He's everything that is football is Dan Burn. Local lad. Didn't get his chance. Finally got it and is doing everything he can for it. When he marauders forward I think...there's our gladiator. There's our leader. Put me behind him and I will do anything. He's an absolute king. Everything I'd have wanted to be as a Geordie CB. What an absolute fucking diamond.

Sorry kidda, but the "Put me behind him and I will do anything" give me a bit of a naughty giggle 😃 copyImage.jpg.5b9419e5f464ad29b42baab016b5ac6e.jpg

Regardless of how he plays, he is a leader and I get confidence from the fact that we could almost certainly kick the fuck out of any opposition when he's in the team

Fantastic player, fantastic person, fantastic performance.

 

Alls I will say is please keep him away from LB, but he's so good for us at CB.

 

Think you, me, Eddie and Dan himself would prefer it if he never had to play LB again [emoji38]

I know I'm biased.  But he always comes across so incredibly well in the media.  Even after the game when emotions are running high.  Great ambassador for the club and because of the way he's had to come up in the game.  He's a really grounded, level-headed and 'normal' person compared to a lot of footballers.  

 

Obviously helps that he's from the NE, as well, of course.  Comes with the territory :lol: 

 

I mentioned on here I was stood next to his Dad away at Chelsea last season and it was easy to see why Dan was seemingly such a nice guy.

Feel like there needs to be a group statue for the group of players we've had since the takeover, dunno how you would choose who makes it in :lol:

 

Burn, Joelinton, Trippier and Bruno raising an NUFC flag.

Reckon he's got a job in tv if he doesn't go down the coaching route. He's already done a bit stuff for sky and he seemed quite natural

He's a proper defender, and tbh, that's what we've missed last few weeks. Someone to throw themselves in the way to get the blocks in when opponents get the chance to shoot.

People speak about 3m for Schar as our best ever business. 13m for Dan Burn wasn't too shabby either.

 

Him and Bruno are the two standouts from this "era" for me. What a monster of a player he's been for us and long may it continue.

I think Trips has to be included in that group as well mind - took a massive gamble, and has been phenomenal on the pitch and offered no doubt untold experience and knowledge to the group off the pitch as well since he joined. The one that started it all imo.

Just for the lolz I like to go back and read what people were saying when we signed him. The word "Meh" comes up a lot.

 

 

We wouldn't have signed him had Botman accepted right?

 

He was meant to be a stop gap like Targett. Now look at him - legend.

I don't know about the Botman situation.

 

I just like to look back because often people's initial impressions are so wide of the mark that it's a nice reminder of how things that some claim will be meh can actually turn out to be wow.
