Problem is he has Hoolahan in front of him at the moment, when/if Hoolahan goes he'll step in.

He wont sign another contract now. If Norwich dont want him then he might as well go on loan somewhere else.
He wont play for Swindon again. Were not a club on our knees anymore. He needs us more than we need him!

He is clearly not wanted here, either.
He doesnt fit into Danny Wilson ethos of hard working players who are comfortable with the ball at their feet.
Tch Dave.You can level many criticisms at McNamee but one thing you cant deny is his "ball comfort"! |

From a Southend forum
I dunno if i posted this before but Ron told me on the phone a couple of weeks ago that we have offered Swindon Revell for £25k on a first refusal. But they refused! He said he will be reluctantly back in Jan and then farmed out if poss as we don't wanna be paying his £2k a week salary. We also have offered Revell as part of a Part exchange for Morrison but again Swindon are not keen!

Good!
Revell for Morrison would be daylight robbery!

I can and I shall.... He could run with the ball but I dont ever remember him passing it around like Sheehan has done wide left, or how Ward was doing saturday. McNamee was generally head down, run, step over, naff cross. Fine, he could do that but I dont think he ever passed it about and retained possesion like we do currently. |

"Passing the ball around" is not the same thing as "comfortable on the ball" though.First touch,ability to run with the ball and confident with the ball at your feet,yes.And come on,"naff cross"? The amount of chances he set up can also not be denied.Im not saying he wasn't less effective in his last few games but I would wager that during his time here he set up more chances than anyone.

His best performances were against big clubs. And half of those were pre season friendlies.
The rest, average. Nuff said.
Maybe if Southend could get Revell and convert him to a centre back we might be interested in 25k? This player does not command a fee.

Being able to pass and receive the ball to feet is being comfortable on the ball. Yes, naff crossed - most of them hit the first man, same with his corners. Assists since McNamee has been here, can only get them for full seasons. 07/08 Zaaboub - 9 JPM - 7 Cox - 6 McNamee - 5 Paynter - 5 08/09 McNamee - 12 Paynter - 7 Cox - 4 HRK - 4 JPM - 3 09/10 JPM - 11 (already!!) Amankwaah - 3 Paynter - 3 McNamee - 2 In total JPM - 21 McNamee - 19 Paynter - 15 Cox - 10 Zaaboub - 9 |

That hardly backs up your opinion that he's naff at crossing, does it?!

In total
JPM - 21
McNamee - 19
Paynter - 15
Cox - 10
Zaaboub - 9
That's assists for goals though Dave,I said chances.Still second to JPM is not bad and not the mark of a naff player.Plus,even by your definition of comfortable on the ball,few are better at receiving a ball. |

I thought Simon Ferry had about 6 assists to his name this season?

I expect JPM has played a fair few more matches than Mcnamme, as Macca only joined in January 07/08 and we had JPM for most of that season didn't we, as he joined in August with Paynter and Coxy? |

Zaaboub also got 9 assists the following season for Walsall - putting him up to 18 and having the disadvantage of not being in L1 this seaon
