Mcburnie

[Champagneblade]

I appreciate you might not have read every thread, but it’s been clarified about a million times that in the Championship there aren’t any limits on how many loan players you can have, just on how many can be in your match day squad (five).

If we played Gilchrist, Souttar, JRS and McBurnie (should he come on loan), we’d still have another loan spot available for the match day squad.

I thought loans from overseas didn't count as loans. They count as taking over their registration.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

What a surprise.

Doesn’t score enough, often injured.

What the hell is wrong with Wilder? What next, a new deal for Brewster?

Beggars belief our height of ambition if reports believed are 2 ageing injury prone strikers.

I can’t find anything that suggests that’s the case. There’s a good breakdown of the rules here:

What are the EFL squad rules for 2024/25? Loanee limits, home grown players and how many subs are allowed

Championship, League One and League Two clubs have rules to follow about their squads and who they can pick on a matchday

This will be a big disappointment

I think you take what you can get in the JTW and they're probably the best of what will be available.

 

[Frank the tank]

No no and no In that order

Real indictment on you Tony_Kaufman that your posts are mirroring a pig on the wind up

 

[1889]

Ah yes, just like when Brereton-Diaz came on loan

Clearly tells you all you need to know…

Those against it would be happy if he signed for Burnley or Leeds right?

I don’t know about everyone else, but I would!

 

[Frank the tank]

Anyone who wouldn't want him back is a fucking idiot

 

[Wright1889]

I'm pretty active on here, and waste many an hour sifting through the same threads but I must have missed that. I'm sure even Wilder mentioned he had 2 remaining. Jimmy Ramble mentions it all the time.
That's fair enough then, that does change things.

2 Domestic loans left, can get from abroad though!

 

[Booker4]

I'd take Mcburnie back a heartbeat. We've got absolutely nowt off the bench at present. Mcburnie would be a really good signing and would add a lot to this team. I'd imagine he'd definitely choose us over any other championship teams.

 

[john Mathison]

Now that makes sense. BBD and big Mac. Still need two CBs.

 

[Frank the tank]

Almost right lad, almost

 

[Le Cynique]

Nope. We can have as many loanees as we like, we can only have five in the matchday squad though. Look at the link I posted earlier.

 

[FriethBlade]

Anyone who doesn't think McB as a minimum strengthens our bench is crazy.

We've got One, Marsh and Blacker on the bench ffs. Wilder clearly doesn't think any of them are yet good enough for the first team as he's not using them (apart from a couple of One cameos) despite Campbell being injured and Brewster being shite!

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

yes i hope BIG MAC returns he will bring more bite to the great young blades team..utb..

we need him back to keep winning he will help young lads out they need experienced additions to get us over the line..sign super mac and ben diaz ,thankyou board...utb..

 

[South Sea Blade]

Signing McB as a 6 month foreign loan makes absolutely perfect sense.... anybody thinking different needs there head examining. I wonder who these people think is a realistic option, if not him .

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Mcburnie improves this team without a doubt

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Now that makes sense. BBD and big Mac. Still need two CBs.

And a central midfielder or two depending on Souza
Peck and especially Davies struggled today

 

[Gin&Juice]

Kind of sad he hasn’t settled if his agents drumming up interest. Looks like he’s a great time on social media.

Wouldn’t say no, but I’d have thought Wilder would be looking to bring in players who are going to improve and make the step up.

If it’s a loan, then i’m all for it!

 

[1973Blade]

Would Moore agree that Mcburie could play number nine, because we need a new song otherwise.

 

[McGrath]

They played together at Barnsley. I think McBurnie played on the left of an attacking three

 

[LudlamBlade]

Huge gamble using a loan spot on a player who spent more time injured than playing when he was here before!

Class player and a real asset at this level when fit.

When fit.

 

[FredZeppelin]

If we intend to play slow, negative, shit-housing football for the rest of the season then McBurney is perfect!
I mean, he was fucking crap when he was here, fooled people into thinking he worked harder than he actually ever did with his scruffy, downtrodden appearance, hardly scored or assisted, and spent his fair share of time injured or suspended.
So yeah, what a fucking brilliant 'Sheffield United-type' signing he'd be at this stage. Just what we need to really stand still and stagnate.
God forbid we go for someone with a bit of pace, ambition, and a bit to prove. No, we'll stick to this idiot who, for some reason, is idolised by posters on here for robbing a fucking living from us for years.
Go on, quote me all his huge successes in a blades shirt....how he 'lead the line' so wonderfully for years....how he identified with the fans on social media....we love it, don't we.
Sign this fucking buffoon again and we don't deserve promotion. Rely on him and we certainly won't get it. We already have the laughing stock that is Brewster, we don't need another one to carry.

[jono_t2000]

How can we be considering re-signing someone who just jogs around the pitch and is always way behind the game play.

His career at Las Palmas went exactly as I predicted, started off ok before fizzling out into nothingness

If we bring McBurnie back I would honestly give up on the notion that we are a forward thinking progressive club.

Who’s your pacy, ambitious with something to prove suggestion, that’s achievable?
I’m more than happy to listen to alternates to someone who got 13 goals last time he was in this league.

 

[Snowflake]

Does it not depend on the cost and the terms required by his current club ? Perhaps that needs examining rather than our heads.

 

[Snowflake]

Does the same also apply for BBD then if he’s available?
As ever UTB !

…or any other player who is available in January ?

Probably, like you, I don't have the answer to that question as, definitely, like you I'm not a football expert with an encyclopaedic knowledge of just who is available and affordable and would consider coming to United. No one on here does.

Unike you, and quite a few others on here, I'm just not going to seemingly lazily settle and be happy to just regurgitate the same tool that flatters to deceive, slows play down and, in general, makes us less athletic and a less potent team whenever he plays. That's my opinion. I've watched him in a Blades shirt for all the years he was here and was glad when he finally left.

The teams at the top are more fluid, quicker and more potent going forward at the moment than we are. Granted that burnley seem to play more on the counter-attack but the way to get promotion now is, in my opinion, to fucking 'go for it with pace and endeavour' whenever we can, not bring in a useless, slow 'tug boat' that prefers an onn-field fight with his opposing centre half than being positive in front of goal.

I suppose we could trot out the old "well, he's brilliant as a defensive header of the ball". Yes, he is but that's not what our primary need is for a new attacking signing.

Bring McBurney back and give him significant game time and we really don't deserve to do anything but stagnate. He's the (regrettable) past.

It's my opinion, that's all.

Play him centre back…




…I’d love to see him back, point to prove, fire us back up, last time out he got double figures in half a season
