    I thought he stood out a mile and said he'd play at a higher level, others just wanted a goal and were not looking for or bothered about anything else. He's 6'+, fast and very mobile, a threat on the ground or in the air and scored goals for fun in a relegated team. He's worth £5m minimum at the moment and probably double that in 12 months.

    If you thought McBurnie 'stood out a mile' you were watching different football matches to me.

    He did absolutely nothing for the first team.

    Only if you think he should be the final package at that age He looked a great prospect

    He looked a good prospect but he didn't 'stand out a mile'. There's a big difference.

    "Did absolutely nothing" and "Looked a good prospect" There's a big difference.:D I thought "wow" and that might have been only me but I that's what I thought, same when I saw Wells, same when I saw Moult and I said so with all of them......at the time.

    All water under the bridge, different opinions.

    Louis Moult isn't a great player. He's an average League One forward, and that will become apparent.

    He won't get much football at Preston, particularly after the Summer transfer window, and he'll probably wind up on loan at Fleetwood or similar next season.

    he was way too raw for the 1st team and if hed continued playing for us we'd have destroyed him as a player as the fans were already getting on his back a bit

    An opening bid of £4 mill, a good place to start.

    I'm surprised Swansea want to sell him, given that he's already proven himself in the championship

    Probably because he only has 12 months left on his current contract. Better to cash in now when next summer he will be available on a free.

    Only a year left on his contract. He could leave for next to nothing next summer.

    If Swansea do want to sell Gerrard and Rangers wouldn't be a bad start, I'm with you lets get a few clubs interested, you do know any % sell on fee we won't get in one lump sum don't you.

    Different rule when dealing with Scottish clubs, you get the money upfront. It's just in case they build the wall back up and you never see them again.
