Bradford City may suddenly gain an army of a few thousand extra fans willing them on to the play-off final in a few weeks time.
Burke is a defender who loves to get forward. I have a sneaky feeling Burke would make a good right back and could have done a job there for us this season. I would love to see Oxford and Burke as are our future centre back pairing though both for West Ham and England, why not. Cullen may have a future with us too. I like him. Add Samuelson to the mix and we have a good amount of highly promising talent coming through right now.
