I liked Geldhart, had some fight and ****house in him.
Yes me too. We have been too nice on the pitch in recent years and easily bullied. But I think things have been changing and we are after players who are willing to leave their foot in. Even in the game the other night there were a few feisty challenges that would have been bookings normally.
I just can’t see what’s special about McBurnie? No pace, and poor finishing
Maybe the fact that half the champ are interested is a decent sign.
Sure but I’d still like to know what he’s actually good at because it isn’t scoring goals
Not interested enough to pay him what he’s asking for though.
He did score 20 for Swansea a few years ago, but then hasn't scored nearly that many in a season since.
Which I think is a good example of how strikers don't innately guarantee a certain number of goals and their output actually depends on various factors.
44 goals 8 assists in 125 championship appearances.
So a goal contribution every 2.5 games or so.
Career wise it's 111 goals and 31 assists in 351 games.
Forgive me. When was the last time we had a better than 1 in 3 goal contributions striker?
Or did you just look at last season when he only scored 3 but also got 8 assists?
you dont get promoted as many times as he has if you are not a good player at this level
It's what he creates for others as well, and the ****housery.
And the fact he's played a ton of games at a higher level.
you cannot get better at this level without spending a lot more money
frigan would probably have been amazing
but he's costing £10m+ including wages
Absolutely.
I'm sure some would rather we kept Pedro because he scored 5 last season and McBurnie only scored 3.
I would rather we kept Pedro, he’s an absolute baller and had he been utilised in a way that played even remotely to his strengths I reckon he’d have scored a bag full at this level.
That said. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was on similar to what McBurnie will probably be offered.
In purely footballing terms I'd say McBurnie would be an upgrade.
Whether the financials are credible or not is anyone's guess
