I strongly think we should keep him if he can. He has flaws and much of the criticism on this thread is valid but I think a few people are being too harsh. People are forgetting what he's done for us in the past and he will find form again - hopefully sooner rather than later! I remember last season at one point people were getting worried he was playing too well and we were bound to lose him.
As for the suggestion Marshall is an adequate replacement for McNamee then I think that's bollocks. Especially if you compare Marshall to an in-form Macca, Macca is clearly much more of an attacking threat.

It would be a bit short sighted if we did let him go. I know he's not had the best of seasons but an in form Macca is head and shoulders above anyone else on the wing in the division.
If we're serious about the playoffs I don’t think we should be loaning rivals some of our better players.
I wonder if the story is a nonsense though and cobbled together off their failed bid in the summer and a loan signing being imminent.

Wasn't so much the idea of a replacement, more the fact they are similar players and Marshall will be cheaper. Clearly an in-form Macca is a lot better than Marshall but if you do fuck all for 3 quarters of the season whats the point? Macca clearly has the talent but he doesnt seem to be up for the cause really. He (much like if Parkin was to come back) is living on past good displays. Overall he is pretty poor now. If we can get 50k for him I say take it really. |

Usually when players are out of form they get dropped until they can work their way back into the side, like Payner and he is back on form. We cant drop Macca due to lack of options so getting rid of him is stupid unless we get a replacement.

I also think he is a good attacking option and with 2 strikers in form he will provide goals. Plus he scored the other week. Did one shit game cost us? No, we won.

Macca is the best winger at the club and it would be folly to get rid. When on form he is the most exciting player 1 on 1 I've seen at the CG for years. There's not much better than watching him make full backs look very silly.

I would be pissed off if he went for that much! We all wish Macca was more consistent but even performing very well in a minority of games that can contribute significantly to whether we can win or draw a match. Even being inconsistent his performance could translate into anywhere up 5 or perhaps even 10 points come the end of the season. I would agree its hard to estimate stuff in that way but in theory without Macca we might have been relegated last season. Am I saying he's been so good for us in the past we should hang on to him through his dip in form? Yes I am. |

Occasionally I drag along mates who support other clubs. The one player they remember & talk about is Mac Namee.
True he messes up sometimes, but even against Heddersfield (which was a poor game for him) he put in one wicked early cross (no step over) which could well have led to a goal if someone had got on the end of it.
Reminds me at times of mark Walters. He used to disapear as well, but they only have to get it right a few times to cause damage & if he tneeds two to mark him he is worth playing just for that.
