geordiedean Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 McCormack would score 20 plus goals for us which is required for a promotion chasing team, he's not a premier league forward but scores goals in this league just like lovenkrands david kelly etc sometimes thats what you need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Not that its my money or it should be any concern to us really, but I'd much rather we tried to spend the money on players who could be good in the championship but equally do a job in our first season back in the prem, which is what we should be planning for. Probably a lot harder to obtain mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'd have took McCormack at the start of the season never mind now, not worth £10m like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just seen he was 2nd top scorer in the league last season Why exactly would Benitez not want him? I'm confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a mobile forward who has decent feet and a good record at this level. Yep, he seems like a Rafa striker for exactly those reasons. I don't get the hate, he's clearly the kind of player we need.

Of course, they weren't in his time at Fulham, where he scored a puny 1 in 2.59 in his first season (in a team that finished 17th) and 1 in 2.14 in this most recent season, when Fulham finished 20th. #shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 He'll be 30 at the start of the season and has never risen above the Championship. The idea of signing players who are proven at a lower level is similar to bringing in a manager who's proven at a lower level, its a bit short sighted. Surely £10m can get someone better, whether proven at Championship level or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 McCormack would very much be a signing for this division and this division only, I think. Would make sense but sort of short termist. In an ideal world you'd be looking for somebody with the scope to step up the the top flight. Basically I'm talking somebody who isn't one paced and Scottish.

Deuce Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Don't see why we can't add for the future as well as bring in players who'll help us immediately. We need a goalscorer, McCormack's proven. I don't think that precludes buying a younger striker with a higher ceiling as well. I suppose it'll depend on what Rafa's war chest looks like and/or how much he can scrape from sales.

Kaizero Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 McCormick as main striker this season with Mitro and Perez backing him up, then taking over back in the PL suits me fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
