    Why??

    So many articles about Oliver Burke? You would think he was Lionel Messi or something.
    I don't think I've ever seen such a poor footballer talked about so much. Am I missing something?
    My dog has got more ball control then this guy.

    Every so often West Brom make far greater cock-ups than the young and not so young players we have had at our club.

    Let’s be fair Burke has been a great disappointment. However, no relationship between how much is written about a player and their ability. He and his agent are surely just trying to keep his name in the limelight so that he can get a contract somewhere.

    Burke was the typical Leipzig player when he signed for them. Very quick, strong and talented. However for whatever reason he has gone backwards big time since transfer to us. Real pity because the lad should have achieved so much more with the opportunities and skills that he had.

    Cant see him getting back to where he should be but I suppose you should never say never.

    Miller is Regis in comparison to Burke.

    What a ridiculous comparison......Miller scored some important goals for us.

    Ish Miller was a fundamental member of the promotion winning team and I am sure he banged in 20 goals.

    Burke won't score 20 in his whole career the bag s hit.

    Miller's career was blighted by a cruciate knee injury and he had his momemts.

    Burke's career is blighted by Burke and I have yet to see a moment yet!

    Miller scored 14 in 70 for us and took a lot of pressure off Kevin Phillips physically.

    When we went into the Prem Ish scored a cracker at Newcastle and looked like he’d come of age and then the injury wrecked his next 12-18 months.

    I think he had the attributes to have been a “poor man’s” Drogba but once he lost that electric acceleration it took away his X factor.

    A shame for the lad......you always felt he was putting himself about unlike many others.

    Somewhat ‘off topic’ but I remember Miller turning the thug John Terry, and then being brought down with a nasty foul by him as Miller sped away...It was an injury that seemed to end his great run for us.
    Have I remembered correctly ?
