Lloyd 10,756 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 he couldn’t handle playing for Rangers but he’ll do well down south and earn a move to the premier league imo, I really hope we have a sell on fee clause in the deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothianbear 361 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 No doubt the guy had talent but he wanted away so correct decision to let him go, but went too cheaply . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Sell him for a poultry 500k and leave ourselves with Windass and Kranjcar as our left midfield options? Can't get my head around anyone saying yes tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDFM 3,809 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Yes. People didn't like him because he wasn't cutting about tackling like Souness despite the fact he was a 5'9 twig of a winger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is destined for bigger and better things, and fully expect him to be playing for a premiership team soon. The only player at Ibrox who gave you excitement when he got the ball. Utterly amazes me how many of us failed to see how good the guy was. he was our best player by far - in one or two games a season. He was not even close to being the kind of consistency required and a complete passenger in far, far too many games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I completely get people's views about his attitude and not having a great season last year etc. but I personally would have kept him. He was the only player with any real quality last season and I feel we're still lacking that this season. This isn't me changing my view given how well he's doing and how shit we are, I said at the time I would have kept him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboscot 1,176 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Shitebag who had one good game in 10. All the talent but hardly ever showed up, best that we got something for him than fuck all when he left on a Bosman at the end of this season.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Agent is full of shite. Forest willing to pay more my hole, the player was unhappy, inconsistent and had the fans on his back for being a moody, lazy fucker and more importantly- his contract was running down. That’s all they were willing to pay but where there is a chance to have a dig at our club then cunts like this won’t knock it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm surprised the UN never got involved with his troubles in all honesty. After all he was treated in a way no human being should ever be treated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,872 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It was the right move to sell him, but we undersold him massively. He was linked with a £6million move to RB Leipzig after we played them. That may have been paper talk, but we shouldn't have sold him for 12 x less.

Ryju84 3,170 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Barry M was too lightweight for the Scottish Premier League. Might he do well in the Italian B league or some country where flair is given a chance... maybe. In fact, probably yes. But up here Pedro at least gave us a team where the majority of players are now broadshouldered and wont be pushed over. Unfortunately BM was part of a Warburton team that was (and I paraphrase Chewin The Fat)... Good guy, good guy, wank, pushover, lightweight, nancy boy, spice boy, good guy, an actual bhoy, pushover, pushover, lightweight ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Bear contacted Leipzig pretending to be a journalist and they informed him they had no interest in McKay. If Oli Burke hadnt been signed by them that story would never have materialised. As I said the only offer for McKay was from Forest. Rangers 1st team was too much for McKay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,252 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The right manager in the right team he has huge potential. Needs to deliver consistently though. Was offered a new deal and decided he wanted to leave. Good luck to him. Wouldn't surprise me if we jumped at the first offer like the amateurs we appear to have become.

The way I read it was he wanted to stay but he was given an offer (when Warburton was in charge) which he rejected then there was no follow up. Obviously if he did genuinely want to go then the club were right to sell him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been brilliant in the championship so far, no idea how he isn’t in the Scotland squad tbh. His talent will take him there despite his lack of heart, consistency will come with age.

ElBufalo20 7,892 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 We would've got more money if other clubs were interested and could've started a bidding war. But the fact is he's not that good and no one else was interested in him apart from Warburton which says it all really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza2258 478 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 No. IMO he was only sold as he was likely to command a decent fee, same as a couple of others that were sold. Don't think Pedro wanted him out of the squad, but, wanted to bring in his own players and was told we needed to bring money in to accommodate that. His desire to build his own team was greater than his desire to keep our decent players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Absolute shitebag of a boy who turned up maybe once every 8-10 games. No problem at all with him now playing elsewhere, in fact I’d have driven him but 500k was probably half of what we should of commanded for him especially given the fact they’d just sold a player for £15 million quid and had money to burn.
