Hope not. Alarming to say the least. Jury is out with Pedro, but he's persisted with waghorn after countless poor performances, yet Barrie, when given a run, time and confidence he's unplayable and easily the best player we've produced for years. 

 

Reckon its shite but if not, Pedro better explain what the fuck he's thinking. Unless Weiss walks in tomorrow, we aren't getting a better winger than McKay 

Hahaha, wit?

Had 4/5 good games all year, after starting nearly every game until like October/November a think.

Lewis MacLeod is easily better.

Barrie won a slide tackle Vs Aberdeen.

Don't think that lump of wood Windass has ever won one.

One set up the goal

He did, but he is fucking pish.

Good at shouting at wee players younger than him but an absolute coward who plays like he has the football brain of a mongo.

Not forgetting Barrie scored more goals in the previous 2 games than Windass has all season, 1 of them he created and finished himself.

[Blues Brother 1,115]

I reckon McKay, on his day is very good. But all to often he is not on his day.

He lacks the touch of arrogance to be a top level player.

the question is can he find that with the more experience he gains? He has after all only played one full season in the top league.

I think he may be worth an extra year deal and if he hasn't improved then flog him.

Has Mcleod even played for Brentford? Or still struggling with injuries. He was a talent, don't get me wrong but McKay has done more for us than Lewis did. Imo 

Different players. Lewis was a lot more consistent but he wasn't as direct, as pacy or as influential.

Partick off the top of my head. Game changer. I honestly can't remeber that much, but we've a whole team that's underperformed. Why single out McKay who has performed and *CAN* perform 

We've been cutting quality every year since about 03/04. And Scottish football hasn't produced quality since the 80's. why would Barrie McKay be more consistent than any of those greats?

Never suggested for a minute he should be any more consistent than any of the greats. I'd be quite happy with him just being more consistent than the rest of the shite in this league but he can't even manage that.

Social fucking media at it's best:

Pedro has told winger Barrie McKay that he is free to look for a new club.

Quite conflicted here as I wouldn't trust a thing I read on either of those pages...

[SuperPapac05 3,383]

Hopefully we can con some club to give us some magic beans for him. 

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

So after 8 pages the essential answer to the OP's question is the twitter rumour is not substantiated and the OP was correct to wheel out the thread with a large barrowload of salt.    It's turned into a lively thread on the 'for' and 'against' points about whether he should be kept on though.

The thread opens up another question though.    Since the fuss at the end of April about leaks coming out of Ibrox and Pedro looking to plug them it seems to be the case that despite this being a very newsworthy week with players being told this week / today about whether they are in the Manager's plans for next season, and with players about to go on holiday after the game tomorrow it seems there are no leaks.    Leaks plugged (at least for now) I wonder?

Would be a bad move imo. 

Still young and would benefit from being around better players. 

I don't think so

He plays 1 out of 4 big games

He has been found out as a powderpuff pussy

Get rid of all these losers .Start a fresh

FFs when I think of the wingers we have had . And some still are creaming themselves over him

Nah, he's a young player, plenty of potential. 

We've still got him for a year so stick him in as a squad player next season around a bunch of better quality players (hopefully) and see what happens.

[Ben10 2,292]

He looked a 12million player at the semi final. That talent must be nurtured and catered to. If we sell him now it would be disastrous. Not good business

We won't win the league with players who are inconsistent and shite bags to jump into 50/50 battles, so I agree with Pedro here.

Better get shot of the whole team then.

[NeoGeo7 10,541]

Put it this way I wouldn't be touting him around out of our current bunch as I can't see us being able to replace 20 players so some will stay on and Barrie is better than most as we know he can perform it's just getting him to do it that is the trick.

However, if.some English outfits want to pay us a good few million for him then let him go. Obviously as he's in his last year that good few million is sitting at about 1 million just now and will only go down. If he won't sign a new deal then we look to sell him.

[saintbob1969 1,473]

Rangers helped toughen up Arteta, and a few other young players, McKay has had ample opportunity to grow into a man. He's not good enough for what we need.

[Pedrono1 92]

So as many of our fans are willing to let him go if this were the case then who realistically that we can afford that has the pace and attacking ability he has although rarely used to you suggest we bring in to replace him? There arent any in our youth academy that are capable of making the jump up and none in Scotland is take so were is the replacement coming from and were do we get the cash from ?

Spot on other than I think you're being generous by saying he plays in 1 out of 4 big games.

You've just admitted in your post that he rarely uses his ability so why would you think he'll be hard to replace?

I meant when he uses his talent and is in the mood to actually play he can be unstoppable but just doesn't do it often enough . In my opinion playing with the shower of shite around him it's naturally going to drag him down to their level of performance, i can only hope that if given the opportunity to play aong side a higher and more technically superior players would bring out the best in him more regularly.  But my point was who out there just now can we afford that can do what he can however rare it may be , can we get who will do it week in week out? 

[gogzy 31,195]

I would be offering him a 4 year deal, not telling him to find a new club.

I don't buy into this theory that somehow the players around him are making him shite tbh. Good players will shine even in a poor team, if anything him being surrounded by shite should make him stand out even more.

As for replacing him, obviously I want any signing we bring in to be a brilliant performer every week but tbh if the choice was between Barrie McKay putting in 9 shite performances for every good one or a less talented player who will at least give us consistent performances then I'd choose the latter every single time.

Replace him with someone willing to give 100% every game. 

Mckay has talent but he's a luxury we cannot afford next season.

Scum, hibs, hearts, Aberdeen and possibly Dundee Utd are all teams who hate us with a passion that we will come up against next year and mckays mentality is not something we can ill afford in these games.

I agree with u to a point yes I want someone who is always going to give 100%  every game of course we do but that isn't alwaysgoing to win games it definitely helps no doubt about that but if there is a genuine lack of ability or creative talent then we will struggle. I see both side of the argument but for me unless we can make a vast improvement on his replacement then we should see how he goes with hopefully a better quality of player by his side
