Chris Burke - Any chance of getting him back !

Sat Jun 18, 2011 6:07 am

I would have thought Chris is well fecked off after signing for Brum then the manager doing one days later. Now we have a new manager with ambition and a good work ethic is there any chance of tempting him back.

Not sure on what contract he's signed bit the scottish factor would be a massive plus.

Come back Chris !!!!!

Bye Bye didnt want to stay now Uncle Mc Leish has left Brum tough shit. Also why do we have this obsession with bringing back ex players when it very rarely works.

Agreed, he served as well but it is time to move on.

He wanted to go to Birmingham for more money so I can't see him wanting to come back anyway. He wanted to go where the money was so let him get on with his career there. New manager fresh start. :old:

I agree, leave him there. I thought he was going back to Scotland to be nearer to his child(ren), he did exactly the same thing as Ledley and Bothroyd who got slated for it.

Why, he made it perfectly clear he wasnt happy here. Time to move on and change our team completely, I hope Bothroyd dont come back aswell.

All these ex players are Jonesy's signings, I want Mal to sign "his" choice of players, Burkie was a great favourite of mine but it's a new era now with a new manager and judging by the way Watford played last season we're likely to see some very exciting games with hopefully plenty of goals, so it's a "no" from me :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

no for me,burkeys lack of physicality,seemingly diminishing pace and poor tackling ability was a big negative for us last season,who knows he may get a good run of games at birmingham hes a class act on his day

Agree with you, great two seasons ago, last season he was very poor although at the end you could tell that he genuinely felt for the club, anyway, it,s a fresh start with fresh new players for me!!!!

He simply isn't worth 20k a week.
