    Despite all the doubters the club have done it. They've signed a striker with three league goals to his name. In league two. Scored 21 months ago. In the same game.

    Let that be a lesson to you all.

    I think you'll find that very few were making a song and dance about it and even fewer have suggested he's going to be the answer to all our goalscoring dreams. However, please do carry on running down the club as per.

    He's a team builder.

    I'd rather have a good team than a bunch of good individuals. It's all about getting the group to work together. Otherwise Villa wouldn't have finished so poorly last season.

    Lets give him a chance first before we write him off! He might turn out to be completely useless but lets wait until the seasons done before we judge how good a signing it is.

    Not heard of a lot of our previous signings . Got to give them time and time for Hecky to coach them

    He scored 19 in 25 in the Premier Youth League, so clearly something about him.

    OMG is that true, why the hell didn't you tell Hecky before he signed him surely he needed to be told?

    Prediction re: McBurnie
    First couple, maybe first few, games he plays we will be underwhelmed.
    People on here will be saying he's fffing useless - and things like - what's Hecky seen in this big lump?
    By late December he will be a decent Championship striker.
    By May of next year we will be begging the (new?) owner to buy him.
    By next July he will have been sold by Swansea to a Championship club for about £5 million.

    You must have a lot of time on your hands.

    It's quite to easy to show blind faith as it will never come back on you.

    I'l admit I was completely bored and started looking through a few old threads. Just found this one amusing that's all.
