Lawrence Vigouroux in the Premier League

[KB1862]

I've kept my eye on Vigouroux for a few seasons now and what I've seen from him, I've been really impressed. Stepping up to the Premier League is a big step but moving to a newly promoted Burnley side might be a good move. 

Speaks volumes about his ability when he's been voted Orients player of the season 3 years in a row. That's impressive considering he's a goalkeeper.

I can’t say I have heard of him. I may have seen him play, but I just don’t remember. His story is one that I find interesting. Seeing a keeper get that big break, I hope he does well. If he plays as their first choice, it shows our nearest neighbours that you don’t have to throw transfer fees or wages at a keeper.

@Nocturnal-Magpie I reckon he could be their new number 1. They've had one or 2 GKs go out recently.

its a big step up and i think he is a decent keeper, i hope it works out for him because its a dream move for any player. if he does well, he may get an international call up.

He's a good keeper in the lower divisions, with better players he could really go on and do well. I can see it taking some time, but his potential has always been floating around. When Liverpool signed him, he was supposed to be the next best keeper, but they never persisted. He did well to drop down, to find a club where he could truly settle. At 29-years-old, this is his chance to shine.

I think if Burnley sticks with him and gives the time needed, he will come good.

[KB1862]

@Chris I think he will come good. GKs have the luxury of having prolonged careers so at the age he is he could go on in the Premier League for a while. If he can keep up his performances he shown at Orient, he'll be a hit but on the flip side of things having better players around him will he shine as much as he did at Orient. Not a criticism just you often see players stand out in certain teams cause they're seeing more action. 

[Chris]

Oh for sure, if he does well he will be able to continue for many years to come. Even if the move doesn't work out, he'll get picked up by another club probably in the Championship or League One. He's got a great chance to do something special at Burnley.

[KB1862]

Wish him all the best. It's great when a Premier League team takes chances on lower league players. I think he'll remain at that level or there abouts.

He’s a good keeper, and at 29, it’s the perfect age for him to make the step up. It depends on who’s in front of him, but Burnley is usually a good defensive team. He should do well with them.

Good luck to him. Sometimes players reach their potential later in life, and a good keeper can easily play until his late 30s. If he does well with Burnley, it will be pleasing to see how far he’s come in the game.
