me to. we'll have watmore, burke, tav, jones and spence to play as wingers/wide forwards. its not amazing but better than what we had. with uche, sporar and crooks as a 3rd striker. think we are almost done in those positions. just need lb cover really. 

Still think Coburn will be the 3rd striker actually, with Crooks as a backup option.

And honestly I hope Uche & Sporar play together quite a bit because they look like they'd compliment each other quite well.

Is it though?

I think there lies the problem with his career so far. He's been played as a winger and a striker without really nailing down what his actual best position is.

From what I’ve seen of him he’s definitely performed far better as a RW than a ST

[RiversideRed 1,216]

Hope Burke is a loan.

Screams panic buy if it’s a permanent. 

Also points to scraping the barrel and being far down our list.

But with what Warnock has done with other if it was a loan or a cheap fee like 500k it wouldn’t be the worst.

I’d want us to sign another winger though. Burke would be an off the bench option. 

[BoroJake 2,345]

If we get burke I would still like another winger

yes i think i'd like us in a 442 especially since siliki is coming. imagine burke n jones wide and siliki n tav central lol. no more plodders who can play in the middle. though i really want payero playing to. think hed be best in a 3 man midfield as the right side one. so 433 with sporar a narrow wide forwad. we can probably shift people round depending on how dominant we are.

[Foogle 2,104]

Not sure how accurate the info is but looks like Burke is on 8k a week. So wouldn't break the bank. I'd give him a chance if he was here, he's certainly got pace and trickery (with no end product). I'm really struggling to see where the goals are going to come from this year hopefully our all round play is better and we can just get a few from all over.

You ain't getting another one. Sorry to break it to you my friend.

[TLF10 4,493]

Did Warnock say anything on Sporar?

Other than possibly say he has no idea we want him and if we are close to signing him it has nothing to do with him? 

[DurhamRed 2,047]

Am so disappointed vif we get Burke after all the players we have been linked with to get this lad who has failed every where he's vbeen. Zero end product 

[Denzel Zanzibar 6,968]

I hope Burke coming in doesn't mean Tav is off...

He does play all over the place, including as a striker but as far as I know he's a "get his head down and run the ball off the pitch" style player.

Like an early Rippers

[Weasel 966]

If we pay anything more than 2m (and even that feels wrong) for Burke then we have been well and truly rinsed.

na it just means we have an actual right winger to play right wing. instead of spence who is a rb/rwb really.
