I was worried the usual suspects wouldn't get a chance to slag McBurnie off given he couldn't be blamed for the last game. Must be a relief this opportunity arose.
 
If Mcburnie scores what are we prepared do 🤔🤔 1. Show your arse on city hall steps 2. Buy a chicken balti pie in the ground. 3 like every post Fallowfield does between now and the end of the season 🤔🤔 answer on a postcard 🙈

Where's the fictional £13.5m come from then?
The figures I remember were £17-18m up front, rising to £20m with add-ons. I would imagine half of the add-ons were incurred when we survived in the PL.


Wilder himself referenced that he cost £20m.
The same people love to convince us that Ramsdale only cost £12m, another nonsense theory.

I may be wrong it’s probably somewhere in between

Doesn’t matter if he cost £250 million or £100k from rotheram 🤷‍♂️

It doesn’t matter anymore because his value now FB is nearer the £100k but for a team like ours to spend £20 million on a player to turn out like this is so very depressing. He’s totally without any talent. And although you back him to the hilt for whatever reason all I see is an amount of money we’ve never seen the like of before spent on a player that is a league 2 player at best. Not his fault no but for us fans really annoying.
 
I'd genuinely love him to score a load of goals and get us promotion but it isn't going to happen.

Let's look at his key contributions so far this season.... he's scored zero league goals, he fouled his own player when they were through on goal, he's headed the ball onto his shoulder or harmlessly over the bar numerous times, he's kicked the ball into his own face, he regularly falls over like a scene from platoon rather than actually trying to attack the ball and score, he's given 100s of niggly girly fouls away, he's been regularly injured or self isolating and he's scuffed practically every shot he's had like he's wearing flip flops. Even Scotland have stopped picking him because he's as bad for them.

Jebbo was poor last game but still offered glimpses of ability, so if Billy is out I'd give him a run of games rather than mcburnie and get him ready for next season in the championship
 
Cant see there'll be much chance we can move him on in the summer. So must likely he'll sign a pre contract agreement with Rangers next January.

Are they not both injured though, so actually a good call / fortuitous?

they were both shit. Burke is just crap and Moose has real issues that aren't acceptable in proffesional football. 4 injured forwards in 2 months is just bad luck

Unless he picks up a last minute injury or another mysterious illness, he'll start tomorrow.
If he has another poor game and we lose, things could get very nasty.

He probably is , he is now worth considerably less of course the same as all the big money signings we made

Maybe we are the problem for signing a player for doing X then asking the said player to do Y

Then us as fans saying why is said player not doing X when we are asking him to do Y

I will back him just like I have Brewster/Berge/Bogle as they are by far the most talented players we have signed in 10/20 years so yes they should be backed

You're confusing slagging off with fact. He's starting tomorrow night, unless he cries off again, so let's see what he brings to the party.

Cheer like fk

And hope he scores lots more abs helps us to the playoffs at least - we need him
 
I don’t hate mcburnie and I want him to do well. I want him to be a blades legend like Billy. BUT. Compare his attitude and Billy’s attitude. There’s a reason one is a massive success and one isn’t.

He’s having an awful time of things and you could (probably with justification) argue it’s more circumstantial and isn’t totally his fault, just like with Billy in 2008. But again. Look at Billy’s attitude throughout that period compared To Mcburnie’s now.

It’s annoying to be honest.
 
The goal he scored in the cup against Southampton was outstanding and I was hoping that would have made him kick on. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to be a professional off the pitch. They go on about it being a short career etc but that is ever the reason to put the work in. I do question the work ethics of him why do you need to be away with the lads at Swansea etc when there is plenty of time for that when you are 35 and retired.
 
I have way too much blind faith in that man. Every game he starts I go into it thinking this is the game which kicks start everything for him and end up leaving thinking how have we been robbed of £20m

Every game he plays I feel like not watching, it's a real downer to see his name on the team sheet.

Really hoping he comes good tonight but I just can't see us scoring with him in the side

I might have had a few in fannies and the barrell last Saturday, but I had a great (by football standards) steak pie chips and gravy last Saturday.

There was good gravy thickness, some meat in the pie, and the fries soaked the gravy up OK.

Best chicken balti pie is Oldham..
