Why did we actually sell Burgstaller

I still don't know how to put youtube videos on here. I've tried embedding it, it doesn't work.

Watch that for 2 minutes and tell me he wouldn't be able to do a job for us in the championship.

In his handful of appearances for us he looked good.

"In his handful of appearances for us he looked good."

In 27 appearances for Nurnberg he has scored 12 goals from midfield.

Youtube does show ability.

report of their last game. im sure it was wolff (Scandanavianbluebird) who said he was playing in a more forward role too.


Wasnt given a chance here really, not by the manager who signed him or the new one afterwards. so cant really say we miss him either.

Absolutely agree, but for every Burgstaller you have a Daehli, a Guerra, an Adeyemi, a Morrisson, a Brayford and now a Kennedy. If a player's got even a smigeon of class about them they're shown the door by Slade. Which does make me wonder how he puts up with Marshall and Manga mind!

I don't know.

We persisted with Dikachew through his year of doing nothing injured. Does it seem like all that time was worth it?. He's 31 in 3 weeks time. He just seems like a run of the mill, bog standard midfield player to me. Nothing special whatsoever. And hes on big wages.

Injured again. Not his fault but surely we could see buying a injury prone, oldish player had its risks.

Burgstaller reminded me of thomas hitzlsperger. He could have been good for us I think. Taking the pressure of Whittingham as well.

At the moment we are playing boring english style attacking football and players with flair have either been sold or are not playing.

We have literally no competiton for midfield places. It is what it is under slade and thats it. When we're losing throw ameobi on. Chuck pilkington on with 2 seconds to spare.

i personally think you are building him into something he wasnt. how much football did we see him play?


He might well have been a very good player for us, but if the manager who signs him isnt using him in not too sure what we are meant to think. Certainly not something i would use against Slade anyway

I was unsure on the little I seen of him, looked like he could make something happen but lacked that bit of extra pace. The fact he couldn't even get on the bench when we had 3 CB's on it though was more than stupid

Why did we buy him is the question I'd ask?
