What did Downie say about Burn?
Despite Botman being someone that Newcastle have chased for several months, Downie reckons that it would be “harsh” for Burn to drop out of the team.
He told GIVEMESPORT: “I have to say, the arrival of Botman does call into question the involvement of Burn next season, because you would have to think Botman, if he does sign, he would be first choice in that back four.
“So, if that was the case, and he came in ahead of Burn, it would be pretty harsh on a guy who was terrific in the second half of the season, he really was impressive.”
