Personally, I thought his link up play was good. You are right about his work rate. He was our PotY the year we had him for a good reason. He was better quality than everyone else in the squad.
If we did get him, he would be coming into a better squad - and with a better manager than before. He's definately PL standard and I think he's one of the type of players we need in that final third.
I would love it to happen. A good player that genuinely likes the club and fans too.

If we got him, he'd be played properly. That is the BIG difference here. An isolated, lone striker he is not.
F*cking bring him back Tony........or are you just spoon feeding Burns sh*te to keep us happy???
Sorry but what's the 'first bump in the road' got to do with anything?
There seems to be a trend with us at the moment. Scott Burns is getting info from within the club (assumingly Ashgar), posting it on his twitter page, then we're left waiting and wondering. It a bit tedious & frustrating to be honest. How long have we been linked with Norwood and Safranko? It's into months now surely? Tony should just go about his business in a private and professional manner. If there is a signing to be had, then go and try to sign the player. Why leak it to your mate who you know is going to go online with it straight away. It's as if he's getting excited and can't keep his mouth shut and has to tell someone his 'news', knowing fine well his news will make it to the Utd fans.
So while I don't think he entirely 'at it', I don't see why he has to be leaking his info to his press pal quite so soon.
We need to give the board a bit of slack here. I could understand impatience if we’d lost our first six on the bounce and were currently sitting adrift and in need of changing things rapido. However putting Saturday to one side, MM and the squad have bought us some time (despite having a few injuries through this time including obviously Sir Lawrence). We are comfortably mid table where we anticipated/hoped we would be through the season. The transfer window runs through OCTOBER, so we have loads of time here and the results so far are giving us that time. In the current Covid climate we must use that time wisely.Bringing in knee jerk, impulsive signings for over the odds money is the last thing we need to be doing as it may end up putting an unbearable financial strain on the Club for no returns in the long term. The time to get these things right is there due to both the extended window and the efforts of the squad and manager to date. Let’s use that time wisely.
You're all assuming Tony Asghar & the mysterious Scott Burns (who the **** is he, I'm not on Twitter thank ****) are besties and TA feeds SB carrots to appease the intrepid Forum posters. Which is probably a load of utter ****e.
Transfer speculation is always rampant. Need to chill sorry..
