Amac9 2,060 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If we sign him hopefully we play him on the left because Jamie Ness should be given a chance ahead of McCulloch, Edu, Hutton and any other CM we try to bring in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 really? So, rather a shit player that costs over the odds, than a cheaper one that is good?Maybe am reading that wrong but, makes no sense to me.You will be reading it correctly, he never makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzGers 425 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 he is unique in the sense that he has blossomed late..he only really became a socceroo at 27, but since asian cup and world cup, he is a regular starter, and one of our best...not to mention he captained a side that went undefeated in the a-league for a stupid amount of games...

Stewballsoz 17 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Matty Mckay will be a fans fav if we get him.He can play intelligent football and is an excellent passer. Mainly a short game with great movement off the ball. Unbelievable work rate and I can easlly see him and Davis playing well together.He is very strong for a smallish guy and wont hold back at all. He is a forst choice starter for the Aussie NT.Main weakness is he is ofet criticized for not scoring enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Td18 3 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Id take him, could well turn out to be a star for us if the Aussies here are anything to go by.Cant imagine it being a big fee as well if hes in the A-League. Maybe £500k tops? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears&Reds 460 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I watch the A-League highlights every week and the odd live game on TV and have often wondered why Matt McKay hadn't got a move to a European football, a stand out player in the A-League technically very good with a good engine, whilst its hard to judge the different standards of the SPL & A-League, i don't seee no reason why he couldn't do well for Rangers.

So, rather a shit player that costs over the odds, than a cheaper one that is good?Maybe am reading that wrong but, makes no sense to me.By pedigree, i mean their standing or history in the gameOf course you may sign someone with no pedigree who ends up being great, but a 28 year old still playing in the Australian league?

mattmckay 2 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 hey guys im an aussie and i just thought id give yall a fair description of the guymatty has a massive engine and will never stop running, ever. but hes not just a headless chook eitherhes very technically gifted and benefits from his low centre of gravity and quick accelaration. hes especially good in transition and is always intelligent with the ball. he is very creative in the final third.yes he is small, but hes played against some lumbering physical ogres who just hack him all day long in the a-league for a long time, he is used to it.mckay is not young, but hes not exactly old either. hes playing at a level currently which makes him a starting XI player for our national team, often getting into the starting side ahead of more established european players that play in the EPL, continental europe and the championshipyou guys shouldnt expect mckay to single handedly change things but hes a very good player and will be very cheap and will bring a lot to your team through his versatility, work ethic and technical abilityweaknesses? of course he has some, hes very poor in the air and although he doesnt win 1v1 duels very often like youd expect from a defensive midfielder, his athletic presence allows him to make up a lot of ground in the defensive third of the pitch. he is very rarely wrong footed and if hes partnered next to a more defensive minded midfielder, they could flourish. another weakness is that for all his work he doesnt always score enough goals. but he obviously brings other qualitieshope i helped Broxi1872 and FieldMarshall85 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The best Australian players have usually ended up in Europe before too long, he's 28 and hasn't left there yet which indicates his talent hasn't caught the eye of too many. But it would be unfair to judge him on that right now, could end up being a good player for us if he signs. Least we're still going after midfielders!

papaguy51 912 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 So are we basing his ability, without actually having seen him play, based on what league he plays in?Odd, but fair enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmckay 2 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 mckay has been on loan twice in his time at brisbane, once to korea and the other to china. not because hes been "shipped" out at all, but because the a-league season is very short and they want to keep match fit so they go on loan overseas during the a-league offseason which is 5 months longindeed, the a-league as a competition is hard to gauge. we dont have a great league but its improving. its not as good as the spl however there are individual players that are good enough to play in europe and regularly move over. mckay could make the move too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
