Gone Elsewhere Mcburnie

[Blade56]

Only ways would be
Pay as you play
12month contract with option for club
Stays out of court
Stays away from crowd supporting other clubs
Stays out of media
Hits no one on canera
Doesn’t destroy other peoples property

Yet again we continue to see the same old names mentioned as potential transfer targets, months after they first seem to have appeared / been targeted. None of these names make me think that the current manager shows any signs of progression or change in tactics or having a plan B. The names mentioned are just mundane playets (in my opinion), sticking to what he thinks is safe / knows / will fit into his "system".
Whilst appreciating some of his past endeavours, if the current transfer talk has any credence, then I'm sorry, this is no longer good enough.
I hope the owners can see this & have a change of direction. If they do, whilst appreciating it may not work, I believe now is the time for change

You're taking what Nixon says as gospel. CW's best mate was ridiculing his post on X yesterday.

I do question the sanity of some of our fans
Hes not a top end Championship striker
Strikers are supposed to score goals McBurnie doesnt how many non scoring strikers do we need
Hes been injured / unavailable far too often
There is a reason Las Palmas dont want him hes not good enough

Would he have got into the Leeds and Burnley promotion sides? If not, he's not good enough for our promotion chase next year, is the way the club should think about it..

Zian Flemming, Lyle Foster, Michael Obifemi and Ashley Barnes.... I think he might have?

 

[TJ blade]

If Wider is even considering trying to sign Ollie McBurnie, ne’er mind sacking, he wants sectioning………..then sacking

If he's in Wilders plans... he wants his arse kicking out of the door now!

McBurnie scored 13 in 25 starts the last time he was in the championship

Campbell has got 10 in 20 and apparently he's fantastic

Apart from 2021-22 (when he only played 1,000 minutes) McBurnie has been a consistent goalscorer every season he's played in the Championship.

He's a crock. How many more do we sign before the penny drops?

He's had a lot of injury problems. I'm not in favour of signing him this summer despite being a paid-up lifetime member of his fanclub. But the idea that he's "not a top end Championship striker" is incorrect.

 

[Panini]

Las Palmas do want him, they gave him a 3 year contract.

He's able to leave as he had a relegation clause.

 

[Smirth]

It will be absolutely hilarious if we sign McBurnie to add to our already bloated selection of misfit, injury prone strikers. Classic Wilder this.

 

[S17 Blade 1889]

Zian Flemming, Lyle Foster, Michael Obifemi and Ashley Barnes.... I think he might have?

And yet neither took him when available so 2 managers who don't agree. Even if only for fitness, who knows.

When was the last time any club at our level signed any player on a pay-as-you-play basis?

Wasn't aimed at you, more a general comment.

 

[loyalblade95]

Neither of them took Campbell when he was available (especially as Burnley lacked an actual striker for most of the season), but Burnley fans would probably admit that Campbell would have got in their side if they had him.

If Mcburnie was at Burnley and was fit to play, he would have been in that team every week.

Joe Rothwell might not have been 1st choice in midfield at Leeds, but he would have played most games for us in our midfield had we signed him.

 

[1889]

If he signs and does well, which he would, I assume you'll not be singing "He's our striker, he's our number 9"?!

He's easily a top end Championship

Sing his name? Believe me, if the level of next seasons promotion aspirations, includes the signing of Ollie McBurnie, I won’t even fucking be there!

 

[Blade56]

Accrington Stanley

 

[jono_t2000]

I've heard Tom Cannon is championing this move.

It's believed he feels he can compete with a striker who scored less goals all season than Cannon did in 1 game.

 

[jono_t2000]

On the flip side if Mcburnie does come back, think I'll be requesting a bet on games he will miss from injury and/or suspension being higher than number of goals scored.

 

[loyalblade95]

Should we sign him?

Honestly, I don't know, there's pros and cons to signing him, even if the deal is weighted in our favour.

Pros:

• Good championship striker who can get goals at this level
• Competition/cover for Moore, Oné isn't there just yet
• Good in both boxes
• Knows club and Wilder well

Cons:
- Have we moved on from him?

If McBurnie comes back then that's the end of our football club. It'll just be a graveyard for out of shape, washed up nutters. We'll be in League One this time next year. I've had it with some of our fan base. Moronic.

What a drama.

McBurnie bagged 15 goals for us the last time he played at this level.

There's overreactions and then there's this

 

[breeny]

I’d definitely welcome him back. The ball actually stuck up front with him, he battled for the ball, showed some skill, scored a few goals.

Worry is injuries…

 

[Jan Age]

Absolutely not… we need to move forward not back.. another striker with 0 pace … would name a better CB than a striker

 

[bartman]

For us to bring in any striker they have to be better than Moore and Cannon( based on what we have seen from him so far). Whilst not ideal McBurnie is streets ahead of both of them

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Promised much and delivered little. Reading the Transfermrkt report someone kindly shared seemed to sum up his career with us. Better at assisting than scoring, decent in the air, shooting woeful, rotational player - can't see that much has changed.

Chuck in the numerous injuries, the stupid yellow cards and subsequent bans, and the off the field nonsense and it's a firm No from me.
