gunslinger 270 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 One or two seasons and he'll be as good if not better than burke is, seems like he's headed to espanyol anyway.i suspect your right. on both counts. the best i have seen rangers play in the last decae wasa spell when we played a 4-3-3 with cousin up front and naisy and burk either side of him. he also starred in our cl last 16 run. hes done well and played regularily at cardif a team thats done well in the league for the last 2 years. we should not dismiss him. especially over daft shit like he supports them and cant play in the heat which are myths.

gunslinger 270 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 A good player when playing well, Like all wingers sometimes he has off days.As a Squad player would Burke add something to our squad i think he would give us more options.we could go for him instead of conway. he would cost a bit more but almost certainly would bring more.

Gerwelly 115 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Bring him back as a squad player as we need more flair in the team and then it would be up to him to prove he is worth a starting place. Always liked Burke but like all wingers a frustrating player on his game brilliant, when not a waste a space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley1967 11 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Is that the same Burke that fucked us around stalling on the signing of his contract that he had no intentions of signing and went for nothing and lost us transfer money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAmo 13 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Him's a no for me. When he was on, IIRC in season before he signed his improved contract, he was on. Completely on fire. Ran rampant down that line and gave opponents no end of headaches. then he signed. then he evaporated. was happy to see the back of him and I remain such.

biotechnology 2 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 There is no mystery to this..........Cardiff gambled on Bellamy, Promotion & £90 grand a week & it failed.Burke is on £12000 a week, Boothroyd £7000 all the big earners are released or paid off.If they didnt do it this year, they wont do it next or the following.cardiff are more likely to go down than up now.I can only imagine like Kenny Miller, that Burke was unwilling to take a wage cut hence released as he was easily one of the best players in Champ.Its estimated the entire deal for Craig Bellamy was £4.5M-absolute fucking madness & no wonder many teams down south are struggling paying out sums like that for an arsehole.I have no doubt Burke will be in the EPL with a mid to bottom side next year.And HE SUPPORTS RANGERS.

ronniemca 479 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 i agree.but i would point out the fainted in the heat thing is a bit of an urban legend. the lad had a blood virus that floored him for months. hes done well at cardiff. i lways found him to be a ver effective player decent goal threat from the wings and his assist stats were good as well.alright till a big game then shits himself.witness his performances against the tims and in last years wembley playoff.

ogbg 20 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'd take him for no more than £10-12k p/w. He's had a decent season: 33 starts, 5 goals, 9 assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyali 248 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 For Cardiff, over two seasons, his stats were 33 games started, 13 sub appearances, 5 goals and 9 assists. Now, for the previous season, it was 41 starts, 9 goals and seven assists. Compare that with Bellamy, who scored 11 goals and made 10 assists while starting 35 games. For me, Burke would be a good covering buy. A good buy for any Championship club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
