At Premiership level, more is required of a striker than to simply put the ball away. A degree of being able to keep the ball and run with it is equally important. In the first requirement, he was/is superb. In the second, he just didn't have it. Perhaps playing off a strike partner would have covered up that deficiency but it wasn't the system we played, rightly or wrongly.

It's a shame we couldn't use him and get the best out of him.

Many Forest fans are wanting between £15-20mil PLUS add-ons for Burke.
I can't blame them tbh but would he really cost that much, even in 'this' market?

Buy Litecoin.

It doesn't really matter what the Forest fans want as it's the chairman and manager who will decide the price

Well they would wouldn't they, you only have to look at some of the valuations some of the deluded Palace fans put on Bolasie, Dann, and one or two others, a player is only worth what the buying club is prepared to pay, and not to many clubs will pay £15-20m + for an unproven Championship player.

Ffs give it a rest. Perhaps there were problems with Gayle we do not know about.

Pulis was the only manager that got the most out of him and even he admitted he needed an arm round the shoulder and constant reassurance. He said when he (Pulis) first arrived at Palace he was aloof and distant from the rest of the squad. Always seemed morose and sulky.
I gather none of his other managers at Palace could be bothered with all that. Why would they? As professionals they are at least responsible for their own attitude!
