On the other hand our fantastic uptick in form came when Cucurella went to left of a three and Trossard played wider, which may not have happened if Burn had stayed. Of course it also coincided with Caicedo's arrival alongside Bissouma in Central midfield, giving us way more energy in there...

We played four at the back throughout our good run when Dunk was injured and Burn started. People seemed to like our formation then.

Fair enough then, I like big Dan but if you think that he was the key to our entire play, attacking and defensive, then I can't argue with you. Clearly he must have been sold over Potters head, worrying times

I find this point of view weird. So Burn plays today, you think we'd have got a 0-0? Not sure what he'd have done about Cash's goal, can't see it myself. If he plays against Burnley we don't concede three and get a 0-0? Ok, if you say so. We're one point better off and in the same place in the...

Its never looked a bad decision and isn't. We've taken a short term hit, but it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things

10m, 15m, 20m, 30m, it's all monopoly money these days and has little relevance to those of us in the stands. When Veltman costs less than 1m and Locadia in excess of 15m its all a lottery anyway. When Markus Suttner cost more than Dan Burn in the first place. When we buy players for more than...

Five actually, Trippier, Wood, Burn, Targett, Guimares. I'm quite surprised they haven't shipped anybody out, thats going to be a big squad of players on the sidelines

Bye Dan, and good luck, you certainly played well enough to deserve a move to your own club. Now you've got a hell of a lot of defensive work to do, and will be interesting to watch your progress. Good luck!

If he didn't understand he's not the Stat Brother I believe him to be

One of these funny little graphs they do to demonstrate stuff.. Defenders progressive passing v aerial ability. On these axes Webster is one of the best in the league. So is Burn, nestling next to VVD and Maguire. Right next to him is Kilman, described as the most 'underrated CB in the...

I think that's an argument you could make for Lewis Dunk, but for Dan Burn, he's got at much chance of being stuck on the bench for Brighton next season as he would for Newcastle.

There is some sense though. If their preferred target is only available at 20m, and they'd rather spend 10 for a CB, then they going to look around to see who else might be available for 10. If they ultimately decide to spend 20 then they'll spend it on their preferred target, not on Burn.

Part of the question is, 'how good is Dan Burn really'? Valuations of 10-15m are still factoring in the belief he isn't 'that' good, he's really a reserve CB and he's in a purple patch. But if he really is the player who has kept Lukaku quiet, dictating play from the back - then he's a 30m+ player.

Would be a shame if he went before we could get a decent 'Burn baby Burn' song to the Disco Inferno tune going...
