Why didnt we bring Mcburnie back?

[Keen Blade]

There was better than McBurnie available, such as Kone who went to QPR
For some reason we decided to sign no-one

Is that Tom Cannon's real name ?

Mr No-One ?

I'm struggling to find a reason we didn't sign any strikers during the summer, now look at us? You can say what you want about Warnock but he recruited more strikers than Billy Ummer!

It's no struggle - we spent our £ on the Cannon That Won't Fire.

It should also be pointed out that common knowledge is that we offered McBurnie £10k per week less than the Humberside Jungle Cats did, over a shorter contract.

Separately, if Robinson did that he should have been bombed out before the first match of the season.

Robinson should not have been here since summer 2024

 

[Keen Blade]

Just accept it.
Wilder is shit at signing strikers.
He's also shit at providing them with chances.

Maybe he needs a little blue pill…

Though we are crying out for a target man to hold the ball up McBurnie never really did that role , he was injury prone & and only had one good season when he had an exceptional player at his side called Ndiaye .
For all the hate aimed at Moore he is exactly what we are missing up top

 

[N20 Blade]

That’s always the way, always has been. The fact is that no striker will thrive playing in the style that we currently do.

Style. Do we have one?

 

[KMC-1889]

This conversation is always positioned as we didn’t want to sign him, what we don’t know is did he even want to joint? He didn’t have a great time here under Wilder and turned down his renewal contract before buggering off to Spain, I don’t think it was very likely he was ever going to sign for us again unless we offered a ridiculous contract.

 

[Foody]

I always rather liked McBurnie, but I'd imagine the reason for not signing him back will be financial. Whilst I'm sure people will be disappointed we can't compete with Hull, you have to appreciate the context behind the Hull situation. Given Hull can't spend transfer fees, but still want to build a competitive squad and keep the fans on side. For them signing a fairly big name with a largely decent record at the level on a free will be seen as a big priority. As a consequence I wouldn't be surprised to see them pushing the package on offer beyond what other clubs would deem reasonable. Its a signing that's a bigger deal for them than it would be us.


Still feels a kick in the bollocks when we cant score though

I don’t hate him, I just didn’t rate him.

Jurassic Parkinson’s style seems to be suiting him much better. Fair play

If he gets him scoring for them that ain’t a bad thing ..agree re Parkinson style of play ..we never had enough width to supply the ammo to Moore ..he did a job for us & we were crying out for some to hold the ball up & play in the midfield on Sat ..we were very predictable..in the League 1 Wilder campaign we had bring in James Hanson as sides were sitting deep against us & we started to struggle to break em down ..you’ve gotta be able to stretch the lines

 

[Hartley Hare]

He was always fight'n and he got us a bad name in Knaresborough.
