Not at all, my point is that for a £17.5mil striker I expect more from. More goals. Consistency. I expect him to at least finish in the top ten goalscorers at the end of the season.
He's scored 26 goals in 5 season, of which half came in one season in the Championship where this total was average at best. The prior season he didn't score at all, in fact I'm sure he had gone an entire calendar year without scoring. One swallow doesn't make summer.
Overall he has been a failure of a signing. I accept that we're likely going to be stuck with him as we won't have the money to bring in a reliable goalscorer, unless we bring someone else in on loan. He's the best we've got and he's an average Championship striker at best.
Look at Brereton-Diaz in comparison. Despite some glaring misses, he was far more reliable as a goalscorer than McBurnie and less injury prone.
Apologies if I don't accept mediocrity as the normal standard.
One day McBurnie will leave and it will either be for a lower fee than we paid for him, or when he's out of contract. Once more it will be another expensive loss.
