I'm glad I never look at most of the other transfer threads, I only came in here because I thought the price in the thread title was outrageously cheap.

Willow Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Shift a CB and get Burn in, I'm all for this. The fact he's from here would be such a huge motivator, as if he manages to be part of this season's great escape, that'd be a huge deal for him. Get it done, then on to the next!

I never used to believe it, but I'm genuinely starting think the 'if he was called Dani Burninho playing for Marseille...' brigade might have a point.

Dan Burn is in the top right (best) segment, next to VVD. How far back do those numbers go? Is that for this season alone? Didn't see anything in the reddit.

People love the kind of signings they would make in the game and disregard the more shrewd sensible signings that are not always the continental flashy ones. The guy is a 6 foot 7 centre back that is mobile and agile enough to feature at leftback/left wing back and get up and down the byline, not to mention the ability on the ball and passing ability to have played that position for a team like Brighton. Think he's going to look really good playing centre back in Howe's setup. It's such a good move at fantastic value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I’m a Webster man but I imagine he would cost £30m or so. Good signing at 10 for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I don’t think he’s that much of an upgrade of what we have. He’s looked ok when I’ve seen him but I think that’s more down to Potter and Brighton’s system. From Botman to Costa to this feels shite. I hope I’m wrong about him but would rather play Schar and Fede. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Good signing at a low price, direct from one of the better defensive units in the league. Big lad too for set pieces in both boxes. I work with a lad who knows his brother - fun(ish) fact: Dan lost one of his fingers aged 13 climbing over a fence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Basically Dummett but a bit better and doesn't spend 80% of the season in the treatment room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Think we will be fine, especially since we are getting in Bruno. The fees quoted for the other CBs are insane. Reasonable fee for a player who is doing well. Once we get to the summer, we can look to sign younger CBs of a higher pedigree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like the player Dummett should be. I don’t expect Dummett to grow another 8 inches by the way, I’m not that harsh.

54 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 The more I think about this deal the more it seems like a really sensible move, going after better players like Botman and Carlos is great, but there is no guarantee that either of them don't require 6 months to get used to a new league let alone country, Burn while not as good as the previous two, is accustomed to the Premier League, is experienced, and will be able to jump straight in, I think if we where in the summer this would be a really underwhelming signing, but for now it could be an astute move.
