Remember that the league has come a LONG way from the time that Burns was the original golden child. Djite was a golden child at the same club as Burns and look how awesome he is now after coming back, tail between his legs.Quote:

It's 4 months? How is that meant to be useful for the team in a longer timeframe?

So.. he plays well scores for us and becomes an important part of the squad. Loan ends and his Korean club are keen to keep him since he performed. We're stuck with a team that's grown reliant on a player that wasn't going to stick around.
Didn't we do that before we Lord Griffo Ryan Griffo etcQuote:

Matt McKay just released by Changchun Yatai
We should go after him now so by the 2017-18 season we can have him for a few months.Quote:

Don't be ridiculous. He is just the kind of player we are guaranteed to go for as the creative player in the front third with the X factor we have always needed.
The X factor in this case being that he once won a talent contest as a kid and got a blue ribbon. We will then obviously play him at left wingback after Goodwin goes to Leeds.
Don't stress Mr Fish, GVE will make it his personal mission to turn McKay into a steaming pile of turd like he has so many other decent players.Quote:

In all honesty we could do with a player of McKay's ability, I just don't know where. Number 10 role or is that going to Burns' spot?
From what I have seen of McKay recently for the Socceroos McKay is doing a good enough job himself of playing like a steaming pile of turd.Quote:

If Ange brought him to Melbourne that would be the Premiership sealed for them right there and then.
I love him as a midfielder. And especially at HAL level.Quote:

Covers a thousand miles a game with his big engines but effectively shit. Right up GVE's alley.
Burns is planned to be used on the left side of a three-pronged attack line. Hence why all of my proposed lineups have had Goodwin at LB.Quote:

lol @ the short memories in this thread.
Remember that he was rated our best player at the Asian cup by everyone for a reason. Lack of game time and a change of coaching has clearly affected him, but if he signed for Victory I think he'd be back to his best pretty quickly.
As much as i see the good in our current midfield combatants, McKay> zads, zenon
Thanks Pv4. I've lost a bit of touch with what's going on the last few weeks so cheers. I didn't realise Burns was for the left. I expected him as #10 or rightQuote:

Classic Middleby.
Exactly. People on here are legit rubbishing the idea of signing a guy who starts every game for Australia.Quote:

Only those who like to leave there spot in the game day squad up to wether GVE pulls there name out of a hat when making his weekly selections.
McKay is definitely not a no10. When at brisbane he played as a box to box midfielder, him and murdocca kept their midfield ticking.
He's a great player but he's not really in a position where we're lacking players. Would prefer a decent CB or a proper LB, not to mention possibly a striker if/when heskey bails.
We wont get him imo, we wont even go for him.
McKay is 10x the player Zad or Caravella will ever be. He'd replace one of those guys easily.
But he'd never come to the jets anyway.

Truth bomb!

Holman maybe.... but Neill didn't exactly kill it for Sydney last season.Quote:
