    Aye he does..

    We’ll see, but last night was a surprise for me, didn’t expect him to be that effective.. who are we to argue with BR he knows how to get te best out of attacking talent, that’s for sure.

    I agree, I’m not doing a Sutton.

    I just know that the reason he’s playing there is the fact Weah is just in the door and Eddy is injured.

    For a player West brom clearly have no use for, I doubt it. However they would expect around 10 to 12m.

    Really like him tbh, did a power of work and has great touch and awareness of teammates around him. Really pleased to have him and Weah here, looking like they'll both make a big impact this season.

    Oliver Burke has opened the door for a permanent move to Celtic after admitting he's loving every minute of loan spell at Parkhead.

    The 21-year-old West Brom attacker has hit the ground running at the Hoops after netting a brace on his league debut in Wednesday’s 4-0 romp over St Mirren.

    Burke is looking to kick on after a frustrating spell following the hype of his big money Bundesliga move to RB Leipzig in 2016.

    He moved to Germany from Nottingham Forest in a £15million deal before returning to England in a £13m move when he joined West Brom.

    Burke is just 18 months into a five-year deal at the Hawthorns but is eager to put down roots as he looks to kickstart his career with his six-month Celtic loan.

    The Scotland international said: “I feel at home already and I’m sure if I continue to keep doing well I’m sure I’ll want to stay here as a player.

    “My career has been a bit stop-start and it’s not been great for me. This is just football – that’s what happens. Sometimes things go your way and sometimes they don’t.

    “But I feel now that I’m ready to give my all and it’s really important for me now to get my head down and do the very best that I can.

    “Knowing that I’m going to play football, I think that’s the main thing for me now especially at a young age.

    “I’ve been sort of starved of football for the past couple of years now so that’s all I want to do.

    “I just want to be out there enjoying myself on nights like Wednesday. It was a massive relief for me to score and an amazing feeling. I feel really happy.

    Another year on loan, if he does well, is probably more likely.

    Can't even see that..

    If he does well, he's too expensive for them to let go for another year..

    It's West Brom in the championship. They're a bang average side..

    If he does really well here, i could see us at least attempting to buy him. West brom, like most english clubs, are arrogant and won't care how well he does here. They overpaid for him but i could possibly see them wanting around half of what they paid with a sell-on perhaps, all guesswork mind you.

    Even though we all know its very unlikely its still good to hear him say that especially after just 2 games, another year on loan is very possible for him or Weah. West Brom would be looking for £10M minimum.

    See people were saying that but everytime I’ve watched him he’s been a pure * workhorse :56:

    Weird man.

    Sinclair does but he does that by being able to ghost in from the left, have him up front himself he’s just not a striker.

    Unlikely we could get him permanently, but worth trying our hand anyway. If the player himself really pushes for it and we put in a respectable offer (the part that worries me...) it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
