I hope that's sarcastic. It's laughable.

He gives me the impression that his weeks revolve around:

Football training - Nando's - Clothes shopping - Watching gangster films - Hip-hop music - Social media - Boozing - knobbing a porn star

I think I'm just jealous, a 23 year old me would have probably been a dick as well with that much money.
 



Lots of folk writing him off, but despite the fact he isn’t a typical target man I’m becoming more convinced he could be our version of Mitrovic.
To be clear he doesn’t play like him at all, isn’t physically imposing and doesn’t lead the line which is making this more and more interesting to me.
McBurnie likes to come deep, enjoys a physical battle and can hold the ball up so long as he’s got support to lay it off to. He isn’t going to be a Drogba who is a bartering ram, but he loves the physical stuff. I think you could get into his head about his need to bulk up and play a different type of game but he could be more than Mitrovic in our version of that role.
He needs the right players round him but there’s something to build from here if everyone delivers what’s needed from them.

If you have a Facebook account you can sign in using your FB id which is normally first name.second name.random number and your FB password.

Edit.
If you tap the 3 dots at the side of Add to Story in your profile you can view it, it's the last part of the web address that starts https

Nando's is overrated anyway.

It’s not a bad lifestyle...
 
I'm keen to see what Slav can do with Oli's mentality and focus, because I think that's all that's missing from his game.

Same goes for a lot of our squad actually, hopefully Big Slav can get in their heads and unlock some potential

I like that knobbing begins with a k. Did he? Who is she?

He definitely needs the right players around him for sure and he hasn't had that for the last 2 seasons.

IMO if we continue with 5-3-2 then McB continues to be a misfit......switch to 4-3-3 with pacey wide-men and then he will score goals. Look at his showreel from his time at Barnsley & Swansea, he doesn't score worldies, he doesn't take 3 players on before curling it round the keeper from just outside the box, he scores scruffy goals, powerful headers, bobblers off his knees......

5-3-2 has never and will never suit Oli, all the overlapping and recycling of the ball and looking for that perfect pass was never any good for his style. 4-3-3 with wide players bombing forward and whipping in crosses first time instead of stopping and turning backwards would be perfect for McB...

3-4-3, or 3-5-2 with an advanced midfielder could also work. It’s about the team mentality to get forward, and how the formation is setup rather than just the formation itself which is key to getting the best out of several players, not just McBurnie.

Completely agree and pace and early balls into the box are key for me......lost count of how many times George and Enda bomb up the flank only to turn back again and play the ball to RCB or LCB....

He’s another bugger I’ve tried to defend, when all the dissenting voices around me at the lane, wanted them gone. Been proved right on Rammers, still got a lot of faith in McBurnie, Brewster is still learning and Burke......I’ll get mi coat....
