CONFIRMED Oliver Burke

I tell you what I wish SUFC were managed by a committee of experts on here instead of the team that's achieved 4 years of constant and vertiginous improvement.

Fair enough, but Wilder has got some signings wrong - often fitting this sort of profile...
I think people are entitled to share their concerns.

 

[Houso]

Given there's a suggestion that Bilic is willing to pay 4million for Robinson and we want double that. Wonder if we'll see 4m plus Burke, or something in that region.

I’d take that. Moving out player we know isn’t good enough for the position we want him for to potentially bring in a player in a different position who might well be
Frees room up front too

 

[SufcBilly]

Be interesting to get a player who has combined transfer fees of £28 Mill for nothing

 

[Bill puntin]

Can see Burke and Leon Clarke next signings

 

[Westran]

This whole argument of wilder getting signings wrong is a load of bollocks! So what if he has, he took us to our highest finish in decades, I've been left bemused by loads of signings but I'll never question them, cos I know fuck all compared to CWAK.

 

[Blade56]

Can see Burke and Leon Clarke next signings

Along with Kieran freeman

 

[brownblade]

Genuinely had forgotten Burke existed. Surely he can't be valued between £3-5mill as suggested by this transfer rumour.

 

[Davalon]

I think we're all allowed to voice our opinions on the talents of players linked with us.

Doesn't mean we think we know better than the people that matter.

Be at bit tedious if every single post in response to a player linked with us was 'in Wilder we trust.' That statement is obvious to 99.99% of us.

I'd be very disappointed to get Burke but would clearly hope that my misgivings proved to be greatly unfounded.

 

[Jan Age]

I heard a rumour Forest want Burke but I think they want Freeman more. Maybe this is a smoke screen to get then to the table to discuss a Cash plus Freeman deal ???

I think they know we won’t offload 2 attacking players this year.

Let forest take Burke he's shit.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Underwhelming to say the least this is not the level of player we need.

 

[Chabuddy G]

Is he likely a better bet at RWB than Kieron Freeman? I’d like to think so. On that basis it’s a thumbs up for me.

 

[TJ blade]

Correct, I was under the impression we we're trying to bring in better players not build a side to challenge in the the Championship!!

 

[Champagneblade]

Burke + 4m for Robinson.
Freeman + Burke for Cash

Job done

2 players off the wage bill. 4m in plus Cash.

As an aside it's difficult speaking about money when Forest players are concerned given they have both Cash and Lolley!

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Correct, I was under the impression we we're trying to bring in better players not build a side to challenge in the the Championship!!

Makes no sense at all you have Leeds linked with Edison Cavani and Odsonne Edouard and we are linked with Oliver Burke

 

[Grizzly blade]

I think the issue is one talked about before.
Leeds just came up and have a huge increase in budget to spend. Like it or not they have more funds available than us.

We’ve already shelled out close to £100m on players in just over 12 months (full cost of transfer) and yet we still can’t compete anywhere near other premier league sides other than maybe West Brom with wages. Therefore we still need to try and seek value and the type of player who will over achieve and have to prove themselves.

We are still many years and realistically new ownership away from competing at that level.

Is this sarcasm

 

[Chabuddy G]

Is this sarcasm

No... should it be? Freeman we know is not of the standard required in this in division. A lad who’s accumulated 30m in transfer fees in his career and is still just turned 22 off the back of a decent spell in La Liga might be. He might not. It’s not rocket science.

 

[Chabuddy G]

Being linked with players doesn’t mean you’re going to sign them though does it? We could get linked with Miralem Pjanic, means fuck all
Have Leeds signed either of those players? Are they going to? Nope.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

If, and it is an if, we are allowing Robinson to go that does imply we are on the verge of bringing in one or more additional attacking options otherwise surely we wouldn’t be letting him go.

He’s an attacking midfielder that’s what I was getting at

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Don't play with wingers so not sure why we are interested in him

Never said that did I? and who is to say they won't sign any of them.

 

[Chabuddy G]

He’s a winger, he’s been played upfront, in the 10 role, and at full back. His versatility is one of his strong suits.

Probably because Cavani off to Benfica and Edouard will be going to a top 6 side if he moves at all

You might see that as versatility, but fans of his previous clubs have mainly just observed managers struggling to find a role for him in their side..
