Blackburn And Burnley Vying For Imps' Star?

26th November 2009

One Lincoln City FC player could soon be a Premiership player according to a national newspaper report.

Today's edition of The Sun claims that Lancashire duo Blackburn Rovers and Burnley are watching Imps' goalkeeper Rob Burch.

Despite it only being November, 25-year-old Burch is odds on favourite to be named as Lincoln City FC's Player of the Season after his displays have single-handedly either gathered points or more likely, prevented heavier defeats this season. The goalkeeper joined Lincoln in July 2008 after being released by Sheffield Wednesday; he had the difficult task of replacing fans' favourite Alan Marriott but he has managed to achieve this despite initial scepticism from supporters.

Burch has made 70 first team appearances for Lincoln, many of which have seen man-of-match performances. To lose Burch will be a huge blow for The Imps in their battle to avoid relegation. However, a nice sized fee could see new manager Chris Sutton able to strengthen his squad with a few additions; so it is pros and cons for the club.
