The quotes in that article are a bit of a laugh. Burns was an injury risk coming off an average season at Newcastle and a lame spell in Korea. Now it's all, well he won't be staying with Wellington, implication: he can't further his career there...still trotting out this BS "Phoenix, which rejected a $1.2 million offer for Burns from Shanghai Shenhua during January's AFC Asian Cup 2015".
Not sure that we should break the bank to keep him or pay his sister to work at a fashion show, but he'd be a very difficult player to replace. Is he better than Ifill though? At the moment his stats equal Ifill's first season...
