Where is Burns going to play? I don't know too much about him but it sounds like he is more a winger than an attacking midfielder. I'm guessing he will be playing attacking midfield for us though?
Based on not going after another striker and what Merrick said (or it could just be the Phoenix media man)...
Merrick said he had been looking for a player who could play as a midfielder, winger or high striker.
“Robbie Kruse was a good example of that type of player,” Merrick said.
“When he came to Victory as a winger I turned him into a high striker who would come in from wide and score goals.”
Burns said that role suited him just fine.
“It suits my style of game and funnily enough myself and Kruisey used to compete against each other for that role,” he said.
...he will most likely be playing as a wide striker if we play 3 up front or one of 2 central ones if we only play 2.
