# West Brom: Fans unimpressed by Oliver Burke’s struggles on loan at Alaves

**West Bromwich Albion travel to Millwall this weekend in what is a big game for the Baggies’ promotion hopes in the Sky Bet Championship.**

Millwall are going to be tough opponents, of course, and they have their own playoff ambitions but with Nottingham Forest and Leeds facing one another, this is a good chance for the Baggies to really make a big leap towards the Premier League.

Slaven Bilic is bound to be making sure his players are fully aware of the opportunity that awaits this weekend, then, and he’ll be hoping that the men he picks to feature do the job.

One man that will only be able to watch on, though, is loaned-out Oliver Burke with him currently at Deportivo Alaves in Spain.

Baggies fans have been discussing him on Twitter recently, too, with them looking at his stats from the season so far.

Let’s take a look at what has been said about him:

> Whenever I saw him play for Albion he wasn’t good enough. Probably a very good league one player. Certainly won’t ever be prem quality and may develop into a good championship player for someone. Didn’t seem to have the desire to match his ambition

> I think the price tag has always put too much pressure on his time at the Albion. It’s been too much for him to live up to. Best option for all parties is to sell in the summer. Can’t see us getting more than £3-4mil though.

> No chance – he is a waster – if we could sell, we should do so in my view
