alanmidd 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Heard on the grapevine Burke will soon be leaving on loan, possibly with Shinnie and Steven Smith. Not sure where yet, but will be good moves for all 3 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Couldn't give a toss about Burke. He's had loads of chances and never took them since he signed that big contract. He's a waste of space! As for Smith, if a loan move will get him back into our 1st team then he should go for it. Don't know anything about Shinnie other than he was baws in FM08. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,394 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Shinnie is a decent youngster. Apparently Dundee want to take him on loan. Smith and Burke are likely as well given they are both well down the pecking order. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Personally i would rather Burke was sold to get him off the wage bill,so we can get someone else in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he's clearly not got a future at Ibrox and we tend to carry far too many expensive passengers as it is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Agree with Gav, get Smith first team football somewhere if it can help him. Dont know about Shinnie. And as Gav says get rid of Burke - total waste of space who is no longer a promising youngster. He has been inconsistant and lightweight for about 6 years now so that says something. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Absolutely pointless putting Burke out on loan. If he ahsn't made the grade now, he never will. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 7,613 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Looks like Nottingham Forest will be Burkes likely destination. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 i think it would be a good move. burke's biggest problem is his tendency to get injured. he has looked exciting when he's played, and in several european games he's been our most dangerous player. he needs a big, big, run of games if he's ever to get past his injury-proneness and turn into a decent, consistent, mature player. he's not going to get that at us - but a loan move cant hurt us. if it slightly eases the wage bill, gets him match fitness and puts him in the shop window, everyone wins. it would be a good move i think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Absolutely pointless putting Burke out on loan. If he ahsn't made the grade now, he never will. no its a good move by the club actually. gets him off the wage bill for the remainder of his contract. I hope smith impresses where ever he goes. I would love to see him back at the club in the first team but I think this will see him ply his trade elsewhere in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
