Letting Burstow go seems to leave us incredibly short in that area of the pitch. If it was going to bring in a chunk of money it'd make more sense. If someone was offering a few million for Kamara for example, maybe you'd have to take it in our position. But loaning out Burstow can't be getting us much can it? Is he just that unwanted? Are we that confident we're going to bring in enough attacking players that he's not needed?
I mean, it's probably a good move for him and his development. Thinks he needs a season of regular games at that level. Pity we have a dearth of strikers like. Hope we're rinsing them for a few and wages.
I hope Jakirovic brought his boots.... He did score some goals in the Croatian div 3 twelve years ago...
Burtsow is young enough where a good season in league one will see him go for a decent fee. QPR about to get £5m for Kelman after a good season at Orient. Scored 3 goals for Wigan in his previous loan. I think a loan is the right move for him, but only if we can actually replace him with some quality
****ING HELL I can’t say I was a big fan but Jesus ****jng Christ we had to keep him this season and develop him MENTAL
In ordinary times we'd prob all be backing Burstow on loan for a season, chance to play week in week out and improve himself.....these are not ordinary times tho.....twt on this one :-/
Remember last summer when we were repeatedly told that the club has to wait until later in the window to make certain signings as we have to wait for Premier League clubs to sign players before they sanction their fringe players to go out on loan? Is their a magical rule stopping us doing that too?
Unsurprising news. I'd have Brown and Joseph ahead of him on the wing and there's a new winger on the way. Destan to come in up top leaving another space for a striker to come in and challenge him and Joseph. Best for player and club.
He's crap but he's better than having no one. I think we'll see some new additions over the next 24/48 hours and hopefully they are better than him!
Burstow showed no sign of developing or particularly responding to any of our Managers last season, a very basic player considering he was at Chelsea, it's the right decision if we can loan a couple of better strikers.
