Burke! Depends on whether he wants to play football* or sit on a bench watching football. He doesn't look fully fit at the moment - no surprise as he hasn't played much in the past two years - so maybe he should make this his priority. As for criticising the current long-ball style, the fans are ahead of him on this - hence the booing at recent games. Much of our success last year was playing neat passing football and retaining possession (Ferguson more passes in PL than anyone else). Still, I'm sure he'll pull his socks up, buckle down and show Arsenal a thing or two a week tomorrow. * or at least watch the ball sail over his head aimlessly in the vague direction of Cameron Jerome.
