Sandro Burki

Don't know how reliable this is about Burki

SPL: Celtic linked to Burki and Cervic - Setanta Sports

Anybody know anything about him ?

 

Oh my dear...



Sandro Burki im Fokus von Celtic[

Celtic Glasgow interessiert sich offenbar für den Aarauer Mittelfeldspieler Sandro Burki (22). Das Talent spielte sich in dieser Saison auch in den Kreis der Schweizer Nati.




Gemäss der Aargauer Zeitung unterhielt sich das Talent in Schottland vor einer Woche mit den Entscheidungsträgern des Champions-League-Teilnehmers.
Burki selber äusserte sich nicht zu seinem Kurztrip nach Glasgow. Seine Aufmerksamkeit gelte vollumfänglich dem FC Aarau, erklärte er in der «AZ». Im Aargau hat der frühere U17-Europameister seine Karriere neu lanciert. Unter Ottmar Hitzfeld debütierte der 22-Jährige im August gegen Zypern (4:1) sogar im Nationalteam.
Vor dem Wechsel zum FCA war Burki vorwiegend bei zweitklassigen Klubs engagiert, weil er bei YB den Sprung ins Stammkader verpasst hatte. 2002, wenige Wochen nach dem Gewinn des EM-Titels mit der Schweizer U17-Auswahl, unterschrieb Burki bei Bayern München. Im Renommierklub wurde er zu den Junioren abgeschoben.

--------------------

Burki went to Glasgow to talk with some celtic dudes, but refuses to give any information about that.

Personally I think he's just * and no near good enough for celtic

 

Thats never good

 

Hmmmm. I'm not impressed.

 

Hopefully thats just pish then.

 

Hmmm seems are scouts are working cause i havnt a clue who either of these players are.

 

hes an internationalist for Switzerland. Lets hope hes good lol

 

Today's Sun quotes their sporting director as saying:

"I think it is likely that Sandro will move to Glasgow. We expect the transfer to go ahead"

Another * centre mid? Is there a need? Take it that Donati will be returning to Italy then, if this is true...

 

plymouth where meant too sign him says alot

 

I'm really shocked that Celtic is interesset of a player like Burki. Ok, Sandro actually do play for FC Aarau in the highest League in Switzerland and he do it very well now. But there, he have very good peoples around him and they look to him. He is very sensitively, and i think he will never be a good Player in a higher League in Europe.

Sandro was in the Swiss-Team that won the U-17 European Championship. Shortly after this succeess he sign a contract with Bayern Munich, but in this two years he have never play for the first Team, just for the Reserves. After that adventure his next Stations was Young Boys Berne, FC Wil, FC Vaduz and now FC Aarau. He had never made an impact somewhere. Now it look like he is happy in Aarau. Few months ago, i've read an Article about him, and there he say he would stay in Aarau for a long, long time because he is happy there.

Much talks, short result: He is a great Talent, like Evander Snow also one was/is......

Hope you can understand my hard english, sorry for that.

Greets from Switzerland

Hail! Hail!

 

Greetings Trevor!

Many thanks for that information - your English is excellent, by the way. Doesn't sound too good for us at all then...unfulfilled talent thus far, it would appear.

 

Can he play left back though? :icon_mrgreen:

 

Here in Switzerland are some reports from British-Media that the transfer from Burki is ok for January!

I'm not very delighted, but we will see and give him a chance..


No, he is not a left back and not a right back. A defense Midfielder - and i think we haven't got a Problem in this Position.....

 

Welcome Trevor , thanks for the info mate

Found this on wiki ( and we all know how reliable that is )

The 23 year-old was a guest at Lennoxtown last week to see the Celtic set-up and discuss personal terms, and the Aarau Sporting director, Fritz Hachler, is confident that Burki will agree to the deal.
He said today: "I think it is likely that Sandro will move to Glasgow," he said. "He was in Scotland last week and we expect the transfer to go ahead." He also said he expected the deal to be completed in January.
He made his senior Switzerland international debut against Cyprus on 22 August 2008.

In September 2008 he was widely linked with a move to Scottish champions Celtic FC. It is believed Burki will move to Celtic in the January 2009 transfer window. Burki is previously on record as saying that his boyhood heroes were Andy Walker and Bertie Auld. He is also a keen musician and is good friends with Noel Gallagher of the English rock band Oasis.

by the way, swiss media says the deal is done.

Burki: Glasgow, ich komme! - International - Fussball - Sport - Blick.ch


at least people will stop hating donati now, they will have a new scapegoat.


And by the way, he ain't really a swiss national player. he has one cap, that lasted for like 5 mins.

 

According to what I heard on Radio Clyde this morning Celtic are not going to go ahead with the transfer as he didnt impress enough when he was on trial last week.

But I am not sure what to believe as Radio Clyde are'nt exactly reliable

 

BBC has this to say :

Aarau play down Burki Celtic link

Swiss club Aarau insist they have had no contract with Celtic after midfielder Sandro Burki was linked with a transfer to the Glasgow outfit.
A spokesman told BBC Sport that they were not aware that the 23-year-old had visited Scotland last week. It was reported that he was at Celtic's training ground and watched the draw with Aalborg in the Champions League. And the Swiss club's sporting director was quoted as saying that a transfer could be completed in January.
Fritz Hachler told Swiss newspapers: "I think it is likely that Sandro will move to Glasgow. He was in Scotland last week and we expect the transfer to go ahead."
But Burki is under contract until 2011 and a transfer fee would need to be agreed between the two clubs.
The defensive midfielder made his senior international debut for Switzerland in a World Cup qualifier against Cyprus last month.
Burki began his career with FC Zurich and spent a brief spell at Bayern Munich before returning home to Young Boys and then Aarau.
