RAZOR Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm still quite hopeful we can persuade Norwich to extend the deal.I think the best solution for Cammy Smith is that United offer a nominal fee to take him permanentlyAgreed Agreed.Caley late goal aside, I don't recall him doing anything...St.Johnstone clinching goal Cracking goal away to Falkirk en route to lifting the cup.

maryhilldon Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Stirlingshen, is it a coincidence that Jacks been out for those 5 games? Link to comment
stirlingshen Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well if i'm not mistaken, Maddison's debut was also Hayes first league game of the season so I reckon that would be bigger than the Jack factor. Certainly don't think he should stroll back in to the team though Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The difference to me is Jack liked to sit deep in the DM role and took the ball from the defence to try to bring in Hayes and McGinn. (We can argue, and I would, how big an appetite he really had for doing this). Instead Maddison drops off the AM role and seeks the ball before using his obvious skill to make space, turn and either bring in Hayes and McGinn who are now on the front foot or running directly at the opposition, something Jack will never do. It's a key distinction. There should technically be room for both with the obvious switch being Jack for Maclean. Nice to have the competition for a change. Link to comment

For what's it's worth I don't think Maclean had been bad the last two games and the team looks to be forming quite nicely. I don't think anyone should be dropped at the moment. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'd agree. If he wasn't captain there wouldn't be a discussion to be had other than to say, as you did, that the weakest link* Maclean is playing his way back from a shite place and deserves to continue. * I personally don't think pulling Shinnie out of midfield is the way to go for us just now regardless of your thoughts on Considine at LB.

RAZOR Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 No, I'd certainly keep Shinnie in the midfield. He gives us the bite we desperately craved for so long. I think Considine has done a fine job for a couple seasons now and deserves his place. Maddison is the key though. He makes us tick. He's what Goodwillie should have been, a proper playmaker.

ebbe Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Maddison is already about 5 levels ahead of everyone else and he's only 19. His set pieces are unreal aswell, we should be getting a rake of goals off his deliveries before he heads back down the road. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 I wouldn't get too wound up about knowing what our best XI is as there is always an injury/suspension round the corner for Morton tho jack should be on the bench as the team that's won 4-0 shouldnt be changed* Link to comment

I think Considine has done a fine job for a couple seasons now and deserves his place. At this point, I'd have to agree. No point changing a team that's doing well and improving and that's despite me really wanting to see Shinnie at LB generally speaking. Jack should only be on the bench for the same reason.

stirlingshen Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 For me, some of the most exciting football under Mciness was in his first season where Mcginn and hayes had free reign. It seems like the last few games teams have been focusing in on maddison and Hayes and Mcginn have obviously benefited from that. I thought the sportscene segment on him illustrated that pretty well. The dribble he had in the second half where he had about 4 people around him was ridiculous-reminiscent of those shots you see of messi with that many defenders around him Link to comment
Tord31 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 while noting another assist for the lad I think it's not so certain he is going back to Norwich in January to walk straight into the team. Still confident an extended loan can be negotiated Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Win the cup win an extended stay I say. Link to comment
BWG Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Heard on twitter that Maddison was spotted out on the town singing hun songs with McLean, Shinnie and Jack. Time for wholesale changes to the squad I say. Rooney and Stockley also need dropped for not wearing Poppies for the full 90 minutes on Friday. 11 Link to comment

Hewitt a the pies Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Doesnt help much mind you, when norwich suddenly decide to wave bye bye to form.Biggest concern is if Neil gets dunted.

alscotoz Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 This guy really has an opportunity to put his stamp on Scottish football this weekend. I'm backing him in to do it. He's a winner and won't be around the likes of us and Norwich for long. Great bit of business by McInnes. Unsure if a cup win will strengthen or weaken our case if we want to extend loan in January. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It has to strengthen our case - great experience (not to mention shop window) for the lad. But conversely, and unavoidably, it also strengthens the case for them taking him back but only (and this is where the lad's own opinion kicks in) if he would walk straight into first team football. My hunch is no (and far be it from me to wish a bad injury on Naismith..... ) #rememberrobmilsom Link to comment
tup Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Why dont we just use the money from winning the cup to buy James Maddison? He's brilliant. Best young player we've had in years. The equal of Eoin Jess. Link to comment
BWG Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 do we get £8m from winning the cup aye? #twat Yes, but 7.5M of it is claimed by the masons. 1 Link to comment
