Satoshi Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The guy is earning millions from football travelling around Europe and now gets free accomodation in London to play there. Not a bad life, can see why people will be a bit jealous. He will likely never be anything more than an impact player at international level, but that's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly he hasn’t had a big money move since WBA shelled out £15 million on him 5 years ago, but clubs at a decent level are still taking a gamble on him. I think Slavan Billic nailed it when he said that Managers look at Burke, they see pace and they see power and they think "I could be the one that can utilise that, get it out of him regularly and turn this lad into a key player for us", then they work with him on the training ground and quickly realise he aint the brightest, can't follow instructions, then after 10 or so games decide to cut their losses with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't help thinking that one of these days Burke is going to suddenly figure it all out and become a decent player. If you look at the young players Strachan brought thru he got alot right. Andy Robertson, John Mcginn. Burke seems to be the one he got very wrong, but he was excited by him at the start. So maybe there's still a chance he could become something decent for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
