Please don't introduce a note of considered reasoning into the gradually rising tide of one dimensionally negative response!

Kin ell, someone's woke up with the hump. Either way, he's hardly a legend,you sure he wasn't the caddy ?

Not at all pal, just dont expect someone to make me out to look a prat when i've actually stated facts unlike him. Also he obviously is a legend if he was playing for Chelsea LEGENDS

Did he ever play for Chelsea ? I thought he didn't, unless he started out there.

Exactly right
Can anyone really see a problem if Burton came on trial for a few weeks pre-season to get fit while he is looking around? He has been playing at a reasonable level and he has guile and experience. If he proved himself to be a handy back-up and a help to some of the youngsters would that be so bad? I know nothing about his attitude but a senior pro can be a real asset at a club. And if he turned out to be able to do for us what Jason Roberts did for Reading or Kevin Phillips for Blackpool, who would be moaning? Surely if it did happen pre-season it is a win:no lose at very worst? Certainly not the end of our footballing world!

I think the difference is Roberts and Phillips have been playing constantly at a high level, and i haven't heard where Burtons been playing or at what level. Agree about it wouldn't hurt in pre season to have him around, helping the younger players, but I don't think it's a serious approach ,even if it was true.

Playing in Azerbaijan - I have no idea how good or bad that is but my guess is Championship/League 1
In truth I was playing Devil's Advocate and my guess would be that if he came here it would just be to train while he looks around

I seem to remember him being quite quick when he played for Charlton. No problem with adding a bit of experience to the squad.

Shirley we're now WELL beyond the days of signing 35 year olds as a sticking plaster to limp through the season on a knackered budget?

Maybe you should practise what you preach before insulting fellow Albions fans & get all your facts right, because that sure looks like a football tournament to me.

They definitely had a masters football tournament, I remember SSN having an article about it last week.

Obviously in Telford Football is known as Golf.
I jest of course but if someone is going to try & make me out to be a prat i wish they would get their own facts right first
