35 mil for James and mcburnie jobs a gooden
We want players that can score in the Premier League, not the Championship. Some quality would make a nice change.
We need a step up, not several steps backwards or sideways.
If you play to a strikers strengths, they'll get you goals. Very much in the Andone mould. Yes from me
Didn’t do Bournemouth any harm when they signed Callum Wilson or David Brookes - why assume signing Championship players would be backwards or sideways steps ? We all know how good and strong a league the Championship is and i’d say players who have proven themselves in that league are less of a gamble than signing foreign players from say the Dutch league !
I assume you’d rather us sign Wilfred Bony because he’s played in the EPL even though he hasn’t cut it in the Championship !
McBurnie is a modern day Steve Claridge.
Scruffy, dresses like a sack of shit, looks like the clumsiest footballer you've ever seen. Seems to know where the goal is, however, so I can't quite work out whether he'd be any good or not. He doesn't scream Premier League to me, but hey, stranger things have happened.
He's from Yorkshire originally, so it may be that Sheffield United is actually a plausible option for him.
Forget Dan James. He'll go to United, I'm pretty sure.
Although Alan Nixon has suggested on Twitter that United will buy James and loan him to us for the season.

I might have misunderstood, but I think Nixon has since clarified that the plans he was referring to was for United to play James, not to loan him out.Although Alan Nixon has suggested on Twitter that United will buy James and loan him to us for the season.

I know the thread you're referring to, and I don't think he's suggesting that, if you read it again. He's saying United are buying him to play.
You could well be right, but I read it differently:- https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1130102363375771648
He could have been mixed up with which tweet he was responding to though
Oli McBurnie has had regular sickness bugs that have caused him to miss matches regularly. Whether's it's Crohn's disease or something else, it's pure speculation. Four times he's been ill in 2019 so far.

Would be an excellent signing and I think we could get him for under £10m.
What makes you so sure we could get him for that price?
