Burnley fans react to club record capture of Robbie Brady
Published:Burnley have wrapped up the Deadline Day signing of midfielder Robbie Brady from Norwich City for a club record £13m.
The Republic of Ireland international has signed a three-and-a-half year deal at Turf Moor and it’s fair to say the Clarets faithful are pretty chuffed.
Sean Dyche’s men are playing Bournemouth this evening but the club couldn’t wait to reveal their news to excited supports.
Here’s how Burnley told their fans…
