BURKE,S PROBLEMS

excuse me if this has already been posted,but,a man inthe street told me yesterday that burke has put in a transfer request,reasons being he had split from his wife and he wants to be nearer his kids in scotland and aberdeen has put in an offer.the chap told me he had read this on teletext although i failed to find this statment....... big,big loss if he goes !!!
any news on this?

I just hope this is one of those Chinese whispers that have a habit of doing the rounds. I can't see there being a huge amount of truth in it though, I've heard no rumours that he's unsettled. My player of the season so far and a massive blow to us if he does leave

The way he's playing I'd say a £2 million fee would be on his head.Aberdeen could'nt afford him.

this is utter rubbish.

[skint] Aberdeen? - aren't the players up there all looking to get into the English leagues?

You are correct, its true and he will be great loss to City.

I live in Aberdeen and there hasn't been a single whisper of this in any of the local press or anywhere else.

The Dons are skint and as far as I can make out aren't in a position to bid for anyone.

Aberdeen couldn't even afford to sign Rohan Ricketts on a free.

u mad.

Its true about the family problems but the rest no!

It looks like a ticking timebomb. Fair play to Burke for the way he's playing in amidst all the off pitch problems he has. For such a nice guy he doesn't deserve it.

One of the only players who has an excuse for playing badly yet he still isn't... the other players should take a leaf out of his book!

Without trying to sound pessimistic I can't help but feel it's only a matter of time until he does request to move up north... if not he's going to have a very messy legal battle on his hands and who knows how that will affect his involvement with our club.
