On Burke - he's had 2 large transfer fees, however he is not playing for West Brom who are 5th in the Championship - he's not even on the bench. Considering our feeling we can get Moult from Preston who is actually playing (be it starting or off the bench) i'd like to think we'd provide a platform for Burke.
West Brom will want to recoup some of the fee they spent, that wont happen while he sits in the reserves. No reason why he can't come up to us, get some game time, rediscover some form that he's lost and they can either re-use him or sell him on. With Derek's ties to the club then maybe just maybe we could negotiate something.
If we don't even try to show a bit of initiative then lord help us as a club. Of course if they want us to pay wages then that's the stumbling block, but got to try IMO.
The £10 Million thing doesn't really bother me since some of us think we have one in our squad already
