    No Transfer Fee if there was how much would he have cost, as it is even at 45k a week it is far cheaper then having to buy someone and pay a wage to them.

    We obviously aren't paying McBurnie £45k a week

    I don’t care. He really isn’t that good enough to justify that wage.

    Matazo will probably play a part in the second half of the season and I'd be surprised if all 3 of the ACLs immediately hit the same heights as before. Destan and Akintola have the Acun punt vibe about them, and are complete unknowns. Ndala, however talented is very young and raw too.

    I'm half expecting Kamara to leave.

    It's also worth remembering we've got rid of 2 reliable centre halves for 2 who have been injury prone and we're relying on 2 LBs who haven't exactly screamed consistency over the last couple of years either.

    Lundstram and McBurnie are solid signings assuming McBurnie happens and we do seem to have a bit more of a spine to the side than in recent years.

    Whilst I'm quietly confident we can avoid the trapdoor, I'd be surprised still if we met the top 10 expectation, but if the fee ban is lifted or suspended then who knows?

    Massive salary, long contract, no resale value and mercenary vibes. It’s Bullard all over again.

    Considering we are operating under a transfer embargo the recruitment is going very well, its certainly focused some 'brains', credit due.

    How can you possibly know? Have you played with him? Do you know him personally? And you, or anyone on here do not know the details of his contract. We don't even know if he's going to pass the medical. All I know is that Sheffield United got promoted with a team of big nasty bastards and we have the spine of that team now playing for us. Just what you need to win games in the Championship.

    Sheff U just got £2m for Moore who is 33 in 4 days. McBurnie has only just turned 29. He's also a better player

    Very different personalities. And we spent a not insignificant fee on Bullard.

    Let's hope we can shift him on to Saudi when his legs go.

    But he's not made of glass like Bullard was.

    He's certainly not likely to get crocked in his first outing and barely play again.

    Is it? You and a lot of others on this forum have rightly been complaining about the owner’s mismanagement of the club and its finances all summer but he signs another mercenary on massive wages and you’re all giddy again.

    Acun doesn’t learn and neither do a lot of the posters on here by the looks of it.
