Did we get anything for him. Good luck to him. He was never going to make the grade in the Championship.

Official website says undisclosed fee. Good luck to him!

[Wearethewhites]

Shame, another one who was completely destroyed by Magath, and never really recovered. Remember seeing him turn out for that game v Ipswich, men against boys, criminal.

Disagree. Still young. Two good spells this year in League One. Think he is a good player at Scunthorpe.

Not sure what you mean by completely destroyed why?
He was just not good enough,

As a young prospect, he came with a very good caliber, however, was thrown in the deep end to quickly by Magath, when he needed a few more seasons to mature. In the end, his confidence, along with a few other young players, was shot. If you don't know what I mean, then I suggest you speak to a few others who took interest in the acadamey, and they'll tell you exactly the same.

I reckon he would have developed into a good prospect, as like others, he had the potential, but was poorly managed by Magath like others were, and his and there development stalled, and confidence in sport as you know is very important.

[Fulhamerica23]

Was not Magaths fault he didn't develop at Fulham. That is a terrible narrative. He played four times that season. Didn't ruin him. If it did, then Cam is extremely frail mentally and probably wouldn't make it anyway if he's not up to the mental side of the game.

He didn't play enough games to be "destroyed" !
It wasn't the right way to start in the first team and it must have been unsettling and stressful but he's had plenty of time to get over it.
Good luck to him!

His first three appearances were ineffective but certainly not appalling. It was, in my view, only in his fourth and final game (at Derby) that he found it too much to cope with - and even then it was only in the final five minutes this was unmistakably evident.

Although I would not disagree that to introduce him to Championship football did him more harm than good, I would be surprised if Huw Jennings (to whom I would have to defer) thinks that Cameron was 'completely destroyed' by the experience.

Almost three years on with (I understand) two successful loan spells under his belt, my guess would be that his move to a League 1 club that has designs on promotion next season is exactly the level at which he would be now be even had not Magath needlessly catapulted him beyond his abilities. Indeed might not a comparison be made with Jack Grimmer? Jack was a good defensive prospect at youth level whose pathway into the first XI was handled better than Burgess'. Despite this, he, too, has had to drop to a lower league in order to forge a professional career.

I haven't seen the club list a selling or signing fee at least since 2004.

Well they said both; it was weird because on the app menu it said 'undisclosed' and then in the article itself £12m or whatever it was.

That was because we said undisclosed, then villa announced the fee. So we then went announced it too

From what I'd heard he'd developed a lot in the last two years, definitely could be a quality cb in a year or two, shame. Best of luck to him anyhow!

And whilst he didn't play enough games to be destroyed, his debut as a cdm against ipswich has to be one of the worst introductions any young player has ever been given to professional football.

Agreed, and we are still feeling the repucussions of recruiting Magath who had not an ounce of experience in English Football. Calling the appointment as a gross error of judgement, is far too lenient.
It was the worst idea and decision since Abraham Lincoln said, I am fed up kicking around the house, let's go take in a show.

I use to be fairly indecisive, but now I am not so certain.

Confucius once said that the inability to make a decision is often mistakenly passed off as patience.

In no way am I defending Magath, but Wenger, Mourino and Conti to name 3 did not have any experience of English football either.
