Gone Elsewhere Mcburnie

[Champagneblade]

How much time has McBurnie spent on the bench last season? Has that got any bearing on his fitness?

I’m not sure of your point. This isn’t meant to sound negative by the way.

Are you suggesting he’s not played much anyway. Or are you suggesting that flogging him to death week in week out hasn’t been done this season and as a result he’s been available more?

I think he’d be a good signing. He’s matured a lot. Him, Moore, Campbell and Cannon takes us to the top two in my opinion, especially as well have another striker in there too, be that Brewster or Oné.

As I said elsewhere this team needs tweaking, that’s all. Mepham, Dunne and McBurnie. Three starters at this level. All heading towards their peak period.

You need less reliance on loans then and you have tactical flexibility to play 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 with minimal adjustments to the XI.

You then need to replace anyone that leaves for good money. Possibly add another winger, given right now you have Brooks, Hammer, O’Hare and hopefully one of Cáceres or Nwachukwu making up a 4th or 5th option.

That’s it. Then have in mind players like Choudhury if Souza leaves or Morten if Peck goes or Rudoni or an out and out other winger if Hamer goes (for the record I think Rudoni goes to a PL club).

I’ve literally just given you the whole package. Why don’t you give an informed view on why he wasn’t very good? Bearing in mind how much he contributed to how the team played beyond just goals.

I believe it falls on you to back up your claim with demonstrable evidence rather than reel off a bunch of “link up play” “aerial dominance” vagueness.

If McBurnie was as good as you think he is, he wouldn’t have slipped off to Spain when he needed a contract.

 

[Korean Blade]

I always rated him, but could understand why he split opinion. At the very least I'd take him back as an upgrade on Robbo. Always felt safer at the end of matches when he was at the back.

 

[Davalon]

On a Championship budget it's not easy to sign 22 players guaranteed to take the PL by storm.

Nonsense.

Apparently we should be amassing 20 players all young with potential to massively improve and create huge resale values.

It doesn’t fall on me to do anything. I’ve been decent enough to give you an answer and you’re still just waffling despite your love of “metrics”.

What does your second para even mean?

This is what I'm thinking

Unless I'm mistaken, he's been on the bench a lot, hence much less chance of injury.

 

[Blade56]

I’d love him to come back and smash it. Just feel if this is the direction the club is being taken by new owners and Wilder then we are not going to be very successful going forwards.

As for McB being referred to as a “Lane Legend” who the feck decided that?

Having him on contract would alos soften the blow of buying him for 17m and seeing him leave for 0m!

Makes no difference bench or not he’s injury prone -most likely when it suits him

Could be this summers ‘strap line’ …. If we ever get our act together ……

‘Gone to Brum’ …..

It'll be closer to get to Swansea for him from there too

Ironically could be the opposite to Villa if they also offer Brewster a contract and want Robinson.

 

[adiosmiamigo]

Fair enough about players not being good enough for the PL, but we have to get there first.

While it would be nice to exclusively sign players that can make the step up to the PL, we won't be able to sign a full team of players like that.

We have to get promoted first, and if players like Mepham, Mcburnie, Emil Riis etc are good enough to help us get promoted, then we should sign them as they are ready made players for the here and now.

Take Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland, how many PL ready players do you think they actually have in their squads?

Don't know about P.L ready players but Leeds definitely had a subs bench to bring on and win matches which we didn't have.

Mcburnie reminds me of a Gary Madine type of player,nuisance and chips in with a few goals.

 

[Badger Blade]

Wilder's gone so I reckon we can file this one in the bin.

Thank God

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Wasn't he linked to Hull. Or was that after hull sacked him

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Let's see if we sign a better CF then

I'll bet we won't

 

[Berkshire Blade]

If we sign a CF who gets 14 goals I'll be very happy. If cannon and Campbell each get 14 we'll be going well too!

I think plenty of championship clubs will be after him this summer.

Hull would be ideal for Wilder, he could get Mcburnie in there
