Summer Transfer Window

[cadleigh]

I think there’s better options than Mcburnie and we should be aiming higher

Like someone above mentioned he’s been poor since leaving us and on a downward spiral in his final few playing seasons

Similiar situation with us resigning Allen, Bony, Ayew it hasn’t worked out with us in the past.

I thought Ayew was better second time round

I thought Ayew was better second time round

Nothing wrong with Ayew's play for us the second time around, it was signing him for a big fee and big wages in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation. Once that failed, the fee and the wages especially helped hamstring us financially at a time when parachute payments should have given us a great chance of going straight back up. Thanks again Huw.

He's not going to shag you mind.

You can't be 100% sure of that?

 

[Jackareme]

That's because they are expensive if proven.
We maybe able to afford the odd one but loans will.usually be PL.players.

The permenants will.mostly be from.league one or two.
Scottish players or from abroad.

I would always prefer McBurnie to a Scottish player or one from abroad - Oh wait a minute!!!

As opposed to an Irishman playing in a Scottish league joining a Welsh club in an English league who happens to be called Wales?

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.

No chance he comes here but Josh Brownhill just announced he’s leaving Burnley.

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.
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!

 

[Swans Jack]

Right who's the next person we can spot in Swansea? We tried McBurnie but it ended up being Rodney. I truly am starved with transfers. And want some exciting news. Sooner the better.

I think Adomah was spotted in Llansamlet.

I saw Roland Lamah the other day at a popular mini-market

Wasn’t he the bad guy in A Knight’s Tale?

A Scottish player from Leeds plying his trade in Spain but about to come back to Wales?

Actually the opposite is true and is probably part of the problem in signing a new striker, be it Oli or someone else. Yates is clearly not wanted here, but we still have to pay him unless someone is willing to sign him. Same with Vipotnik, who Sheehan doesn't seem convinced by. They may not be good enough, but we can't just wave a magic wand and remove them from the payroll.
