11:12 BBC Former Bradford City winger John Hendrie believes the departure of striker Aaron Mclean would be best for all parties. Bantams boss Phil Parkinson is looking to get the striker out on loan to free up some income within his playing budget. Former City midfielder Hendrie told the Bradford Telegraph & Argus: "It's fair to say Aaron hasn't really shown the Bradford fans what he can do. But don't rule him out going somewhere else where it might well click."
League 2 or Conference beckons.... and to think this time last year he was playing for City away at Spurs in the League Cup
God only knows how he managed to score 30 odd goals in league one. Never a professional player. Willing to throw his neck on the line for the cause but even I have better footwork than him, even if I was wearing clown shoes on the wrong feet.
People always go on about his 100% commitment as if thats something to praise but that should be expected of any player. Put me on the pitch and pay me £5k a week and id rum around like a mentalist but it doesnt mean im good enough.
I've always found it bizarre when people say a certain attacking players biggest attribute is there workrate. There not there to do the donkey work.
He was on my train home from Manchester yesterday! Didn't look very happy with himself! Headphones on and head down, Nice watch though!
He blocked me off Twitter. My mate mentioned him in a Tweet at the start of 2012/2013 season saying how McLean and Simpson fire us to promotion and I said we'd have no chance if McLean was a starting striker.
My memory is a bit vague on this but I recall his almost best goal against Barnsley, (I think) with the overhead kick that hit the bar. A much clearer memory is the ridiculous overhead kick in our penalty area that gave away a penalty - but forgotten who that was against now.
Ipswich at the KC. ****ing stupid thing to do. Leadbitter scored the penalty, and we pissed away two points. Cheers, Aaron.
Ah, but he did score a couple of winning tap-ins at Forest and Sheff Weds. Always a player I really really wanted to see succeed but ultimately he was just not up to it.
Or Charlie Austin, who we were after signing but ****ing cheapskate Blockhead opted for pissing McLean instead for the sake of 200k!!!! If ever anything was to tell you one isn't cut out to be a manager, that is it.
Austin failed a medical and that's why he isn't playing anymore because he can't, didn't you see he retired in the wake of that!
Hope they don't leave him to find his own way out .. with his radar he'll still be trying this time next year
