Burnley boss Sean Dyche says there's no hard feelings over Tom Heaton's move to Aston Villa.
The move raised a few eyebrows with the 33-year-old ending last season as Burnley's No.1.
His departure saw Bailey Peacock-Farrell drafted in from Leeds to bolster the goalkeeping ranks with Nick Pope playing every minute in the Premier League so far this campaign.
I treat all these players like they're my own family members, I try and be as good with my guidance as I would be with my own children," Dyche told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
I think it's important, they become important to you over time, Tom is certainly one of those. I don't do favourites, apart from Tripps (Kieran Trippier), everybody knows that!
He was my first signing, an important signing, but he's a top fella on and off the pitch, I like him as a person and professional.
There will always be a business decision here though, every pound is a prisoner, that's just the way it is.
Behind that, we have got very good goalkeepers. I believe in Nick Pope, quite obviously, I believe in Joe Hart and young Bailey has joined the group and done very well so far.
There is a method to the planning of it, but there often comes a time when a deal gets done here.
With Tom, it worked on every level, and on the one that's hard to find, an emotional level, because I can shake Tom by the hand, look him in the face, he's happy, I'm happy, and there's no thinking on who's won, everyone has won."
