Has all the tools to be a world-class winger in Rugby. 6ft2, 14st, greased lightening. Get him with ball in hand and he’d be unstoppable. Ball at his feet though? Bag of w*nk.
In all seriousness, I think we’ve all seen enough to know what we are working with. All the physical tools, none of the technical or tactical quality.
Doesn’t have a first touch. No spatial awareness. Doesn’t know where to run, when to run, what is a useful run, a useless run, etc, etc. He hasn’t developed under the multiple coaches he has had and that points to him being unable to learn. He’s not a footballer.
If you saw him for 5 mins you’d think he could be a world beater but having seen him make 20+ sub appearances, it’s clear he isn’t up to it.
Hopefully the bloke who sanctioned a £15m punt (Pulis? Williams?) on the rawest of players is long gone. Would imagine once Slaven gets some of the new boys up to speed Burke will be back playing u23s with a view to moving him on permanently?
