Tony Wonder Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If he moves I hope he stays abroad as he has more chance of improving technically rather than in England IMO, but the price they will be after probably rules that out. Wherever he ends up he needs to choose his move wisely and it has to be somewhere he has a good chance of playing as he needs to start getting games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginge123 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It seems incredibly hasty to get rid of him permanently just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I can't see the link, is it touting him with a move to west brom or something? I doubt they would get rid of him this quickly, they'd be unlikely to get any money for him and they will need a much bigger squad this season to compete in league and cl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginge123 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Crystal Palace is where he's being linked with. The Champions League thing is actually quite a good point. Why get rid of him when you're likely going to need him during the group stages? Their arguement is that he isn't adapting tactically, but what's the point of bringing someone new in to replace him when you risk the exact same thing happening?For someone that they apparently don't think is good enough, he played 25 times last year, admittedly most of them from the bench, and hasn't he featured fairly regularly during pre-season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonSons Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The article is here: http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/vereine/2017-18/1/93478/tm-spielernews.html It doesn't say anything about tactical understanding or work without the ball though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read the tactical thing on STV's gossip column link, so it could of course be absolute bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Seems mental given that RBL have always said how Burke is a "project" to them, even in May they were saying he needs time to improve. Interested to see where ends up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Scottish media outlets making stuff up? Doesn't sound like something they'd do tbh. That part comes from Derek Rae, who isn't inclined to hyperbole. Rae essentially said that management are cutting ties after Burke showed a disinclination to adapt. Reflects badly on the player, which is why I said it was so disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go that far, but there certainly had to be a reason beyond what Strachan said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garf Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I don't understand why you would take a 19 year old on a 4 year deal, say that he's "one for the future" and only give him 12 months to learn and adapt, especially when a large chunk of that time would have been him getting used to a new country and culture, learning the language and things, was always going to be a lengthy project. Also read the other day that he's just moved his family out there to be with him. Seems daft, wouldn't be surprised if RBL included a buy-back clause if they do sell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether in that 12 months they've realised that he's not going to be the player they expected. If he's really not picking up what they're trying to teach him after a year, then why wait another 3 if they believe they can get an English team to pay stupid money for him? Might just be making a judgement call, whether that's correct or not. From what limited football I've seen him play, I can see some degree of truth in there. He's definitely very raw, and I can definitely see a club believing that the effort required to get him to improve may be more than they're willing to give. If it's true, which it probably isn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 'Not adapting tactically' would just be a polite way of not devaluing his sell-on price, hardly going to say 'he's not what we first thought' and half his value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
