According to transfer market McBurnie is out of contract in the summer. Hopefully we can get him signed on pre contract with it only costing development fee. Think we have missed a trick with not getting Roberts and Cole also on pre contract but they ships have sailed. onwards and upwards

I read that he decided to go to Barnsley because he needed game time, if he thinks we can't offer that with having Cummings, Morelos and Herrera then I can't see him signing with us. We can only hope Herrera gets punted in the summer and some Chinese diddy team pay us top dollar for Morelos because I reckon and Cummings-McBurnie striking partnership could cause some damage in the SPL.

Why this big thing for McBurnie has he scored any goals at all for Swansea or any teams he has been loaned out to, I don't see what all the excitement is about, is it just because he says he is a Rangers Supporter, you have to base it on goals scored not who you support.

Pretty sure transfer markt is wrong about his contract though JohnGreig78. Firstly his wiki page (which I know is not always reliable) has him contracted till 2019, but the give away was him tweeting after going to Barnsley that he was sure he'll be returning to club still in the PL. alluding to Swansea staying up

BigMarv - McBurnie is decent on FIFA 18, isn't that all that matters? haha

I realise I have been blowing his trumpet more than anyone, as it happens BigYin93 I don't play FIFA 18, nor any other computer games for that matter. I sound like a broken record but people keep asking the same questions over and over again, biglach62 you're clearly looking at his senior stats alone, playing for teams that do not dominate matches nor create many opportunities. I think we can all agree the EPL has some of the best young players on the planet. He was top scorer and player of the year in the EPL u23s last year for a team that won its division (i. e. was dominant) . He's scored 34 goals in 36 games for Swansea u23s, he is only 21 yrs old, and he is a targetman which Herrera is failing to provide. Even if he was a Tim I would still take him as he would offer something we don't have. One of the major criticisms of Morelos is his heading, something McBurnie is good at, and we have several good crossers of the ball Candeias, Tav, etc. It doesn't really matter how many of you don't rate him as there are plenty of people who work in football that do. There are not that many Scottish lads of any age that get a chance to play in the EPL. The coaches at Swansea clearly rate him, Scott Gemmil (Scottish u21 coach) rates him, and presumably Murty and Allen must rate him or they would not have made an approach. He's at Barnsley till the end of season now so let's see how he gets on there, he may be one for the future.

Last year he signed a year extension from what i heard the deal was only if morales was going out

Its never been confirmed that Rangers went and made an approach for him though.
