Not too bad and potentially could make the step up IMO

Didn’t do Bournemouth any harm when they signed Callum Wilson or David Brookes - why assume signing Championship players would be backwards or sideways steps ? We all know how good and strong a league the Championship is and i’d say players who have proven themselves in that league are less of a gamble than signing foreign players from say the Dutch league !
I assume you’d rather us sign Wilfred Bony because he’s played in the EPL even though he hasn’t cut it in the Championship !
Oli McBurnie has had regular sickness bugs that have caused him to miss matches regularly. Whether's it's Crohn's disease or something else, it's pure speculation. Four times he's been ill in 2019 so far.
He's top quality and would be a brilliant signing.

Although a striker I'd say that Andone is very different from McBurnie. The latter along with Glenn Murray is a target man, good in the air. Not one of Florin Andone's greatest attributes.

Agreed. Plus of course, proven Premier League goalscorers that are availble for transfer are few and far between, and would cost us an absolute fortune We all know that Tony Bloom won't pay a penny over what he thinks a player is really worth.

McBurnie is a modern day Steve Claridge.
Scruffy, dresses like a sack of shit, looks like the clumsiest footballer you've ever seen. Seems to know where the goal is, however, so I can't quite work out whether he'd be any good or not. He doesn't scream Premier League to me, but hey, stranger things have happened.
He's from Yorkshire originally, so it may be that Sheffield United is actually a plausible option for him.
Forget Dan James. He'll go to United, I'm pretty sure.

Although Alan Nixon has suggested on Twitter that United will buy James and loan him to us for the season. I don't actually believe that Nixon has any credibility here, given that Potter hasn't even been formally announced as our manager as yet, but stranger things have happened.

I know the thread you're referring to, and I don't think he's suggesting that, if you read it again. He's saying United are buying him to play.

Not seen such Bravery!
I might have misunderstood, but I think Nixon has since clarified that the plans he was referring to was for United to play James, not to loan him out.

You could well be right, but I read it differently:- https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1130102363375771648
He could have been mixed up with which tweet he was responding to though

Yep: see the post above yours.
Sounds like he needs to come and take in the fresh sea airs of Brighton and Hove then, like some sickly Victorian child.

Apologies, both you and [MENTION=249]edna krabappel[/MENTION] are correct. Nixon clarified this with a later tweet. (First one was confusing though)

Needs to pull his socks up.
Chelina looks good can we have him too while we're at it.

Would be an excellent signing and I think we could get him for under £10m.

What makes you so sure we could get him for that price?

Major financial problems at Swansea, maybe I am being slightly ambitious and it’s be closer to £15m.
