Oli Burke

[Red Wing Blade]

Ten clubs in nine years and only 17 career league goals as a striker, and he's only 25..... and I though Danny Cadamateri was abysmal.

174 league games / 17 goals

Awful player.

 

[Bladesman]

He is a winger playing as a striker or he was for us anyway.

That lad is such a disappointment for the speed he has

More like a fraud playing as a footballer.

He is a winger and fairly average one at that. Runs blindly forward with no idea what he is going to do next.

Why managers try to shoehorn him into their team as a striker I don't know. When I am sure he made a name for himself at Forest as a winger.

In the wrong sport, should have gone into athletics.

I’ve said before (maybe on this thread) that there has been a trend in recent years to prioritise athleticism over ball skills in players and Burke is the apotheosis of that. He’s a decent athlete with the ball skill of the average Sunday league player.

 

[Jan Age]

Still find it mad that he scored a Premier League winner for us at Old Trafford.

It was the luckiest goal though… not exactly a sweet strike

I’ve always thought Rowett knows what he’s doing, but how dumb do you have to be to sign Burke twice?

 

[Bath Blade]

Gone to Birmingham on a season loan. Hope they’re not expecting too much.

 

[Rodley]

Gone to Birmingham. What an Agent this boy has, unbelievable!!

[Carlton Blade]

Old breezeblocks for feet keeps getting a contract

 

[SUFCinks]

I’m glad he’s no longer here but i hope he finds a club where he is valued. He might need to drop to league 1 to find it. A great athlete but never a good enough footballer for the top leagues IMO.

Amazing that any manager thinks that now they can get half a game out of him where can deceptively look like a footballer
