Why didnt we bring Mcburnie back?

[Keen Blade]

There was better than McBurnie available, such as Kone who went to QPR
For some reason we decided to sign no-one

Is that Tom Cannon's real name ?

Mr No-One ?

 

[Keen Blade]

I'm struggling to find a reason we didn't sign any strikers during the summer, now look at us? You can say what you want about Warnock but he recruited more strikers than Billy Ummer!

It's no struggle - we spent our £ on the Cannon That Won't Fire.

It should also be pointed out that common knowledge is that we offered McBurnie £10k per week less than the Humberside Jungle Cats did, over a shorter contract.

Separately, if Robinson did that he should have been bombed out before the first match of the season.

Robinson should not have been here since summer 2024

 

[Keen Blade]

Just accept it.
Wilder is shit at signing strikers.
He's also shit at providing them with chances.

Maybe he needs a little blue pill…

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Though we are crying out for a target man to hold the ball up McBurnie never really did that role , he was injury prone & and only had one good season when he had an exceptional player at his side called Ndiaye .
For all the hate aimed at Moore he is exactly what we are missing up top

 

[N20 Blade]

That’s always the way, always has been. The fact is that no striker will thrive playing in the style that we currently do.

Style. Do we have one?

 

[KMC-1889]

This conversation is always positioned as we didn’t want to sign him, what we don’t know is did he even want to joint? He didn’t have a great time here under Wilder and turned down his renewal contract before buggering off to Spain, I don’t think it was very likely he was ever going to sign for us again unless we offered a ridiculous contract.

 

[Foody]

I always rather liked McBurnie, but I'd imagine the reason for not signing him back will be financial. Whilst I'm sure people will be disappointed we can't compete with Hull, you have to appreciate the context behind the Hull situation. Given Hull can't spend transfer fees, but still want to build a competitive squad and keep the fans on side. For them signing a fairly big name with a largely decent record at the level on a free will be seen as a big priority. As a consequence I wouldn't be surprised to see them pushing the package on offer beyond what other clubs would deem reasonable. Its a signing that's a bigger deal for them than it would be us.


Still feels a kick in the bollocks when we cant score though

I don’t hate him, I just didn’t rate him.

Jurassic Parkinson’s style seems to be suiting him much better. Fair play

If he gets him scoring for them that ain’t a bad thing ..agree re Parkinson style of play ..we never had enough width to supply the ammo to Moore ..he did a job for us & we were crying out for some to hold the ball up & play in the midfield on Sat ..we were very predictable..in the League 1 Wilder campaign we had bring in James Hanson as sides were sitting deep against us & we started to struggle to break em down ..you’ve gotta be able to stretch the lines

 

[Hartley Hare]

He was always fight'n and he got us a bad name in Knaresborough.

HH

 

[metalblade]

Bags two for Hull tonight (sigh)

 

[Silent Blade]

DronnieBlade finally realises he is wrong? He has now been quiet on the McBurnie subject

 

[Stretch]

If he stays fit he will bag 20+ for Hull this season.

Can't fucking wait for Saturday

 

[blades_95]

McBurnie or Moore wouldn’t have scored anywhere near as many they have for Hull & Wrexham for us, even if Wilder had stayed after the PO final.

Look at the goals they’re scoring, players like Giles getting early crosses in & men in the box. We don’t do that & hardly played to Moore’s strengths last season so why would this season have been any different?

 

[Willglynning]

Campbell and McBurnie as a front two would have been interesting to see. Can imagine it scaring quite a few defences.

 

[Swannyblade]

I'm not surprised he's scoring goals, I'm surprised he's staying fit and available. This was always the issue during his time with us. Oh, and playing towards him as some sort of big target man, which is not his strength.

 

[Oxoman]

Mcburnie hat trick on Saturday against us

 

[Harry's Game]

Looks like storm force winds on Saturday which might be a leveller for the game

Sad that we are hoping the bad weather can bring Hull City down to our level for the day..

It wouldn’t.

We never played to either of their strengths.

It’s like me buying a fucking catapult to get to Bridlington

I do somewhat agree with that. Mcburnie was capable of scoring so much more for us but he'd be fortunate if he got a chance a game

In fairness last night first half I recall decent balls into the box from Burrows, Ogbene and Hamer and not a single player looking to attack it.
I was fine with us getting rid of Moore - but not replacing him with a similar type of striker who can hold up the ball and be a target when we're penned in was absolute suicide by the recruitment team.

 

[mattbianco1]

He's got 4 so far at Hull, including 1 today and Lundstram scored for them. Egan scored last week for them as well. They've got our Spine and we got their Spain (manager) Bring Mcburnie back please Chris. Break the bank for him, Lundstram and Egan. 40 million should do it.

I think you may have separation anxiety?

 

[blades_95]

It’s been a problem for a while now. Our strikers feed off one or two chances a game, and to be fair to Campbell he took one last night. His good run of form last year wasn’t from us creating loads more chances for him, he was just clinical with the one/two chances.

The issue with Moore, McBurnie & most Championship strikers in our system is that they’re generally not the most clinical. One chance one goal type players are usually in the PL, and for good reason.

 

[Champagneblade]

Yeah ridiculous sentiment.

He is capable at this level and we needed strikers.

But wouldn't be surprised if Robinson advised him not to join though. He really didn't buy into Selles. Mind you I think most have the squad didn't in the end.

Thing is, it felt like we were very much pushing the squad player angle, we didn’t make an effort we could have on the money front and Sellés didn’t even bother to ring him to talk to him.

I bet he felt really wanted after that combo!

 

[metalblade]

What are the odds for McBurnie, Lundstram and Egan netting on Saturday?

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Somebody load up that video of him having that fight from a couple of years ago please, I need cheering up
