Ivorguy Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 How far down the pecking order is he, now we have scoring strikers in U23s plus Garita and Engvall, and quite likely a new signing in January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 If he is getting regular first team football, then he is in a good place. He does not seem to have been as prolific as I hoped, but his pace is a great asset. He doesn't seem to know if he is a winger or a striker. Shawn McCoulsky has been scoring plenty of goals this season. He is young, tall and quick - hopefully he will make a breakthrough before long. Does anyone on here have any reports of his progress?

Always been his problem We have plenty of options for wing men, what we need is a consistent striker. Personally feel if he fails to score a decent number, say 10+ this season, he will be shown the door. Promise unfulfilled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously rate him quite highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still lots of time, it took Bobby Reid until 22/23 to make a consistent impact on our first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider-Head23 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Burns is a half decent player but sadly for him unless this loan spell north of the border does wonders for him. I think he'll be moved on next summer, I cant see him competing for a place in a squad that is trying to gain promotion or dare I say it actually promoted. He's done very little so far to suggest he's anything better than a half decent player, saying that he's still young. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he recently sign a two year contract with an option for a further year to be added on? Surely that's an indication that LJ thinks he has a future here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I was expecting more from him so far at Aberdeen. They've been playing him on the wing though as well so he isn't really getting his chance as striker. All that being said, the game time is the most important thing. It doesn't have to be a prolific spell to be effective. In hindsight, Scunthorpe may have been a better option after Aberdeen went out of Europa league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I expected a few goals and more starts. Even reading the match reports he hasn't made great impacts in most of the games. I don't see what's wrong in expecting better from him.

Surely that's an indication that LJ thinks he has a future here Maybe, but it could also be an indicator that if they want to move him on in the summer they will get some money for him. It is not unusual for clubs to extend a players contract just prior to a loan move, the reason is that should the loan go very well and the player creates interest from the loaning club or elsewhere, the parent club are in a strong position.
