Zatman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 8 minutes ago, It's Your Round said: He scores goals as I understand it. Plus, look who he's played for. With all due respect, Fulham and Leeds were never realistically challenging for promotion. Not just due to McCormack but because of the overall quality in their teams. didnt Fulham sign him for big money straight after relegation. I assume they expected him to fire them out of that league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I don't recall Darren Bent playing in Scotland, but that's probably none of my business. /doublepedant 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Bamford and Grealish sitting off Ayew would be tasty and very potent in that division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2016 RE: McCormack; Why didn't Christian Benteke fire us to the top of the league? It's ridiculous to assert that because he hasn't scored the goals to take a team up yet that he isn't capable of doing so. He's nothing like Darren Bent either. He holds the ball up well enough and brings others into play with intricate forward passing, works tirelessly, can shoot from any angle including outside the box and has 26 assists to go with his 60 goals in the last 2 and a half season. Twenty-six. Sixty. Why is he not in the Premier League? He's 5'9" and he lacks discernible pace. The Championship is his level but he's **** good at it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on but he'd still score in the PL he has good movement I think no ones gambled as its a lot for an unproven 29 yo in the PL We on the other hand know he'll score in this league and hopefully he'll have a crack at showing what he can do in the PL next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then either Bamford (my preference) or McCormack and maybe Wilson from Man Utd. Oh and maybe one or two more. Rico Henry, Morrison. Tom Carroll and Patrick Bamford will do nicely please!

Dave J Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 2 hours ago, bobzy said: I think he needs a solid base. Was touted as a future England star when he moved from Forest but hasn't found stability anywhere (joys of Chelski, I suppose). He's a cracking little player in terms of technique and intelligence and has scored plenty of goals at Championship level. People will point at his Premier League goals tally being 0 to say "he can't make the step up" - I honestly think he can, and that's why Palace and Norwich (among others, but they secured the loans) were keen to see him. From memory, he almost scored a beaut against Man City when at Norwich (hit the bar?). Loan with a view to permanent would be fine. I'd rather buy Bamford than McCormack outright, if that was an option. Couldn't have put it any better- I think the kid has loads to offer and would love to see him in a villa shirt. i honestly believe he has the attributes to go right to the very top. He needs stability and game time- then watch him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
