Cant get my head round what it is with WS and LM... Maybe he is trying to justify his price tag by the whole versatility route he has took with him.

Edu? both players offer just as much dig and far more that big lee just doesnt. think your missing the point, i didnt mean he will be a main starter but he will do a good job when we need him, because we all know after last season injuries can come in numbers so we need squad players like him, i didnt mean for 1 second to drop thomson, edu mendes or davis.

cam69r 8 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 McCulloch used to be a striker and at 1 point was handy for Motherwell as a striker. He is no longer any good upfront. No pace or real finishing skills. Moved to Wigan where he became an AML, i really like him there in the Uefa Cup run. He was a fantastic out for a long punt upfield as he was good in the air and most full backs aren't typically as tall as Lee. He also works mega hard and provides an edge when defending/attacking set pieces. Centre back, he can fill in if needed. Wouldn't worry too much about him. Although he doesn't set the world alight he isn't really the worst if we think about it. Just too many times when the team isn't playing well and giving him service he can't make a chance on his own. Not very creative which leads to stick he gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 He more than held his own in the EPL, i was not disapointed when we signed him, but his contribution to our side has at best been patchy. Maybe the much vaunted EPL is not quite what its cracked up to be, pre season or not even the tims 2nd string gave multi million pound Spurs a doin at the weekend.

Boab 73 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 He will probably be a stand-in CH. Cannot think where else I would use him.

He was a fantastic out for a long punt upfield as he was good in the air and most full backs aren't typically as tall as Lee. He also works mega hard and provides an edge when defending/attacking set pieces. Thats total rubbish, yes...pump the ball to Lee in the Uefa Cup run where he heads it on after generally being unchallenged but the knock-on goes to nobody so its a useless tactic - it didn't maintain possession for the most part making it a ridiculous tactic. Tho I've also seen him losing his trademark 'on the wing headers' (if anything, another reason why we're so backward at times as a footballing nation, how folk praise that) to much smaller defenders. Also, in the midfield when he played on the wing he didn't work 'mega hard' and his work-rate can be heavily questioned where he was of when posted missing in games IMO and hardly touched the ball at all. I also strongly disagree tho, perhaps surprisingly, that he is no longer good up-front. His finishing skills are actually pretty decent IMO and I suggest you watch him score against Hearts in our 2-0 win against them at Ibrox in our Uefa Cup run season. I'd also love to know why when Lee had shown he cross the ball pretty decently with his assists away at Falkirk and Aberdeen, why not do it more often?

Martinblair1690 2 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Aye he can still do a job in the champions league cover for the defence sittin just behind the midfield. Had a few good games last season , people to quick to get on his back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieMacRFC 852 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It really does beggar belief but yes i do think Walter will still use him when injury occurs or maybe even as marc RFC said in old firm games just to add a bit of dig and Rangers mentality as he is certainly not the most skillfull player !!!
