This young lad that has come in isn’t the striker that’s supposed to replace Loft. According to what I’ve seen online we got in touch with Blackburn about Burns a little over a week ago and it was only 3 or 4 days ago since Swann commented about Loft staying.
Swann replied “we will only let Ryan go when we find a suitable replacement” so if we were so unsure about letting him go before finding someone else, I highly doubt the replacement is Burns.
I suspect we have another striker on the backburner who will be coming in, most likely before the weekend.
