Swans to confirm McBurnie signing

[Ringwood]

Where does Alan Nixon get his gen from?

I am excited - first because I rate him as a player. He is in his prime and people better qualified than posters on here think he ihas the all around game to play in the 2 best leagues in the World.
But mostly I think his style is exactly what we need. Relentless closing down, a lot of movement and ability to link play, and a very decent finisher. Decently 2 footed, good in the air and a great first touch.
He will really provide the movement that will make our exciting midfield additions twice as dangerous.
Yes the championship is a difficult league, but it is easier to score goals there than in struggling teams in the Premier League and La Liga.
Of course the downside is he is not the right age for resale value - but without paying a fee, that is ok with me. Am really hoping that there is substance behind this rumour.

Hate the use of meh. Smacks of arrogance, we're not eating at the top table yet.

Not arrogance.
Like I said, just underwhelmed. Clear need for another striker has been obvious & what we (look like) end up going for is another returning player who had one decent season with us nearly 10 years ago.
If he does sign, I'll get right behind him & I hope he's successful.
But we're a different club form where we were previously and he's a different player who was ready to sign for Hull, not us, before they were embargoed.
Just not feeling the love for this that many others are.

So we assume he wasnt at Fairwood then?

Fair points, the Meh thing has always been a bone of contention for me, and always will. I don't "feel the love", as you call it, but as long as the contract is suitable for us, I could see the benefits he could bring for a couple of seasons. Having said that, it's not looking as likely to happen, looking at the vibes emanating around since this morning.

He fits the bill as the star striker and will keep the supporters enthused because he's a tryer all day long and he has a special relationship with the fans.

Yeah, looks like some people may have jumped the gun on this one.

It’s funny that all of this is likely coming from that Alan Nixon article, he’s sent people into a frenzy and we all know his record with us is spotty at best

Based on what he gets right, nowhere.

Coleman saying McBurnie no closer than it has been all summer. Not at Fairwood.

People are clearly starved of transfer rumours

Apparently nowhere near it and definitely not signing but all that could be wrong or change at any minute as he’s definitely in Fairwood and falling over himself in the rush to sign for us but we’re not interested and there’s loads of other clubs in for him, none of which want to sign him, because he’s signing for us until he goes to Hull because they’re not allowed to sign him before they do, or something like that.

I have no idea if this is true or not, but this is quite a thread title for something based on word of mouth/twitter chatter.

Fun while it lasted back to looking at that photo in the pub of the skinny guy who looks nothing like McBurnie

Like the Reddit one saying Lewis O Brien had agreed to sign for us with a 3.5m deal agreed.

Perfectly summed up.
