    As far as I was led to believe,there'd been some on going niggle between Coyle's brother and the big unit that eventually nutted him?

    Still think we are very light in central midfield. If one of Crooks, Lundstram or Slater get injured, we've got no fit, senior, cover, do we? Everyone else is more of an attacking mid, even Laalaoui. need at least 2 more CMs in I reckon.

    I’m obviously wrong or misinformed Chazz as it’s all there on cctv.
    I apologise Lewie as it appears you didn’t do anything wrong

    Decent summary from Baz. Except:

    1. McBurnie isn't a 'signficant financial outlay'. At least not in the sense that we've paid stupid money. We've got ourselves a proven, decent quality Championship striker (finally) on a free transfer. So, even if we are paying say £40k a week over 3 years (I've no idea if we're even paying that much, but just let's say we are for a moment), then that's around £6mill over 3 years. You rarely get such strikers for free and on low wages. The alternative would be paying say £5mill or more, PLUS decent wages on top - say £25k a week which would be £4mill more, making it £10+mill total. It's remarkable business for us even it is as high as £40k a week (which I doubt it is).

    2. No mention of Destan. He might be part of our surprise package once he's settled in. Sloppy missing him out. We'll likely have CF options now of McBurnie, Joseph and Destan, with TSF likely going out on loan once again and hopefully proving himself this time.

    i mean
    objectively mcburnie IS a significant financial outlay, regardless of whether a fee was paid or not

    Relatively speaking he isn't at all. That's the point. Do you expect us to magic a quality proven championship CF for free?

    that another striker would have cost more is irrelevant

    mcburnie is costing us a lot of money, thats a fact

    It isn't irrelevant. And we are both correct. The end.

    of course it is

    we didnt buy some imaginary player that cost more

    mcburnie is costing us a few million at a minimum and that is a lot of money for a non parachute team
    thats a fact

    and mcburnie is a player i wanted us to sign months ago, but hes still cost us a fortune

    No, you need to pay a significant sum to get a good championship striker.

    Yes, it’s a big amount spent on McBurnie.

    Yes, it’s the kind of money you need to spend to get a proven striker.

    Everyone is right about everything.

    Yes, it's a significant outlay in and of itself (as I posted above, we are both technically right)... but did you not bother to read the rest of the post that gave the context to the comment? It's not that big an outlay overall for a quality, proven championship striker. It's a very smart bit of business. Baz, like some others, seem fixated on us having spent fairly big on his wages, choosing to overlook the FACT that he came on a free, making it a very good deal overall. That's the point being made. It really isn't difficult is it?

    Looking forward to seeing if McBurnie's any good, that'll tell us whether he was dear or not :emoticon-0100-smile
