No_Problemo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 His physique for his age shows that his attitude must be incredibly good. Maybe he’s just a little thick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I was sure that the RB Leipzig coach had commented on his discipline for the defensive side of the game as a reason for them moving him, noting that he hadn't shown any signs of improvement in that respect, but I can't actually find any quotes to confirm that. I think a lot of the "attitude" stuff comes from Scottish media who say he looks like he can't be arsed when he plays for the U21s, it's probably wide of the mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem strange as if anything his performances for the under 21s has easily been better than his club form. He's scored a few cracking goals in the last couple of Toulon tournaments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This piece was posted after the Korea game at Toulon - https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/oliver-burke-mystery-15m-stars-12637699 It's guess work from the writer, he has nothing to base the attitude remark on other than Burke can "let his head drop" or "sulk" when things don't happen for him in games. Burke responded to that article saying he doesn't really care what people think about his attitude, he prefers to let his football do the talking. I like that attitude, but we need to see his football talking more often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a manager who didn't comment on it. Just have to hope he actually grows up at some point. Stick to the wrestling pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Not even on the bench last night for West Brom in the Championship and no indication that he is injured. Something is seriously not right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I might have understood if he hadn't been in the WBA squad since pulling out of the u21s, but sounds more like he's reduced to the fringes of their first team. I know he's finished and employee of the month at BK etc etc... but he's surely not so shite he can't get a place on a championship team's bench? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s seems like a recurring theme, which is a surprise because he can string a sentence together better than most of his teammates. Perhaps that’s precisely it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be really surprised if either were, but perhaps it's only a bigger club that would be willing to pay what WBA want for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
