    Still not answering the question. Do you think McClean is a class above Watmore. I sure as **** don't.

    Not really, feel like I'm talking to a politician who won't give a straight answer.

    If you think McClean is genuinely a class above Watmore despite being equally limited as a footballer then fine. My point only ever was that the gap isn't as big as some are making out.

    Why?

    Despite the hatred for him JM was superb for a short while. Did far more than DW has so far

    He wasn't superb, he was ok.

    What about Aaron Lennon? Still plays for Everton. Does he make Watmore look **** in your eyes?

    Huddersfield have Dean ****ing Whitehead playing for them, not the same position but if you're going to tell me he's a better centre mid than Watmore is a winger then I'll never be able to take you seriously again.

    I could name dozens of players in the premier league that aren't as good as our Dunc.

    Bullshit, we're talking about whether or not Watmore is premier league standard. I'm naming players who aren't of his standard who are getting games in the prem.

    Never mind that, your viewpoint is that not only isn't he good enough for any team, he's way off. Nonsense.

    I personally don’t get how people, and I know some have a tarnished image of him, can say McLean isn’t a very good player.

    He has big influence at club and national level, our own opinions of him as a person don’t change that.

    He’s every bit a Prem player as his stats prove. Watmore was looking like he could be, and is a very decent prospect.

    They are not comparable for me yet.

    I don't have strong feelings about him as a person, he's not a bad player but I certainly wouldn't describe him as a "very good" premier league player. Good by West Brom's standard maybe.

    It's beside the point anyway. There are loads of players in the prem at or below Watmore's level. If he played for a good team you'd see that.

    Oh I agree with that, I just don’t think McLean is an ideal reference point.

    He’s a very good player, and if ‘by West Brom standard’ it is, they are a top half Premier League team and have been for 3 years.

    Cant see how anyone can defend Grayson now.

    1 win in 12. 3 points frim safety already.

    No sign of improvement or any indication that Grayson can get these players winning games.

    If he is still our manager in 2018 we'll be watching League 1 football next year.

    Bain and Short can't sit idly by and repeat last year's mistake.

    As for the who would you get argument for keeping an incompetent failing manager. Literally any ****, no one could do worse.

    I'd even give it to people I'd be mortified at the thought of a year ago, people like Ryan Giggs. Alan Pardew could even do a better job than Simple Simon. I'd even have Poyet back.

    Aitor Karanka is available

    We should be obliterating teams like QPR at home not snatching draws. I think we'd have about 2 points on the board if it wasn't for Mcgeady saving our arses.

    A good manager would have our second string mid table.
