The Jock Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 To be fair he has had 2 good seasons, 2 bad seasons. I reckon he would be a good signing though, just believe price and wages would be far too high McCormack is a striker he was banging them in at Cardiff.And then he got stuck out wide where he never wanted to be.When they got Boothroyd in.

ron10bc Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yes please. Great goalscorer at this level and just the type striker that would work well with Stead imo. Fingers crossed. McInnes is also in the market for a centre-half and left-back, but has dismissed rumours linking him with Middlesbrough's Stephen McManus and Chelsea starlet Ben Gordon. Please don't say Jody Morris is the 'creative midfielder' he was after? The Post have reported we are after Myhill, Dixon, Keogh, Suso and McCormack. Oh how I wish all of those came true. On rumours from the Post, our side would look like this: GK: Myhill RB: Foster/Skuse CB: Keogh CB: Fontaine LB: Dixon RM: Adomah CM: Skuse/Elliot CM: Suso/Morris LM: Pearson/Bolasie ST: Stead ST: McCormack/Pitman I like that squad be well happy if we can pull a few of these off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 To my knowledge there has only been 2 players DMc has bought from Scotland and one of them is a cockney geezer! By that rational we are just as likely to be raiding clubs from the midlands! All these names that youre reading about is coming from the press not the club. Absolutely, this was in the Welsh press a few days ago but let's be honest, even if it is true we are likely to be near the bottom of his likely destinations. I'd simply suggest the Post are trawling other papers and rumour sites for their stories, it would be an interesting exercise to see who we finally end up with in August as opposed to those they have linked us with, remember that Hearts goalie of about six weeks ago, for one?

Tins Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 McCormack is a striker he was banging them in at Cardiff.And then he got stuck out wide where he never wanted to be.When they got Boothroyd in. Yes he was played wide a lot, but he also didn't do well for Leeds when he first joined them. Cardiff fans say he has a problem with gambling, drinking, eating, driving and is just genuinely lazy and bad off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job is in the public eye, and like it or not he has to be a role model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job is in the public eye, and like it or not he has to be a role model. ok I agree with the role model part but as long as what he did stayed out of the papers. In regards to keeping his body in its best possible shape, if he went about it as what sounds normal but notched 20 goals in a season would you complain?

Kermit the Frog Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well i would be pretty damn happy with this if true. Always rated him. As for most of his goals coming from the spot, don't we need someone who can score penalties? From what i recall we are shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cannot see use splashing big money without money coming in. So I can see a scenario of Pitman out, McCormack in for similar fees.... Perhaps we should re-sign Clarkson too. Weren't the two of them very strong together at Motherwell??? (Jock will have an answer....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL's post was clearly quite tongue-in-cheek so why post that it was 'sour grapes' (?) or a lie (??) I think most of us would love to see McCormack come here, but I think the new regime won't want a big earner on the books so it is very unlikely IMO.

McCormack scored for Rangers in Europe.Like Miller first time around,we never gave him a chance.We pinched him from Celtic when he was young.I rate McCormack would have him back in a heart beat,if we were aloud to sign players again.And if we had the money,and we dont.I am not out to win any awards for popularity on here.All I want is for you team to do well and go up.Even if some off your supporters so not believe me.I want all the Scots managers in your league to do well.As it gets more off our players,playing in the top flight.And should make our national team better,well here is hoping or even dreaming.

He does not play for you any more.Also if Maynard is that good,why are West Ham interested in McCormack.It says Wigan are as well.So I hope that its true,and Snodgrass goes to Villa.And that is more guys we will have in the EPL.Its a cert Naismith,Whittaker,McGregor will be there to.How ever the shagger has options in Spain,Seville are still sniffing round him.

Brizzle Jordan Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hes been at an awful lot of clubs for only one season - usually a reason for that. Oh how I wish all of those came true. On rumours from the Post, our side would look like this: GK: Myhill RB: Foster/Skuse CB: Keogh CB: Fontaine LB: Dixon RM: Adomah CM: Skuse/Elliot CM: Suso/Morris LM: Pearson/Bolasie ST: Stead ST: McCormack/Pitman And if you think that squad with the money it would cost (3 mil and up) would get us anywhere near top ten then dream on! Myhill,Keogh,Suso,Morris and McCormack, if they were any good,would have been snapped up. Myhill was utter crap at Hull,kept out of the side by a flapping midget,Keogh just got relegated,Suso is a twitter hoax,Morris is too old and McCormack too expensive. Now we are not getting McManus. Bikey must be target no 1 and then a proper creative mid. Suso....ffs. Have a day off... Myhill has always been a good keeper at this level. Keogh may have got relegated but since when was it a 1 man team? Suso may be a twitter hoax but if you read my post I was going along by the rumours from The Post which he was on.

Please can you start your own thread and pass on any info there and if anyone is interested they click on it and argue until the cows come home then i dont have to read it. Thanks I'm inclined to agree. Can't we let Jock have his own thread for his pearls of Scottish wisdom? It would stop virtually every other thread sinking into a England v Scotland battle and make the forums alot easier to read ATM. If people want to read / argue his points then fine but those of us that don't, can read / comment on other threads without dredging through an awful lot of drivel (not all from Jock btw). I totally appreciate Jocks passion for Scotland and Scottish football but it's getting a bit daft now WTGR. Let's have an 'Ask Jock' thread.

Do you really not get it ?? This thread is a perfect example of why you piss off so many people. WE (BCFC fans) were discussing a report in our local paper that said we MIGHT be interested in Ross McCormack. THEN YOU TURN UP. Your started by saying why pay £2M for McCormack when Jamie Murphy would cost less. WE WERE NOT DISCUSSING MURPHY . There is absolutley no need to bring him into the thread , Nor Jamie Mackie or CMS or Miller or McFadden. If you want to comment on if you think the signing of McCormack would be good or bad , that's fine. Just leave all the other players out of it. Also you obviously have more knowledge than most on here of Scottish players but dont keep shooting there opnions down. Now as I've said elswhere , 4 other teams in our league have Scottish managers , go and pester them for a bit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
