Oil Burke

[Irish Millwall]

Really hope the kid turns out alright BUT:
Hasn’t started a game for a year, out injured or not on the bench for half the games Sheff Utd have played since then. We are getting cast offs from a team on the same number of points as us (happens all the time) Absolutely no ambition by the club as usual BUT, good luck to him, let’s hope it works out

I'd be worried about his record too. However, while Sheff. Utd are in about the same position as us in the league, they do have a good line up among the forwards. It's no shame to be behind McBurnie, McGoldrick and Sharp for a place.

 

[teltin]

He will fit in easily, A big lump that does not score many goals a purpose built player for Rowett,

 

[ballsey]

That’s a relief,
Thought we were running out of shit players.

 

[PurleyLion]

Not prolific though. 172 appearances 16 goals.

Not prolific is an under-statement, 1 in 28 for Sheffield United

Mind you with a name like "Oil" (see thread heading) we can expect him to be slick

 

[PurleyLion]

He can run fast.

That’s about it.

Halfway to being a 2nd Jed

You trying to cheer me up again?

 

[BigPaul]

I don't wish to be negative, but have you SEEN him on the OS?
Weird is being kind.
I don't know what he sounds like because I won't pay for the Recast shit. He might be a very nice lad.

 

[Gaeilge Millwall]

Capricorn

 

[STWall]

Just noticed I’ve called him fucking ‘Oil’ Burke in the title, thick fucker I am. Anyway in the meantime Rich Cawley has tweeted that the medical was done this morning and has signed in time to play tomorrow.

No worries Ilderton he’s a slippery bugger!

He speaks highly of you BP!

 

[Eamon Dunphys tackle]

He has a Lion tattoo on his chest.

 

[Bobwat]

He looks a bit like that Callum Butcher that was with us 2016/17 season. I hope he plays better than Butcher as he was pretty average.

 

[Andover_Lion]

He's been signed for over £10 million quid twice, so a gamble worth taking.

 

[Saxon Lion]

I’ll give him a chance, then I’ll slate him in the haters arms later. Let’s hope he does the business.

 

[Kryan Bing]

He can run fast.

That’s about it.

As long as he runs fast in the right direction...like towards the opposition goal, that's a major signing for us.

 

[BigPaul]

He has a Lion tattoo on his chest.

It’s a door knocker tatt, not a proper Lion. ( like mine and Coops’s)

 

[Stowwall]

Give the fella a chance.
He's also got ears like cab doors, just like me.
Wingnut in the dressing room.
Saw the thread title and thought we had a new Saudi owner.

He's bloody quick but with more control than Jed.

 

[Bexleybill]

Cant be that bad with the money thats been paid for him over the years. Huckerbee was in a similar position when he came to us and he was ok

 

[mfcjohn]

So an attacking player, who can play up top or on the wing.

That's our new holding midfielder sorted then.
