Mcburnie

Danny Hall, esteemed correspondent and all round great journalist has said it’s unlikely Las Palmas will let McBurnie leave. But that Cannon kid is potentially on the cards.
 

McBurnie would be a backwards step in so many ways, and let's be honest, he was crap for 90% of his time here. His only good spell was more to do with having a top class player at the side of him. BUT, he's still an upgrade on Moore, so if we can't get anyone else then I'd accept him as a last resort.

For those saying we should get him back, removing your ex Bladey Bladeness for a minute

Would you want this striker to solve your lack of goals?

Least he’s cut out the cards

this would be like bringing Grbic back cos Coopers let a few in recently 😂

I don't think he's the long term answer. But I honestly doubt we'll dig out a 25 goal a season striker who's a hard working physical specimen to boot in the JTW.

Most people I know seemed disappointed when we didn't resign him in the summer.

He's a better scorer and more mobile than Moore. Not a goal poacher like Campbell, but his all round game is far superior. I think he's quicker than people think.

At the end of the day we need experienced bodies in this squad. He's a known quantity. Honestly don't know what people are getting upset about other than they don't like him as a person
 
McBurnie is slow. He gets into unnecessary rucks with refs (we've got Hamer for that) he is not a proven goal scorer at our club not enough to warrant a return. Too similar to Moore for my liking. We need a fast pacey striker. I do not think we will get that but McBurnie is not the answer no thank you. Leave him be in the sun.

McBurnie blocked from Sheff Utd return but Blades may bring back another old-boy

OLI MCBURNIE has seen a reunion with Sheffield United BLOCKED by Las Palmas. The Scotland striker, 28, joined the LaLiga outfit in July on a three-year deal after he was released by the Blades. He …

Weird article. Talks unnecessary lots about off the field stuff and I can't see where it mentions other players as alluded in the headline.
 
He'd be a major upgrade on Moore, but that really shouldn't be the benchmark on what we're looking for in a forward to bring in...

Our current striker shouldn't be a benchmark?

I presume it's your way of letting everyone know you don't rate Moore, just not done very logically.

Moore is fine as an option, but we're a much better attacking threat with someone quicker and more willing to run in behind like Campbell.

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

I'd have to say that's a slight exaggeration...!

It's a step backwards in time. McBurnie left. As good as he could be and unnecessarily essential that he was... We thought we'd moved on. That's all I meant by "going backwards".

Yep Las Palmas won't let him go without getting another striker in first which seems unlikely.

Let's put this in the 'not going to happen ' bin and finally move on.
 
If you had to choose with the current squad.... mcburnie up top or Moore... I'd always in all aspects say Mcburnie. So I can't understand why anyone says its a step back, when we got the mcburnie from wish this season.... on a 3 year fucking contract.

Given some of his behaviour and antics over the time he spent employed by the club i don't think "brain dead lump' is too inaccurate and I could have used a lot worse language.

Do you spend your evenings looking out for things to feel offended by? Either way, I'm not at all bothered. Shove your 'faux offence' up your arse.

Not offended pal , but I can see your vocabulary is a little limited.
 
In that recent interview with McBurnie (and McKenna), he was saying he was enjoying life in Gran Canaria and wanted to leave the Lane for a change of scenery and a fresh start, so I’d be surprised if he came back.
 
Neither Mcburnie or Moore are good enough for the premiership ( if we go up!) So invest in a younger player like Bishop, Whittaker, maybe even Kone at Wycombe, we are going to have to a some point, so bed them in in the Championship and try something different, move on from looking backwards
 
I think it’s likely but as Wilder mentioned in one of his interviews ( I think on Friday) - clubs will be negotiating a hard deal - hence the noise in the press supposedly from Las Palmas saying not for sale at the moment. However, make no mistake they will want to cash in with a good cash deal or loan to buy deal & possibly get a replacement in first. If McBurnie is not getting in their squad - the writing is on the wall- but also McBurnie’s agent will also be driving a hard bargain. January is a shit time to be doing deals….but we have no choice.
 
He wouldn't sign when we offered a deal then walked, we don't need him because he's not playing for them, we've got to stop being a charity or care home for ex players, only deal should be
swap him for Brewster and offer him £12k pw, or it's a no

Thought I'd read somewhere they are after someone from Fulham but have got to let players go 1st. Might be wrong though
 
Las Palmas are playing Elche in the Copa Del Rey right now. McBurnie isn't even on the bench!!!!
