MaVilla Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 fans on the Burnley forum are saying they should demand 10/15/20m for Heaton......at 33 years old. The transfer market is cuckoo.....(and expectations of value) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Wasn't that Joe Hart in the video? Also, I don't know any Burnley fans, nor do I know anybody that knows any. Where do you find them? Edited July 9, 2019 by Mazrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent reflexes, commands his six yard box well and can organise a back 4. He does pick up injuries though but then that will give Jed some games in premier league.

John Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If we can get him for £7m-10m and Stoke won't accept any bid for Butland of under £25m, then I can see why we would move onto Heaton. If as I suspect Burnley will want more than that, then moving from our original target looks increasingly less appealing, with each extra million Burnley ask for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It's Joe Hart in goal in the video, Heaton is to the left hand side wearing the gloves, but obviously the video could be from a day or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Burnley's form significantly improved when he replaced Hart, half way through the season. More than adequate for the next season or 2 whilst we strengthen heavier in more urgent areas and are then in a position to spunk big money in a proper long term fix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_jW Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Would rather we went for Butland, if i'm honest, but 25m is a lot to splurge on a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 50/50 I think in that video? And I think all the ones where he palms it back into the box are the harder close range saves where he didn't have much option. Maybe question him a bit on the Eriksen save. All the other saves are incredible. Edited July 9, 2019 by KentVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Numberwang time! During the 19 games Heaton was in goal, in terms of conceding, Burnley were closer to Champions League chasing teams then they were to relegation candidates - Man City 8 Liverpool 15 Everton 17 Spurs 21 Newcastle 22 Man Utd, Chelsea 23 Wolves 24 Arsenal, Leicester 26 Burnley, West Ham 27 Palace 28 Southampton 30 Cardiff 31 Watford 32 Brighton 33 Bournemouth 37 Fulham 38 Huddersfield 42 For comparison purposes, in the 19 games Heaton didn’t play, Burnley were ranked 19th for goals conceded, conceding 41 - 2 fewer than Fulham. The next worst was Cardiff with 38. Just for a further comparison, West Ham, who Burnley matched in the second half of the season with 27 goals conceded, had 28 goals in the against column during the first half of the season. So while West Ham were fairly consistent throughout, Burnley noticeably improved defensively in the second half of the season.

HalfTimePost Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Heaton is a decent goalkeeper. For 8m or less its not poor business. Some positions are going to need experience. This is obviously one Smith wants experience in. It's a little uninspiring but it's fine. He'll be alright for a few seasons. He's not going to set the world alight but we won't be exposed with him. It's ok. Can't have 20m players or inexperienced unknown players from abroad everywhere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
