Like him or loathe him - and, I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan - he is currently our equal top scorer. And - importantly - when he scores Town don't lose. Keep banging 'em in, lad!   |

I think on the whole he’s underrated by many on here. Granted his decision making when on the ball can be poor at times but his movement off the ball is decent, he finds space in good areas and it’s no surprise that he’s often available in space (contrast this with ward whose positional play is awful). He’s also got a turn of pace which helps him to create something out of nothing and his bit of arrogance is valuable at times such as yesterday; I wouldn’t have backed anyone else in our team to have put that penalty away. Give him a proper striking partner and see him flourish (I actually think him and Rhodes could work well together).

The guy is exactly what we need.
In a team of, generally, robotic movements and telegraphed passing, sideways, back, sometimes forward, you need the unpredictability of a player to mix it up.
He is the type of player that can be a nightmare to defend as no one has any idea what will happen, it could be Ronaldinho touch or a Ronnie Barker.

Ronaldinho or Ronnie Barker. 😂 He’s a more cultured CQ really… Definitely one of those that you would put into a feck knows what will happen category every time he has the ball at his feet. I’m still annoyed that JK didn’t square that ball to him v Preston, as I think it would have changed the game. |

Unpredictable,clumsy but carries a threat.At least he didn't stand on the ball or stepover for the penalty

Has the balls to go for goal (and score) and has the balls to take a 97min penalty in a must not loose game. That will do for me!

He's rubbish but atleast he has scored some goals
I can't remember another player we've had who runs straight in to opposition players so often. Rarely has the ball under control and seems to think that rolling of his studs on the top of the ball confuses defenders when it actually just leads to him losing the ball 9 times out of 10.

Top scorers Helik and Burgzorg already equal with last season's top (league) scorers Pearson, Rhodes and Ward. Might we get someone in double figures? |

Far from the complete player but the fact that he’s direct gives us something different.
In probably the most “ boring” squad we have ever had, that’s a godsend.

Rubbish, really? Must be watching a different player. Yea he does loose the ball but mainly because he runs at players rather that playing sideways and backwards. And scored so excellent and important goals all of which were important at the time.

I don't get all the people knocking him. Far and away the best striker we have in the squad. Doesn't shy away, works his ass off, unpredictable at times but the lad is strong and the only striker we have capable of driving forwards with pace and threat.

He's not actually a striker by trade, but doing a decent job and offers a threat in most games. If he was Mr Consistent then he'd be playing in a higher league. Lots of talent but the archetypal footballing 'enigma'

Gilliver and Kindon were hardly 'gainly'...but did a job for us... Burgzorg ,ungainly as he is, is a threat to defenders and with a bit more quality ball to him could well rattle in 15 goals a season ... I like him.

The thing about Burgzorg is that he seems to be able to get shots away quickly, before the defender is ready... and he's got a great shot on him... and he trips over the ball a lot.

And he is entertaining, something which has been in short supply in recent times.

I think it was mentioned that the option to buy price is a million pounds. I wouldn’t be signing him at that.

I really don't get the uncertainty about Delano from some.
He is a flair player and can excite. He has shown numerous times what he can offer.
Yes, at times he is frustrating, but if he didn't have them frustrating traits, he wouldn't be playing here.
Very much like VLP.

Pretty much the whole 90 minutes is him losing the ball with a couple of decent moments thrown in. He's just another signing to add to the long list of players not good enough. Burgzorg, Ward, Rhodes, Harratt, Hudlin are not starting games for many other teams in this division |

Burgzorg, Ward, Rhodes, Harratt, Hudlin are not starting games for many other teams in this division I see the opposite, a lot of the times he loses the ball as others around him aren't showing for it, so he ends up having it longer than he should. He also gets into very good positions and others don't give it him. He does though, I agree, sometimes lose it when he shouldn't. But I don't mind it as he loses it trying to do do or create something in the areas where its worth a try. I personally think he would get into a lot of teams in the division, and with players more up to the standard he would flourish. |

He’s not ‘rubbish’
I like him overall - yes he’s frustrating, decision making looking up aren’t his strong points - but he’s positive, direct, works the channels, had pace, gives us an out ball. If he loses it and we’re on the edge of the opposition box trying to be positive I don’t really mind, next time it might come off
Look where the rest of the team are at this point - often in our own half. Rudoni back helps here especially if Kasumu stays fit for 5 minutes as can free up Rudoni
A lot of VLP with a bit of Colin thrown in - on the ball, better than either striking, better option in the middle, less reliable defensively
If he knew when to pass / release / shoot he would be with us would he …!
He gives us an option in the team / squad from a tactical point of view that others don’t - Christ we have enough defensive backwards sideways risk averse players
The use of channels is one of the clear areas we do better imo under Moore - I accept there aren’t many but this is clearly something we’ve worked on

Anyone we buy for a million you’d have to hope/have a chance that we could possibly sell them on for 2,3,4,5 million down the line. As much as i like Delano i can’t see that with him. I get the point though, he’s currently doing better than the last million pound signing. |

But if he can score 10/14 goals this season and we stay up then surely his value to us is worth more than £1m.

The fact he's the best striker in our squad says more about the sh*tshow our recruitment is than Burgzorg's ability.
He's VLP without the end product!

He is scoring goals at this level, maybe a lot to learn but could become a very good player. 1,000,000 is a snip |
