A quite unique talent. The best striker in the Championship. And clearly it’s a talent we haven’t got at Barnsley. And it’s a talent which would be extremely useful if/when Barnsley got Into the Championship. And we have had him at the club. But let him go. A player sometimes comes along - and you know he is the difference between success and possible failure. We have had two players during the turmoil of the last few seasons (Morais etc) that the owners should have nailed down - no matter how much extra it cost. Harvey Barnes Oli McBurnie Stendel has baked the cake. These two would be the icing on that cake - that not only achieved 1st Division success but would go on to give us a solid base and Championship success.
We had no chance of signing either of them. What drugs are you currently on? I have a couple of days off & would like to see your perspective.
He was on loan. Remember? We've done this many times. Not a hope in hell of him ever dropping down to league 1 just because we asked him to. He started his ambitions quite clearly and that didn't involve dropping to the third tier just because the club he'd been on loan at for a few months wanted him to
McBurnie wasn't ours to 'let go'. I doubt there's any PNE fans rueing that they 'let Beckham go'... or Leyton Orient with Harry Kane.
Perspective ??? Don’t you mean my ‘prescription’ ? Lol And yes I do know he was on loan. But there is a general lethargic belief that players like this are out of our reach and just not for the likes of us to sign. This has to change.
I don’t know why we aren’t signing Messi or Salah. If we are going to sign players in our dreams may as well do it properly
Well go on then. HOW MUCH ??? Barnes ??? McBurnie ??? Then measure that amount against promotion to the Premeir. Or loss of revenue of relegation to the 1st Division.
Give over How long you been supporting Barnsley ? We’ve e signed at the time bigger players than McBurnie the list is numerous . Yes he’s making a name for himself and we always knew he would . WE ALL!! Knew we had something special but we were never gonna prise him from Swansea on our situation at the time and I imagine more privileged clubs than us have attempted not surprisingly
