CONFIRMED Oliver Burke

[Bruce Wayne]

Man looks like an knock off JOC.

Maybe that's the plan, sell JOC and put him at LCB and hope nobody notices.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

"It's a move that suits all parties and we are delighted to have Oli in the building. He's had a couple of big moves in the past that haven't gone as he'd have hoped, but it's down to us now to give him a kick-start and he's got all the attributes we want and need.

"When you put it on paper at the end of the window and take a sigh, it's been an outstanding summer for us, we will 100% be stronger than when we stepped through the door into the Premier League and that's how it has to be."

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

How many other clubs have binned off two record signings in just over a year, like we just have? (I know Robinson and Freeman aren't recording signings now, but they were when they were bought)

Yes we are proper crap.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Oh I wasn't having a dig, I was genuinely wondering.

Fair enough mate.
don’t know

 

[coaxingstar71]

He seems to have lost some timber since his Forest days....



Predominantly a right winger but as we don't play with wingers, I can only imagine he's been brought in as a forward. Certainly got pace and he's 6'2" so should be useful in the air.

 

[Varkanoid]

Might have been an easy transfer to pick up and use up front just in case the target for the real striker they are after doesnt come off they still have somebody new up front.
I dont think CW has finished yet.

Manager Chris Wilder said: "We needed a touch of pace and Oli certainly gives us that.

"We are delighted to have Oli in the building. He's had a couple of big moves in the past that haven't gone as he'd have hoped, but it's down to us now to give him a kick-start and he's got all the attributes we want and need.

is that a dig at SUFC ? Is he saying he wasnt welcome into the family at the Blades ?

West Brom complete Robinson signing

This and the Oli Burke transfer to Sheffield United from West Brom are linked with both players moving in the opposite direction for undisclosed fees.
Callum Robinson, 25, spent the second half of the 2019/20 season at West Brom – scoring three goals against Nottingham Forest, Bristol City and QPR.
He said: “I can’t wait to get going.
“Discussions were taking place over the summer but these things take time. I’m thankful it has all been completed and I’m really happy to be back here.
“I really enjoyed my loan spell last season. The Club is a fantastic place to be. It has a real family feel to it. The players, the staff, the fans. Everybody.

Absolutely gutted if Spurs miss out on Ollie Watkins. So much talent, plays anywhere across the front and scores all types of goals. We've been crying out for a player like him to come in as cover, and be good enough to force his way into Jose's starting eleven.
Jim Hughes

Jim sent us this text at 11:30 BST. Three minutes later Villa had announced the signing of Ollie Watkins...football can be harsh sometimes.

I know wrong Ollie but I found it funny.

 

[mattbianco1]

Why does the clubs interviewer ask a question with the answer.....

Yeah I notice that. He's quite annoying TBH

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Know your Olivers.

Ollie Norwood
Oli McBurnie
Oli Burke

 

[1987]

Robinson wasnt going to play, so weve got this lad for better than nowt (wilder said a few quid came our way too). Has clearly got the attributes, so im all for it, got to be worth trying to get him to realise the potential hes got. One more coming in too, which i expect will also be attacking.

 

[SufcBilly]

Interesting he says theres another one lined up in the next few days

For simplicity’s sake I’ve decided to hate all of them.

 

[Guesty]

Yes we are proper crap.

I didn't say that, did I? And what I said is accurate. Anyway, I was just asking a question.

 

[SufcBilly]

Emmanuel Dennis

Has a wry smile when he talks about it

 

[robbiez666]

Is this a straight swap deal? If so, it seems like we've been shafted.

Another failure project. They tend to go nowhere. But I guess we know Robinson won't work so I guess nothing to lose other than money.

 

[snb69]

He's (hopefully) going to be 4th or 5th choice, Robbo hasn't worked (and we know CWAK can be ruthless moving on). One more striker would make this an excellent window

 

[Barney]

We've gained money in the deal.

Wilder said a few quid came our way in the interview.

 

[Barney]

Have to say, because it's a permanent and not a loan, it does seem like we'll be going for another loan but could be wrong.

 

[SufcBilly]

I would expect that aswell

 

[1987]

Bit of a loaded question.

If you listen to Chris, "a few quid" will be coming our way.

Wilder mentioned a swap "and a couple of quid coming our way"

 

[Guesty]

Bit of a loaded question.

It was a genuine question about something that has genuinely happened. It's not my fault everyone has gone on the defensive.

Watch the interview. He says it’s Burke + cash ( not Matty cash)

 

[Wards]

Size of them ears!!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

So basically, not really based on anything concrete, and on an interpretation of social media. It was a punt that didn’t work out – it happens. It doesn’t mean he was a disruptive influence – can you actually point to any examples of that suggesting he was any more of a disruption than anyone else in the squad?

The below is incidentally from an article today in the Athletic:

There is also a degree of mitigation when it comes to Morrison’s inability to make a favourable impression at Sheffield United last season. This time, there were no disciplinary problems and, if anything, a fair amount of evidence that he is a more rounded and mature individual, whose behaviour has dramatically improved in the last few years. The problem was straightforward: Wilder had a settled side and a preferred formation that did not require a No 10, Morrison’s usual position.

2010–2012	Manchester United	0	(0)
2012–2015	West Ham United	18	(3)
2012–2013	→ Birmingham City (loan)	27	(3)
2014	→ Queens Park Rangers (loan)	15	(6)
2014	→ Cardiff City (loan)	7	(0)
2015–2019	Lazio	4	(0)
2017	→ Queens Park Rangers (loan)	5	(0)
2017–2018	→ Atlas (loan)	18	(3)
2019	Östersund	6	(0)
2019–2020	Sheffield United	1	(0)
2020	→ Middlesbrough (loan)

All those clubs, managers frequently saying he has the skill but not the attitude or dedication of a professional footballer.

Perhaps I am basing it on odd snippets from past managers. But it doesnt add up the fact he keeps getting passed around these clubs.

Perhaps it’s just that he doesn’t have what it takes to be a successful top level footballer, rather than him being a disruptive influence?

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Oliver Burke's kick ups record is 6. Just think about that for a second.
