Bad coaching

you have to wonder at the teams that have spent big on him and still nobody has a coaching plan that would bring him on

 

[JamSam67]

Don’t like Marmite but like Burke.
Raw talent, tries and fights for the cause.
If available we should buy him.
Any thoughts.

First touch and ball control is shocking , hard to believe for the money he has gone for , electric pace but defo needs loads of work on ball control

He gets away with it against the hammer throwers and carthorses that pass for defenders in the spl. The game against Valencia he looked below the level. At that level there's no room for mistakes, a lesson we get given but continue not to absorb.

I’d love to sign him if the moneys right. Good steady coaching along with a lot of game time, he could develop into a top player.

 

[The Shamrock]

I like him, he isn't perfect but has an engine and knows how we like to see the game played at Celtic.

Computer says No?Yes.

If the money is right...how much would you offer to offset his substantial previous transfer fees?

If they could wrangle a transfer fee which involves his future play/stats the better he plays the more money West Brom recieve, that would be ideal. Let’s face it, no club is gona pay more than 10mil for him at the mo. So there’s a chance if a smart transfer bid was put in place I believe.

Would seriously consider dropping Jamesy for him on Sunday,need all our in form players starting and Forrests no been at it for weeks .

He does step it up though for these games but fair point

 

[TartanTim]

He ticks all the boxes, think coaches have failed to understand him, he comes across smarter than your average footballer.

Hopefully, a deal can be done with West Brom, for an extended loan or a permanent deal, he seems to be enjoying his football at Celtic, just hope he runs riot against the hvns tomorrow.

Just saw in Celtic news now Oliver Burke is saying he wants to sign on at the Summer
We should go get him yes he’s raw. But the pace and potential he has is Scary.
Don’t see many downsides but the Dough to get him. Open the cheque book PL.

Like many have said already his first touch and control isn't great but he's a raw talent that has plenty of time to improve on those areas of his game. If he can sharpen up on these fronts and with his pace and power the bhoy could be frightening. Could we afford him though? I'm not so sure.

Can't afford him Andy.

 

[The Shamrock]

The English teams are always looking for silly money. See the Liverpool asking price for Ryan Kent.

Noise the neighbours up.

It's a shame but I think you're spot on there MD.
