Chris Burke

[crodonilson]

Spoke to a contact in the West Midlands last night who has a box at St Andrews. He reckons we have tabled a formal bid for Chris Burke. Blues are resigned to losing him, he's out of contract in the summer and could be available for as little as 400k, but there are a number of clubs in the Championship also chasing him.

Also said we had shown some interest in highly rated full back Mitch Hancocks but the £1m+ asking price Blues want for him has put him out of our reach.

Id love to get Burke in.
Good Good player.

Wages an issue for sure though.

Did Forest bid for him last year.....

Interesting, particularly as an alternative to Conway. 30 year old, so decent business if we don't have to pay a fortune.

In a box at St Andrews? could be a contender for Birmingham City's most famous supporter.

Bloody hell, is this nepotism?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Isn't he really really slow?

 

[JBenno]

The people will be furious with this.....

Daivd Burke's scouting network has only got as far as the next name the phonebook....!!

He always gives us trouble in my opinion.

Cracking goal against us last season also

I thought he scored a deflected goal? Anyway, without doubt he's a talent but hopefully we are persuing some players with pace too.

He certainly isnt slow. Id put him alongside Conway for pace.
HEs a clever player.

 

[Mackenzie]

He's a great little player. I'd be very happy if we get him.

 

[Icy Gull]

When will this rumour make the Argus back page

 

[Ecosse Exile]

I'm sure I read recently that Burke had no intention of leaving st. Andrews as he and his family were settled and happy there.
I remember thinking what a pity as he would be an ideal replacement if Buckley does go to Sunderland

 

[blockhseagull]

A player that has always impressed me when we've played Birmingham.

Maybe now looking at alternatives to Conway

 

[shaolinpunk]

He's always stood out as one of their better players when we've played them. I'd be pretty happy if we got him on board.

If I remember rightly he'd give us a Craig Noone-esque option. Quick but more importantly nimble and creative

No, no he`s not.

Mark McGhee was trying to sign him years ago when he was at Rangers.
If he is potentially coming then Buckley must be leaving.

Unfortunately my contact isn't quite as famous as Lenny Henry, lovely guy though.

 

[narly101]

If we do sign him, i'll have to apologise for verbally abusing him constantly through the second half by screaming his name loudly

Surely, an alternative to Conway?

I would be more than pleased. Always looked dangerous when he played against us.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

No, no he`s not.

Okay, thanks.
