To be honest it really isn't like me to allow a youngster to slip through my radar. Had never heard of him prior to the Sampdoria game. Saw the goal and can honestly say That in my lifetime ice only seen Alvin Martin & Rio Ferdinand bring the ball out like that.
Anyone in the know offer any in depth details on the lad?

Are you Texas in disguise?

Nah, if he was Tex in disguise he would have said "It isn't like me to allow an oldster to slip past my ground penetrating radar..."

Burke came on in the second half of the Forest FA Cup tie when fatty tried to humiliate the youngsters to prove a point to Sullivan and Gold. He's like that,fatso.

One of the quotes on BBC sports snips was that Oxford is already on ManU radar, gather he is only 16 or 17. Seems as if we have one or two for the future, if we can keep them.

Yep, think he's ready to start being eased into the first team.

He is nowhere near ready. Reid got him out of trouble time and again.
Put him in front of a top 10 attack he'd be blown away

Didn't he play in the Forest game last season? Looked a bit lightweight then.
Looked cultured against Sampdoria though. Seems to be developing well!

Lard - It was Reid who was maing the mistakes last night. THis kid looks really rpomising. even better Poyet - never passed a bad ball, looks really culturesd and can tackle.

WHAT A LOAD OF COCK
Reid kept them at bay with some outstanding defending... Yes he had the OG very unfortunate part of any defenders life
Not saying Burke is poor he is simply not in the league of Collins, Tompkins or Reid

Got to say I agree with Lard. He's a good prospect and was clever enough to win the ball and go short to Poyet who then always played the positive ball.
A good prospect against a League one team playing out of their skins and doing their best to kick him up in the air but I'd be nervous about starting him in a Premiership match.
I don't get this 'Reid was absolute shit' either. Besides the OG (which wasn't his fault) I thought he did okay.

He is 17, if he was ready to start in the Premiership every week at centre back, it'd be a miracle, I couldn't name you one other player who has been.
He does have all the tools to be top class eventually, though.
