King Jela 20,360 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Aye but he's only in the SPL Top class keeper, lucky to have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,751 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's good to see that his shot stopping ability is above the average but it means nothing to me as I know McGregor is head and shoulders above the shit keepers i.e Kingson, Carson, Green & Mignolet who will undoubtedly drag that average figure down a fair bit.What I really care about is how his shot stopping compares to the top guys in that division i.e Cech, VDS, Reina & Hart.

BILL.I.AM 18 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 3/4 of shots saved, for a fraction of the price.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo 1,433 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Aye but he faced shots from SPL standard players, not EPL super-duper-stars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Apples and oranges. I agree with Amac9 about him being offski this summer. You'll then get a truer reflection of the stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SasaFknPapac 9 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's all very well saying a shot in the SPL is the same as in the EPL, but I'd far rather take a strike off of John Sutton than Wayne Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillete 1,338 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Pitty he didn't run out and karate kick samaras on the head in January and Lennon would have got his P45 well before now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SasaFknPapac 9 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 By using sutton as a comparison to Rooney i can see that.Both finished about 10th top scorers in their respective leagues, scoring around 11 goals.Seems a fair comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SasaFknPapac 9 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I think McGregor is one of the best in Europe, but these stats don't show it.No doubt Fraser Foster's stats are up there with McGregor, doesn't mean he's as good a keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
