Signed by Burnley according to SSN
Makes sense, Burnley just sold Eagles to Bolton, so they needed a replacement left winger
They've been after him for a while apparently. Three previous offers rejected. Will have to keep an eye out for them this season with McCann back to fitness there as well.
Discussing personal terms at the club tomorrow, so nothing's final yet.
Good move for Treacy. More to come from him I think. A bit surprised Coyle didn't go after McCann. It may happen yet with Lee breaking his leg yesterday. Think McCann feels he owes Burnley something after all the injuries he had over the last year.
Signed on a 3 year deal with the Clarets for an undisclosed fee
Regarding McCann - he needs to stay injury free before Coyle comes back for him
If he plays then he may be on Boltons Xmas shopping list
McCann is captain at Burnley now by the way.Quote:

He's out of contract in the summer and owes us a string of glorious matchwinning performances to fire us to promotion. That's asking a lot, though ...

25 now and it's looking like Keith Treacy will be one of those Irish players who doesn't fulfill his potential. Still time, however brief, for that to change though.

5 consecutive starts for Keith Treacy for promotion chasing Burnley and he's playing for a new contract.
Compatriot, Kevin Long, hasn't made consecutive starts since he got a good run in the side at the beginning of the season.

Was at a dinner thing last summer where Allardyce was guest speaker.
He described Treacy as the most gifted player he'd ever had as a manager.
Unfortunately he has not always looked after himself properly.
I think the 2 year gap in his thread says enough.
Seeing as he's a free agent he should be able to get a contract elsewhere in this division or the next.
Still only 25, I thought he was older. Bag of potential, and hopefully whoever signs him can get the best out of him. With a better attitude, he could certainly play in the Premiership.
Just wait for Burnley to waste a squad place on a Florian Marange, Andreas Cornelius or Jose Campana standard of player now. Amazing that an International player with PL experience can't get a new contract at a club like Burnley as a squad player. Pity his name doesn't end in a vowel.
His name does end in a vowel. And it's quite clear that the reason he hasn't got a contract is that he's only been used as a substitute this season and they think they can get a better player in his place.Quote:

In most cases, yeah. In Treacy it is.
depends on it's placement in the word.
Pub quiz question - name four words where "y" is the vowel (no googling)
A bit like apostrophes.Quote:

Edit: Does 'by' count as a word?
A far as I know, Y is a vowel when it's not at the beginning or end of a word. Myth, hymn and scythe all count. There's loads more, but the four I'm thinking of have no other vowels. Hymn and myth are two.
Yes. It's any sound where you constrict your throat to say it, so yellow, yoke, beyond, yank, etc.Quote:

It's a semivowel.

rhythm is another. just one left. Fairly common word actually.
Wymyn.
'Gypsy'?
Wy Wylly Fryzyr
very good, it's not the one I'm thinking of, but we're done now - myth, rhythm, hymn, and gypsyQuote:

I refuse to accept that it's a vowel of any type and I don't care what t'internet says.
That new chick that replaced Carol Vorderman: whoar.
New? Riley?Essex? She has been there ages. BUt yes stutts, brains and beauty, and maths brains, what more do you need? Grande Tetas, well ye got that too Stutts.
new = since I stopped watching regularly around 1991
Transpires there are quite a few: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English..._vowels#With_yQuote:

In English, the letter 〈y〉 can represent either a vowel or consonant sound, and a large number of Modern English words spell the /ɪ/ and /aɪ/ sounds with 〈y〉, such as sky, spy, shy, fry, fly, why, dry, try, tryst, gym, hymn, lynx, lynch, myth, wyrm, myrrh, rhythm, pygmy, gypsy, flyby, crypt, nymph, and syzygy which are vowels in this case. The longest dictionary words (base forms excluding plurals) are rhythm, spryly, sylphy and syzygy. The longest such word in common use is rhythms, and the longest such word in Modern English is the obsolete 17th-century word symphysy. If archaic words and spellings are considered, there are many more, the longest perhaps being twyndyllyngs, the plural of twyndyllyng meaning "twin".
Twyndyllyngs is a fantastic word.
