He's a young lad with one good season in the Championship and a price tag he can't justify. He had a lot of hype because he came from Liverpool and did well on loan st Swansea. Was poor business to pay 20 million for him, Sheffield United should have really negotiated a loan deal though Liverpool dealings with smaller Premier League clubs is dodgy to say the least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a massive money signing for a team like Sheff Utd. Loads of money and basically their marquee signing to keep them in the league. But he is miles off where they need him to be to do that. It’s not his fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for the money and their situation, they needed the closest thing possible to a 'sure thing', and he ain't that yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Its a bit like Tammy, he struggled in the Premier League at Swansea and needed to drop down to develop for another Championship season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2021 He was the absolute standout in the U17 World Cup in 2017 - the best player in the team and the tournament in an England squad that had Foden, Hudson-Odoi, Sancho and Smith Rowe. I think that potential is what people are still buying - if he where to somehow click back to that he'd be worth a fortune. It doesn't look like it'll happen for him though unfortunately.

ender4 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 What happened there? He was walking along the street drunk and didn't like someone filming him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well judging by when the video conveniently starts I'd imagine he was getting all sorts of abuse and trolling and finally snapped. Would I do it, would I react, am I quick to temper, no not really but this lad obviously is. Old enough to talk shit to someone in the street you're old enough to get a slap. Similar to that Drinkwater tackle everyone went over the top about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another video that has surfaced on Twitter where the lad who gets assaulted is giving him a load of abuse while he's with his girlfriend. Like Rodders said he's basically snapped after a while of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Like, I know it's hard, and I'm sure he was provoked, but you can't actually punch and kick people in the street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely and I don't particularly like McBurnie in general but the fact that the Leeds fan thought he was entitled to act the way he did baffles me. It's like social media comments leaked into real life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that a dickhead went around seemingly acting awfully to the guy, and sad that he reacted in the way he did. Nothing good has come of any of it.
