The Monk 3,207 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 6 minutes ago, DW1872 said: I don't think he played much at all. Looked a good player earlier in his career (N Forest I think) but hasn't really seemed to kick on. May turn into a very decent player but I struggle to see why they need to strengthen their wide areas when they only have 1 misfiring forward at the moment. It doesn't exactly have the wow factor of Defoe! Or am I just biased?! Yeah, he’s a good player but I’m not sure he’s much of an improvement if any on Sinclair and Forrest.

He’s played less than 70 games for 4 different teams. Hardly deadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Not arsed who they sign. We’ve undoubtedly strengthened our side, that’s what’s important. Focus on gaining some consistency, and we should be in a good place come the run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager after manager not playing him? May do a job for the rest of the season but doesn't look like a game changer as far as the title race is concerned.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 He’s not a bad player but inconsistent. Leipzig manager said that he couldn’t take on points and do them, just played how he wanted too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMckee 3,424 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Don't think he will be up to much tbh. Doesn't seem like the kind of player that can come and make an impact in just 6 months. Will need a while to get up to speed I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc1990 1,140 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Announced a loan signing subject to a medical early on a Saturday morning. Rarely do clubs announce a signing before a medical takes place. It's almost as if they're trying to deflect away from something. 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Defoe had more goals last season than Burke had starts yet their fans tried to slag us for signing him. I'm looking forward to them trying to twist the narrative here and make out they've signed a star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,855 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 A few years ago Burke did seem like a promising talent. However, as some have mentioned the last couple of years he's vanished and can't even get a look in for the Scottish national team...make of that what you will.
