IMO underrated while here. Big part of our results under Evans, when we looked like challenging for playoffs. Work rate, covering, athleticism - all important.
He'll be a super centre half in time.

Whereas I think he was massively overrated (in the position he played whilst with us, at least) here, and people only thought he was good because he came from Man City.
Louis Thompson was/is better and should have started every game ahead of him.

Burns always looked to me like a bit of a nervous kid playing a man's game. Not strong or aggressive enough.
More confidence, which comes with experience, will eradicate those weaknesses, then we will see a player there. Becaise there is one if he's given time to develop.
Bit I didn't want him developing here as a loanee, we had better options, like LT, available much of the time.

Both parties would probably have benefitted more if he’d come back here last season also.
We’d have seen a player with undoubted potential and a year of experience in League One behind him and he’d have played more than he did at Hull.
Seems to be endemic that clubs loan players out then move them on at a pace faster than that at which they’re developing. Slightly different scenario with Saxon when he was here before but the Plymouth move must have hurt his development. Had he stayed here he could have been moving on to a Championship club this summer rather than re-signing for us for instance.

Agree but on your last para Cooper gone to Barnsley, same league but probably the so called bigger club thing and or they paying more such as loan fee or salary contribution.
