I've heard that Gareth Bale is known as the old Oliver Burke

[Baggievicar]

Do you think it's significant that we've signed someone with ears that look like the handles on the FA Cup?

Sounds like Chadli is on his way
And seems we are waiting for another City offer for Evans,

Beefy are you sure his name is Oliver not ima,  I can see it now, tomorrow you'll being saying " I can t believe I fell for it, ima burke"

Where abouts in Scotland mate? I've been in Glasgow for20 odd years

Moses, not quite sure what your post is about. I have been to Scotland twice, once a flying visit to Glasgow over thirty years ago to join a royal navy ship for sea trials as a sea cadet and once for a weekend to Edinburgh with my wife .........

Didn't see that one coming, talk about keeping it under the radar. He's well regarded here in Scotland although I know nothing about him as a player. Maybe our signing Alexis Sanchez has been an equally well kept secret

Where are in Scotland? I'm exiled in Glasgow.

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.

I've got to the point now where I hope Evans goes. I know times have changed but weren't we all laughing not so long ago about Shevchenko going to Chelsea for £30m as a 30 year old. For me though the main problem isn't the money, if your injured your injured but last time I checked injuries prevent you from playing international football so how is he already called up to the NI squad and looking likely to play but for us he's injured. I'm sorry but what happened to the days of a player earning their transfer by playing well week in week out all the way up to the transfer and not crying out as soon as a club is interested.

I'm sorry I'm tired of supporting players that just don't want to be here. Don't get me wrong I know all footballers are mercenaries these days but how about even a little respect for the thousands of people who spend a large proportion of their disposable income on watching you and making the sport as lucrative as it is.

Time to get rid of players that don't want to be here and get in ones that do!

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.

He's a twenty year old laddie who was learning his trade at one of the wealthiest clubs in the bundesligue. Its no surprise he found it a bit hard to adjust tactically.

I think he will do fine for you.
