Hopefully there is a cheap option to buy at the end of the  loan...

Thought that was on the cards when he was not in the team photo. Don't know what the problem is with him but I hope he finally manages to fix it. Certainly not Berahino mark 2 as some twitterers are saying. No problems with attitude that have been reported. Has speed and talent. Slaven says it is concentration that's the issue. Not sure how that can be taught though.

I guess only by playing, hence the loan.  Very, very last chance saloon, but I think he's already been written off financially anyway.

The jury is still out with me on Oli. Obviously has the talent but not the attitude. Reminds me a bit of Koumas but only a bit because Jason was far far more talented. But if the head isn't right no amount of game time will improve it.
I do hope for his own sake if for nothing else that he sorts it out.

That comparison is harsh on Koumas in my view.

Not really. Koumas admitted to not enjoying the footballing life. He was born with the talent, but didn’t take to the daily drudgery. I get that. Burkes history is different, but he seems just as disinterested. His time at was Forest was a joy to watch. A big money move abroad probably didn’t help him. Another big money move to us must’ve baffled both him and some of us. His dig, at whoever, with the Harrods tweet, more or less confirms he’s proved a point to someone. I’m no Sky pundit, but I reckon his days of being MOTM for anything other than a Scottish related game is nil.
Humanity is a parade of fools, and I’m at the front of it...twirling the baton.

No idea what to make of this in theory going to La Liga even one of the lesser lights like Alaves is a step up from where we are at the moment. They have 30 year old Aleix Vidal on loan from Sevilla as the only other Right Winger in the squad so Burke might get some game time. In any event Vitoria-Gasteiz is a very pleasant place to spend a few months. I hope it works out for him but I have to say I am not optimistic.

Has any other major signing ever played so few games, and been loaned out here, there and everywhere. Says an awful lot about the player. For everyone's sake he needs to leave permanently.

More concerning that between Burke, the Chinese kid & Sturridge  we have completely wasted about £25 million, it’s scary to think what we could done with that cash

The Chinese kid I believe was paid for by Lai not by the transfer chest

Good point and to think Burke is about the most polar opposite type of player Pulis would ever want,cant imagine why he bought him.

I would hold it as we don't know who was behind the signing whether head coach or club itself. Things like this we will never know.

Oliver was substituted at half time. Scores were level at 0-0.

Do you honestly think that a transfer of this apparent magnitude was sanctioned without tp's authoritarian yes.

Obviously, the crystal Palace Court victory had nothing to do with it.

But, no way did tp not instigate this signing.

Having heard credible stories telling of the hold that TP had over all football related matters at the club, I for one, will always blame the Chav in the Cap for this horrendous waste of money.

I don't think it's an understatement to say that this has been absolutely disastrous. I think if he were bought for a couple of mil then it might not have been such a waste. Though I think we got absolutely duped paying 15 mil which for us isnt simply Championship change to chuck about. Tony Pulis almost destroyed our club. I'm glad that its now the past and we're on our way back.

I wish Burke the best but I think ultimately he is overrated and being quick is fine but I struggle to recall a moment where he took a game by the neck.

Sadly, we will still be faced with paying him for the remainder of his contract, unless some club is crazy enough to take him off our hands. If Albion are not promoted this season, that would be a chunk of our severely depleted 20/21 income.
I see he didn't make the Scottish match day squad today.

I think he had knock in the previous game so wouldn't read too much into that. The good news is he is getting some much needed game time at Alaves, I know it is not much but it is a start toward rescuing the situation.
