Decent sell on clause, not sure what he would go for ?
Scottish Sun report.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have identified him as someone to give them more options and depth in attack. McBurnie, who is 24 years old, has found it tough in this campaign with Sheffield United and the Blades are slipping back into the Championship. The Scotland international joined the Yorkshire club in 2019 for an initial fee of £17.5 million and managed six goals in all competitions last season. However, he has scored just once for the top flight strugglers this term.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.
McBurnie is a talented player and not dissimilar in playing style to Jiminez. He a free range player that can come deep and go to wide positions and can dribble, lay off the ball and join in link up play. He will do more in better sides. He is also very strong in the air. Sheeff utd will have to make some sales.
Due to his poor scoring record this season £25m is top value. Possibly £15m lower bound.

Bet they would rather get rid of Brewster, they are going to take a massive hit on that one.

Yes I do. This is becuase players of his type are rare and inflation. McBurney is a multi purpose versatile forward good in the air and on the deck. He played well on loan at Barnsley alongside Kiefer Moore.

McBurnie is a decent centre forward who’d probably thrive in a side like Wolves with the chances they create.
That said they only seem to buy Portuguese players.
Aye. Neither him nor Brewster are great players, but they're better than we're seeing from Sheff Utd this season.
Think Oli has his cards marked there by how much more interested he is in us. Much like MGW at Wolves.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Oli has better all round play than Brewster though, wins everything in the air for example. Brewster performs when given service, Sheff Utd were never going to be able to carry him this season.

Different players thriving in different circumstances. In a chance rich environment Brewster would probably have scored 10-15 for Sheff Utd this season. He's certainly no worse than Danny Graham and he was in that ballpark for us in 11/12.
Oli probably more of a workhorse but there's limits to what even they can do.

I tend to agree.
Modern strikers are mobile and much more like Aguero, Vardy, and Suarez, Oli is an old fashioned style player. A Crouch.
Nowhere near Premier League level for me. Championship - yes fine.
Rhian i think more of, he lacks the power of a Rashford but he is mobile and hits the back of the net. Wrong club at the wrong time at Blades. Would love Rhian back in the black and white.

I didn't see Brewster as mobile if I'm being honest.
Happily be proved wrong.

Nippy over 5 yards but anything longer than that Championship centre halves had him for breakfast. That run of games where Cooper had us smashing balls into the channels for him to chase was as bad if not worse than what we're seeing now.
He was a big, athletic presence in u17s football but he hasn't grown an inch since and the 2 years of injuries would have held him back from developing any genuine pace.

Strikers won’t score goals if the team aren’t creating chances, in a decent team with players getting the ball in to the box and creating chances I reckon McBurnie could easily get 10 per season. There’s not many who can do it on their own, those that can cost a fortune.

Sheff Utd's two top scorers this season have twelve between them in all competitions. This is not a team that creates an awful lot. Their top scorer now has only one more goal than Oli got last season.
We saw with Tammy Abraham the difference a teams approach can make to a forward. Stranded without service under Clement (and written off by many on here), Chelsea's top scorer for the last two seasons.

Have to agree Paul Clements has to be one of the worst and boring managers we have ever had

He came here as a 19 year old and then had another season of development in the Championship before going back to Chelsea. Not simply our tactics unable to get a tune out of him, he needed a lot of work. He had a lot to learn.
Joint top scorer in the league for them this season with 6 in 20 shows where they're struggling. Abraham's on the fringes of the team and articles in the papers this week contemplating his future with them.

He scored just two more league goals for Villa than he did for Bristol City either side of his spell here. Same number of goals in total. That suggests to me he had developed just fine by the time Clement got hold of him.
Even here he averaged better than a goal every three starts. Total wasted year for him at Swansea.

Yes i can see the similarities!
Peter Crouch in his prime was nothing other than a quality Premier League striker. Whether that be 15,10, 5 years ago or tomorrow next week or 5,10, 15 years into the future. He 'had it'. Mcburnie doesn't. Please don't compare them.

Not all modern strikers have pace, power, unbelievable technique and phenomenal finishing mind. Two of those were amongst the best in the world a couple of years ago. Vardy won the PL with Leicester.
Players that we can attract, be it Championship or PL, are never going to be perfect.
Michus are very few and far between. Our best bet, should we ever go back up, would be a Bony type signing. Established British talent is pricey.

Nah, both fairly average. So a fair comparison to make.
Made a living by moving around did Crouch.
Here is a clue for you, the top football nations simply dont go for this type of player anymore. Have a think why.
Crouch nowhere near as good as any other modern England striker, ok maybe Boothroyd and Kevin from Bolton were on a par....? Nowhere near the likes of Wrighty, Shearer, Owen, Lineker, and Teddy. Almost playing a different sport. Even Kevin Phillips was miles better.

Ah yes Kevin Phillips, another quality Premier league striker. I think you're a little confused Killy. There is a difference between Premier league quality and World class as is what the others you mention were capable of producing consistently throughout large periods of their careers. In saying that, if you look at the ratio of goals to appearances Crouch and Sherringham are not to dissimilar. 468 Premier league appearances quite clearly tells you that Crouch was quality. and whilst 108 goals says that he was not a great goal scorer, he was definitely a scorer of great goals, and if there was a player around today of his stature and quality, then there would always be a place for them amongst footballs elite. Comparing Crouch to Mcburnie is not smart at all trust me.

A fairly easy way to assess someone's footballing understanding is to ask their opinion about a player like Peter Crouch.
If they're smart they'll recognise that he was a far better footballer than you'd assume based on his physical size and attributes. The boy could clearly play. As good on the ground as he was in the air.
If they're a bit twp they'll lump him in with the rest of the nondescript targetmen.

Crouch was a decent player, much better than people gave him credit for being. Nobody can play nearly 500 PL games and be poor. He had a particular style and brought something different to the party and was a handful for defenders, when they were concentrating on nullifying him it made space for others. Kiefer Moore is another player who offers something different, albeit for Wales. He’s a big unit and while he’s not exactly Lionel Messi he creates problems for the opposition and gives Wales a focal point in attack. I’d be happy with Crouch or Moore in the Swansea squad, they don’t play the type of game the club would traditionally play but it gives the team a Plan B and the opposition something to think about.
