CONFIRMED Mark McGuinness - 4 year contract

[Slim Man]

He's already misjudged and ran under more headers in his blades career than anyone else I can remember. That's a really poor trait for a 6' 4" centre half.

Apparently Egan was poor at that.
I always thought that was bullshit.

This is what being poor at that really looks like.

Agreed we've had a nightmare with the loan signings. Only Ogbene worth keeping on evidence so far and he's not been great

Not been convinced with Ogbene at all, I wasn't enthused by his signing in the first place.

 

[JD88]

He is very limited and I don't fancy him against McBurnie one bit on the weekend. However, he is comfortably a better bet than Bindon. So unless Godfrey comes in and plays on the side, with Mee in the centre of the back 3, I imagine he is in until January
I think it was T-Blade who said on here that panic had set in and we where chucking bids everywhere in August, I imagine this was one of them signings. Another example of the poor recruitment this summer

 

[Badger Blade]

McGuinness has been poor and being saddled with him for 4 years is utter lunacy. The only reason I can think of for starting him is the fact that he's big and just looks quite imposing.

That is until the whistle blows and he seems to be everywhere that the ball isn't. Compare that to Harry Souttar who just dominated everything and was handy with the ball at his feet

I think the hope was that we had a Souttar-type replacement but they're world's apart. We might as well give Zatterstrom a go as have him in the team for what he's delivered so far.

Nobody in the entire squad has been great but I dont think McGuinness has been any shitter than the majority of the squad. WhoScored actually have him as our best performing player (granted 4 games isnt a big enough sample size) and gave him MOTM vs Oxford.

The club is all over the place from top to bottom at the minute, I dont see how McGuinness has warrented being written off after 4 games, but I guess some people always need a scapegoat.
