Dan Burn - The Future

[davidcurrieclass]

just have a feeling he'll be bought by a big premier league team in the summer even if Fulham stay up. Newcastle for instance need a couple of centre halves with Colochinni going and Taylor being a liability. Plus he fits the policy of buying young players with sell on value. His trajectory is going up and up. Fingers crossed

[Earl_Lee_Dawes]

Man Utd will need a new centre back next season!

[davidcurrieclass]

man utd need 2 with vidic and Ferdinand going, Liverpool also need to strenghthen at the back.

[Robbie Painter]

Think everyone is getting a little carried away after just 4 premier league appearances.

[super_les_mcjannet]

Just glad the lad is doing well, as mentioned at the forum by Martin Jesper he probably won't understand how much his success has done for our club.

I hope he continues to do well, for the lad and for what this could mean for Darlo as a club.

Spot on and whilst I'm on, did it really need another thread!
Is Pete back counting?

I thought he looked reasonable alongside Fulham's other 8 defenders this afternoon.

Newcastle maybe a decent shout for where he may end up, but not one of the big Premiership clubs.

So Man U could still be a shout then!

Was suprised when I saw Burn in the starting line up against Man u, especially in the last Prem game Fulham got tonked by Southampton 3-0 - mind you Haangerland was at fault for two of the goals which I presume why he was dropped and not Burn.
Fair play to the lad he is doing well - just hope we can find a few more gems like him in the future - great to watch them progress their careers.

Burn had a great game against Man United. Made plenty of Clearances and Man United's crossing game suited him well. It'd be interesting to see how he'd fair against a side that play football on the Deck. Chelsea for example.

People are getting too carried away considering he's only made a couple of appearances. But with games like Yesterday he won't be at Fulham forever. Think he'll still be there next season though as Fulham haven't got many decent CB's themselves, Can't see many clubs coming in for him based on half a season.

He faired well against Arsenal on his debut.

As pointed out elsewhere, Man Utd signed Smalling when he'd had half a season in the Fulham team. Smaller Premiership clubs like Newcastle have signed defenders with no Premiership experience.

Let's wait and see - he's made a bright start but who knows where he'll go from here.

One of the match reports from Sunday's game said Dan Burns was 6' 7" tall. Is that correct?

Err, yes?

Still is as far as I know.

He used to be, but unfortunately he's shrunk in all the rain. Only 6ft 63/4" now.

I agree, he needs to improve on the ball to play for a Champions League club because they spend so much time attacking rather than defending their own 6 yard line like Fulham on Sunday. He's played well so far but its only 4 appearances as Robbie said so lets not get carried away just yet.

Yeah, but he also had a very solid season in the championship. I just think its too soon for Burn to be moving to a bigger club. Think he needs to develop his game more for a least another season. Its only a matter of time before he'll be at a bigger club.. If it was to happen in the Summer then fair play to the lad and it'd obviously be great for Darlo

[lo36789]

He obviously did enough in the Championship to be recalled - I don't recall that Carroll did enough to warrant that.

If he goes down to the Championship with Fulham that would be a backwards step. If Fulham stay up the best place for him is to stay put and get some games under his belt.

I don't think he'll go to a big club, probably one of the side which aims to hit 40 points as soon as possible then generally has a nothing season after that so the likes of Newcastle/Sunderland/Villa etc.

Given the spin the press have put on quite innocent comments he has inadvertently endeared himself to every Man City and Liverpool fan - should he ever prove himself to that level in the future!

Must make him one of the tallest players in the Premiership.

In the world

Dragging this one back. Assuming Kit Symons doesn't change a winning formula Dan will make his 20th appearance for Fulham tonight. I know the terms are not public of our next payment but usual standard is 20/25 games so hopefully we will get another Dan Burn inspired boost in the next few weeks if not tonight!

Should probs add. Reading through Fulham forum he got rave reviews from their first win of the season. The fans see him as a leader and he was their MOM. He really has for a cracking future ahead of him!

[Spyman]

I remember last season when Mulensteen (sp?) gave him his first games in the cup last season, and after that Man Utd game where they were under the cosh for 90 minutes but snatched a draw, he did a few interviews and came across as really level headed, well spoken - basically proper captain material.

[love it!]

I watched Fulham vs Blackburn at Craven Cottage the other week and whilst they got beat 1-0 Burn was outstanding. I'd say a good premiership player he could be in a team who would finish mid table.

Thanks Yoda.

[The Big Dawg]

Would he fuck play for a good mid table premiership side. Lets take the Darlo-specs off for a second here.

He is very good, and had a couple of very good games for Fulham in their relegation season. However, he was flattered by the complete turd that played with him, and that came before and after his run in the side.

He'd do an excellent job for any chanpionship side, as his positioning and strength and the way he reads the game are brilliant. His pace though, jesus christ, its not existent. He makes John Terry look like a vintage Rio Ferdinand. For that reason alone he'd never be an automatic pick in the top flight.

[Spyman]

How does his pace stack up against Per Mertesacker?

[DarloOnTheUp]

I'd say that Mertesacker would still be taller.

Don't worry lads, I'll log myself out...

[The Big Dawg]

Poorly.

There will not be a slower centre half in the premier league.
