CONFIRMED Oliver McBurnie

[Houso]

If I have to watch McBurnie get his hairy ringpiece tongued, he can stay in fucking Swansea.

Yorks Post reckoning bid could be around £20m

£20 fkin million

Never thought I'd see the day we are bidding that sort of money for a player (and yet it's nowt in PL terms)

At my age just thought I'm destined never to see us compete again in the top league (with all the money flying around but never our way)

HRH is reyt! CW is the Messiah

 

[Pinchy]

7 subs thought isn’t it? I can see two or three forwards on the bench.

Lots of subs, lots of rotation. I think we’ll see them all on a regular basis, but very few if any starting every game. Satdi-Tuesday-Frydi in the Prem.

Givemarun. Givemallafuckinrun.

 

[Brownieblade]

Judging from some of his recent photos they may still be looking for his stunt double in Manor or low edges

Betty Windsor has said that about Wilder?, that’s a break from Royal protocol.

6+ a goalkeeper?

Ollie's looking jolly, now he's a Blade and in the lolly, come rain or shine he's got a brolly that says he's off his trolley, cos who'da thunked we've gone and spunked a wedge on Ollie Mcb!

(No apologies, and yes I know, still to be confirmed but.......we're in good shape, so well done those who've made this possible!)

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

7 subs thought isn’t it? I can see two or three forwards on the bench.

Looking at Saturday's squad, and adding JOC, Mousset and hopefully McBurnie, I suspect we're looking at these 19 as the 'main' squad;
Henderson, Baldock, Stevens, Fleck, Basham, Lundstram (L Freeman 64), Robinson (Morrison 75), Egan, Norwood, McGoldrick (Sharp 70), Osborn, Moore, Jagielka

so yeah, leave out Lunny and we could do it but the way he's figured pre-season I think he might make the bench which leaves Billy or Didsy more than likely unless one of the new boys misses out which seems unlikely.

I see Triple-H has taken up live-action role play in his senior years.

 

[s4-blade]

I think Duffy fucking it up for himself actually helps us in terms of options on the bench. Because McGoldrick and Robinson can both play the 10 position we could see which ever one of them isn’t playing plus two of Sharp/Mousset/McBurnie on the bench.

For example
Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Stevens, Norwood, Fleck, Freeman, Robinson, McBurnie

Subs: Moore, Jagielka, Osborn, Lundstram/Morrison, McGoldrick, Mousset, Sharp

Gives cover to every position on the pitch, the only question is on a game by game basis would you rather have Lundstrams solidity or Morrison’s flair as the bench option.

Givemarun. Givemallafuckinrun.

Fewer mid-week games (and games in general) in the Premier League, mind. And I don't suppose Wilder will be changing his approach to Cup games any time soon, although I might be wrong.

That made me smile, but only at the thought of us having a £10million player as a sub!

 

[8lade]

Can't have Fleck and McBurnie in the same team, they'll try and take England for Bonny Prince Charlie.

 

[FriethBlade]

What a pleasure to have this sort of problem, rather than who starts alongside Monty or Leigertwood in midfield! It’s a different and vastly better world, albeit the money is obscene.

Legsofwood...now that's a blast from the past !!! I do seem to remember him scoring a worldly once though !

Yeah I realised that just after posting. Only two or three scheduled midweek games. I still think Tufty will use all the squad, whether as starters or tactical substitutes. We can’t have our record signing not having a game, or our record signing come to that and certainly not our record signing. Then of course, our record signing will be expected to get a few games.

Gerremon. Gerremallon.

Like Jordan Rhodes, but ours can take penalties?

 

[Houso]

A little preview from the Swans... (sorry Roy, couldn't resist)

I could be wrong but the reality is that Sheff Utd will be back in the Championship next season..(They won't be good enough to survive, I don't rate Chris Wilder as he's too one dimensional). That's the depressing part. They are going nowhere but they are taking us with them...

 

[itsinyerblood]

Like Jordan Rhodes?

Jeez, I do hope not. Thing is, Wilder has excellent selection choices. We've signed well, we've taken the bull by the horns and been prepared to gamble. I know it's relative, but by our standards this is great work.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

that'll be the wackiest one dimension since Dr Who then

I never realised how few there are! We are down for 4 midweek games (Tue/Wed/Thur) for the entire season

 

[SUFC Guy]

So is dis appnin den ?

Was that the overhead kick at The Emirates that was disallowed which would've been enough to keep us up?

Only for this year, just wait until next season when we're away at Besiktas on a Thursday night

Show some ambition, man. It'll be Galatasaray on a Wednesday night.

The litmus test of a footballer’s character. Can you do it on a wet Thursday in Istanbul?

 

[Maidenhead]

I never realised how few there are! We are down for 4 midweek games (Tue/Wed/Thur) for the entire season

and 2 of those are Boxing Day and New Years Day.

Only genuine midweek fixtures are Newcastle (h) and Man city (h)
