CONFIRMED Oliver McBurnie

[boss hog]

Good player mcburnie I'm floating around work today ,he'll be brilliant for us.Feckin bring it on.

 

[Stretch]

Trevor Hockey comes to mind. What a ball winner he was.

A bit before my time so I never saw him in the flesh, sadly. But yes, from what I have seen, heard and read about him, a modern day version of him would do nicely.

 

[Guesty]

Where did all this money com from ?
At the beginning, before any signings were made - which seemed a long, long wait for the first one - we were reliably informed that CW had £20 million.
He's not been doing that with the loaves and fishes has he ?

It's simple. Wilder entrusted one of the lads with the money (probably Basham. I'd trust Basham with money) for the Vegas trip. It was all stuck on black, as instructed, and voila, £40M to spend.

 

[Blade56]

Plus almost every signing has strengthened us. Half of Villa's have just maintained them.

And they’ve lost Tammy Winnet

 

[Grappler]

Just seen these stats posted, not sure of the accuracy, but if true, fantastic.


Oli McBurnie’s going to #SUFC

His 2018-19 compared to other Championship strikers: - 22 goals - 2nd most headed goals - 2nd most passes per game - 2nd most key passes per game - 4th most dribbles per game

23-years-old.

The best all-round striker in the league.

Confirmed

 

[Guesty]

And they’ve lost Tammy Winnet

They didn't stand by their man?

 

[boss hog]

Villa have replaced abrahams goals with an untried Brazilian who'll be freezing his nuts off a long way from home this winter.

Oli McBurnie, you are the love of my life
Oli McBurnie, I'd let you shag my wife
Oli McBurnie, I want ginger hair too

 

[boss hog]

We can't sing we ain't gotta barrel of money anymore

 

[mattbianco1]

who'll be freezing his nuts off a long way from home this winter.

He's been playing in Belgium for 3 years. Their climate is pretty much the same as ours

 

[Ricky]

May I once again point out that McBurnie is a perfect hybrid of our last 2 PL strikers Hulse and Stead

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

I don't think we've got good value with this one.

Reliably informed by a fucking moaner on here with an axe to grind

 

[brownie4583]

Yes the value for money aspect really does stand out for me. Compare to what Villa have spent and I would argue that pound for pound we have had a much better window, investing in young homegrown players who will all have future sell on value.

We also have 1 more loan plus a

I don't think we've got good value with this one.

Maybe a bit overpriced but will be worth every penny if his goals keep us in the prem

 

[Seth Rollins]

That makes our business every bit as good as villas and we're a better side in the first place ,but somehow they're staying up and we're bottom according to the experts.

Yes,this is my view as well.

The climate is very similar. The standard of the league, not so much. It’s like buying from Holland or Scotland, there are good players there but it’s difficult to judge just how good they actually are, so you can get a Van Dijk or a Vertonghen but you could end up with a Ricky Van Wolfswinkel or Vincent Janssen.

 

[Nerbyl]

They’re a weird breed this lot literally clutching at straws

 

[BushBlade]

I don't think we've got good value with this one.

I don’t think it matters. The most important thing is whether we think he’s good enough. We’ve got VFM on other signings which has allowed us to splash out on a key signing. Spending £17m on a player who’ll probably be good enough is better value than spending £10m on a player who probably won’t be good enough.

 

[FreePaulRodgers]

I didn't get excited for the start of the season in 1989.Or 1990 or 2006 or 2017......I might just be slightly giddy now....

He appears to be married to his sister so I’m not too worried about his opinion.

Got the Sheffield button ticked mind

 

[Northyorksblade]

I was driving up the A1 as the news broke, I literally had to pull into a lay-by (yes the A1 had them then), get out of car screaming and shouting both swear words I know over and over until I was safe to drive again.

Bother and damn?

She's the one with the tash..

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

He's been playing in Belgium for 3 years. Their climate is pretty much the same as ours

......and prior to that he played for Trencin in slovakia, a place where winter begins in late October and finishes in March. Whilst he was there, the conditions were so bad, that they got snowed in at the training ground and had to resort to cannibalism.

 

[GrayBlade]

My thoughts as well...but he needs to trim the beard

 

[JPSharpy93]

If Villa had signed Mcburnie for £20 Million then I would feel we have missed out on a quality player... Also, Abraham could be leading the line at Chelsea this season having only really proved himself in the Championship. I think this is a fine signing.
