He's a strange one, I do wonder if he had the right manager, who knew how to guide him would they get him playing again.

There were rumblings of autism when he was here, which could explain why he can't enact a managers tactics.

Or he could be football illiterate and have always relied on pace and power.

I wonder how'd he'd do under Cooper? Not saying I want him back, but I think he could get him firing again to at least championship level.

A colleague of mine is a Werder fan, and the topic of young Burke has come up occasionally; his take on it - and an accepted story from the Werder fanbase - is that the coaching staff at Werder expressed their dismay with Burke because he was in their words, „dicker als Schwein scheiße„ (I’ll let you translate that), unable to understand or follow tactical and positional instructions both during training and during matches.

He was effectively just relying on his pace and power to get into attacking positions.

It’s a real pity, because physically he has all the tools, and I thought his aggressive, physical style would be a good fit for the Bundesliga.

You could see that when he broke through at Forest. He could do instintive things, and he had the pace and power, but if you watched him when we had a bit of a passing move going and he would be stood there not having a clue where it was best for him to make a run.

With some youngsters it is simply about getting the experience and learning, but sometime the player just doesn't have a footballing brain and no matter how many games they play they still wouldn't be able to read the situation.
