Vardy, Brewster, mcburnie, vip, yates and cullen. We'll be sorted up top then. Maybe they should get ings in just incase....you know for injury cover.....

I thought we had debunked the whole record over the past seasons issue. Last season is the most recent - and he had the same number of assists as Ferran Torres Modric and Pepe- and one less than Griezeman and Dani Rodriguez while playing for the worst team in the league.Am I the only only one who thinks this whole McBurnie saga is quite possibly his agent letting the club know that he is keen. Whether the club is is a very different matter.
To be honest, although certainly better than we have at the moment, his age and his record over the past few years coupled with his supposed wage expectations, mean, for me, we could probably find someone who’d suit us more. One thing I think would be positive is his level of enthusiasm on the pitch. He’d drag players along with him. I just worry that he will have lost some of that energy he had given he is not in his early twenties any longer.
I suspect we will sign him IF our other targets don’t materialise and IF he’s still without a club at that point. I think it likely that we will enter the loan market for our first choice centre forward. Which makes sense in some ways if we think Wales is the longer term answer.
I always liked McBurnie though I must admit. Liked his personality on the pitch as well as his play.
That’s a bit of a weird comparison though?I thought we had debunked the whole record over the past seasons issue.

I think we have our heads up our own asses when we shun a track record in a superior league where the player (statistically) keeps stellar company.
IF IF we can afford the package financially we would be brain dead not to sign him - his style of play would transfotm this squad. In his position, our cupboard is bare
The beauty of being a fan - we all see things differently. You point out discrepancies in the comparisons - fair enough. However, I would maintain the biggest discrepancy is in the quality of team mates.That’s a bit of a weird comparison though?
Ferran Torres had 29 La Liga appearances last season and scored 10. McBurnie had 34 and scored 3. Griezmann had 8 goals. Dani Rodriguez only played once for Barcelona?
Modric isn’t a forward.
I don’t think McBurnie is a bad player - as I said, he’s better than we have. I’m just saying his record hasn’t been great since leaving us.
He may well join - who knows. We may be left with no better options. I just suspect he’s not at the top of our list at this point.
He is better than what we have, but is he better than what we could get for the money he would demand? I don't think so personaly. Also, when you add in the fact that we really need to be turning over players for profit to become a sustainable club then his age becomes a majour issue.That’s a bit of a weird comparison though?

I’ve just looked at the responses to your post on twitter.There are genuinely people arguing against that email on Twitter - for some reason they don't think its real, no idea why
I'm sure there are players out there who are potentially better than McBurnie but I'm also aware that the majority may be an unknown quantity either at this level or in this country, or both. If we are getting someone in, we would surely have to offload at least one of Vip, Yates or Cullen and I'm not aware that we're currently inundated with enquiries about any of them so if we're lucky and are able to offload one, we'd be stuck with the other 2 and the questions we might have to ask ourselves are:He is better than what we have, but is he better than what we could get for the money he would demand?

We sign Josh Brownhill, and I will eat a brown hillNumber 8 shirt available - Josh Brownhill number 8 at Burnley…. Can’t believe it’s happening.
Federico Valverde also number 8 at Real, perhaps Modric can put a word inNumber 8 shirt available - Josh Brownhill number 8 at Burnley…. Can’t believe it’s happening.
Don’t be silly we’re aiming higher than himFederico Valverde also number 8 at Real, perhaps Modric can put a word in
