Abu Derby Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 According to the Daily Record Rowett says this isn't happening. Huge sigh of relief. Hinges on his gate have seized I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 1 hour ago, Parsnip said: We definitely need two more players in that forward line of 3 - I'd be happy with McCormack to play in any of these positions. Not my first choice, but a good choice. Depends on which version of Ross you're getting though, no? Can he be trusted and is it a risk worth taking? A loan with an option to buy might work especially if we could get them to pay some of his wages. Unlikely though as I reckon a few clubs would willingly take a punt and buy him outright. It's a make or break season for the lad which I suppose might offer hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingofbuxton Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 A Leeds/Fulham version of McCormack would be very exciting. If he is hungry to recapture his form is be very interested. The negativity surrounding him last season is quite worrying, however be is far from the first footballer to fall from grace. I doubt whether he has much ability if any, fitness could be an issue but that is easily solved. His mental state and willingness to work hard and integrate himself would be critical in this for me. I'd trust Rowetts team to make the right assessment. I definitely wouldn't want us spending high millions (telephone numbers) on him though.

I think that Vydra only plays under GR in a 4231 as the central player in the 3. But - at present - he is behind Nugent for that position. I do wonder whether we may play 4231 in our first game as Sunderland away on th opening day might be a game where we need more solidity. Will be interesting to see the formation picked for first half tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but could ask the same question, which Vydra are we getting? The one from 3 years ago who scored loads or the majority of seasons when he does very little...he has only had 2 good seasons.....

Sounds like Gary and Vydra need to kiss and make up before we try rejuvenating him. If extremely reliable twitter rumours are to be believed.

plymouthram Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 NO to McCormack, he is an over rated one season wonder from a couple of years ago. Plus he is no youngster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the 'no' due to age and problems over the last couple of years but to class him as a 'one season wonder' is silly - he's scored 17 or more goals in the Championship on 5 occasions.

It was 2013/14 season when he got 28 with Leeds and as never hit that height since. He is 31 on the 18th August and scored only 136 league goals in his career so far. Compare him with Chris Martin who is 2 and bit years younger who currently is on 107 league goals. Clubs have spent Over £35m in transfer fees for him. At that amount of money I would expect a 20 goal a season striker, not one season when he hit that 28. He got 3 goals in total last season. Yes I know Chris Martin only got 10 goals last season, but he did have injuries, refusing to play and that would have affected his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factually incorrect. Mac and Fulhams manager both exonerated him of doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
