    How is it pointless? We have one right winger at the club, the boy needs a rest and/or we need to have the option to replace him later in games without needing to change shape/formation.

    Short term again..

    Seriously what are our scout's doing?

    We signed Sinclair first season but the rest have been Roberts loaned again after being here before Brendan, Hayes, Morgan, Arzani loan (he didn't even know about) and now Burke..

    I thought just maybe we may of been able to strike a deal or a loan to buy cut price as they'll need to acknowledge they need to take a hit wherever he goes and looks completely frozen out....but nah, some pishy 6 month loan and that's it..

    Morgan maybe needs another loan deal, Arzani injured, probably bring in Weah too..

    Don't have an issue with this, he's shown enough promise to command two big transfer fees. Let's give him a chance..

    I'm more and more of the opinion Lawwell just plain doesn't trust our scouting team, mate. You can see that he is definitely willing to invest serious money if they prove themselves on loan first (Edouard and a serious bid for Paddy). The only exception we bought outright for big money is Ntcham who had played in Serie A and came from Man City where Lawwell has his own contacts.

    I don't blame him TBH. I don't trust our scouting team either and a couple of bad investments could set us back years. What I don't understand is why he doesn't just boot Congerton to * and bring in his own scouting team.

    Again, I'm with those few who can see some sense in this deal.

    With Arzani injured, there's literally nobody who can challenge Forrest down the right. Burke can help with that and provide some cover in that area whilst Arzani is recovering ahead of next season.

    Burke leaves in the summer after hopefully helping push us over the line, and then we get Arzani back to try again (who looked like he had something about him in his cameo).

    Not exactly annoyed with it. Let's see what the rest of the window brings.

    We already have six wingers at the club, if you include Arzani, as he’s here for a longer loan. It doesn’t really surprise me that the board won’t sanction a permanent move for him, added to the fact that WBA clearly want to keep him, and we don’t know if he’d come here permanently.

    We need a fresh approach in attack and he might provide that.

    No chance mate...MJ will play a big part this season, more likely Morgan is loaned.

    Underwhelmed so far but lets see what this lad can do for the little time that he's with us. Hopefully he will pan out as a success.

    I get it's a fairly underwhelming first signing of the widow.. but there's 26days left.. judge at the end of it..

    Well if he doesn't trust him or Congerton then do something about it..

    Or is he just gonna give us loans and scraps from now till Brendan decides he's off..

    We have 1 right winger who has done us a turn but must be out on his feet. We have another on loan who was injured 10 minute's in and that was month's ago..

    In all that time, we didn't have any replacement lined up for a decent price on a permanent deal, that had more than a stop gap 6 month's vision..

    No doubt Burke will be on 20/30 grand we have to pay a large slice of. Be better getting someone in from Scandanavia, Balkans, Holland or wherever on a long term for 10 grand a week tops..

    I'm not so sure, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they are thinking MJ needs game time so they bring in a loanee to replace him while he is out getting regular games. It's not what I would do right now, but as I said it wouldn't surprise me if that was their take.

    True..

    The concerning part is that he's the first 1 in though..

    You'd think our biggest target's would be a priority before heading to Dubai. We're still haggling over pennies for a striker..

    Burke in first off on nothing more than a 6 month loan isn't doing anyone any favours here..
