Mcburnie

Post by Goliath » Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:13 pm

Would make an excellent Ashley Barnes replacement for us. Wonder how much they'd want for him.

I think he’s out of contract in the summer

I rate him. Doubt it'd happen but wouldn't be dissatisfied if he signed, perhaps as a replacement for Rodriguez.

Decent player at that level. But a complete ****head. I would hope we have some sort of ‘no ****heads’ policy.

He’s a complete tit, but one of those players you’d probably love if they played for your club.

That being said, I think we can do far better.

Being a tit on the pitch is one thing. Being a tit off the pitch (as McBurnie has been) is completely unacceptable really.

He's absolutely w@nk, at this level and the one below. Not sure he possesses any of the footballing attributes Barnes had and he's really not the sort to drag you through when the chops are down.

I understand the reasoning behind the post but he's someway off what Barnes is in terms of footballing ability (Barnes criminally underrated as a footballer).

McBurnie is nowhere near the level we need now and is also a colossal bellend.

No thanks.

Other than him being unfit, slow, dog sh-ite and a bell end on and off the pitch I’d take him in a heartbeat !

He has 6 goals in 21 apparently this season and 3 assists. Foster has 6 in 20 with 3 assists. (Presuming Google is correct). He'd be a very useful asset at either level, particularly the Championship.

Jesus. It just offers us something different. We need different profiles of player for different moments in a season and with Jay Rod probably on the way out there is room for a Mcburnie type in the squad.

Why do people have to have such extreme reactions

I mean - you've quite literally given Vitinho numerous 3s in the player ratings for perfectly fine performances, then think McBurnie could be a shout for us.

What do you expect?!

Is giving a player a 3 an extreme reaction? I thought that was just my view of a players performance on the day, not sure of the relevance.

I think Mcburnie's an absolute handful who both our centre halves struggled with in the first half today and it's the kind of presence we miss and would be very useful in the Championship.
Also aware he's a bit of a tosser but at 28 I presume he will probably be calling down slightly. He's also the type of player that Burnley fans tend to get behind like Barton, Barnes etc

I think both of our centre halves (even if they didn't have their best games) handled McBurnie with relative ease. He barely had a touch and barely won anything in the air.

Pure Championship player that lacks the sort of skills that we require from a 9.

There is gash and then there is Mcburnie levels of gash. The bloke is thug who can play a bit of football, currently he is playing two divisions higher than his level.

He’s an awkward type of player for sure but I think we’d be looking for someone a little better than him.
