EE: McGhee loses plot

[nellie_boy]

He's quoted elsewhere as saying that Adam Virgo was his top scorer at Brighton when he moved him upfront

 

Seems he may be serious after all

How Wayne Rooney is helping Aberdeen FC find a new striker

Boss McGhee creates striker blueprint

 

Published: 03/03/2010

 

ABERDEEN FC boss Mark McGhee today revealed how he is using Manchester United star Wayne Rooney as the benchmark in his hunt for a new striker.

 

McGhee admitted he can only dream of ever being able to afford to buy someone in Rooney’s league.

 

But the Aberdeen FC manager has drawn up a list of the England star’s attributes and has used that as his blueprint in the hunt for the best striker that he can afford in the summer.

 

[maverick sheep]

Why not just list Roy of the fucking Rovers' attributes as a basis for finding a player???

 

Fuck sake Mcghee was a striker so he should already KNOW what a fucking striker is!

 

We've been given an unbelievable amount of shit to swallow since FT in the last game of last season.

So finally we discover the primary difference between Calderwood and McGhee.

 

Calderwood looked for players who would "kick their Granny"

 

McGhee looks for player who will "shag a Granny"

 

Seriously though what's on this list.

 

Receding Hairline:              Yes/No

Large amount of Freckles:    Yes/No

Ugly:                                Yes/No

Annoying wife:                  Yes/No

Shit taste in baby names:    Yes/No

Scouse accent:                  Yes/No

McGhee is probably suffering the same fate as Calderwood here. The North East press are so fucking desperate for a story they'll take any remark and twist it into a story to fill some inches in the sport pages. That in turn gets analysed and disected by the message boards, until the only logical conclusion is that the manager is a fat weegie oaf/tactically naive Celtic sympathiser* (delete as appropriate)

Utter nonsense story.

I wonder if Sir Alex is using the 'Jerel Ifil Blueprint' to sort out his defence for next season.

I'll take a guess - he'll spend most of summer trying to sign 2 or 3 players he knows he can't afford then when we sign nobody he'll give a completely baffling press conference where he lectures us about the financial state of the club and tells us to lower our expectations for another season.

Whilst we sign Dobbie, Dobie, Dopey or whoever on loan!

That's what I've come to expect but with almost 6 months until the close of the next transfer window surely to fuck SOMETHING positive will happen...

 

...it's late. I'm clearly tired and delusional.

Is the correct answer.
