    I don't see anyone being over excited, we could stop debating it but this is what the forums for isn't it? People contributing different views etc, it's the way of a forum.

    McBurnie always had it in him as the Swansea scouts who spotted him will tell you.
    He just needed to fill out I liked his attitude despite being Swatted of the ball against lower league burly defenders he kep coming back for more and just needed a goal.

    Agree, he had plenty of pace, and he was on the slight, but at only 17/18 he had plenty of time to fill out. He was bullied off the ball, but his destiny was for the higher echelons.

    The initial fee was definitely £315k.

    Amazing that despite perception what can occur. A number of last years players I'm sure will fit this bill.... My main thinking.... A certain O'connor

    Agree - I did mention in another post the positive pre-season he and Gibson have had. Not just in the way they have played but as well in their general demeanour. Lets just hope some of last years flops can become a key part of our promotion push this year

    The Sporting Life reporting that Swansea have accepted Sheff Utd latest offer. All down to Oli now

    He'd be a silly lad to turn it down, I'd assume a much better salary, a good signing on fee, playing in the Premier League.
    Back to God's own County, and reallocate to Leeds to see his beloved Leeds United when he's not playing, you know it makes sense Oli sign on the ........line.

    I thought I'd read Leeds were his team, but on checking up Rangers were his team as a kid.
    Rangers, the club he supported as a boy, and Leeds - where he began his career and once lived - led the chase for his services.

    Sorry when did Sporting Life become an acceptable source?

    I'll wait until it's fully confirmed by real sources

    Think he went to Barnsley with Mottley- Henry but after that the last I knew he was playing in either Norway or Sweden.
