Chris Burke?

Recently got released by Birmingham City and is now a free agent.

Would anyone take him back on a one year contract, especially with Noone out and in my opinion we definitely need a winger. Could Burke be an ideal player for Ole's style of play and football philosophy?

Worth a look but by all accounts he dipped seriously in his 2nd year at Birmingham.

He is a guy that struggles when things are not right off the pitch. It is not 100% here so not too sure he would fit in again.

I agree, his performances in 2nd year at Birmingham wasn't the best, but neither were any of the players at Birmingham, and were lucky to escape relegation.

But a player on a free transfer on a one year contract could be ideal from our perspective.

I'd think he would want to be closer to his family

Not for me. Would prefer Eagles on a free or look into the loan market
