LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Read it, never said he would go. They were interested, just like they were a few years ago. Plus, how'd you know they didn't want him? Wouldn't be offering the same wages as Besiktas.You aren't very good at this game, are you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 £80,000 a week for mcgregor ?Kenny Miller was on £50,000 a week at Bursaspor. Kris Boyd is on at least £50,000 a week at Portland, that is the conditions of a selected player (each team is only allowed 3). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,433 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 LeeWallace's statement isn't incorrect, McGregor could play for a top 4 club, if they needed him.City have Hart, United have De Gea who is still young, Arsenal have Szczensny and Tottenham, are looking for a keeper but Lloris is another world class goalie.

The Godfather 70,782 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 He's not world class though and those keepers mentioned are very young and will only get better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder for keepers too because a club only needs one good one.Spurs have a keeper in his 40's and Gomez who is possibly the most inconsistant keeper in the league. McGregor wouldn't cost a penny. Why have they not snapped him up? If he is good enough for a top 4 EPL club then why hasn't a top 10 club went for him? Surely if he is that good then he must by your logic be better than at least half the keepers from 5th to 10th in the league right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many players are good enough but you cant sign them all.The fact is, if you put McGregor into one of the clubs he wouldn't be out of place.

Why the hell would they pay £15 mil if they could get a world class keeper for £0? I don't believe you are this daft mate.He would look out of place. He may be a top class shot stopper but he is poor on crosses, has poor distribution, cant command his area. If a goalkeeper that in my opinion is world class like Buffon or Hart became free agents do you think Besiktas would be the only suitors? In fact if a keeper like Vorm became available for £0 would it only be Besiktas? The answer is no. Big clubs aren't taken him on because he isn't good enough.

Vorm too has playing in the EPL, McGregor has played in the SPL his whole career, that is a reason why bigger clubs aren't going after him.Nobody would have said he wasn't good enough 2 months ago...

Are you now suggesting no player who played just in the SPL has went to England? Do I need to mention Gordon, Naismith, Hutton, Barry Bannan etc A good player is a good player no matter what. Plenty of players from smaller reputation clubs than Rangers have went to the EPL. Back to the drawing board mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the drawing board mate.Goalkeepers are different, you only need one.And none of the you mentioned went to a top 4 club. If your a top 4 club you want a proven player and you are going to pick Lloris over McGregor, doesn't mean McGregor isn't good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
