Striking maestro, Robbie Blake, has today signed a 3 year deal to return to Burnley, the club where he scored 51 goals in 137 appearances. When Blake left Turf Moor just over two years ago, it was for a Burnley club record of £1.25m. The fee to cash-strapped Leeds is reported to be £250k plus appearance fees and a promotion bonus. |
Burnley manager Steve Cotterill is known to be a big fan of the creative striker and he moved quickly to sign him once he heard that he might be available. The signing is yet another step in the revival of the Lancashire team, that has followed the quiet boardroom revolution taking place since the appointment of Brendan Flood to Barry Kilby’s board. Robbie Blake joins the recently signed Albanian, Besart Berisha, high scoring Andy Gray, fit again Ade Akinbiyi and Northern Irish international Kyle Lafferty, to form what is probably the most lethal strike force in the Championship.

Robbie Blake is a great asset to the club. His influence on his team mates is awe-inspiring. His free kicks are so precise.

As Sky Sports News said on Saturday, on his day he’s probably the best player in the Championship.
