Burki

Post by stanw »

One player who will be out of contract this season who doesn’t have an option is goalkeeper and captain Roman Burki. Burki is the second-highest-paid player on the team after Marcel Hartel and the highest-paid goalkeeper in the league by far.
Do you resign him ?? how much ? With Burki being the highest paid goalkeeper yet our record being what it is --
do sign someone else and put the money to a player that can score ??

I think you do whatever you can to keep him.


The question is does he even want to stay how poor the team has been.

Unless he gets assurances the team is going to dramatically increase the payroll - he might want to leave.

I think City would love to re-sign Burki. But does Burki want to be here? From those close to the team, he hates losing and I don't think he's enjoyed the last couple years. I want him back, but I put the odds of him re-signing with us at less than 50%.

Might have to think Lundt will be the starter someday.
