I'm not sure we'd take 15m for McBurnie, surely we'd hold out for more.
We need to spend at least £15m to replace him, unless he's a nightmare or his salary has some silly promotion bonus, what would be the point?
Not so sure, we told Coventry to keep their millions when they were after Charlie Hughes.
It's our time.
Can he step up to PL is the question I'd be asking. If there's doubt £15m is decent business.
Was Sheff Utd's top scorer last time he was there..
He has the most PL experience in our squad.
I definitely think he could lead the line for us next season, we just need to get better service to him. He's done an unbelievable job considering how little service he got in the second half of the season.
It always baffled me why we had 2 wingers on either side that like to cut inside and shoot rather than cross. Surely when you have a player like McBurnie who thrives on balls in the box we'd have swapped the wingers over from time to time.
Maybe if we upgrade the fullbacks we can have those bombing on past the wingers and getting crosses in the box for McBurnie to put away.
He was, but they finished the season with a record -69 goal difference, we'll have to do far better than that if we want to stay up.
Usually I'd think £15m for a 29 year old would be decent money - but McBurnie doesn't rely on pace (in fact its probably the weakest element of his game).
I think his value to the squad (in terms of goals, defensive work and spirit) means he's probably not worth the profit. It'd take a lot to replace that right now and as he ages if we are lucky enough to still be in the PL we'll probably move on from him fairly naturally.

I do think the league becoming more physical thanks to Arsenal and Brentford does make it better for the play off winner to stay up. We're already set up to be combative and cope with having less of the ball, taking our chances on the counter and from set pieces (although we need to get better in that respect). Games are being decided more on moments than skilful players tearing the game apart.
Yeh a lot of people assuming we will be the team that struggles the most from the promoted sides, but I would argue we may have a better chance. We know what we are and we will play to our strengths and our results against the better teams in the Championship highlight this. If Coventry try to 'play football' then they will get torn apart.
True enough but the question still has to be asked.
For the record Egan has more experience, but he's not a striker so not a comparison.

I did think of Egan as I hit send and crossed my fingers.
Sunderland want £8m for Anthony Patterson. I wonder what that makes Ivor Pandur worth, who I actually think is the better keeper. If we can get that sort of money I wouldn’t be against moving him on and bringing in a more complete number 1.
