Looks like Matt is off to Burnley as Trippiers replacement, with a medical on Monday.

A good deal for us, get some money back before next summer when his contract is up.

A great goal against Stoke I'll remember him for. Overall not top division quality but a few memorable moments. Good luck Matt!

Good luck Matthew, thanks for Stoke.

I must say I am happy with the rate that Sherwood is getting rid of the players who aren't good enough for us.

Which means we must have at least a little money to spend or he wouldn't be culling the squad.

It's easier to sell the likes of Weimann and Lowton than the likes of N'Zogbia and Bent before him. Much younger and on wages that others can afford.

With Lowton we made a small profit on him by the sounds of it.

Good crosser of the ball and goals like we saw against Stoke, but defensively too poor for the top division.

Wish him all the best!

Not just the goal against Stoke, also the one against Swansea. Not to mention the sharp interception and inch perfect cross field pass in the Sunderland game that Weimann controlled expertly before putting us back in the lead.

At times in the first season he looked promising enough to really push on. Shame about the nonsense over his wife wanting to live at home. maybe he'll regret it or maybe he will knuckle down at Burnley and make a bit of a name for himself.

Out of memory from reading the Sheff Utd accounts we paid £2m+ for Lowton, so we've made a £1m loss.

Shame. His display in the 6-1 Sunderland game was superb.  Thought he did ok filling in at LB last season . We haven't lost a big wad of cash on him unlike some others.
Best of luck to him.

A player who never looked like he believed in his ability, also a little light weight.
Very close to being a very good player. Hope he does well.

The press reported that it was £2m and then somebody quizzed someone in his family who promptly laughed and said it was more like £700k.

He was fantastic in the Sunderland 6-1 game. If he played like that consistently he would be some player.

Lambert was telling lies and deliberately understating all of his transfer fees.

The family member was wrong, the Sheffield accounts say it was over £2m. They sold 2 players of any value that summer and got nearly £4m for them, one was Stephen Quinn the other was Lowton.  I looked up the accounts being a saddo during one of the many Lambert transfer fee discussions.

In that case, that's disappointing.

I liked him, thought he was unlucky to be dropped from LB last season as he had played pretty well there. And everyone who was at Stoke will always love him. Absolutely mental celebrations in the away end.
