Mcburnie

[Dries_Boussatta]

Haven’t seen anything that justifies his price tag,
Che Adams looks more effective for less money,
Agree or disagree?

 

[ben1987]

Disagree.

He’s been a bit part player so far yet to have a proper run in the side.

His header against Leicester was absolutely top notch really difficult skill.

Good finish today apart from the offside.

He’ll come good imo.

 

[ThatJa]

Took him off as he was just getting into the game and causing issues. Laughable..

McGoldrick who missed 2 he should've scored played 90 minutes. Baffling.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Best all round forward at the club.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Let's wait until January

 

[Sheffsteel]

His running style and the way he moves isn’t pleasing on the eye.
So unless there’s an end product it’s easy to be negative because he doesn’t have that athletic footballer look.

It was the same with Steve Claridge.....remember him....he was always referred to as a scruffy looking footballer.
He always looked knackered ....a lot of his goals were called “scruffy” goals too.

 

[Luke1993]

Service... If he gets decent service he will undoubtedly score, the 1 chance he had, he scored, although it was offside. The only other decent ball up to/in to him resulted in him setting up didsy. Ruffled there defenders a lot as well but was taken off, which was completely wrong for me.

 

[FMBlade1]

He reminds me of a less skillful version of Berbatov. Needs service as other has mentioned, the chances don't really fall to him as much as we'd like for some reason

 

[zablade]

I thought he was decent today, played McG in lovely for him to fluff if. Then he Took the ‘goal’ very well.

 

[Redhead]

He has done nothing to change my mind that he is a £17m work horse.

Fantastic work rate and effort but sadly in this league a player needs quality to go with the hard work

 

[dc_blade]

Scored today only to have it (rightly) ruled out for something that wasn’t his fault. Contributed to the build up nicely a few times. Not convinced he’s an out-and-out number nine, and I’d like to see him play with Billy or Mousset.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Nail on the head - baffling decision by Wilder.

 

[Antonb]

i think not having a settled front 2 is becoming a issue. Next game i would try mcburnie and the moose, and stick with them a few games, also try Fleck norwood and freeman in midfield, sorry lunny , nothing personal, just need a bit more creativity in midfield.

 

[Eza Blade]

The big frustration today was when he decided to throw the toys out of the pram when getting out muscled then drawn in to a battle he can’t win.

He needs to learn quick and decide when and we’re to play. Trying to turn on the half way line in the second half and put the afterburners on getting no where but floored is frustrating. Especially after that had been dominant on the ball for 5 mins.

 

[Kona]

I thought he was pretty poor today and from what I’ve seen so far, I think he still needs time to adjust to our style/pattern of play.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Best striker so far, looks good in all aspects to me. Good with the feet, good in the air and challenges all over. Mousset might be up there but too early to tell.

 

[Seanshoreham]

I think its unfair to keep referring to his price tag - its an inflated market for strikers out there and he doesn't fix the price.
I think that he'll prove to be a very good asset this season

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Looks like a colossal waste of money to be honest. Can't believe we've spent 20 million quid on him, looks so average.

We haven’t, and if he is average we probably never will.

This. He needs to concentrate on his game and not petty battles.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Seen him a few times now and while I won’t write him off, I really don’t think he’s offering much up front at the moment.

McG won more in the air, Sharp had the measure of Vestergaard immediately, something McB didn’t manage.

I just think he plays partly to have a battle with a centre half and referee and it’s not necessary.

He has some good touches and hopefully will improve with games but today Che Adams was streets ahead both physically and technically (answering the OP not saying we had a choice of McB or Adams).

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Totally agree with op and have said this since we were linked with him, Carlton Blade can vouch for this.

 

[Bladesway]

Haven’t seen anything that justifies his price tag,

Agree or disagree?

Agree to date. Watched him for Scotland the other night and he looked woeful. But it can all come good in a heartbeat and he hasn’t really had a run of games.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Complete bollocks. He’s had about 3 chances and converted 2, with 1 ruled out for offside. If he had the chances McGoldrick has had he’d have 4/5

 

[Akinbiyi]

You can’t judge a striker on his performances for Scotland. Fuck me.

Bilge.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

About three weeks ago he was a talisman and the White Brian Deane. Now he's a donkey. Maybe we should wait a bit before we judge the new signings.

 

[Carlton Blade]

True. Scoot said he wanted Marquis

 

[DronnieBlade]

Best all round forward at the club.

Horseshit.

Again.

UTB

The reality is that in terms of the Premier league we do not have a Premier league quality forward, but like many other clubs we have to use what we have to do our best. A premier league striker is £50 million+, way beyond the means of half the current PL! I look at DCL at Everton & cannot see how he makes their team regularly, but alongside Richarlison, etc they seem to make it work, which is what we have to do. A regular pairing might be a start.
