the_r_sole 366 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Anyone know what the deal is with him?we are in desperate need of an experienced and half decent cb that knows the position and how to play it… and we have one in the squad who seems not to be injuredIs McCulloch really that good, a guy that's played his entire career as an attacker of some variety, to keep him out the team on footballing grounds or is there more to it?Really wish our management (if there is such a thing) would just pick the team on players ability to play a position and nothing more Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatDolphins 5,359 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So we're basically paying a guy to recover from alcoholism? Did we know he had a problem when we signed him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,653 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Horrendous defender,complete waste of a wage,couldn't get in a Leeds team who we're leaking goals every week,they tore his contract. Up, his injury was funny,fell over while heading the ball out of play with nobody near him! Was up there with smith collapsing in thePenalty box on Saturday, As usual with players in Scotland plays 2 or 3 good games with hearts against hibs or Aberdeen and he's aWorld beater,then goes down South and is shown up for what they really are 4th rate nobodies,would rather have daly in centralDefence than this guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer an average defender playing in an average defence against average/poor opposition than playing a guy that should have retired about 2 seasons ago (being kind) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
