Saint Charlie Posted 23 January, 2013 Author Posted 23 January, 2013 For me he was a terrible signing when we allegedly baulked at paying for Malbranque who at the time was class. McCann was coming to the end of his Rangers career and was on the downward slide - no time to jump into the Prem. He could deliver a semi decent cross but despite being very slow and weak on the ball always tried to go on the outside of the top Prem fullbacks....with little success. It might have worked against Gregor McDonald of Inverness but the Gary Neville's of the Prem just fly swotted him away. Terrible signing by WGS/Lowe because you could see from the first game he had no chance. I prefer our no 10 now.
a1ex2001 Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Worst of these threads so far! Anyone who says he was anything other than garbage is either his mum or blind and stupid.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Shocking player. Never Prem class in a million years.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 January, 2013 Author Posted 23 January, 2013 Worst of these threads so far! Anyone who says he was anything other than garbage is either his mum or blind and stupid. Apologies - I have lined up two crackers to end the week with. It is also important to remember signings like McCann - £1.5m thrown away. Easy to do - wouldn't say during the Cortese era there have been any as poor as this, bearing in mind when he signed 1.5m was probably still in our top 10 fees we had ever paid!
Thedelldays Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Signing players like him and having their chairman going on about aiming for the champions league was utterly embarrassing Was just not very good at all
beancounter saint Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 He did deliver the two balls for Delap at Highbury in I think 03/04 though. A bit like Jonno Forte - one stand out contribution in his Saints career!
wireframebox Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 I stayed at the same hotel as him on holiday once in Marbella. Claim to fame...
beatlesaint Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Absolutely abysmal player.......apparently he was total quality in training, his only problem was he was crap on matchdays !
bpsaint Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 0 goals? I'm sure he scored in a cup game for us? Still **** though.
influx Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 0 goals? I'm sure he scored in a cup game for us? Still **** though. Yeah he did in the league up against Northampton. I remember coz I was there. Oh and Wiki
Ekelund24 Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Made an outstanding run off the ball for Griffit to score his first goal (against Blackburn I think) but apart from that not a lot! Sounds like one of the herion addicts from Trainspotting
Crowds Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 ****e... Can't decide who was worse him or Telfer...
saints-cris Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Utter rubbish. Only thing I remember of him is falling over.
georgeweahscousin Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Possibly makes the worst XI i've ever seen.
Greedyfly Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Yep think that one is pretty comprehensive. Complete TOSH. Literally the worst Saints player I have ever seen of the legit signings (and by legit signings I am discounting Ali Dia and Bleidis etc) and that is taking into account the signings that came after him.
Bananaman Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Possibly makes the worst XI i've ever seen. This... just awful.. spent most of his time on the floor
dubai_phil Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 ****e... Can't decide who was worse him or Telfer... At least Telfer used to look like he was trying
solentstars Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 At least Telfer used to look like he was trying I think McCann must have been one of our worst signings Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
niceandfriendly Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 ****e... Can't decide who was worse him or Telfer... Obviously McCann, as he was sh*te and Telfer wasn't all that bad.
dubai_phil Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 I think McCann must have been one of our worst signings Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Up there with Terry Curran & Perry Groves and just short of Ali Dia
georgeweahscousin Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Does get some positive points for smacking Lee Bowyer.....

sandwichsaint Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 Awful. Wish people would lay off Telfer a bit, HDAdecentJFU on balance and a really top bloke off the pitch too.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 January, 2013 Author Posted 23 January, 2013 Strachan didn't learn and signed a load of these sweaties for Middlesborough too.
a1ex2001 Posted 23 January, 2013 Posted 23 January, 2013 ****e... Can't decide who was worse him or Telfer... Ridiculous comment Telfer was a decent professional who did a good job for us particularly when him and Williams arrived just after Strachan and really settled the rocking ship. Apologies - I have lined up two crackers to end the week with. It is also important to remember signings like McCann - £1.5m thrown away. Easy to do - wouldn't say during the Cortese era there have been any as poor as this, bearing in mind when he signed 1.5m was probably still in our top 10 fees we had ever paid! I was pretty shocked by the fee at the time given our record was 4 million odd for Delap (very odd decision!) to spend what was a significant chunk of our money on this never had been seemed madness when surely we could have found someone better! I think the Cortese transfer commitee and some good scouting should prevent future stupidity like this, if the manager asks the committee for a decent winger you'd like to think after scouring the globe they'd come back with a better option! So far the committee seems to be working allthough the jury is very much out on J-Rod and Mayuka!

Oh yes there is one from the present era.....Fox - very similar poor player...
