Has anyone watched Burke for Leipzig last year? We've bought him from them for roughly the same fee they paid for him, which suggest to me that while they are not desperate to get rid of him, they are also not desperate to keep him either.

Haven't seen much of him for them, but an earlier poster suggested he didn't set the world on fire.

That said, he was used a fair bit from the bench, so they obviously thought something of him. I'm guessing either they decided he might not live up to the original potential or he might've been homesick and wanted to move on.

He did feature for them in preseason, so it seems he was in their plans a few weeks ago. We can only speculate if they decided he wasn't good enough or if he pushed the move through.

There's no doubt that it's a bit of a gamble, but at least it's the right sort of intent, a pacy attacking player who is young and has potential.
