Burch drops hint about his future being away from LN5

Rob Burch has dropped his biggest hint yet that he will be leaving Sincil Bank at the end of his current contract. Many fans noticed his unusual behaviour before, during and after the game at Barnet, but the goalkeeper has revealed it was because of a member of his family passing away, promising her that he would go as high as he could.
Burch had started the game at Barnet coming out looking up at the skies and reported stayed in the goal even after the game had finished, not moving until Paul Musselwhite went over to him. Many fans were curious what this meant, but Burch revealed to the Sun newspaper that it was because his grandmother had passed away two days earlier.
The goalkeeper has been linked with moves to numerous clubs, including Everton, Bolton, Burnley and Doncaster Rovers. The favourites for his signature would probably be Doncaster Rovers as Bolton and Burnley have changed managers, and Everton had a lot of back-up goalkeepers. The goalkeeper is out of contract in the summer and has been offered what has been described as the "biggest contract in the club's history."

Will I be annoyed with him for leaving, no but I will be disappointed to lose a good player.....but we are in 90th position in English football and if he has the chance to move to top 15.....who would blame him?
I would miss him at the Bank but he deserves to play at a higher level.
A signing that Peter Jackson got right????

With all fairness if Everton comes knocking, you are going to sign for them......depends what you want, Mazza just wanted to play and he did that. If you want to sign for a Premier League team, will you get your chance? John Ruddy and another, was it Iain Turner didn't play many games for Everton before being shipped out on loan and are just about forgotten now.

spot on post... Rhys & i will be gutted... he did a great job on saturday considering his sad loss x
Voted him player of the season last season can't he didnt get it nevermind not in the top 3.
A couple of my mates still dont rate him, I'm sure they must be watching a different player.
They reckon he still gets beaten too easily from distance ( can't remember that happening this season only been to the home games this season) and he's poor on crosses!
Good luck to him with dearth of English born players playing at the top who knows how far he could go.
If Joe Hart is England standard then heaven help us!
