Grangemouth Bairn Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 9 hours ago, Snifter Pee Rot said: Most of the current Man U squad obviously excepting Ronaldo and Fernandes. Don’t think you can mention those two in the same breath tbh. Fernandes always seems to be anonymous against the better teams in the league and during his time in Seria A and in England, the so called bigger leagues, he’s not won anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Roundabout Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Think the hype may have subsided a bit now but. If my team were in need if a goal at the back post, I would want Josh Doig defending that back post. Seems to lack even the most basic of positional awareness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think they’d signed a gazza or a laudrup again. I distinctly remember the bbc doing a minute by minute update piece on his debut against Hamilton. Of course, this all contributed to how funny it was the way it all ended. I done it for you M8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 There should be a thread also for "Managers you never quite got the hype around" Exhibit A: Steven Gerrard Exhibit B: Eddie Howe etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 On 03/11/2021 at 06:21, Theyellowbox said: I've got a vague recollection of him nearly joining a team in Italy, Sampdoria maybe? Possibly McStay in a different boat to others as for the peak of his career, the wages he'd have got elsewhere, while likely larger, would not have been multiples to what he was on. While I get the desire for folk to maybe stay at their club they support, there is an element of what if for some of these guys, which makes judging hype about them difficult. For example, I think guys like James Forrest for example would struggle in England and so has been wise to stay in Scotland but McGregor has made the same choice, but would fo well. Udinese IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time I would watch him playing and not see what others saw in him. But when I looked at his goals record I had to just accept I was wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Haven’t read the thread, so apologies if mentioned (it probably has), but at the risk of attracting flak - I don’t get the amount of current ‘hype’ surrounding Jamie McGrath. I’ve been watching St Mirren since 1976 and while an excellent player, I’ve seen a ton more in the stripes who I understood the ‘hype’ about. I’m not feeling it about McGrath. My opinion. Edit to add: In my opinion, in using the term ‘hype’, I mean by it, a player who is standing out at a ‘small club like St Mirren’. A player whom the bigger boys are ready to snap up, and who is talked about in terms along the lines of ‘St Mirren will do well to hold onto…. is destined for bigger things…should be at a higher level’ etc. Just off the top of my head, I absolutely felt all of that about Tony Fitzpatrick, Lewis Morgan, Frank McAvennie, Steve Clarke, Bobby Reid, Frank McGarvey, Ian Ferguson - to name just a few. I really like McGrath, don’t get me wrong, but I feel that if he hadn’t been stroking home all those casual penalty kicks, the spotlight wouldn’t have shone so brightly on him just for his midfield displays. Connor Ronan has actually caught my eye more. Opinions, opinions. Just like arseholes, we all have one.
