  11. John Mcginn Club Statement

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted

    I never seen any of the players you name playing for St Mirren, so I don't know what kind of potential they had, but back then the top teams in England were full of Scots. Look at the Forrest and Liverpool teams that conquered Europe in the 80's, both had large contingents of Scottish players.

    Sadly, for whatever reason, those days are now gone. Indeed the last Scot to play in a UCL final was Lambert, 17 years ago! The only top class player to come out of this country in the 21st is Fletcher, and he left Scotland at 14.

    This is not a slight on McGinn or McLean, they are without doubt two of the top young Scottish midfielders anywhere. The point is there's a clear difference between a top Scottish player and a top European player.

    You think it's realistic that either McGinn or McLean will be running out for a Chelsea or a Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League any time soon? Sorry, I don't. It's pretty probable that Quincy Promes will be though, he's the guy who scored a hat trick the other night.

    There's nothing wrong with being a solid Championship level player in England, you can make a lot of money in that league. I think and hope that's where both of them end up, and I think both will go on to represent Scotland at senior level.

    You're making me feel old Top Cat. I remember well - Stevie Clarke was a worldbeater even back then, Lambert though was different though he had bags of potential - we played him as an attacking midfielder and considered him a "flair" player (I remember a game at love street where he did a "Zidane" double drag back) but then we signed Charnley and insisted everything go through him in midfield which marginalised Lambert so he was sold. Motherwell played him as an attacking midfielder too. He didn't actually look like a worldbeater till Dortmund used him as a holding mid. i would say both mcginn and mclean have shown more for us than lambert did but not as much as Clarke.

  15. Speculation Thread

    We need to stop the more outrageous speculation, obviously the fact that some player has been released doesn't mean they are coming to us.....................

    Ashley Cole would be decent back up to Sean Kelly though.

    I'll get my coat.

  25. Where's Shull?

    in General Nonsense

    Posted

    What is going on? Rangers accounts are so bad that you have to think someone's having a laugh. Then Rangers get brushed aside in the cup semi by a Dundee United team that never really got into top gear, And not a word from Shull? Not even his usual words of sympathy for Sevco fans, Aye F**k Em! This is really strange. It's like looking for Lucan only Shull's a good guy. Where is he?

    Plus all the well Kent faces that passed away without shull saying "so farewell then.............."
