I’m not even talking about city or what they did as it isn’t relevant. (I’m not even sure how long it took them to win a league after the takeover?). The point is the plan the owners have laid out is challenging (not winning) titles in 5 years. If we are competing to conference league come this time next season I’m sure alarm bells will be ringing as it means we are behind. It took 4 years like I said. If the owners want us to challenge sooner, then they would have need to spend money a lot more. Which they cannot, because FFP. At the the end of 2020s, we will be constantly top4.

Burn 4th choice CB, 3rd choice LB pretty much replacing Dummett's role. I'd rather keep Lascelles tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with Man City was that they essentially had a blank cheque - we don’t and have to comply with FFP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I’m referring to competing for CL spots. not winning the league or CL at this juncture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Dan Burn, who do I complain to over this. Woke up fuming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 We'll be unable to consistently challenge until we start selling players for huge profits. Whether that's Kuol type players or academy players. We'll always be heavily curtailed by FFP until then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted January 14, 2024 Share Posted January 14, 2024 he seems to be spending alot of time coming inside and leaving the left wing unoccupied, I know he is a CB by trade but dont remember him doing this last season where is the drifting coming from? caliber of opposition? instruction? He also has come back slower than before the injury another great leader around the dressing room but shouldnt be displacing many in the starting line up if any at all once everyone is fit.

If we are 10th looking for a run at the end of next season yes. But if we are in touching distance of top four most of the season and drop back into 6/7th, then I’d argue we are par for being 3 full seasons into a project. I think people need to temper expectations, I mean did yesterday not serve as a massive illustration of how far behind City we actually are as a club? It will take time to cement our position and there will be further bumps in the road. Especially given the deliberate road blocks ffp/fmv will cause us at times.

Not necessarily, that may be due to the fact we feel we can still get a fee for him. This isn’t Ashley’s Newcastle anymore. We will be renewing contracts to protect the club now, rather than because we can’t be arsed to sign new players. i also wouldn’t be surprised if Burn is actually an a relative pittance given the coming home emotional pull.

gbandit Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 His aerial defensive work is pretty unrivalled in the league. Who gets their head to more clearances than him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 Had a few shaky moments in the first half - mainly some stray passes during a wild 2-3 minute period. Tbf he hardly got any protection from AG10 either. Gets his head on everything (not particularly accurate mind) and lovely to see him get a goal.

Who gets their head to more clearances than him? He is so important on set pieces at both ends, aye. He seems to get skinned a lot of the time. But not actually fully beaten. As he often gets back and gets his long legs in the way to stop the cross. He seems such a decent bloke and has been a great buy for the most part. But his lack of ability on the ball out from the back and anything meaningful from open attacking play is getting really frustrating and hinders us as a team. Not his fault, mind. Not his game at all. Plus that’s not to say the trade off from other areas of his game would result in a net positive.
