Oli Burke

[Torrix1889]

Who just over a year ago scored our winner at Old Trafford.
In the old days that would have guaranteed legendary status.

Debatable that it was in fact an OG.....

 

[Jinxy1966]

Does anyone remember, or even have a link to the meme posted about what he got up to on his summer holidays?

Possibly one of mine from return to pre-season last summer ??

And the other goal was scored by Kee Ann Bryan. Imagine the odds on that.

Well Theo Walcott got nearly 50 England caps with the same skillset, so it works sometimes!

Not even compable. Walcott had a touch and some technical ability, not the best but certainly not awful. Burke has nothing! An athlete not a footballer.

You can make a good footballer a better footballer, but you cannot make a non-footballer a footballer

His highlights reel…

 

[Stanthemanfan]

I actually think he did a job for us in the premier league where sides would push up on us. Whenever he was on the pitch they dropped back as his pace worried them.

I wouldn't be shocked if he has a golden spell and gets a few goals one season tbh...

He already has.. But the season is summer!
His goals?
New trainers.. Check
Handbag for missis... Check
Stupid haircut... Check
Etc etc

He was the New Luton Shelton. Like watching a keen terrier on the beach at Filey chasing a crisp packet, fast as fuck but you know the terrier had more chance of getting even a half accurate cross in than Burke would ever do.
Even if Werder Bremen have paid half a bag of Quavers and three Tic-Tacs we’ve got the better of the deal.

Oli’s scouting report.

Negatives: he’s shit at football.
Positives: boy can sure run like the wind blows.

 

[Notts Red]

We proper had RB Leipzigs pants down with him, £13m

And you actually paid money for him...although with your track record of buying strikers he's probably considered a success.

Christ, you're tedious.

Christ, you're tedious.

Fucking sad way to spend your life, obsessing over another club’s message board. Imagine telling your mates that’s what you do. My mates would think I’d turned into a sad pathetic cunt.

 

[Bladethebrian]

For a large part in the prem he was our most dangerous forward , go back and re-read the posts from the first half of the second season in the prem

No he wasn’t. He was dogger

 

[Notts Red]

Christ, you're tedious.

Are you still here?

I'm sorry it sounds like you're trying to be sarcastic but are you forgetting that whilst he played for us he scored a goal?

Sounds like a success if you ask me.

The beginning of the end when Wilder signed him.

Please can we have a CONFIRMED on this thread. Helps the feel good factor.

Burke was very very poor- but I still prefer him to McBurnie.

We didn't pay money for Oli the Burke. West Brom gave us him and £3m for Callum Robinson but I'm not going to argue that they got the better of that deal.

Leipzig were the real winners - they may have spent £13m buying him from you but they were able to turn a profit selling him to West Brom. That was spectacular business because by that stage it was obvious that he was shit.

Oh, it actually makes sense now.

"I'm rubber, you're glue" level comebacks - I reckon he's a teenager, or at least an adult with developmental disabilities.

That’s no way to talk about Roy

Jason Lee anybody?

Our track record...

Maybe you don't remember him, being a pig an all that...

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

The whole Oli Burke experience is the definition of Wilders final months.

Fast paced, showed a glimpse of promise, ran into dead ends (literally) & then fucked off (yes I've made it about Wilder again)

I’m guessing him posting on here hasn’t changed his mates* opinion of him at all.

All these Bremen fans thinking they’ve scammed us, wait till they see him in a competitive game

 

[TJB.]

Thought something must be up when I went for a walk earlier. Spotted a flying pig in the sky and walked past the Pope doing a shit in the woods.

Typical Blades, we always sell our best 'uns for nowt. Anyone with one iota of footballing brains could tell how good Burke was and we've basically given him away. File with Currie, Deane, Walker, DCL and Slew. Just because he had pride in his appearance, a certain left field sartorial elegance and didn't want to be confined by the hegemonic power and constraints of the heteronormativity of the fanbase of a post industrial northern city's football team, we have forced him out. Same owd, same owd.
