Don’t know how much but will be signed by us and he is a very good player. No Dean Smith intervention because Smith doesn’t quite grasp how some signings aren’t the most fashionable but are nonetheless very good players.

Any info on other targets while we’ve got you?

Seems a long time ago but Raheem Stirling ticked all those boxes early in his career.

OK, so you are really comparing Oliver Burke to a young Raheem Sterling...?? Sterling has played for the top 2 domestic teams in the EPL since 2012 when he was 17 amassing 260 club appearances and 50 plus international appearances. Burke has made just 15 EPL appearances and has spent nearly half of his career on-loan because he couldn't hold down a first team place at (mainly) Championship level.

Sterling may have been a bit "raw" when he first burst onto the scene but don't confuse "raw" with "just not very good".......

I'm all for seeing if CW can work his magic on players, sometimes it works, others it doesn't so if Burke does come in he will get my full support but nothing I have seen or heard will convince me that he can cut it at EPL level. Would love to be proved wrong but I don't think I will be....

That's an awful long answer wasted, as it isnt what I said. Just making the point that players can develop and change from their early years. Sterling was a good example.

It wasn't, you were comparing Burke to a young Sterling....if not then why not just say "players can develop and change"..............? You didn't because that's an obvious and completely pointless statement to make....
 
Too many Olie's. Got to be a world record if he joins. Now we need to find 2 Aaron's to sign.

Grady Diangana nears West Brom move after West Ham accepted £20m bid

ADRIAN KAJUMBA: West Brom are keen to finalise terms with Diangana and wrap up his return as soon as possible, mindful of rival interest from the likes of Fulham and Aston Villa.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

Not so hard up to pay 22m for a midfielder but can only afford 4m for Robbo.

Half of what we paid.

Which was due to him having only a year left on his deal and since then he's played and scored/assisted in the PL and then helped with goals to get WBA over the line.

Have I got this right?😆
 

Scotland fans have managed to get him trending bc how wank he was today. He was only on the pitch 20 minutes.
 
Having signed the bloke from West Ham I cannot see them signing Robinson.
Where has the rumour of us signing Burke come from, if it is Alan Nixon he may have to find another donkey to pin the tail on.
 
Seeing as Wilder mentioned that a couple of signings are away on international duty I'm inclined to think one of our signings is this guy.

Wouldn't look too much into this to be fair, they all think McBurnie is the spawn of satan and too shit to play for Scotland too

Andy Robertson also trending now cos they think he's shite

Wonder when it will click for them that it's not the player that's the problem here...

Scotland are fuckin pish
 
This deal for Burke ticks a lot of boxes for a Wilder signing. Quick and strong, just needs Wilder love and a decent football coach to drag the best out of a lad. Could be the blossoming of a late developer. Perfect foil to nudge Moose in the right direction?
It is possible he has turned the corner with his season in Europe this time?
Maybe I just love the idea of getting him for fuck all, and having West Broms baggie pants down. 😉

I can remember Sterlings long barren spell when the England manager still backed him in the build up to the last World Cup. Not done too bad for club and country since then?

And just what relevance does that have to Burke?
 
They were both there last season, weren't they?

It seems pretty much win/win for them. Get Robinson back and getting shut of Burke at the same time.
 
Scotland’s match against the Czech Republic might be called off. So if Burke is signing, it could happen sooner than we thought.

The relevance is to your post all about Stirling. You wrote about him, not me ;)
Burke is also a striker/winger, and the subject of this thread! Both players are internationals, but the resemblance probably ends there. 😊
