He's a better player than the championship should he leave Germany. RB Leipzig will be strengthening its squad with players with Champions League experience this summer. Burke will get a lot more game time next season but it will be in Bundesliga 2 when he's put out on loan. We'll get a better idea next season what his level is likely to be.

Don't RB Leipzig have a very strict rule on the type of players they bring in? I thought they were all about bringing in young players to develop them and to develop their own.

Reports he had a stepladder and binoculars to try and get a better look are unconfirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) RB Leipzig might not be in the Champions League. UEFA rules prohibit teams owned by the same owner being in the same competition, and as Red Bull Salzburg have won the Austrian League, they would take preference over Leipzig.... I still expect them to strengthen, but its still pretty much in limbo their fate for next season in Europe.

ErsatzThistle Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 It was just paper talk but seemingly Strachan is inclined to pick Jamie Murphy, Andrew Shinnie and Kenny McLean for this upcoming game. Shinnie is fair enough I think, I'd have him over Lee Wallace anytime. Have Murphy and McLean really earned call ups though ? I'm not so sure about that. I still have a really nasty feeling that he'll bottle it and drop Tierney for Anya at right back and Armstrong for Darren Fletcher in midfield.

Shinnie over Wallace is fair enough if we continue to carry on with our more left backs than right backs policy. Jamie Murphy is hardly forward thinking and Kenny Maclean will probably need to wait until he joins Rangers in the summer to get picked.

Tierney will play for certain, possibly at right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinnie has to be in this squad...there is no other player in the scottish premiership that deserves a first call up more than him. The fact that a guy that was a Forres Mechanics player (on loan) getting picked for us, for me would fill me with so much joy. kenny mack decent enough player still not 100% sure though.. a little to hot and cold for my liking. kinda lacks the guts now and again As for for Tierney getting dropped for Anya, canna see Mr Strachan doing that. .(i hope)....as much as I love Ikechi, I see him more of coming off the bench for last 20 minutes or so now. As for the starting line up...Same as the Slovenia game...unless any injuries of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think Darren's been there to bring on less experienced midfielders. Who's been brought up to speed to be his replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep McGinn in (nice piece of poetry)..also I think we need to keep Burke in the squad in all...bit of a rough diamond i know, but there doesna seem to be much fear in him, the ideal player to have for an option for the england game.

wanderer Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I doubt the squad will vary much from the last one, and doubt there will be many surprised (if any) in it. Maybe a little more streamlined this time because we only have the one game (there was a fair few players called up for the last squad with just one eye on being used in just the Canada match).

Yeah I agree. he is in no way better than Tierney or Armstrong and i am under no illusions that he should be in starting line up ahead of them....It was just my northern bias after a couple of shandy's last night....

Parklife Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hopefully there's zero Aberdeen players in the squad. Strachan won't play any of them so i'd rather they had an extra 14 days holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
