I actually understand a manager taking a punt on Burke for a few million.

It could be a great signing for Wilder.

At times last season Burke would have been worth a few minutes and id be in no rush to say Callum Robinson is necessarily better than Burke.

He might not be a better player, but I guarantee he will be more interested and won't be such hard work.

[KN22]

I really hope people are right about Burke on this. It would get us serious stick if he becomes something

Please don't worry Topman

If Miriam Margolees was to become a glamour model, worrying type of logic !

Robinson changed games when he came on for us, Burke couldn't change a lightbulb.

For a record signing I don't think I've seen a worse player, his loan spell in Scotland was terrifying. Even at that level he looked pedestrian. He's one of those players that as he gets older he gets worse not better I'm afraid.

He'll be League one/two in a couple of years.

[smethwickw]

I think a swap would be a good deal for us. Robinson will offer a lot more than Burke ever has or will do IMO. However I can't see Robinson being up to required PL standard.

[beechyboy90]

Burke has never looked that arsed when he has played for us Robinson at least tries hard.
Technically burke isnt as good either. We might as well get somebody when can use rather than trying to ship burke out on loan again and delaying the inevitable.

Personally however dont think robinson will make the grade in pl but we are really going to struggle to stay up and we at least know he could lead the line for us in championship if we were to be relegated again.

However if the trade doesnt happen I wouldn't be using any of the budget on Robinson

[NJS]

Still think Robinson's got potential and he is keen to play.  He's quick in the box not afraid to shoot and I think will work well with Pereira.   

[The Black Pearl]

In the last game of the season, Robinson was very dangerous, I think we need to learn how to get the best out of him.

[gazberg]

Callum Robinson starting up front for Sheff Utd today so deal can't be that close.

Burke has (somehow) been named in the Scottish squad for their upcoming Nations League Games

Must help with any sale though.

Does playing for Scotland add any value though 

[BalisPen]

It may still be the case, but Burke was the most expensive Scottish player ever, when you consider the Scottish Players of the past and present it is shocking such a bad player holds that record.

No!

I so wanted Burke to do well, he seems like a nice kid, and he has pace to burn.  However a rocket without a guidance system is just a crash waiting to happen.  He just doesn't see the picture.

I really hope Wilder can guide him and prove me wrong, but I don't think Burke has it in him to listen.

I think if we can get Robinson out of this deal, it'd be daylight robbery wearing a mask and a suite with arrows on it.

Got you're mask?

Nah! but I can recommend a get away driver

[BalisPen]

Any news on the swap deal for Robinson?

After Grady signing, finally flushing this t urd would mean all my Christmases have come at once.

[frazzle]

Would be good to see this one done. Bilic not being fussed about Burke says it all in my view.

Did Burke play against Forest? I’d read that all but two of the squad got time on the pitch and he wasn’t one of the two. So I assume he got time, or is he so far off the radar that he’s not even considered as part of the squad?

[SmethDan]

I've read some online comments in response to his cameo appearance against Israel last night. I'd be gobsmacked if Sheffield United follow up their reported interest. Didn't see the game myself but he was shockingly bad apparently.

Ive read how bad it was too, he was only on for 15 minutes though so I’m sure a lot of is exaggerated because they’ve had a poor result, again.

He has been terrible for years , if they want him I don’t think another terrible performance will make any difference .

[Norfolk Baggie]

I really do think we are doing him and ourselves and him no favours by not completing a deal.  We should now within reason take what we can get.  Anything is an upside
