Will McGree be THAT big of a miss?
He's certainly a starter and first teamer, but I don't think he's pulled up many trees since he's been here.
Less than 12 months ago, when we were fighting for the PO's and potential auto's...his space wasn't cemented, due to Aaron Ramsey playing well.
Wouldn't be that big of a miss if his handing in of a request to leave is what has caused some disharmony behind the scenes. I have heard constant things about McGree so there has to be something in it I'd have thought, surprised if not
As said, we made it clear we were pushing for promotion to get him here instead of Celtic, was it??
so can understand his frustration as our form has been brutal over the season, he's bound to be looking to get out. Wouldn't be surprised if we assured him about signings and they didn't happen and he feels we were dishonest in the way we captured him as none of those came to fruition
It's a shame because I liked McGree when he was in the team more and we were doing well. Didn't see him at the time to be the kind to disrupt a good group of lads.
What would be more disappointing is if he is causing bother while he's been out injured along with others who are looking at leaving and it's caused fractions within the group
I don't feel the players are as behind MC as they once were, we're in bad form and that happens with most sides but I always felt MC had a quality about him that helped us avoid such things, less panic more focus
All conjecture for the most part, admittedly, of course .. but something defo hasn't been right for some time now. Disappointing. Whether MC and the hierarchy can remedy this with the 'clear out' everyone is saying will help us .. I just don't have faith we'll do enough in terms of strengthening and I'd be surprised if MC is still here come Xmas
For what it's worth I am not an 'MC out' but in this club, we just appear to go around in circles, I felt when MC first arrived we were finally changing that but it feels like we're going to end up back in familiar territory as it stands. I know we won last night but until that red card, I think the outcome was likely to be different.
See how the players react in the next few games. But I do feel that McGree's situation has been one of the main things bts likely causing a bit of grief
