Stellaboz Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Moffat was by far a better link player whilst McManus is more of a beating the offside trap kind of player. He could also score against more teams than just Morton. Shite first touch though. Id keep McManus now that Clark is away for sure, but we need a new striker unless Ryan steps up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMessiah Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Comparing McManus to Moffat is a little insulting imo, different kind of player entirely though tbh. IN FM terms Moffat was a "Deep Lying Forward" set to attack McManus is a "Defensive Striker" set to "support" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IMO Moffat offered far more in that regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McManus has a good habit of turning up for the big games as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Little love for McManus being shown here. Think you are just preparing yourselves psychologically if he should leave for St Johnstone so that it doesn't hurt too much. Personally I'll be disappointed if he leaves, I think the "runs about a lot stuff" is nonsense, he is a player who presses high and forces defences to play the ball early. I think we'd miss him no matter if you won't admit it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) McManus wants to play every game and tries his best every game. He's a whole hearted player who gives defences a hard game. He squanders the odd chance but overall he's an asset and an intergral part of our current squad. I hope he signs on for next season., 100% behind him.

Stellaboz Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If we want to win this league, should we try sign another striker? Genuine question, maybe it's a case of who becomes available and AJ sees fitting into his plans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 With our main striker going we need another goal scorer. No question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'd imagine we'll start the season with Ryan, McManus and Smith up front. Off the top of my head I can't think of any strikers that are available at the moment that would improve that team and the manager has always recruited strikers later on in the Summer since he's been here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'd say it's imperative we try to sign another striker. Where we actually get one from is another matter. Not as if a 15 to 20 goal a season players are hanging about for long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like the most obvious option to replace Clark, guaranteed at least 10 goals. I just can't stop myself hating every single aspect of imagining him in a pars kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Clark in serious debt apparently. Would go anywhere paying more. Turned down st mirren. United paying more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I have absolutely no bitterness towards Clark, came in, done a good job and left for another job which pays more. If it wasn't for him up at Inverness then AJ probably would've been sacked. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 That's why I'm bitter towards him It's his fault AJ still our manager... jokes. No issue with Clark whatsoever. Wanted him to stay but wasn't to be. Just hope he has at least 360 bad minutes against us next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
