    Read an article speculating that this loan could tide us over for 6 month until Roberts contract ends...

    Probably not but I'd love that.

    He's 6ft 2in and supposed to be strong from his apps , musonda was too slight for the hardened scottish football had skill but looked a fish out of water.

    Oh yeah I know, I just meant in terms of attitude. But I'm sure that won't be an issue with Burke.

    Very uninspiring, never liked this player from what I’ve seen of him. Another loan too and I’m beginning to think we are * skint or something

    He’s here though so let’s support him

    He can play on the left.

    I think he’s better on the left actually.

    He’s one of your striking options IMO.

    Same sort of idea as playing Sinclair or Forrest inside except he has height and strength that neither of the other 2 do to play with his back to goal.

    I don't get the negativity, granted I have seen very little but a £15 million signing for Leipzig says he must have something about him. End of the day as much as Sinclair gets a hard time if he gets injured we will feel it, same as Forrest. Having this Bhoy on board can't be a bad thing surely? And who knows, if he impresses enough and he loves it here, it may turn into something more permanent.

    I wonder why this isn't a longer-term loan deal like we've done previously with Roberts, Musonda, Arzani etc.

    And what does this mean for the likes of Lewis Morgan and Mikey Johnston?

    Honestly? I think Rodgers is off in the summer.

    Seeing a lot of this at the minute. Would be really disappointed if that is true, surely he'd want to try for 10IAR and really make himself a legend?

    It’s an astute short term signing with Arzani * for the season and Sinclair being mostly dogshite - gives us another good option wide left or right which can only be a good thing.

    All the talk of penny pinching * board is spot on but I’d rather have a decent signing than nothing. For me he should walk into the first team and lead us to 8. Welcome!

    MON THE HOOPS!

    Of course he would, Lenny would have liked to as well.

    Sometimes, we create the situations to * us over ourselves.

    Weah’s a 6 month loan apparently, Burke 6 month loan... just feels like they aren’t planning any further than the summer.

    Diomansy Kamara all over again.

    Might as well just go ahead and sign a * left back in the mould of braafheid.

    True.

    Well, we'll see. He definitely didn't look a happy man after the window had closed in the Summer just gone. Could see that in his demeanor and in the performances, but I thought we'd moved past it now.

    We were told that the board were going to back him in this window. So far we have signed Burke on a 6 month loan, Weah looks like a 6 month loan & we are chasing a striker from the Slovakian league. Still time in the window but i have no confidence in our board to back him :54:
