It seems like he would be a good 200m sprinter. He should think about it.

No money in it! Ridiculous really!! Pay a bloke £££££££ to run fast and yet fails at his remit!

Fascinating article- given the lack of tactical nous but lots of natural ability, it makes you wonder how on Earth dinosaur Pulis happened to be the one who signed him. Talk about against the grain!  :P

Maybe because he (Pulis) May have had a vested interest in the signing.......

A loan deal being mentioned. I heard the other day on the liquidator podcast that maybe the club are trying to recoup some of the cost through loan fees  before selling him when is in the final year of his deal. I'd sell him now and be done with him personally he is a waste of space

I think its a case of getting his wages off the books and a fee in some way or another i imagine if theres no permanent bidder.

The enigma that is Oliver Burke...

Perhaps Nottingham Forest might like him back?

There were some clamouring for his return at forest which is why the local papers were reporting on him.

There's something about Burke that I like. There's a player in there somewhere. Somewhere. Somewhere very deep. Pity Jacques Cousteau's dead as he could have come in handy  ;D .

I want to agree with this, but sadly cant do so. I have rarely seen someone in top level football with such a lack of awareness in terms of positions to take up with and without the ball. His physicality is good and his pace is phenomenal but seems lacking in grey matter. Ball control is not great either. We need to move him on.

All the physical attributes and Raw ability but no brain or talent.

I would have agreed with this before the League Cup match against Millwall last season. But that was one of the most pathetic performances I've seen in an Albion shirt. Just not bothered.

Hollywood director James Cameron enjoys deep-sea exploration.

Maybe he can find Burkey.

Sometimes wonder if opposition club scouts read these forums. In which case, it may well knock a few million off players' valuation.

His lack of a 'football brain' seems to be the main theme from all his clubs bar Forest.
It's definitely something that can be learned but whether Burke wants to learn it is another question.

Well if I was a scout I would. The club certainly do and I have no doubt the players look as well.

Sometimes there is no better judge than the fans, and if we say someone is gash then I am sure they will look at it.....
MAGA!

In that case, I think he's magic! Great first touch, brain like Messi and an eye for goal on a par with Pele!! The only reason we haven't played him he's just too good for the rest of our team who are all rubbish, especially Pereira, he's very poor, wouldn't pay him in washers

Don't tell anyone though  ;)

For me he just highlights everything that is wrong with English scouting. They are after Pace, Power and Physically strong players. Without these attributes Burke wouldn't have had the chance to play professionally.

If the club does how come we signed Austin and Zohore given the comments by the Southampton and Cardiff fans.

I know I shouldn't be but I'm quietly impressed with the amount of whooshes the quoted post has attracted  ;D .

I'd be pleased if we can get £2m or £3m for the guy, just to get his wages of the books.
