Ollie Burke

[Greystones Blade]

Hat trick for Union Berlin last Sunday in 4-3 away win at Frankfurt

All really good goals too, though Eintracht's defence looked almost as bad as ours. Union Berlin is Burke's 12th club and he is still only 28, so something says he may not last there more than one season.

Good god, I hope we haven't got eyes on getting him back!

Absolute fraud of a player where the sentiment from almost every club he's been at is that he's a speedboat without a driver with two left feet who's just come out of a spin cycle.

I'll never forget a moment where he gassed his man down the outside and instead of putting a cross in for players waiting in the middle, he just ran the ball behind for a goalkick like some sort of FIFA glitch. Might have been at Leeds away a few years ago.

The reason why he’s had 12 club is everyone is hoping they will be the club that helps him put his obvious raw materials together.

I don’t think from memory we’ve had a 20 goal striker in the ‘top’ division for nye on 50 years so to be honest we just either can’t pick good goal scorers or we don’t play open attacking football Burke was always going to fail he was at best inconsistent (I did original type a swear word)

Good lad. I hope it’s the start of a good run for him, in a set up that works for him and gives him the confidence to turn his raw attributes into effective performances.

Burke was bloody awful; his best position would be running the line. His feeble attempts to win a header by jumping 5 seconds too early still annoy me to this day.

 

[Vass Borbokis]

Still take him over Cannon.
At least Burke would cause chaos and a bit of excitement now and again.

I'd play Steve Simonsen up front over Cannon.

Im sure i remember him doing it at west brom, also..... in front of the away end, it went down well ..

 

[harrry1990s]

He’s 28, he’s probably slowed down now so the ball is able to keep up with him.

I think that might be the one actually! The 4-0 defeat with Verrips in goal
