ready to offer £800,000 for 21-year-old Easton, a week after the Scottish Premier League side revealed the Premier League newcomers had made an enquiry for McCarthy.

The 18-year-old midfielder now seems unlikely to be heading to Turf Moor after Championship title winners Wolves offered £1million up front and the same figure again in add-ons.

But Easton is open to a move to East Lancashire.

“I’m thrilled that Burnley are interested in me,” said the Scotland Under 21 international.

“I don’t know what will happen but the chairman, Ronnie MacDonald, has always said that if a big move came up he would not stand in my way.

“There have been a lot of lads heading south recently, Steven Fletcher being the latest last week when he went to Burnley.

“It’s every player’s dream to play at the highest level.”

Meanwhile, former Paris Saint Germain striker Fabrice Pancrate was expected to join up with the squad for training today after travelling from France for a trial.

Easton sounds like a good and hungry player. I think Brian Laws should grow up a bit, he can get someone into Wednesday that can do well, in the meantime let us speak to Marcus Tudgay.

I'm sure this fella will set the Premier League alight...NOT!!

Once again, a third-rate no-mark that no one has heard of outside Hamilton.

The fact that you haven't heard of him just exposes your ignorance and lack of knowledge. Sometimes its better to let us think you are an idiot rather than prove it to us time after time!

Wha I do know is that the the players recently signed by Burnley are not Premier League standard, and will be found out when the season kicks off.The gulf between the Championship and the Prem is huge, and some no-mark from Hamilton is gonna struggle like hell amon the big boys.

Oh midas it must be embarrassing when we're associated with £10m players and the Dingles are going for sweat unknowns and reserve players. Your posts stink of jealousy and are probably driven by the inevitability that the players you've signed are not upto premier league standard.

Going down and not just on your sisters

The joke that is BNPley FC just gets funnier by the minute:

Floody's ridiculous comments, the "coyle" pie saga, the pictures of the disgraceful shambolc t*rd and the continuing hunt for 3rd rate players from Scotland.

You could'nt make this up!!!

Oh no. Until now I was convinced Rovers would stuff the Dingles twice and send them back down where they belong. But now they're closing in on Hamilton Accies left back, Man U and Chelsea will be sh1tting themselves.

You poor deluded foos, not only do we have nothing to be jealous of, jealous of Man Utd perhaps, but Rovers! exactly what do we have to be jealous about?

This season is win win for us. Nobody expects us to stay up, so if we go down its as expected. If we stay up its great but for us its just exciting times. we are all very happy with the signings we are making, we can see the promise that the future holds etc.

Rovers on the other hand have delusions of grandur, haven't signed anyone of note and have little to look forward to.

Bit disappointed that we haven't signed anyone with decent level of experience so far. The board need to be a bit more ambitious and back the manager otherwise the likes of Jason Scotland will always end up elsewhere.

Let's not let this great opportunity slip away

This is too easy Midas!
Winning is the one thing you wont be doing, not once and certainly not twice. Enjoy your relegation season, you've earned it.

And what makes you so sure you won't be "enjoying" a relegataion season n*b head? Mighty raaaawwwwvvveeers were only confirmed in the Prem a month before the end of the season. Bet you can't wait for Burnley to come to fleewood, be the first time that the Darwen empty has been full since last time we came, but this time we'll leave with the points..Your hardly a force to be reconned with are you? How many turd foreigners have you in your squad? Seriously must be approaching 20?

Rovers are an established Premier League side, Dingles only scraped into the Prem by the play-offs. Rovers have established premier standard players, Dingles have Chumpionship players with a sprinkling of Scottish 3rd rate nobodies.
CLARET82...GOING DOWN........!!!!
