Oli

[CaptainMorgans]

I reckon Rifleman gets more right about us than Fab

At the time, I believe both were on their way. Wasn't it work permits that scrambled them at the last minute?

Pretty disappointing to miss out on McBurnie, thought it would be great having him back to be honest. Club has well and truly fucked itself with these contracts.

 

[Menage a petit pois]

Tbh... Resigning Oli when we have kiefer Moore already wasn't the best idea imo. His wages could be better spent in other areas of the team.

 

[bakeblade]

Hes got a medical on friday according to the rumours so I would guess its waiting on that?

Medical will be interesting

 

[Vass Borbokis]

Worthy of a separate thread for sure.

Suppose it's better being injured and sunning yourself in Spain than being injured in piss sodden England.

 

[YES Blade]

It’s the way it goes with football contracts these days, you win some and you lose some.

O’Hare on a free went for us, but McBurnie leaving for nothing went against us.

 

[bladesince64]

Let's just get BBD instead

 

[Wards]

ah well, would have loved him to stay but I'd have been more pissed off had he signed for a club in the same division.

 

[Slim Man]

I am astounded given the state of the squad absolutely anyone is moaning about (re)signing one of the most proven centre forwards in the championship.

Especially when we are looking at adding wingers to the mix.

Baffling.

Actually no you're all right he was wank

 

[Bladesince59]

Not too disappointed

 

[JayGreen17]

I, glad, he was crocked most of the time. Move on wages are better spent elsewhere.

 

[Champagneblade]

So, it’s now Olé McBurnie then?

 

[Diamondlife]

Gutted, I was really looking forward to the Roygbiv view from Sheffield United fans

 

[Bladedog]

We need two strikers in now minimum.

 

[Rodders]

for all those "we don't need him" types - who else is coming in, more shite like Benie Traore?

 

[Westran]

Wonder what the reaction would be if he failed his medical then accepted our contract

 

[Westran]

for all those "we don't need him" types - who else is coming in, more shite like Benie Traore?

Dunno

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

I know something, our resident songsmiths better have a pre season, with all these players gone we're going to need some new songs.

 

[JackSUFC]

for all those "we don't need him" types - who else is coming in, more shite like Benie Traore?

Exactly. People are lying to themselves if they're not bothered about this.

McBurnie is a proven Championship forward (as well as a good character to have in the dressing room). His contribution in the last promotion season was key.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Source?

Stokes brown please.

 

[The Fox]

I'll be happy if he moves on , not because I think he's crap , he's OK but not great either . Mainly because I've seen him , I know what to expect and I'm not exited to see him on the team sheet or coming on as sub . It's like a meal you had 100's of times. He's not going to get better or surprise us. Felt the same with fleck and Norwood, just bored watching the same old .
Always nice to get a new face , someone who you've not seen , the expectation and surprise in a good way as BBD did last season.
We've now room for another new face up top , all the better for it .

Let’s predict press conference Wilder ‘didn’t see is future with us’ ‘what can I do when players run down their contract’ fans ‘he was shit anyway’ ‘he was always injured’. Truth be known he’d have probably managed 15 goals this season in the championship

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

Gutted

Anyone who says he doesn't contribute doesn't know their arse from their elbow

Decent move for him though, wouldn't say no to Gran Canaria over Sheffield

 

[Tony Currie]

McBurnie at his prime is an excellent Championship player - always remember his performance against Burnley in the promotion season, unstoppable. However, he is now plagued with injuries and unable to keep fit and is always limping off. Kiefer is the perfect replacement and likely to play more games.

I think you may be right, he probably could have got us 15 goals

But that was before we signed Moore - who is the same type of player but better

So McB knew he would be playing 2nd fiddle, gets an offer to play against Barca and Madrids instead of PNE & Plymouth

We need a BBD style player to play off Moore, shame Oli's gone, but at least we wont be conceding needless free kicks every 5 mins from a stray elbow

It won’t be shite like Traore, Wilder won’t have forrins

 

[idleurchin]

So, it’s now Olé McBurnie then?

 

[Mario1889]

Good riddance.

A complete and utter waste of money.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Big loss losing McBurnie, and I ain't his biggest fan, in fact, I detested him.

But who else is going to head the ball now!? He was our best defender...
