i know people have already said this, but imagine if he came in the summer.. obviously a team is made up of 11 team players but he has made a huge difference. Just think where we would be right now? Definitely not near the bottom. Would he have got 15 - 20 + goals for himself ?
With me personally it was his goal record at previous clubs.. but I saw him play for Swansea and thought he has potential
To be nRedstar , I was going back to the first window when we were trying to sign him , & some were concerned about his pedigree
I don’t think that was unreasonable. It’s always a gamble taking a player in even with a great record in kids football. Look at Ugbo I think McBurnie could end the season as top scorer
Easy to say what could have been but not unrealistic to see Mcburnie up there with top scorers of league if we landed him at beginning of season. Matej Vydra is leading on 17 Lewis Grabban joint 3rd in that poor Sunderland side with 14. Said it at time - Mcburnie levels above Ashley Fletcher...
If's and but's.... he did not sign so why post this nonsense. He has now , along with others, lets just hope we can pull the aircraft up from the nose dive.
Lewis Grabban joint 3rd in that poor Sunderland side with 14. Majority of goals at Sunderland now at villa.
Lets hope so , because if he does, that will take him to double figures & with that kind of return we will be in with a shout of staying up
I know you was unsure of Mcburnie before we signed him and rightly so . I did a bit of the old googling and really liked him . Just wondered what your thoughts are now you've seen him in the flesh ?
Mcburnie and Moore both give us something different that we have been so lacking. The second goal was so simple. A cross to the back stick, nodded down and Mcburnie onto the loose ball. We didn't have it our own way in the second half, but I noticed that on one occasion we nicked the ball and Mcburnie had anticipated and was on the move straight away. Both he and Moore can make something of balls knocked into their general direction, just with their physicality. We've finally got a proper goal threat.
no mate do not say sorry... I apologise to you,. I know you were meaning well. Its like that day at Wembley when Odejaye was clean through on goal... I glanced at the Cardiff fans and players...their heads were totally down, they looked as if they were convinced of the equaliser, we were in the ascendancy and had he scored I believe we would have gone on to win it......... BUT he totally fecked up... that was the day I saw JLWBL have a tantrum...not really seen it since. We could have gone on to the final against Portsmouth and could have won the cup.. but we did not. Dreams eh.
