“Norwood’s unreal at corners”

No, they're very real and very floaty - and we've seen hundreds of the buggers.


Sounds like both Bennies are doing well. We really should have kept Osborn.

Actually I watched the Stockport game on the box the other day and all his corners were unreal. I can't ever remember him taking corners as consistently good as that for us as much as I rated him as a player.

Well that's good to hear. The quality Norwood's got he should be getting 10 plus assists in L1.

He can strike a ball with some real zip so those floaty paceless corners often left me puzzled.

Can only imagine that was the instruction from the coaching staff, to float it in.... Puzzling because he never used to float a free kick or cross in.
 
Ex BLADES youngster Will Lankshear starts up front toneet for Spurs at Ferencvaros.He may have done well as a loan signin for us this season.UTB
 
McBurnie, Osula, Jebbison, Archer, Brereton - not a league goal between them. Brewster might even score before any of them do.

Proof that not every striker can be a goal scoring superstar hero like Big Keef sat at the top of the mountain with his one goal.

Mc Burnie would have had 4/5 by now if he'd stayed
 
Lankshear and Osula might be two of our best loan options for a CF in January.

And if we could get McBurnie or Brereton back we should be all over it.
 

None of those opinions really surprise me.
Very similar views have been expressed on United forums when those players played for us - though never quite so gushing about Ollie McB.

It's probably worth pointing out that those opinions are from a month ago, just 2 or 3 games into the season.

McBurnie hooked again today after drawing another blank. Las Palmas are winless and rock bottom and McBurnie's performance ratings are declining.

He'll end up back in the UK, if not in January definitely in the summer. I don't think back with United though.

I hope we're keeping tabs on Brereton, he'd be ideal for the left or the centre. Already fallen out of favour with Martin.
 
Las Palmas already look doomed, even with Celta down to 9 men they struggled.
McBurnie playing upfront as the lone striker is not working for them at all.
 
McBurnie and Fabio Silva, that's 50 million quids worth of striking talent Las Palmas have. And they'll not score ten between them.

I hope it works out for McBurnie but it did seem a strange move.
