CONFIRMED Oliver McBurnie

[itsinyerblood]

Really? I hope they fall on their face and are relegated by xmas! One less team for us to compete with for survival

Of course I want us to remain a Prem team, show me anywhere I've said differently........but I think Farke's team received a lot of unfair criticism last term, that's all.

As long as we're above them I'll be happy.

Oh no of course, credit where it's due, he is a great manager it seems, but i just could not give a flying monkeys if they get nil points next season, as long as we survive at the expense of 3 other teams going down I am a happy Blades for this season!

 

[TickhillBlades]

That's a mis-quote - he actually said "it's a deal that has been done by the club".

Ah shite. Still buzzing haha!

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Norwich will concede too many to stay up,Wilder will make us very competative and i think we will have a decent season.I am looking forward to giving some of the 'big boys' a bloody nose,but i will miss the Championship,the last two seasons have seen the re-birth of our great,traditional and historic football club,we can now sit back and enjoy the rewards of all our efforts.........it's a great time to be a blade,don't let the doubters spoil it.

Frank Worthington

Ah yes, he was given two weeks to get his blood pressure down, but went out and lived his usual Frank Worthington lifestyle and when he came back it was even higher!

Bill Shankly, for it was he, was not impressed!

From where? I don't recall seeing much criticism about them. Most pundits were spunking their pants about them and Leeds whilst ignoring us.

I choose not to keep a record, but there were comments that were less than approving. Of course, I don't see every post, here or on other forums, but there again, I don't suppose you do either.

 

[Blade56]

Most high-profile ones I can remember are Demba Ba failed his medical at Stoke, and Leroy Fer failed his for Everton... strange really since neither went on to be professional hospital patients like Wilshere or Sturridge

Think ASA Hartford LUFC failed medical when they found he had a hole in his heart.

Asa Hartford and the hole in the heart

Forty years ago, Asa Hartford was poised to join title-chasing Leeds United, only for the move to break down after he failed a medical.

Bit defensive, mate. I'm not trying to be a twat, I just genuinely don't recall Farke getting unfair criticism. Certainly not in the press anyway. Of course I could quite easily be wrong!

 

[Blade56]

Can someone share a grainy picture of him stood by the side of the pitch?

I woz there....

It genuinely seems that our banter has turned reality and the announcement video is holding this up

 

[Barney]

I hope he keeps that thick luscious beard.

Let's compromise, rather than defensive I prefer factual, as far as my memory can recall that is.

Wow, he really is tall. Going to really help on corners with our 50ft centre forward, worrying that he's laying down though, question marks over his fitness (and lack of arms)?

Well I'm glad you're not editing the video if your use of emojis is anything to go by

Would be worse if you saw how long I spent trying to move the fucker at the front before I gave up and left it there!

 

[8lade]

I'm guessing the video will include at least 2 shots of McBurnie tugging the USG symbol

 

[Antonb]

I think they must be making a movie of his arrival. Just send a tweet making it official then say more info/ video coming later! FFS.

Let's hope that's all he's tugging

They're buying him a new wardrobe at Burtons so he meets the criteria on here.

Smart casual. No Basketball outfits or the contract is cancelled.

Incorrectly worn over the shoulder sweater?

 

[Bladesman2019]

What’s happening with this?? Getting a little anxious

Looks like it will need to include pyjamas

Why?

 

[Bladesman2019]

I reckon it’ll be announced tomorrow afternoon now

 

[chesblade]

Just seen a video of him at the academy on Facebook that someone posted shaking hands with sharp and fleck. Had the united shirt on so must be doing the video

 

[gavtheblade]

Just seen him in blades shirt outside shirecliff with Egan and Billy.
