Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Nice to see chris burke doing well at Cardiff playing regularly and performing regularly. Another man of the match performance today as Cardiff beat Middlesbrough at the riverside motherfucker He was ripping the piss out of the full backs the whole game and you have to wonder if maybe we should have kept him? people say we lack width and a real winger.... was he not the answer?

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 At one point Burke was just amazing for us. But then something happened like Adam and he became a flop and didn't perform for us anymore.. had to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 File him in the Barry Ferguson section. He needed to move away from Ibrox, he was going stale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryTibbs 230 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 File him in the Barry Ferguson section. He needed to move away from Ibrox, he was going stale. Disagree He was never bloody used, the one game I seen him play last season was when he came on for Novo at Inverness and he set up one of Boyds goals. He was the only one in the squad who could dribble past a player, and still would be now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 File him in the Barry Ferguson section. He needed to move away from Ibrox, he was going stale. Add Charlie Adam to that file - 3 players who looked like their career was haeding down a cul-de-sac at Ibrox, yet manage to hit top form as soon as they move club. People will say it was right for them to leave but it's still frustrating to see them doing well when they do leave, although I obviously wish them all the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and No. Hindsight is 20:20 and if we kept him and he continued to under-perform we would complaining about how we should not have offered him a new contract - yet we release him, and he hits top form for Cardiff and we look stupid for releasing him on a free. I think the question we should ask is why so many players do not reach their potential at Rangers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a lot of players think they have made it when they sign for us or break into the first-team and get conplacent and into a comfort zone. A forced move away then gives them a kick up the arse that makes them refocus their game and attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,270 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 My impression of the last 4 games from the championship that I have seen on tv is that the pace is slow, players get more time on the ball and the skill level is as mediocre as the spl. Players like Rae, Adam and Burke can be regulars in that league whereas in the spl they were closed down too quickly for them to perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersDude90 1 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I hate how we always look at players like Burke and criticise the management for letting them go. They were not performing at Rangers so letting them go was 100% the right decision. What they do when they leave means fuck all. They weren't doing it here. Players like Burke and Adam weren't doing the business for us so we had to ship them off, for their sake as well as ours. You get the feeling, with Adam in particular, that he needed to be nocked down a level or two for his to actually realise he needs to put effort into it.

They weren't doing it here. agree about the letting them go part but the fact is that there are 5 players all playing in the championship that came from our club one way or another, and we made a profit of maybe 500k on them all ffs we PAID OFF burke (defo did) and rae (im sure) just to get them to fuck shocking at best, criminal at worst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
