AlBear. 8,499 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I wish him all the success in the world - but I can't help thinking that he has chosen the wrong club.Even if they are promoted (which I doubt), I believe they will go straight down again. Had he held on until the end of the season his choices would have been significantly better.Best wishes Lewis - I hope it all goes well for you.---Better to shine for Brentford, even in the championship next season, and earn a bigger move than do a Danny Wilson and stagnate for 3 years.

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Truly gutting but he's outgrown us right now. Ally McCoist and the regime have fucked us over once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Best of luck to him but i feel he may become another Ness or Wilson.Ness and wilson went to premiership clubs. MacLeods away to a championship team not long promoted from league 1. I hobestly think he'll make it big down south. My prediction is that he'll tare up the championship which will alert a premier league club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 He's probably been our best player along with Wallace but I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. Our financial situation is to blame for this more than Macleod being too good.---What I meant stb is we won't be able to hold on to his type of talent right now, and for the foreseeable future. Of course if our financial situation was better we could raise the price but it's inevitable players like him will leave, in future it would be nice on our terms though.I honestly think he is one of the best young British talents around. Plenty will say I'm wrong, or deluded, but it's my opinion. He has everything. Pace, strength, awareness, intelligence. He can create goals and score them. What's he got like 20 for us? He's increased his goals tally each season and he scores worldies. A large percentage of his goals were jaw dropping, still remember his first when he one touch Cruyff turned the defender on the edge of the box. Took my breath away. He's been our standout player since he came in, this despite having 3 serious long term injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I never felt the same about the likes of Ness, McCabe, Wilson etc as I do about Macleod. There's definitely sentiment involved due to how Lewis got his debut, but I still think Lewis has more than those guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calio 688 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Absolutely gutted, it's been a bitter/sweet kinda day.Must wish Lewis & his new Club all the best though, hope he helps get them to the EPL first attempt, as that is his level.Can't help but question, if it was really necessary though, just release the fucking Rangers Retail dividend already!

CaptainDandy 834 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Sad day for the club. Just shows you how far we've went back in recent times. I fear for the future and think we'll struggle to get back to where we were Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been our standout player since he came in, this despite having 3 serious long term injuries.I just don't think we'd quite reached that stage with Macleod yet, he hasn't even had a season in Scotland's top flight. The rumoured interest from the likes of Everton and Newcastle obviously never came to anything, and Brentford have got themselves a pretty cheap deal because of the state we're in, if we'd been a position where we could have held out for more money who knows if they'd have been willing to pay it? I know you rate him very highly and you could be right, I'm naturally sceptical because we've seen the same happen so many times before with young Scottish players and nine times out of ten they end up back here playing for someone like Aberdeen, stuck at an obscure English team or even at some virtually unknown league abroad. I'm not resentful towards him and I hope Lewis does go on and have a brilliant career but I don't believe we've lost him because he'd become too good for us to keep yet, simply we're fucked financially and that's been taken advantage of.

HeHaw 513 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Has been the most exciting player to have came through our youth ranks in a good few years.

gogzy 31,195 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Good luck to you Lewis. I wish we had been in a better financial state and could have kept him. We will move on though. I hope he does well in his career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effanwhy 2 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 In past years I'd be fuming that a young player that I rated very highly had flown the coop without us seeing the best of him. But the state of our football and coaching these days means I'm wondering if we have begun to hold him back. I think he must move to improve.
