Probably, but then didn't they (and others) also want Nmecha? I suppose it's slightly different with him being a young player whereas the Heaton move might well be down to financials, and they might well want him back playing in front of big crowds and someone who is pushing towards the top of the league.
I think Villa were also interested, which isn't a surprise as their current man is woeful.

We cant compete with the likes of Leeds or Villa... You wouldn't blame Heaton for going to either of those clubs ahead of us !

Sign, but yeah when it came to Nmecha, we did.
I would have thought we could compete with Villa on a short term loan deal. He is probably settled up here and may not fancy the M6 to Birmingham every day. However Burnley to Leeds is no different than Burnley to Preston so think we'd lose out there.

If you check Google Maps (driving). Burnley to Leeds training ground is 1hr 48ins and to Springfields is 49 mins. Quite a difference!!

That's assuming Heaton lives in Burnley. Which I highly doubt.

That’ll be thread closed then. And a sad indictment of the position we’re in.
A lot depends on whether he’d be getting regular football. Leeds keeper Peacock-Farrell looks a great prospect to me.

Isn't Ripley on a season long loan at Accrington Stanley?

Would be sorry to see Maxwell go.
No idea who Ripley is.
Connor Ripley son of Rovers winger who won Premiership with Rovers and still lives locally. On Middlesbrough s books but currently loaned out to Accrington Stanley. Some fans seem to think him a possible target just because he’s from round these parts.
