BACK TO THE OP........McClean walks on water, Guttedhairy walks on ice, just a question of what will crack first
 
Errr where the ****s the mags gone [ think we've bored them to death] have to try that with 5-1 and tash
 
I've never seen a full mackem match yet where McClean has player the full length, so cant really judge him properly. I've only seen highlights of the games, so obviously its only his plus points ive seen...

I think he's great, a fantastic buy. You'll do well to hold on to him if he continues like this as i think hes only young isnt he? Hes a lot different to Gutierrez though. I think Guti is a much more defensive winger and he's playing on the wrong wing to his stronger foot so you know he's always gonna cut inside which frustrates the hell out of me... Id much rather someone like McClean on the wing.

Gutierrez has an amazing work rate though and relieves the pressure a lot, i just wish he didnt go down needlessly sometimes and crossed more or just improved his end product really. McClean seems great in the final third, whats he like defensively and in his own half?

Looks like a great player like

wins loads of balls back in midfield and never gives up with an engine like a Porsche.
 
Good to hear (for your lo anyway :P).

Its nice to see a winger that keeps himself in the game if things arent going their teams way. A lot of times good wingers can go absent at that point and just rely on the service to them, rather than getting stuck in themselves.

Took his goal against Stoke well. Heard motd say he was from Northern Ireland, and i cant be arsed to wiki him at the minute, has he played for NI yet? Or has he done that annoying traitorlike thing of playing from RoI as a lot do these days?

Shane Ferguson and James McClean could be playing down the left for them if so!
 
Bit of a daft question. Argie international vs a relatively unknown and unproven talent.

A couple of seasons under his belt and then the question can be answered.

He want's to play for the Republic but in Northern Ireland & Glasgow everyone has their own loyalties, you have to have lived amongst them to understand it.<ok>
 
He was probably on about our £13m striker called Asamoah Gyan, so that means we've been without or two first choice strikers for most of the season... ;-)

As for someone praising the mecurial manager that is Diego Maradona then I'm glad he was quickly put in his place. The one thing I'm sure we can all agree on is that Maradona is an absolute idiot who hasn't got a clue how to manage a football team.

As for the original mass debate on this board, if McLean had the tactical and defensive qualities of Jonas then he'd be the worlds best player and vice versa. Personally if I was a manager I'd want a left winger who is better attacking so I'd pick McLean, if I was playing away at a top top side though and wanted to defend then Jonas would be my pick.

Got to disagree mate McClean has been brilliant defensively for us, he has covered Ricco's arse every game.
The lad makes the energizer bunny look tired what a fecking engine..
 
Having the seen the comments, but McClean has looked promising and we know Gutierrez is a decent player but I would have to say I ain't see enough of McClean to judge, though I get the feeling he is going to be one hell of a better player.
