Hi Stegosaurus

It's a bad sign that the club is in dead lumber when we can't even keep hold of our top scorer. Doesn't bode well at all that our best players are leaving in droves.

26 goals in 5 years

That’s an average of 5 goals a season

He’s had more cards than goals - 27

If all our strikers were fit, he’d be 4 choice behind Moore, Brewster, Osula.

Best player my arse soppy bollox

Hi Stegosaurus here,

True. You can tell a team is poor when McBarndoor is considered one of their stars.

Hello Stegosaurus,

A dinosaur should know a dinosaur when it sees one.

He was not and will never be a star, for any team, including us.

"Info" from the same chap who told us on deadline day that Berge was 100% off to Club Brugge.

All the noises suggested with him just having his first child he wanted to be settled with his partner...so he's off to set up shop on a rock off the coast of Morocco so he can lose at the Bernabeu and Camp Nou in front of 130 away fans for a season?

Could happen, but I'm sceptical.

Plus, he'll burn like a bitch.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Does he follow them on social media yet?

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

probably same person who scouted grbic for us

That was Helen Keller.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

They way recruitment is going then I think the team setup will be perfect for Bladesballer to thrive this season. Wouldn't surprise me if he got well into double figures and achieved a good few assists as well

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

End of the day he was brought in to score goals and he didn’t. He was bought as a goal scorer, he didn’t score goals.

We need to buy a goal scorer, a real one.

Barca, either Madrid sides - most definitely!
Seville, Betis, Bilbao, Valencia - yep, certainly!
Girona, Villareal, Vigo, Mallorca - go on then!
Elche, Getafe Las Palmas etc. - not so sure!

Given the limited tv money in Spain (big 2 aside) I would be surprised if they could gazump Utd. Mind you, I thought the same about Baldock's move to Athens.

Given the choice of a mediocre contract with us, or a mediocre contract in the sun, I know what I'd choose in McB's position, and it's not us

Fair point Westran. Tbh unless you're joining Utd from AFC Mogadishu or Atletico Gaza, nobody is going to be attracted to Sheff city centre and particularly Shirecliffe

The ones who got us relegated you mean?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

This is what the sun says with a little bit of detail I haven't seen elsewhere re his agents

I am guessing the "triple his wages" was from the Saudis!

Ex-Prem striker McBurnie 'rejects chance to triple salary' to seal dream move

OLI MCBURNIE has rejected a triple his money move in order to seal a switch to Las Palmas. The striker is a free agent after leaving Sheffield United at the end of the season. McBurnie’s cont…

Agreed - below average at best

 

[Rocket Man]

Replacement - Ike Ugbo (Player Suggestion)

 

[Captain Obvious]

Got a feeling this will be best for all parties. Did we really want a front line of Moore and McBurnie?! We need some pace, strength and composure at the top of the pitch, not someone whose best attribute is defending corners. I think we can do better.

 

[Donnyblade]

He's not even 5th choice striker for Scotland! Glad to see him off the wage bill.

Well f off to grand canaries then

 

[petcharlie]

He was alright defending corners but was never a good striker

 

[Crabstick]

McB has never been a goal scorer for us but he's always had great link-up play and strength moving the ball forward in the final third. I think he'll be missed

 

[MosboroughBlade]

Let's hope he learns to trap a ball/shoot and run properly whilst over there. UTB

 

[Aston max]

Let me think, dreary winters in Sheffield or 3 years in gran canaria ???
And buy a nice villa for the future ??

Gone to get a Villa.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Big loss losing McBurnie, and I ain't his biggest fan, in fact, I detested him.

This paragraph completely sums up this forum and the pond life that inhabit it. So you actually detested, not disliked, detested one of our own players? Well played you. No wonder the Lane is like a library on match days.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Funny how everyone seems to not rate him at all suddenly, I do and wished he'd still been in our squad this season
