Gone Elsewhere Mcburnie

[brownblade]

I loved Oli Mc. But he's certainly not a progressive signing.

He'd do us a job right now (if fit) no doubt. But are we going to pay notable cash in this rumoured deal? Hmmm.

Changed header to blades related one , or has it always been that. Seems strange

Great

 

[Brian Deane]

On loan to end of season, option to purchase IF we go up .....YHIHF

I'm sure it was in his Spanish kit, might be wrong though

 

[Berkshire Blade]

He and O'hare would work well together

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

He and O'hare would work well together

Work well and play with others

Anyone who wouldn't want McBurnie back must be crackers in my view. He'd add a lot to this team in both boxes not to mention the atmosphere created with him back. Also would we rather he join are rivals instead?!

 

[UddersBlade]

If he stays fit he’d be outstanding at Championship level. But that’s a gamble…..we have 21 matches to go…..how many would be start?

Uncle Susan messaged Oli yesterday promising him a blowie if he comes back.
Oli said thats made his mind up for him. Though didn't elaborate which way.

How can he not be a progressive signing if he improves the squad?

Because it would, in theory, be going backwards. But just a poorly chosen word anyway. Not a long term signing is kind of what I meant. McBurnie would suit this system (good player)... But unfortunately he was injured so much and divided the fanbase in multiple ways.

 

[brownblade]

The more I think about it, I was really quite surprised when he left and I'll be genuinely pleased if he comes back. As long as we're not on too tight a wage budget for numerous other incomings.

 

[wak1889]

agree with everything you said 56 apart from one thing pigs wont finish top 6

Even the 2 points from 9 bit ?

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Not for me.

He was always injured or suspended, and when he actually played his goal per game ratio was very poor.

I don't want him back.

[ancientblade]

not for me either a step backwards imo like cannon but think awoyonmi from forest is very interesting if we could get him

Is that just you thinking that, or are we linked?

 

[Shadota]

He has good qualities McBurnie, but considering we are struggling now because of injuries, I can't rationalise us going after a player who has a questionable injury record of his own.

 

[ben1987]

More chance of shitting gold than getting Taiwo Awoniyi

This...100% plus Florist wouldn't entertain any interest from us anyway!

Given Wilders history for signing "journeymen" strikers to see us through, (Hanson, Madine, Hogan) I personally couldn't think of anyone better than McBurnie who is a) available and b) affordable.

Who is a step forward? I keep hearing of players we shouldn’t go for, but who is the realistic alternative who offers the same ability but is younger/cheaper/fitter/more long term?

He’s a billion times better than Moore so in no way is it a step backwards. Moore needs binning off this January. See if Hull still wants him would be my first step

 

[Pintor75]

Just seen John Fleck in JDs buying new boots!

 

[Sithblade]

Taiwo's injuries and games missed in the last couple of years. Looks as injury prone as Oli.

 

[Nedski]

If his Mrs and kid went with him to the Canary Islands, I'd be very surprised to see them move back to Sheffield during the winter! Surely the lifestyle (and 22c sunny weather) is preferable right now?!

I know there's a lot more factors involved here but I know where I'd rather be!

 

[gaffablade]

Injury prone, lightweight move on.

Get what you are saying but I was hoping we would change our style, by maybe signing a athletic pacy forward like most other modern sides have rather than just lumping it forward for someone to hold it up.
But I realise it's Sheffield United and we'll probably get there 10 years behind everyone else.

no not been linked just saw an article saying that forest were prepared to let him out on loan but if were serious about automatic these are the type of strikers we should be looking at

We already have Moore for that role but we play some really nice possession based football these days and remember Mcburnie was at his best playing for Swansea who are hardly kick and rush.

I totally agree a pacey string type would be great but maybe there's not as many of them around that are available and we can afford?
