Ollie McBurnie

[Orange Jet]

Discussion about game yesterday and next season . Would you sign Ollie McBurnoe

2/10 so far in our company

Light hearted post away from yesterday

 

[Burgh-Ger]

I don’t think so OP, I don’t think it will be a summer of chucking mud at the wall.

Our signings will be data led, considered and with a future sale in mind.

 

[Sevenoaks Loyal]

No

 

[RangersLad1983]

100% not a chance

 

[RH-Ibrox]

In an ideal world no however I’d take him ahead of what we currently have

 

[gsobers96]

No

 

[W*A*T*P]

Nope

 

[EverGer]

In an ideal world no however I’d take him ahead of what we currently have

No chance he would score more goals than dessers.

 

[krs]

No, but knowing our board and what they have agreed to over the years nothing would surprise me

 

[Hallers]

Yes because he's aggressive. Dessers is rotten & too soft

 

[The Goalie]

is he a free transfer?

 

[RH-Ibrox]

No chance he would score more goals than dessers.

I’d disagree game of opinions though

 

[CooperBlue]

Would you sign Ollie McBurnoe

You answered your own question.

 

[Skunkworks]

I think we need a young, fresh and dynamic attacking player upfront. a player who can move defenders about and make space for themselves.

I don’t think McBurnie would be any different that what we have had before is like a total different style of play.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Whatever the answer is, he's a better option than Dessers. But that's not saying much.

 

[Bear84]

No, he’d get more bookings than goals.

 

[schnauzer]

That’s a new one!

 

[jimbear]

No.

 

[Erik Bo Selecta Anderson]

No

 

[Swinton Ger]

Although I’d say no, we definitely need players with Rangers in their blood.

 

[Div1872]

Better availability than Roofe

Roofe was a much better striker but injuries have ruined his career

McBurnie is okay and a squad option if a free transfer and reasonable wage but he’s not a priority signing

Surely Koppen has much better options

 

[Amo6591]

On a free maybe but lets be honest if he wasnt a well known Rangers fan nobody would be linking him. Also see Paddy McNair etc.

We really do have a hard on for players who are fans of us and it honestly doesnt pay off that often when we do sign guys who are.

While some will cry for those with 'battle fever' etc which given some of the current crop is understandable, id prefer to bring in quality footballers first and foremost

 

[Weedoddieno6]

Yes absolutely. 0-0 away to Dundee 30
Mins to go, 2 wingers, on you go Oli.

Im assuming he’s on a free.

 

[ecossebear]

I don’t think “no” is strong enough for how I feel about this question.

 

[Dashboard Jesus]

Whatever the answer is, he's a better option than Dessers. But that's not saying much.

Utter pish. McBurnie wouldn't score anywhere near 21 goals for us.

 

[JRL12]

If on a free and wages werent to bad defo take him as a squad player

 

[Cooper 11]

Our signings will be data led, considered and with a future sale in mind.

How do these data analysis consider intangible qualities like heart and desire because we’ve signed a few of players based on what a spreadsheet says and seen little or no benefit.

We certainly can’t be signing players who’ve lost their way a bit and were world beaters at 16 years old (copyright Mick Beale).

 

[LoyalRanger86]

Absolutely no chance

 

[strathavenbear]

No, spends a lot of time injured and suspended.
One of his sending offs would be for headbutting or punching one of them, fan or player, though.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Would prefer to get Daniel Jebbison from Sheff Utd he’s OoC too next month

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Yes.

McBurnie, Danilo and another striker with pace and power.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

McBurnie is about to turn 28 and has had two seasons where he's reached double figure goals in his career. He's even gone an entire championship season without scoring a single goal fairly recently.


Can we learn our lesson about signing English Championship level players at that stage of their career? Most of them of them end up being high earning duds that we're begging someone takes off our hands.

 

[bluetonic]

is he a free transfer?

If he plays for free then its a maybe as well

 

[Craigie]

I don’t think so OP, I don’t think it will be a summer of chucking mud at the wall.

Our signings will be data led, considered and with a future sale in mind.

99% of the names mentioned in the coming months will nowhere near our radar.

For the avoidance of doubt, that will include Bruce Anderson.

We need some nastiness in our team. I don't know if McBurnie is the solution for that but at this point I'd take the punt

 

[Firetrap]

If we can swap him for Dessers then yes

 

[wullies bunion]

No, spends a lot of time injured and suspended.
One of his sending offs would be for headbutting or punching one of them, fan or player, though.

And there’s something wrong with that?

 

[Rangerscoverboy]

If he wasn't a fan he wouldn't even be in discussion

 

[Arkanoid]

No for me, brutal if the club and scouting team think that's the sort of signing that will help us to titles

 

[GodStruth]

No

The opposite, Rangers fan aside, of the type we should be targeting

 

[Centralbear]

In an ideal world with with a decent budget to spend no, I would hope for better.

In the place we operate with likely limited funds however, I wouldn't be averse to him coming in as a free if his demands were reasonable and also Shankland to replace Roofe if Hearts were prepared to accept around £2m with a year of his contract to go.

Add in a fully fit Danilo, yes he has much to prove, would give us a greater variety of options up front, all I think could do a job in their own way.

Edit : if he's got a poor injury history then definitely not.

 

[ChiefOrbo]

is he a free transfer?

Yes, he’s OOC in the summer

 

[Ballymena]

A question I always ask myself when linked with a player. Would he good enough for European football

Simple answer for McBurnie is no

 

[BB155]

Yes because he's aggressive. Dessers is rotten & too soft

If we continue with Dessers we are doomed

 

[final_straws]

Can't think of a bigger no.

In fairness, he must miss about 50% of games due to injury so he'd fit right in

 

[Rangers_Loyal_83]

Yes.

 

[Luca Stroppi]

Definitely not.

 

[Davie Weir]

28, Championship level, injured fairly regularly and had his best season 5 years ago.

Sounds about right tbh.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

I can’t see us burning big money on championship players in their late 20s anymore.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

If we continue with Dessers we are doomed

Agreed.

Dessers must be moved on in the summer. That shouldn't even be up for question. He is simply not the answer and never has been. A mutual parting of the ways is the only sensible outcome.
