Player Suggestion McBurnie on loan

[Blades1971]

There is an old adage. DON'T GO BACK. It could be more apt in his case

 

[dn5 shaun]

Keep in mind he didn't want to stay when we wanted to keep him.

Most of us didn't want him to stay, the game is about pace and power, he has no pace cos he can't run at all and only power he has is in his fists

 

[Chris the Blade]

There's overreactions and then there's this

Yep let's bring Lundstram and Norwood back too. Then nobody could accuse us of not being a progressive club.

And the Spanish game is different to Championship football. He struggled for fitness with us. Would his body stand up to playing twice a week? Or would we have another player who we can't rely on?

I think there’s a case that his fitness would’ve improved playing in a warmer climate. Personally, I’d be all for him coming back as a Moore replacement. Younger, does the dirty work, runs like a newborn giraffe admittedly but think he’d be a good addition.

RETURN OF THE SUPER MAC

 

[Mouth of the South]

His injury record whilst at Utd would be a concern (although he was available for every game bar one last season) so he would have to be carefully managed, but at Champ level I think he'd be a great option to link with a main striker, especially if CW intends to continue with 4-4-2 or possible 4-2-3-1. I could see him working with and improving the outputs of both Moore and Cannon.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I just want to see us play a different way. I appreciate Leeds had a ridiculous squad this season but they were so exciting to watch going forward…with our options as Moore, Cannon, McBurnie, Campbell it’s just the same predictable style of play.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I'm not necessarily against bringing former players back, unlike some who seem to think it's the root of all evil. I do however, think we should only do it on occasions when the player was actually any good the first time around.

Yes, he had a purple patch for 6 months or so out of his 5 years at the club, but he had Iliman Ndiaye at the side of him and he was 2-3 years younger.

So we shouldn’t have brought Billy back then?

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

I've said this before, and I will say it again, you don't divorce your wife and then marry her again!

Granted he's a step up on Kieffer, but so is Ian Ormondroyd!

To be fair i never saw McBurnie misplace passes as much as Moore does, I’d love to say the pass against Sunderland was a surprise but we all know it wasn’t

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

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.

Aye
Judging by that post he’d be in good company

 

[1889]

I was relieved we didn’t go up into the Premier League, cos we were nowhere near ready. I didn’t want COH to think that Chris Wilder was the answer and throw half a billion at him to build a team to establish us in the top division, because we know how that scenario ends.

But this season and maybe even the next, I want them to build a team of elite young athletes, from wherever they exist, develop the Cat 1 academy, scouting, medical infrastructure and first team training facility into leaders in their field.

When that team comes together, I want us to destroy the Championship and go up as clear Champions.

So naturally, it is so disheartening to hear people on here, advocating the resigning of Ollie McBurnie. Is he really at the level of what we require to achieve such a level of future success?
IMO he was bone idle, slow and unable to strike the ball cleanly before he left, and he isn’t what we need now. We’ve already got to a glut of poor strikers in Moore and Cannon, to get rid of, without adding another to their ranks!

McfuckingBurnie……..Jesus Christ, I can’t get my breath

Finally some common sense. Best post on here for decades.

That’s not true, he absolutely smashed the shit out of that lad’s phone with his feet

Seems odd

 

[jimmymuir]

Bring him back for this alone. Plus no more Kieffer Moore!

I'm putting 2 and 2 together here and getting 5430... Please no...

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

The more I mull this over the more I'm in favour, tbh. We could do with another striker option, but every other area of the pitch is currently a higher priority, so why not get in a known quantity on a free and save the transfer budget for sorting the defence out and getting a few more wingers in?

 

[blades95]

I sort of think this is happening lol

 

[Bladesman]

If McBurnie is coming back then it's a sign Wilder is going no where.

Nor are Sheff Utd…

 

[Bladesman]

McBurnie isn't the answer and he should stay in Spain.

 

[Sharp as a blade]

I'd take him back. On a free, better than Moore, could link well with Campbell and would get a few goals at this level.

Moore can then come on as a sub in the late stages.

However, the thought of Wilder playing both Moore and Mcburnie together makes me shudder so I've changed my mind.

 

[Wards]

I like him, but fuck me, we don't cast our net very wide do we

 

[Eric_Brooks]

I like him, but fuck me, we don't cast our net very wide do we

Really not sure this new model of doing the same thing will help us not be a sustainable premier league club

FML

 

[sufc323]

Imagine if this was an AI signing and proposed by the board and not Wilder. Their database went through thousands of players and McBurnie was the one most suited to us

I’m not a fan of bringing him back but you certainly can’t accuse him of being bone idle. He worked hard but his lack of pace unfortunately negates many of his other attributes. His best asset was his presence defending set pieces but curiously I don’t really remember him being as reliable at offensive set pieces.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Certainly looks that way doesn't it

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Not the most inspiring signing, and very much goes against the grain of a rebuild.
If Wilder stays will be the sort of signing we should get used to.
