I'm on the fence regards McBurnie. I've often thought, even by Championship standards he doesn't have enough quality.
He doesn't even run properly, always looks knackered or in pain when running.
However weirdly I think he'll do better in the Premier League than the Championship.
It's a little embarrassing but I think Mcburnie will have high nuisance value in the Premier League and cause some havoc.
Also a quality McBurnie DOES have which shouldn't be underestimated is personality in the dressing room and in training, character and a will to win.
McBurnie is the opposite of many of the players in the Watford squad, they have talented players with zero character.
He lacks quality but has the character you need to face a relegation battle.
However don't think any decent clubs would have him, so we shouldn't be offering him big wages, don't think he'll have many options.
In fact I'd put Jack Robinson in a similar bracket, not good enough for the Premier League but a massive character who will give everything in a relegation battle.
This season half our team has lacked quality but those players without the quality have been influential leaders and that comes in useful when facing adversity.
