Gribz 743 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 With the down time for a few days we never got a chance to discuss Burke moving to Cardiff. Getting him off our books is a big scoop as he was a waste of a wage. Some say he under achieved but for me he only showed glimpses of skill but was always blown off the ball with ease. He was 1 of quite a few dead wood and him leaving is as good as when Mo Ross and Stephen Hughes left. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,186 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Burke is another enigmatic player. When fully fit and playing well he was exactly the kind of player I paid my season ticket money to watch - tricky, exciting and a typical Scottish winger. Unforutnately, injury and a general lack of improvement in his game (such as his decision-making and final ball) meant it was definitely the best move to move him on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmidd 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 No loss Didn't have the heart to make it at the top level. Goes down too easily and looks a shadow of the player he could have been 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Like most of our youngsters, they start off great, full of energy and promise but rarely do they improve much and most move on to lesser clubs. I don't know if it's the players fault/attitude or what is going on at the club or training ground but not many really make it. I hope Fleck bucks the trend and becomes a very good player for us but he needs to be getting more games before he can ever do that and we also need better players beside him for him to improve also............ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggordy 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 A player who always had potential and would possibly always have it without fulfilling it. A great shame he often fell just short. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 A lot of the time a players proof is in the pudding when they move down south and cant stand out. I cant see Burke appearing in the headlines much at Cardiff at all. Does that say anything about the level of the SPL these days as well, including the fact the Championship is a league on the move up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yieldshields loyal 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dont know what the script is with this guy, just didnt have the heart or right attitude. Believed his own hype if you ask me. Too much diving also which i couldn't stick. Surely this should have been trained out of him at Murray park.....or booted out of him! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
