It really has. Burnley have the look of a side who could be midtable next season too, not struggling to avoid coming straight back down.
And yet midfield still seems to be a problem area for us. I guess it's more balance than anything else really. Cullen, Knight and Hendrick as a group just seems too lightweight. But that's Cullen's fault least of all. Maybe Molumby's settled down enough to be a proper option again
To be fair you might have been right in a roundabout way but had the move not happened he might never have made that breakthrough instead hanging a career on championship or league 1. Lets see how the next couple of seasons go and come back to it againQuote:

Burnley finally crowned champions tonight away to Blackburn. Will be great to see Cullen playing in the PL next season.
Josh Cullen has been awarded both Burnley FC's Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season for the 2022/23 campaign in his first season in Claret & Blue. Shows the season he's had, even better he'll be playing at Premier League level next season. Big bonus for ROI.

Burnley have just signed Sander Berge. Hopefully it's to play alongside Cullen rather than to replace him - but it feels a bit worrying.
Also worrying for John Egan. Apart from Egan, Berge was the only Premier League level player they had, having already lost Ndiaye earlier in the summer - along with the two Man City kids they had on loan last year (Doyle and McAtee).
Basically losing 4 of their 5 best players and adding just one senior player, a centre back who might be a good signing (Trusty from Arsenal) and 3 kids, one playing in denmark, one in sweden and one signed from the second division in France (who does have a bit about him in fairness)
To say Sheffield United look like they're going down is an understatement. Was thinking about it this morning before the Berge news and reckoned they needed between 5 and 7 good signings, basically across the pitch.
Berge is more box to box compared so likely bought to partner Cullen in midfield. Could also play him in the role that Cullen plays but to get the best out of him you'd partner him with a player like Cullen.
Cullen has missed the last three pre-season matches, and looks unlikely to feature on Friday against Manchester City.
That could be a blessing in disguise for Cullen if the team gets a harsh welcome to the Premiership from Manchester City.
Starts today along with Dara O'Shea.
As expected. Was talking to Gary Neville and the team on Sky Sports earlier.
Signs a new three year deal.
Only on the bench today after suspension….
Starts tonight.
Difficult season, but suggestions of his career being in free fall are perhaps a little overstated.
Still an important player for us, I think.
Another start today away to West Ham. He's notably kept his place in the side despite Josh Brownhill's suspension being over. Playing out of his skin so far, Burnley up 2-0 at the half.
