Mcburnie

[Tony Currie]

Remember the Burnley match where we were losing at half time and ended up winning 5-2. McBurnie at his best - almost single handed took them apart in the second half. When he is fit he is an outstanding player and well above Championship level. It's a yes from me.

 

[Working Class Hero]

It's a weird one for me this.

I was never particularly a fan. He may be the worst striker of a football I've ever seen. He's also up there with the slowest. He spent most of his time here being crap, and even managed a 43 game spell without scoring. 43. Up front. That's diabolical levels of incompetency.

However, he's a definite upgrade on Keiffer Moore, so, whatever.

 

[knowsnowt]

Would be a great signing, him and Campbell up front would be awesome !!

It would be like good cop bad cops, but without any cops.

Yep, seem to recall he got a 10/10 rating from Opta( or similar) for that performance.

Remember the other Burnley game at Turf Moor where he got sent off for elbowing O'Shea and we lost 5-0.....it was a low point for me with him.

This is a very poor take...

Has his socks down by his ankles - sure.

Runs his socks off - unless you call jogging around miles behind the play "running his socks off", then you're way off the mark on this one

Is he or is he not, always in the box you need him in, whn you need him in it!?

I also think Òne could learn a lot from Mcburnie, he'd be an excellent teacher for our young forwards.

He wasn't the last time he was here

 

[Jinxy1966]

Went to Spain came back on a free….

I’m sure he could teach him loads. Whether it’s things we would want him learning is another matter.

Take him around Knaresborough. Kick some Forex traders.

Come on, apart from a few injuries, not his fault, he was a great player for us, always got us on our feet, runs is socks off, isn't afraid to stick himself where it hurts, had heart, passion, just a typical Blade, and id take him back in a heartbeat!
He would be great around the team, I think he'd get on great with Hamer, Barry and Ohare, the young lads know him, why does anyone think having him back on a free, is a bad idea???

Run! Is not a word i associate with Mcburnie

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I remember he kept part he played in our last championship promotion.

He would have fitted the early season 1 up top Role Moore badly struggled with perfectly last season

Might aswell get fleck and Norwood back while we’re at it get the band back together

You might be joking, but some of them would agree with that

 

[Maltby_blade]

You might be joking, but some of them would agree with that

Why would someone being happy with Mcburnie coming back mean we want Fleck and Norwood?. Let’s not talk rubbish.

Oh I’m joking

I’m surprised fans aren’t still asking for Billy to come back

The last best 45 mins of football that stunning 2nd half

If Ipswich have registered a genuine offer, can't see us matching it. At the end of the day, loving the club, does not pay your bills, does it.

Could it be he wants to stay in Yorkshire had 12 months away Ipswich takes as long to get as it does from Las Palmas

 

[Wards]

Hi Ollie (or Ollie's dad)

 

[Sheffsteel]

Might aswell get fleck and Norwood back while we’re at it get the band back together

Wouldn’t have them back

But David McGoldrick and Mark Duffy…..now ya talking ha ha

Regards McBurnie in some ways he’s shit ha ha but he does offer special attributes that can help us gain promotion.
His best ever season for us was probably in the Premier league…where some PL defenders struggled to handle him….so he’s shown what he’s capable of
But we’ve also seen his constant niggling injuries and loss of form more recently at Championship level
…where he (like Brewster at his best) just looked (at best) average/ decent Championship level.

As long as the price is right then it’s a reluctant “YES sign him up” from me…..but not that bothered if we miss out.

Yeah that's the Burnley match I remember when thinking of McBurnie.
At that point, the most important game of the season. Lose it and we were on our way down.
When we really needed leaders on the pitch to stand up and be counted, McBurnie conceded the game at 2-0 down and deserted his team-mates.
Before he jumped ship, he managed a grand total of 8 passes, 4 of which found a Blades player and no shots.

Well let him fck off there then
