Yeah, I agree with this about Burns.. I'd take him back, for cheap, but not sure how it would all fit..Quote:

I'd love to see Meridith here but he would probably prefer to stay in England and will have enough offers to do so.:sigh:Quote:

Problem with Burns nowadays is he isn't quick enough to move out wide, he isn't smart enough to play in behind and he doesn't score enough to play up top. I guess he could be a backup striker to come on and slow the game down/waste some time or if we're lucky nab a goal against a team pushing too many forward. But I don't think we have the money available to sign him either way.Quote:

Spiranovic i would take in a heartbeat, love the bloke! He can also play in the midfield which may mean we saw less of Ridenton....?
We have wingers we don't have a left backQuote:

But we don't have any Universities here worth pissing on. Makes absolutely no sense. He could go to TCD in his own country ffs - it's one of the best Universities in the world.[Ignore those bullshit rankings on the web]Quote:

Michael O'Neil is a very good coach as well, so if he sees something in Burns he must be decent.Quote:

Rumour is he's pretty handy at circus tricks, so Ernie just wants him here for the juggling one-twos. I wonder whether he gets a tiny car with doors than fall off on command as a signing bonus?Quote:

Feel better about being a wet blanket now.
Hope his desire to succeed isn’t extinguished.

Wait til all the soft tissue injuries pop up from running a half busted ass pauper operation and then we will see if Arroyo and Shep is sufficient.
How many aleague clubs have more then two strikers?Quote:
