He stated in the papers down here just before Coyle left late last year that he wanted out of Burnley because he believes many of the Prem clubs would want him. None of them have come in for him although Everton and Fulham kept being mentioned. Eagles thinks he is a world beater because he has played for Manure and seriously thinks he is the next Beckham. He is talented, but nowhere near good enough for his ego. If anybody in the Premier come in for him he will go even if it is Blackpool. He basically justs wants to be on TV.

Burnley fan and site editor here. Hope you are all well. I just wanted to put a few things straight, so that some of you will understand. Eagles is earning around £10k per week at Burnley and has we don't need to sell anybody although somebody mentioned that we were having a fire sale we would not sell him unless we got our money back which was close to £2million. The only reason we accepted the offer was because he is in his last year of his contract and has he has only been a bit part player he does not want to stay at Burnley. That will change if he starts playing regularly and we go back up to the Premier. He is only interested in playing in the Premiership, but he is not good enough. Well he is on his day, but he does not have many of them. Regarding the fire sale comment. Burnley are debt free and financially secure for many years due to our wage structure and the parachute payments that have doubled. We are getting rid of those players that are now classed as deadwood or coming to the end of their careers. We also have a new manager unfortunately and he is bringing in his own players and happy to offload some of Coyle's signings. A few of you mentioned Bolton would buy Eagles now. I doubt it. Coyle soon realised that he had spent money on a player that was not up to it and barely played him in the Premiership. However, on his day like I previously mentioned Eagles is a top player. If he can become more consistant, then he can be a quality top flight player has he is very very talented. I would suggest that you have avoided a bullet here lads unless he changes his ways.
